Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 220604" data-attributes="member: 36777">Hi [USER=42756]@FutureLawyer1[/USER] generally firms do not place that much emphasis on first year grades, as recruiters are well-aware that different people adapt to university life at different pace; and thus know that the first set of results is not the most representative of one's general academic ability. Furthermore, an overall first is a really impressive result, and in the context of low initial grades also shows amazing resilience and progress. As such, I doubt there are many firms that would not look past any preference for 2.1s in every module in this context. An overall first meets even the high threshold of the historically very grade-focused firms (such as Slaughters, Cleary, and Davis Polk). In any case, I cannot imagine how your academic record would be an issue with all but one or two exceptionally stringent firms, so I do not think this is something that should affect your application strategy too much.</blockquote>
