[QUOTE="chelsealohhh27, post: 199571, member: 37662"] Hello, I obtained a 2:2 for my LLB. If I wasn't mistaken, it's 58%. I did fairly well in my 1st year, 2 1st Class grades, and the rest were 2:1. My mother was diagnosed with stage-3 cancer in my 2nd year of uni and divorced my father shortly after her diagnosis. I have accepted an offer to a Banking and Finance LLM at QMUL, and I'll try my best to go for a Distinction, at least, in hopes of making up for the 2:2 degree classification. However, I'm not very sure if this would work. I have 6 months of work experience as a paralegal (IPO team) at a law firm back in my home country. And at the same time, I'm also working as a freelance translator. I was also wondering if I could do a BSc in Finance and try to get a 2:1 or 1:1 so I could rely on that to strengthen my application as well. May I know if it's worth it? And would the LLM strengthen my application if my grades were good enough? Lastly, would the above mitigating circumstance that I mentioned be a strong ground to support my failure to obtain a 2:1?
