[QUOTE="Joshua08, post: 147015, member: 29859"] Hi all, I just graduated from a RG University with a low 2.1 overall in history and politics. I worked as an estate agent during the second half of my second year and the first half of my third year. Since this February, I have been working at a top 35 firm as an admin in the commercial real estate team. My role mainly involves file openings/payment transfers/conflict checks, but I have also had quite a bit of client contact, such as hand-delivering documents to the client/calling them/assisting with completion work, such as calling the other side solicitors to date documents. Recently I've been entrusted with the client reports for our team - which involves creating a monthly report of our matters and making sure that all the details are correct before sending it to the client. I begin my PGDL (Master) at BPP on a part-time basis so that I can work full-time at the firm. I have also done loads of virtual work experience on Forage. I have a strong interest in two firms - Addleshaw Goddard and Pinsent Masons, so i'll be applying for the 2026 TC for both. Just a bit of background, I got pretty average GCSEs (4s-6s), and I got A*ACC in my A-levels with a B in my EPQ; however I'm worried that my low 2.1 isn't good enough. Would my experience in real estate help me stand out as an applicant? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
