I have such a range of grades (49% to 84%, however a 2.1 in both years) and have had ACs with MC and US firms whilst also having a VS last year! So it really depends more on the individual firm rather than the group!- Legal_rawn

2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion
From my personal experiences (so not indicative of the whole market) I have found that this year I am doing way better with the US firms as a final year non-law student than with the MC firms.
