Self-funded PGDL, got 0.75 points off a distinction. Am I screwed?

[QUOTE="hungry_for_TC, post: 165113, member: 18282"] I anticipate some comments saying I should be proud of myself for getting a 69.25 on the PDGL, but I feel like that's a bit condescending given that so many people get distinctions. I know for a fact that I was undergoing some personal circumstances (like facing a potential eviction notice) whilst taking exams that bumped my mark, but getting 69 on Company Law when I'm applying to corporate law firms really makes me feel like I should consider something else. I feel really quite depressed about my marks because I already felt self-conscious for self-funding, not having a TC, and now having to apply to TCs with this stain on my history. I feel like I am going to waste my time applying to some firms due to my PGDL score. This and I won't be able to go back to the UK for about 5 months because I'm visiting family in another region of the world, so it's not like I can get UK job experience ASAP to make up for it. I feel really anxious, unable to sleep, really disappointed, and like I'm past my prime.. I know I'm 24 and people can get TCs when they're 30 or 40 -- I just feel really bummed and need some advice as to whether or not I need to rejig my expectations. Thanks everyone in advance for reading this word vomit, really needed to get it out of my chest <3 [/QUOTE]
