[QUOTE="albertloren, post: 226574, member: 43351"] I wouldn’t overthink a single lower mark, especially when your overall average is still strong. Recruiters at MC/US firms always look at the full academic profile, not one “outlier” module. A 2:2 or even a 3rd in a single component usually matters far less than consistency, commercial awareness, and how well you can explain the context behind the grade. If you genuinely feel the mark doesn’t reflect the quality of your work, then it’s absolutely fair to challenge it or request clarification. A lot of students don’t realize how normal grade discrepancies are, especially with dissertations or research-heavy modules. During my final year, I also had to ask for feedback and support on structuring arguments, something similar to this [URL='https://www.apexessays.com/law-dissertation-help/']law dissertation help[/URL] approach I used here, and the clarity I got from understanding where I went wrong made a big difference in later applications. The key point is: one bad module doesn’t erase your potential. If the overall trajectory is solid (which it is in your case), firms will still take your application seriously. Focus on the bigger picture and make sure your applications highlight your strengths, not the one mark that dipped. [/QUOTE]
