I agree with that some MC firms are not strict with grades for example Linklaters I know people with 2.2 got a VS there.
Thank you Jessica and I think some firms are more strict with grades I mean having a 2.1 overall but one 2.2 is okay but do US firms take a stricter approach on grades.
Thank you guys and I agree with that certain modules like contract law grades matter more.
There definitely does seem to be a rule of thumb with grades in regard to overall % per year. I had a 2.1 (non law) from decent RG but I had 2.2s overall in my first and second years, so ended up having to pull the rabbit out of the hat in my final year to get the 2.1.
I also agree certain modules matter more. I did a part time job alongside my GDL (and was also far too relaxed in my approach to the course and it’s demands I won’t lie) and ended up with a high pass. Not a killer in itself but I ended up with a 44 in contract law.
Fast forward 20 months and despite having a lot of legal/professional experience under my belt I’m still yet to get to the AC stage of any application.
I’ve had good/great feedback on my apps and my practice VIs - at this point I’m wondering how much experience I’ll need to offset my poor grades.
