[QUOTE="EastSatsuma57, post: 178488, member: 35244"] Hi guys hope you are all well, I am new to this forum so I apologise if a question along the same lines has already been posted here! I am a PPE student just finishing second year and I have failed an econometrics module worth 20 credits so will be resitting it in the summer. Aside from this my lowest grade this year has been a 70 and I'm doing well enough that I think I can still come out with a high 2.1 for the year and maybe even a first. Obviously I believe I can still get a first overall in my final year, I am wondering if this failed module would be a problem when applying to vac schemes/TC's? I understand some firms are more stringent than others, which firms are these? Or is there a list somewhere of places I should definitely avoid applying to? Tangentially related to this is what can I be doing this year to make my application as comprehensive as possible? I have only recently begun to consider law as something I'd enjoy and be good at so I worry I am a bit behind. I am at university of Manchester so I plan to join the law society in the new academic year, aside from this what should I be doing? Any things with "low barriers to entry" that I could get into without being a law student? I already volunteer at unrelated things and have done since first year but I'm unsure how I could relate it to law, and I have a part time job but again it is only hospitality work. Thanks everyone! Looking forward to hearing from you all :) [/QUOTE]
