[QUOTE="SouffléSouffléSoufflé, post: 29603, member: 5379"] As others have said on this forum, it is really firm dependent. I went through a really tough period in my second year of university, and this impacted my grades for a couple of my exams. It's never been explicitly brought up when I have gone to interview, but I have chosen to bring it up as a positive. I worked hard in my final year and achieved a first in all but one exam, with the non-first grade being 1% off a first. In this cycle of applications I have been asked more than once about an example of when I have displayed tenacity, or when I have exceeded expectations. I have used my experience as an example of how I worked hard, and learnt from my mistakes. Best of luck with your applications :) [/QUOTE]
