[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 215676, member: 36738"] Hi [USER=36483]@mg42guy32[/USER] These are outstanding grades (especially in physics!) and you should feel confident applying to [I]any [/I]firm you’re interested in. They will not be a problem at all. If anything, your degree shows strong intellectual ability, particularly when compared to most law graduates (there's a reason why STEM graduates and business graduates are increasingly in demand in commercial law, often over and above those with LLBs). Your academic record is a very strong signal that you’ll be able to pick up the law quickly. I think the more important question for you won’t be grades, but how you explain your interest in law (and specifically commercial law) in a way that feels convincing to grad recrutiers. Firms will want to see why you’re making this switch, and how you’ve evidenced that motivation through things you’ve done outside your academics (open days, insight events, work experience, wider reading, etc.). If you can build that narrative, I’ve no doubt you could have your pick of UK or US firms. Good luck and I hope you land that TC at your dream firm!!! [/QUOTE]
