Hi everyone,

I'm a second year student at UCL doing a humanities subject, and I'm slightly worried about some of my module grades. My first year average was a first, with some high firsts but also a 59. This year I had a rough term 1, albeit with some mitigating circumstances, ending up with one 57 and a 65 average. I have strong A-Levels and decent results in essay competitions. My concern, then, is being auto-rejected on VCs for those two 2.2 marks. Top firms have so many applicants that this sounds at least plausible to me.

Do you think I should be worried in general? And do any firms spring to mind that may auto-reject on these grounds?

Thanks!

I don’t think any firm would reject you on the basis of those two grades alone , especially if the second year one has mitigating circumstances attached to it.
