[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 37780, member: 1160"] Hello there, I’m sorry to hear this is causing you some worry but believe me when I say, recruitment is far more contextualised now than it once was which means achievements can be assessed and appraised more fairly. Your grades are still good grades and so long as a firm doesn’t have minimum requirements, applications tend to be reviewed holistically. Many candidates have mitigating circumstances or had to work during their academic careers so these factors are all contextually looked at with the application as a whole. I think firms are making some great headway now in terms of understanding that not everyone has had the same access to opportunities and that may reflect in their attainment to a degree. If firms don’t have a minimum requirement don’t be put off from applying, your grades are not in any way bad and it’s just important to really celebrate and highlight your other achievements and the other elements to your candidacy which make you a well rounded and strong candidate for a firm. I hope this helps you in some way and offers you some encouragement. The only other advice I can give is to entreat you to engage with your too firms and maybe speak to HR about these concerns because they tend to be incredibly reassuring and might be able to give you some peace of mind by explaining their processes better.
