I am a double graduate from DU (Pol Science Hons., North Campus College) and have done my LLB from a tier 2 college (NOT DU). Although I am a topper of my LLB course, my percentage is 62.70. I wish to apply to UCL/Durham/Edinburgh for LLM but what chances do I have?
The Twist:
1. I have done some wonderful internships, including AGI and SAMCO.
2. I have two publications
3. I have done Social Service
4. I am the first Ranker of my class
P.S- I had to pursue LLB from tier 2 college due to a personal mis hap that can be explained :)
I am applying for 2025 fall intake, the application opens in 20 days. Very Scared!
Some advices would be very very helpful :)
Thanks so much!
durham will take you, edinburgh most likely will also take you
apply to qmul + soas for back up (they will take anyone above 60%) if you want to stay in london
2. I was in a similar situation a while back, got rejected by UCL. My advice is to make up for it with work experience.
Yes I will be working before applying. I have everything else, probably a strong CV! Just the marks :/
That too, I am close and also 1st Ranker.
3 year programs won't let us score marks. :(
Same is the situation with me! I have about 9 internships, publications, and social service. I will also be working before I apply.
Just the marks bracket is acting as a barrier.
Will applying with the help of any agency make a difference?
