[QUOTE="gsrkhan, post: 213285, member: 40979"] Hello! I recently received all my second year grades back, and was worried whether any would potentially hinder me from applying to MS/SC etc firm's I achieved 69s in (eu module and technology in the law module), and 65 (tort, land) I also however achieved a 59 in equity. In oct/Nov of 2nd year I also applied to 7 VS's, with help from a dei recruitment organisation and was not able to achieve any, maybe because of the contract 2.2 in first year? In first year I achieved 74 (public and policy), 70 (practical legal skills) 63 (criminal law), and 53 (contract law) I also did a spring scheme at one of the magic circle firms (slaughters) and have visited 3/5 MS firms for open days, and brand ambassadored for one as well, I was interested particularly in slaughters especially after the spring scheme, but I know they are focused on grades, would one high 2.2 be enough to deter? What about the other ms/sc's? As for extrcurriculars I have done 4 mini pupillages, advocacy training, sports, own a business, have done one week work experience with a top northern law firm in the property and real estate, and am involved in the law clinic, citizens advice and social mobility organisations as well as an ethnicity based organisation focused on education of children I am hoping my Extracurriculars will help with applications, but am worried the higher tier law firms might reject my applications once third Yr begins because of the 2.2 Thank you in advance Gura [/QUOTE]
