[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 214126, member: 1"] The way I'd see this is that (1) you clearly had extenuating circumstances in your first year and (2) you showed progression from first year to second year with a high 2:1. I'd still keep in mind the need to write many high quality applications to firms you are interested in (and definitely do the bit extra of meeting as many firms as you can), but this won't hold you back from getting a training contract :) [/QUOTE]
