Hi @Jessica Booker and everyone,

I’ve got a 2:1 in law and recently started the LLM SQE course, but I was withdrawn after failing one module. I’m planning to apply for vacation schemes and training contracts later this year, but I’m unsure how this might affect my chances.

There’s no official record of the failed course, but I understand any gaps on my CV might raise questions. I’m not trying to hide anything, but I’m not sure if it's still realistic to apply.

I meet the 2:1 requirement for most firms and still really want to qualify as a solicitor. Would really appreciate any honest thoughts or advice. 🥹


Thank you so much.
