[QUOTE="floral.tcla, post: 213822, member: 36353"] Hi TCLA! I just wanted to ask for your thoughts on my situation -- I study at Cambridge and I unfortunately received some disappointing grades and it seems very unlikely that an appeal would be successful. I have extenuating circumstances. Before I received my grades, I was hoping to apply for MC/SC/national firms' winter vacation schemes (as I'm heading into my final year of my non-law humanities degree and thought it wise to know one way or another whether I have a TC by this point, to then compartmentalise and lock in on exams completely), but I got 59,58, 65,65 in second year, and 60-64 in first year. How would my grades be perceived even by firms like Dentons who are relatively less focussed on grades? Should I even bother making applications to any firm in my final year and just focus entirely on grades instead, considering there's so much competition? For some context, I have a lot of extra-curriculars/positions of responsibility, a part-time job, fluent in a European language, and a few internships (in partnerships with social mobility organisations) from first year but no internships in second year. Thank you in advance. [/QUOTE]
