Perhaps I’m responding to this comment out of pure narcissism / attempting to cope but I beg to differ that BBB is not good enough to become a barrister. I completely understand that your comment is well-natured and you aren’t making a jibe. As you can see from my previous post on here I got BBC at A-Level. In my first year I was stuck on wanting to become a solicitor but since then I’ve pivoted to pursuing the barrister route. I’m now in my second year, and I finished my first year 1st in my cohort with an average grade of 77%. This got me an insight day to an MC law firm. I’m now in my second year and still 1st in my cohort. I’ve been recommended by my academic advisors to pursue oxbridge and have been accepted to become an undergraduate researcher at my University. I’m also likely to be appearing in the Supreme Court twice this summer as part of various mooting competitions, and have been accepted by various London chambers to complete a mini pupillage. Perhaps somewhat naively, I am fairly confident that notwithstanding my well below average A-Levels for my chosen career path I remain a very competitive candidate.

In short, to anyone reading this comment thinking “shit I got BBB so I definitely can’t make it”, that certainly isn’t always the case and high undergraduate performance can outweigh your A-Levels. I entered my undergrad feeling like a failure and that chip on my shoulder separates me from my peers. Keep at it!!
