TC Application

[lb0810]

One of my top firms for a TC has a strong focus and reputation for their private client work. I didn't do particularly well in Equity (as in I got 50%), but all of my other modules are consistently 2.1s and I am currently completing some very hands on work experience which is quite private client-focussed (I've been drafting wills, LPAs, researching, meeting clients, etc.. and been receiving good feedback). Would my poor Equity mark be completely detrimental to my application, and is there any point in even applying?

I very much doubt this will be an issue

You can guarantee they won't give you an offer if you don't apply!

Okay, I know that's a trite and somewhat unhelpful comment as you don't want to spend the many hours polishing an excellent application if it will be an inevitable rejection.

It seems to me, however, that you have a very genuine interest and strong experience in the area you're applying to. If that isn't an excellent reason to apply to the firm, then I don't know what is! If you are unsuccessful, it could be for any one of a hundred possible reasons, but my guess as well is that this one mark will not make the difference.

Go for it and good luck!
