I need some advice

[chirag12]

Hi,
I want to start applying to law firms after the summer. As I do not have the minimum A-level requirement (ABB) for lots of top law firms, I will only apply to the law firms where I meet the A-level requirements such as DLA Piper, Clifford Chance etc. I got a BCC.

If I can not claim mitigating circumstances for my A-level results, how much will it affect my application for the law firms where I meet the A-level requirements? I am currently predicted an upper 2:1/first for my LLB law degree. I'm trying to get as much legal experience as possible. Im not sure if I can claim mitigating circumstances as during my A levels I had family problems but did not disclose this to anyone so I have no evidence.

Any advice would be helpful .

Hi - from what I read on other threads, if you apply to firms where you meet A-level requirements and you seem to have good grades at university too, you should be fine. Just make sure to thoroughly prepare the written answers and good luck for your applications!
