I think we have to differentiate between connections and no connections. This is the reality. Ppl with 2:2s, below cum laude - if they have connections and bother to use it, big fours, JLVs, etc are not an issue. They do not fall into any of the categories when it comes to finding a TC. Even if they do not admit it, it's quite obvious.
Excluding these people, it is quite plain that 2:2s, below cum laude are having a bad time. 2:1s/Magnas from
NUS/
SMU do get the opportunities for interview, but after that it's all about performance.
Frankly CCAs are not important unless they relate to law, i.e. Moots.
