[QUOTE="RANDOTRON, post: 144724, member: 16724"] Hi there, thought I'd give my two-cents on this. Firstly, your law career hasn't ended – your grades are fine. Your extenuating circumstance does matter, so do mention it in your application. Secondly, please don't beat yourself up or count yourself out. If anything, believe in yourself. Grades are only one of many other factors that graduate recruitment take in account. As [USER=29743]@biglaworbust[/USER] said, delivering high quality application is far more important – really figure out what your story is for why you want to pursue a career in law. If you haven't already, I would also suggest you look to build out your resume by doing extracurricular activities (eg, commercial awareness competitions, student organisations, extra courses (eg, TCLA Academy)). This demonstrates your capabilities beyond academia, which will only make you a stronger candidate. Finally, you won't know what will happen until you try, or as the saying goes "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take". Perhaps [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] can give a better insight into this than I can. In any case, you can do this – I believe in you! 👍 [/QUOTE]
