Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mara" data-source="post: 217513" data-attributes="member: 29753">Has anyone had mitigating circumstances taken into account with decent law firms?I have A*A*B, went to a good RG, and graduated with a 2:1 but my second year grades are all 56-58 averages because my dad passed suddenly, and it was during the Covid pandemic so I couldn't go home until like 2 years later, after I graduated, because of border closures (international student). There is no way I could have done well and my third year grades went up but nothing drastic, just good enough for me to get a 2:1. I have so many prestigious and impressive extracurriculars (won competitions, president of societies, did work with international organisations) but I'm still getting automatic rejections from everything I apply to ):I did have an interview with a US law firm last year but that's it. I'm just not sure if its my grades holding me back (which I'm certain it must be but then again I did get that one interview) but if that's the case then that means that my mitigating circumstances aren't enough? Has anyone dealt with anything similar?</blockquote>
