[QUOTE="Logan1101, post: 145223, member: 23666"] I achieved 66% in my first year studying law and my second-year average is 59.4%. I am really worried that firms would think I would not be able to achieve a good 2.1 because of this, since some top firms want 65%+ which is why I think I got a lot of VS interviews in my first year. Are my grades too poor for TC applications? I don't really have mitigating circumstances and the reason I did so poorly is because I kept applying for so many schemes this year which shifted my focus from exams. edit: I thought I should post my grades in full to provide a better picture First Year: [LIST] [*]Tort Law - 73% [*]Public Law -71% [*]Law & Legal Theory - 64% [*]Contract Law - 57% :( [/LIST] Second year: [LIST] [*]EU Law - 64% [*]Advanced Tort -61% [*]Criminal Law -61% [*]Land Law - 56% :( [*]Personal Property -55% :( [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
