[QUOTE="laurenn42, post: 185208, member: 25162"] Hi! I would like to preface that overall I did achieve a 2:1 at undergraduate from a very good RG in Accounting and Finance. However, I will provide my grade breakdown and it will immediately become apparent how much my grades fluctuated, much more than the average person's would. The reason for this post is that I have been attending a lot of events with different firms and two firms including Travers Smith and Willkie have stressed the importance of consistent undergraduate results. Willkie in particular takes undergraduate results into account much more than postgraduate. I have completed the PGDL, the results of which I have also disclosed. This is honestly kind of distressing because I feel like I am going to be discounted immediately because of the level of fluctuation in my grades. Does anyone have any insight into firms which have said either similar or have made contrary statements to Willkie etc, or does anyone have any advice on what to do. [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] I feel like you would be able to offer valuable insight as well. I do not want a sugarcoated answer if I'm honest, I need someone to be completely truthful about my prospects based solely on my grades.
