[QUOTE="Meghna, post: 207279, member: 38726"] I am a final year law student. In my second year I got consistent firsts finishing with a year average of 75. In third year, I have been struggling in 2 modules. Whilst I am sure of a first in 2 or 3 modules, I am realistically expecting a low to mid 2:1 in a 30 credit and 15 credit module. I have had some health issues that have impacted me a bit this term but honestly the lower grades are largely due to the fact that I am struggling with the module content despite asking for help. I know that law firms expect consistency. Are firms going to be critical of this, given the drop from straight firsts to low 2:1’s without a hugely significant reason, if I have to reapply to VS and TC’s next year? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
