Most firms ask for an end-of-year 2:1 average as opposed to a 2:1 in every module. A handful of firms like HSF and Linklaters expect a 2:1 across all modules but consider EC/MC. 😅

There are also some firms that expect a strong (64-66%) or high (67-69%) 2:1 average, such as Slaughters, SullCrom, Cleary Gottlieb, Jones Day and Willkie. You have a high 2:1 (68%). 🙂

Therefore, for virtually every firm you are good to go. They might ask you about the criminal law mark (45%) at interview, but it’s not going to impact your chances of getting a VS.

Contract and Tort law are the most important modules for city law firms. Seeing you got 70% in Contract, I think you should be fine. It might be good to contact firms in Sept to clarify. 🙂

The important thing will be ensuring that other parts of your VS applications (work experience, extracurricular activities, answers to questions on the application form, etc) are strong. 👌🏾

Firms would look at everything holistically and one ‘low’ mark won’t automatically mean that you don’t have a chance of getting a VS. Best of luck with all your VS applications! 🐐 </blockquote>
