[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 225803, member: 42112"] Hello! If the form asks for full academic history, then you've definitely done the right thing by disclosing the failed modules. Most firms won't automatically filter you out for early setbacks, especially when you've gone on to achieve an 89 in your LLB and a Distinction in your LLM - that is a very strong academic profile! If there's space, you can briefly explain the context (e.g. your initial course wasn't the right fit, so you switched to law and excelled). This shows growth and resilience, which a lot of firms will appreciate. There are some firms that do have stricter academic screening, so it's possible they may take the grades into account - however, your upward trajectory is a real positive, and plenty of firms will weigh that more than your lower grades in first-year. Best of luck with your applications! :) [/QUOTE]
