[QUOTE="Josie, post: 12783, member: 2795"] Hi Jessica, I am about to go into my third year studying law at a RG uni. I've achieved 2:1s and 1sts so far with a current average of 78 and have lots of work experience (both commercial and private client) and extra curricular activities. However my GCSEs are average and I achieved ABC at A Level which I'm worried will significantly hold me back from the bigger London firms with a minimum AAB requirement. I understand that most firms no longer screen applications and review them holistically but in your opinion do you think I would stand a chance at the bigger firms e.g silver circle, regional and US if I submitted strong application answers? In previous applications I have mentioned some personal family circumstances that occured during my A Levels and that moving unexpectedly led me to have to travel nearly 2 hours to and from college, however I don't think they class as MCs as I have nothing to prove them from my college or exam board. Would you suggest leaving them out or adding them to the 'additional information' box provided in applications? Many thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
