[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 722, member: 1"] [CENTER][B][U]Question 5: How important are uni grades at top firms? I didn't do so well in my first year, but looking at LinkedIn, I see trainees with first class grades and A* at A-Level. [/U][/B][/CENTER] It’s a barrier, but it’s not detrimental. Grades are just one factor of many in an application. Sure, at some firms they may have more weight, but even then you should be able to make up for it if the rest of your application is good (unless they are far from what is expected). I’d suggest avoiding LinkedIn profiles. The candidates with top grades are more likely to list them on their profile. A friend of mine got a third in his first year and starts at Linklaters in September, but he’s not going to be posting those grades on LinkedIn. [/QUOTE]
