[QUOTE="HnG, post: 72229, member: 11656"] Hi Jessica, I'm a final year medical student in Bulgaria (but I am from the UK) and I want to work in law as opposed to working as a doctor. I see all city firms have a standard minimum 2:1 classification. I also see UK universities for post graduate courses state that a 5 out of 6 in bulgaria is equivalent to a 2:1 and 6 out of 6 is equivalent to a 1st. However, getting an average 5 in my course is in the top 15 % of the year, unlike a 2:1 in the UK which is achieved by almost 60% of university students. Also, getting an average of 6 hasn't actually been accomplished in my course by any student over the years as of yet. In addition to this, a 2:1 means averaging 60% across 3 years whereas a 5 means averaging 80% across 6 years. My question is, would the law firms take this into account when applying? And also, would it be worth mentioning on the application where I ranked in the class? Thank you in advance for reading this post [/QUOTE]
