[QUOTE="Camilla, post: 13036, member: 2130"] Hi Jessica As a bit of background, I have a 2:1 but poor BTEC results (merit, pass, pass) equivalent to C,E,E. I have good work experience (I am a career changer) and I was able to pass the application stage for 3/5 top 40 firms in the last round despite not meeting the A-level criteria, making it to assessment centre for one firm. My question relates to open days. When allocating open day spaces to applicants, are grades taken into consideration? If I am given a space on an open day, does this mean that I wont be rejected due to my grades alone? I understand that most firms have scoring systems and that grades only make up one part, but I am just curious to know how much thought is given to applicants grades when allocating spaces. I recently attended Clyde & Co's open day despite not having AAB and I have now applied to Clifford Chance's open day and passed the WG test. I have been reluctant to apply to Magic Circle firms as I thought that my grades would never make the cut, but having experienced some success in the last round, I am now feeling braver! Your insight would be much appreciated. Camilla [/QUOTE]
