[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 116958, member: 2672"] My advice might be slightly different to what you might expect. I would actually focus more on your academics and maybe step back your extra curricular activity to ensure you can do well in your degree. If you do well in your final year your degree your first year results become less important. But it’s like a set of scales, you need to counter balance them with good grades and the stronger your final year grades, the more you are counter balancing them. Rather than me saying what you could achieve (which ultimately still is 99% of entry level legal roles), it would be useful to understand what you are hoping to get into and then I can advise if they might fall into the 1%. However, even then if stress that there is no one route to obtaining your legal career. It may just mean you come to things slightly later - consider it a bit like someone with strong first year grades has a year of evidence more than you have. You may just need to work at developing your profile for another year or so to demonstrate the skills/evidence needed. [/QUOTE]
