[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 213087, member: 36738"] Hi [USER=40939]@lalaboppbopp[/USER] I really just want to emphasise something that I've said many times on the forum: one or two module results are highly [I]unlikely [/I]to be a deal breaker for magic circle or US firm. This is perhaps especially true in your case, given how well you did overall in your degree. If you think there are any mitigating circumstances that can explain why the dissertation mark was generally lower than your other module results, then feel free to flag those in your application form. However, I would[I] not [/I]use the result on this as a reason to self-exclude or not apply to such firms. So many great candidates assume they don’t stand a chance because of a few module results, when that’s not necessarily true. Please [I]do [/I]apply to MC and US firms! Best of luck with your applications! [/QUOTE]
