[QUOTE="R Cross, post: 17124, member: 4180"] I was just wondering how much weight recruiters put on academic results. In my first year I got 32 in a module as I stupidly missed an exam that made up half the marks. Thankfully, first year didn’t count towards my history degree so I was fortunate enough to still be able to achieve a 1st overall from a decent RG university. I was just wondering if this would be a massive red flag when people come to read my application. (The rest of my first year marks were low 2:1s but as a result of that one module I got a low 2:2 overall). Also, during my GDL I got a low commendation with some fairly awful marks in certain areas (50 in contract and Con and Ad). I’m currently finding it hard to motivate myself to do vacation scheme applications as I feel that the results above will ensure anything I submit won’t be taken very seriously. Any clarification on this would be much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
