I have two questions ahead of this application cycle.I completed my undergraduate law degree at a Russell Group university, but my grades weren’t the strongest, I graduated with a 2.1 overall, with extenuating circumstances. I know firms usually require at least a 2.1, but also look at individual module grades. I’m also aware that some firms, such as Slaughter and May, are particularly strict on academics, so I don’t plan to apply there. What would you recommend my strategy be? Do you think I still have a chance with some Magic Circle or Silver Circle firms, or should I contact graduate recruitment directly?My second question is about my experience. I’ve worked in strategy consulting for three years since graduating, and I’ve now decided to return to law - I’m starting my SQE LLM course in two weeks’ time. Would it make sense for me to apply directly for training contracts given my work experience (which includes a number of due diligence projects and many transferable skills), or should I still apply for vacation schemes since my legal experience is limited (just two months of internships at law firms during university, about five years ago)?Thanks so much, and best of luck to everyone applying this year!</blockquote>
