[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 184687, member: 2672"] It will really depend on how many is "quite a few" and when they were. If it is just 3 or so, it will be less of an issue. If you really mean 2-3 per year, it will be more of an issue. If your lower grades are predominately in your first year, and you have then showed a consistent upward trajectory since then with the rest of your grades, it will be less of an issue than if they are spread out across all years of study. There are hundreds of "city" firms though and not all of them will be so focused on academics. If you are just talking about US or MC firms which will be a very small fraction of the number of city firms, it may be more of an issue. However, I have recruited enough people with non-stellar academics to know it is still possible to obtain TCs at this firm, you just typically need to show you have excelled elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
