Hi Jessica,

I hope you're well. I really need some advice!

If I am self-funding my LLM SQE, does the course provider matter? I am leaning towards City but have noticed most firm-sponsored students go to UoL or BPP. If I go to City, will that impact my chances when applying for TCs?

Hi there again!
I was wondering if you had heard back from W&C yet? I haven't yet and I'm just wondering if that means it's a rejection considering how long it's been since my AC.
Thanks!

Hi!

I still haven't and it's been about 5 weeks now. I would probably advise calling next week (that's my plan) if you're still waiting.
