I go to University of Aberdeen and my average for this year is 77.8% (high 2:1 at my institution). My first year grades are 1:1, 1:1, 1:1, 1:1, 2:1, 2:1, 2:2, 2:2. I am worried that these 2:2 (69% both respectably and less than a mark off a 2:1) will hinder me. I will also like to note my best grade is a 1st in contract law at 87%. For reference my degree is 4 years and I can only apply for first year schemes this coming year and the type of firms I'm going for are outside the silver or magic circle (like CMS, Addleshaw Goddard, Pinsents, BCLP). I would like to also add I have had very very good work experience this year alone: Dyson in house legal counsel internship, 1 week at Royal Courts of Justice in Belfast and confirmed royal courts of justice London with an Immigration Judge. I have a very wide range of extracurriculars (orchestras, sports, societies) and have even co founded my universities commercial negotiation society.
