[QUOTE="futuretraineesolicitor, post: 96477, member: 4098"] Hey. Not Jessica but based on what I've researched about the process, almost none of the firms assess your GCSEs. I don't know if you should claim the circumstances or not but no decisions would be taken on your GCSEs alone, plus your A-levels are fantastic so I don't think you need to worry. Personal story here but I was unable to add my A-levels and GCSEs to my Linklaters application because of some technical glitch in their application portal. So, I emailed the grad rec team telling them that I could do it manually if they want and they said that it won't make a difference. Just to quote,[B] "Please note that the 14-16 and 16-18 exams sections are not mandatory. In case we need this information, we would request it at a later stage."[/B] They didn't even ask for my A-levels which is kind of surprising but this just goes to show that poor GCSEs should not be a roadblock. Anyway, I'm still a student and could be wrong here so if anyone thinks I'm wrong, please clarify. [/QUOTE]
