[QUOTE="Sulaiman, post: 179733, member: 35766"] Thank you very much for the honesty. I was genuinely very uncertain as to what I could possibly do in my position and had been debating taking the resit so that my average would be up to a 2:1, even if barely crossing the threshold - 67.1%, 53%, 55%, 55% 77.17%, 47%. I am still curious though, if I resat and bumped my average to a 2.1 or above, would this put me back into the running for those aforementioned firms? Or would they notice that I had to resit and that would put me out of the competition? I suppose that is a fruitless endeavour and that I should focus on my health and grades from this point onwards, as you've stated. Still, I am quite gutted that I've taken myself out of the race for the top firms due to things like crippling mental health issues but I suppose I should turn my focus to next year rather than continue dwelling as there is little to be done to salvage those opportunities besides networking and the likes, or so I'd assume. Thanks once again. [/QUOTE]
