[QUOTE="AJ, post: 2828, member: 543"] Probably saying something we all already know, but, this is a fiercely competitive process! It can be demoralising, depressing and soul destroying, if you let it. All you, I or anyone applying during this process can do is to keep going and not let concern or anxiety act as a barrier - easier said than done, I know. There are enough barriers already! Yes grades matter. More so earlier on than if you’ve completed degree, gdl, lpc and have good work exp to compensate. Yes some firms still use stupidddddddddddddd filters or grounds to reject. I’m sure some Partners in the current climate wouldn’t get in to their firms! But what’s stopping you from applying. Apply you might get rejected , but there’s just a tiny chance you progress. Don’t apply, there not even a 0.00001% chance of any success. Manage your expectations, apply with your eyes open and potential likelihood of success. Consider the potential effort required for the application compared to potential success. Having said all of the above, personally, given my own less than perfect grades I wouldn’t apply to the firms already mentioned lol [/QUOTE]
