For context, I did law at one of these 3 universities: LSE/UCL/KCL; I also achieved As + A*s at GCSE and sixth-form.In my first year at university, I had two poor module marks (all my first year exams were taken under mitigating circumstances), meaning that my first year average was, unfortunately, lower than I'd have liked (and lower than most firms would say is their minimum requirement). Thankfully, my circumstances then improved, and in my second & third years, I achieved 2:1s and firsts across all modules. Since then, I graduated with a first-class degree and am currently working full-time in-house at a MNC.I'd love to know the extent to which I'd be a competitive candidate, given my poor first-year grades. I'm aware that firms like Reed Smith are inundated with high-performing applicants, and I wonder whether I'm likely to be filtered out in the early stages due to my lacklustre first year.I'd really appreciate your thoughts; thank you so much!</blockquote>
