[QUOTE="tinu08047, post: 222502, member: 33661"] Hi All, I have a question about structuring mitigating circumstances on VS applications. I have generally good grades and graduated with a 1st but got a low 2:2 in law of trusts. I know a few firms want a 2:1 across all modules but will take account of mitigating circumstances. Would the following be an okay structure or do I need to go into more detail? "In the final year of my undergraduate degree, my ... immediately prior to the summer examination period. This had a material and adverse effect on my focus, mental health and final results." I did get an EC when this happened so only really had Law of Trusts affected as it was my first exam. I did generally well on all my other modules so would that weaken my credibility at all? [/QUOTE]
