[QUOTE="mark34, post: 194089, member: 24238"] Hi everyone, I am a final year law student at a university like Warwick/Manchester/Nottingham. My grades so far are low 2.2s in contact and tort, high 2.2s in employment law, land law, low 2.1s in criminal and legal theory, high 2.1 in public law and a first in another module. I also have A*A*A*A at A level My grades work out to: Y1 58 Y2 60 I have mitigating circumstances for both years. I also did an exchange year but it was pass/fail. My experience so far includes spring weeks in IB, open days at law firms from national to us firms, first year program with a international law firm, audit work experience at big 4 (I’ve got the graduate offer starting in 2025). I am looking to apply to vacation schemes after I graduate in 2025 and hopefully bring my average up to around 64-67. My questions are: 1)Would I held back by my lower grades in first and second year? Despite my mitigating circumstances 2)how would my experience in other areas like audit affect me? Would it be positive in the fact that I am building soft skills and interacting with listed clients? Or would it be seen negatively as it is not directly legal? The list of firms I am considering are: [LIST=1] [*]Freshfields [*]Linklaters [*]Ashurst [*]Simons & Simons [*]BCLP [*]Mayer brown [*]Macfarlanes [*]Travers smith [*]Herbert smith freehills [*]Reed smith [*]Jones day [*]White and case [*]Winston strawn [*]Hogan lovells [*]A&O Sherman [/LIST] I am aiming to narrow down this list but it’s just a rough guide for now.
