Low grades in two-three subjects, primarily as those Profs are generally known for marking low in my University. Should I explain this in my TC App?

[QUOTE="born&raised, post: 92754, member: 18207"] Hello! :D I am an international student currently studying a law degree outside UK. I was planning to apply for TC Apps in my final year. While I have decent academics throughout (marks equivalent to 2:1 in most subjects), there are a couple subjects where I have gotten marks in the range of 40-50. While there are a few people who have scored better of course, the reason for these low grades is primarily that the teachers of those subjects are known to mark very stringently- more than 50 percent of the class received marks in the range of 40-50 in those subjects. However, barring these couple of subjects, I have scored between 65-70 in most subjects. My overall percentage would come to 2:1. Should I explain this reason somewhere in my applications? With this academic record, are there any firms I should avoid applying to? Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
