Your academic record won’t automatically disqualify you from firms like BCLP or CMS. While firms may sometimes look closely at applicant's performance in key modules like Contract or Tort, I think your improvement over time and strong LLM marks will help offset early weaker grades. I think what matters most now is how well you can present your experiences and motivations in a written application. This is especially important for firms like BCLP, where longer application form questions will give you the opportunity to demonstrate strong research, commercial awareness, and a clear interest in commercial law. As I'm sure you already appreciate, there’s also lots in your own background that you could successfully rely on to articulate/demonstrate a genuine interest in the profession (e.g. founding a law society, gaining international legal experience, paralegalling, volunteering, and balancing part-time work with running a business). Over the next few weeks, I'd encourage you to really reflect on how these experiences have shaped your interests and skills in a way that makes you well-suited to a career in commercial law.  So yes I think it’s worth applying! I'd now just focus on the quality of your applications and how well you tailor them to the firms you're targeting <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
