I am a First Year Law student and I am looking at requirements for Vacation schemes for next year. My A-Levels didn’t go to plan due to some problems I dealt with. In short, my school life wasn’t at all great; bullying from a teacher and kids through secondary, getting SA’d by a guy in my year, my grandad getting cancer around exam period.
That’s the general gist of it. I got ABBB at alevel, the law firm needs AAA. I know there are other firms but this is more of a question out of curiousity. Would I be able to use these issues as mitigating circumstances, or would it hurt my career more so to do it?

It’s not going to hurt your career. That information doesn’t go any further than an application form.

What were your predicted grades?
