Worried about my grades and Applications

[Adithi]

Hello, after an unsuccessful second year of applications, and a not so great second year grades I am a little bit worried and am looking for some advice,
For context these are my first year grades:
Tort- 76
Contract-70
EU Law- 68
UK Constitutional law- 63
Intro to English Law- 63
Individual and state- 56

My second year grades are:
Trusts- 72
Land-65
Public international-63
Criminal- 55
European Human Rights- 64
Legal Philosophy- 54 ( actually got 65 but grade was capped because uni didn’t take into consideration mitigating circumstances)

Even though I got an overall mid 2:1 I was wondering how much my grades would hinder me and if I wouldn’t apply to some law firms.

Additionally, I was wondering how much does law firms consider mitigating circumstances considering it was mental health issues in my case.

Thank you! ☺️

The important part here is that you received an overall 2:1,, and the 2:2 modules won't stop you from getting a training contract. I would just make sure you nail the other parts of your application. Firms will also factor in the mitigating circumstances you submit

Hi. Can I ask how you performed so well in Tort and EU law ? I am stuck on the border of a mid and high 2.1 but really need a first average this year as my first year grades weren't the best. I would appreciate any help!

Hi! I think the only thing I did for both those

hi! I think the only thing I did for those modules, well all my modules was creating a cheat sheet of all the information that I learned from the lectures and cases. Then it was easy to cross reference and make sure the information was in my head before taking my final exams! There wasn’t anything different or special that I did though. Hope this helps!
