[QUOTE="Lisa Lowe, post: 112034, member: 3919"] You’ve got a decent 2.1, first in GDL and you can still get a distinction in the LPC - you have proven yourself academically. I don’t think failing these relatively small exams will hugely impact your applications - although Im definitely no grad rec expert. But I know trainees who have got 2.2s in their undergrad and a trainee who had to resit a LPC module. Also, a lot of City firms just require their trainees to get a pass grade. The fact that these three exams were sat together will surely make it easier for you to address/explain in interviews - you made the error of concentrating too much on VS apps. I know the advice above is to do the SQE, but I’m guessing if you drop out of the LPC now, you’ll still have to pay the fees - which isn’t ideal. For the next couple of months, I would just concentrate on getting decent results in the upcoming electives and passing the resits. You’ve still got time to get a really good grade on the LPC - try not to loose sight of that. Regarding changing modules to appeal to a smaller firm, I would just follow the modules you’re most likely to find interesting/do well in. If you didn’t find wills interesting, you’re probably not got to enjoy private client etc. [/QUOTE]
