[QUOTE="AK105, post: 78780, member: 11332"] Hello everyone, I am in dire need of guidance. I used to think my module marks were high because I go to university in Scotland, and I converted my letter grades to percentages. However, I have to put my letter grades as they are on applications. I am pursuing a 4 year law degree, and I am reaching the end of my second year. My A levels were BBC due to mitigating circumstances, and my first year marks were a high 2.2. In second year I secured a low 2.1. However, most of my modules are below a 2.1. In my second year, I have made a fundamental mistake in all of my essays, which lowered my marks significantly, and it is very frustrating. I do not know whether my low 2.1 in second year will enable me to apply for vacation schemes. I do not know how to spend my summers productively. The next two years I have to nail a first class degree, and get consistent good marks.I really am confused on what steps to take and would throughly appreciate guidance. I already know what to do when it comes to academics, because it goes without saying I need better grades. However, how do I enhance my skills over the summers, because I can’t apply for vacation schemes due to my academics, and there are only immigration law firms in my area. I am keen on a career in commercial law, but I am no longer focused on city law, because that is near impossible for me. [/QUOTE]
