Overall 2:1 but inconsistent modules? Magic Circle out of the question?

[QUOTE="Katie_H_22, post: 131239, member: 27373"] I was hoping to secure a TC at either a Magic Circle, Silver Circle or possibly a US firm (perhaps the latter will be a bit out of reach for me). I graduated in modern languages from Oxbridge (don't want to say which; want to remain fairly anonymous). In my first year, I secured a first and won a prize, but in the other two years of my degree, I got a 2:1 average (65 or 66), but with inconsistent module marks, like this: 68 64 78 55 50 The lower marks were in Italian oral and translation exams. My final degree class was 2:1 (65.7), with one high first module. Would I still be a viable candidate for a Magic Circle or US TC? I know that some of the toughest US firms (e.g. Cleary) would probably be out of the question. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
