[QUOTE="AK105, post: 145897, member: 11332"] I supposed so my grades only increased slowly over the years. I got 56% in first year with one third and majority 2:2s in that year. I got 62% in second year with one module as a third and many 2:2s in that year. I got 65% in third year with 2 modules that were 2:2s and 68-69% in my final year, with an overall degree result of 66%. Although most of the modules in my degree were squeezed in 1st and 2nd year, and I had much fewer modules in third and fourth year, so my modular grades looked awful and I was literally rejected from every law firm I applied to despite having the best written application answers ever. If OP’s academic progression turns out to be slow like mine would he still have a chance with city law firms. Basically does the OP now have to get a 2:1 in every single module from this point onwards to have a chance in City Law? I feel like that would also be important information for them to know. I definitely wish someone gave me this clarity when I was going through uni. [/QUOTE]
