[QUOTE="Daniel Boden, post: 12782, member: 487"] Hey Josie, I have similar A-levels to you but am on for a solid 2.1 (so you beat me there haha) with excellent legal work experience and I got 3 interviews last year with Macfarlanes, Bird & Bird and Weil Gotshal & Manges (as a penultimate year non-law student in my first cycle) and got a vac scheme with Weil this summer despite my A-levels being below their minimum requirement so tbh I'd contact the firms you want to apply to and mention your circumstances and then see what they say. My work experience and overall application seemed to counteract my lower A-Levels so I'm sure the same will be for you! EDIT: It's about being sensible as some firms rely heavily on academics and others take a more holistic approach so it's about being selective and recognising which firms would be more receptive to your uni grades and work experience.
