Hi everyone!
I am new to the forum, but have really enjoyed reading the content published by the team and the community - it has already cleared up a few misconceptions I had about commercial law.
Just by way of background:
I have just finished my first year of my LLB at a non-RG university, finishing with a first (75%) with strong grades in all traditional-QLD modules. I am preparing for next year with a view to applying to vacation schemes at city firms. If I am honest, my university has not made any specific reference to what we should be doing career-wise in preparation for second year (perhaps due to COVID, not sure), so I am a little lost.
My main question, therefore, is will my low grades at A-Level (BBB) automatically exclude me from vac schemes despite good first year grades? I don't have extenuating circumstances, I was just silly and didn't work as hard as I should have, but I have changed my mindset completely at university. Will city firms view my 75% less favourably to a RG candidate with 65%?
Thanks!
