[QUOTE="ComershLawWannabe, post: 113592, member: 22352"] Hi, To skip to the point, I did terribly in my A-Levels. I achieved CDD. At the time I was going through quite a rough patch and was in somewhat of an emotionally abusive situation. However, I recognise that I am responsible for my own learning and achievements and understand that there is no one else to blame. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances, I didn't submit any kind of concession or try and argue that my grades were affected due to 'mitigating circumstances'. I achieved a 2:1 at Uni (64%) and am currently enrolled on an LPC LLM course. I'm finding it difficult as I don't have the exception of mitigating circumstances. All firms will see are bad grades with no explanation. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to detract attention away from my grades? I have work experience and currently work for a Top 100 law firm but all TC applications are viewed blindly so this won't make any difference to my application. Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
