I had ECs that affected my final mark in my third year at university, but still ended with a 2.1, albeit a really low one. Should I mention this in my application?
Also, would it be worth mentioning an internship done with another law firm? I completed a unique internship working in-house for 2 weeks, then private practice for one week. Although this is relevant experience, it could undermine my application as the internship was with a smaller national firm as opposed to an international firm like
Reed Smith.
Lastly, are there any requirements for the SQE apart from passing? I read that certain firms would want results in the first quintile? I'm currently completing an SQE course and plan to sit the exams next year.
