[QUOTE="coldmilc, post: 150039, member: 23601"] Hi, I am an incoming year 3 law student (final year) at a Russell Group uni in London. I received my module grades recently and my grades overall were fairly okay, as I averaged a 66 (compared with a 62.75 in first year). However, I have a really poor 2.1 in my contract law module and only scrapped a first in one module. All my grades are 2.1 though. I just realised I am pretty poor with timed tests (whereas I do really well with coursework which unfortunately has a way smaller weighting in exams) which does drag my score down. Currently, I am aiming for MC (particularly A&O) and US firms (Skadden, Davis Polk etc.). Do you think I have a shot with these firms or am I being too ambitious? Seeing that most of my alumni in these firms either having awards for being top scorers in their cohort / have completed the Oxford BCL, it does make me feel a lot more anxious to apply. Sorry, I know this has been asked so many times before already but I just want an honest opinion on this! For further information, I don't have any mitigating circumstances besides completing my first year during the pandemic. I do have really strong ECs (leadership position in school societies + mooting experience) if that helps. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
