Hi! I was just wondering what law firms think of a low 2:1 (with one module 2:2). This will be my second cycle applying and I am scared because my second year grades were much lower than I expected and  lower than my first year grades and I feel like I ruined my chances this year. I don’t believe I have any mitigating circumstances too so that’s why I’m worried (if I had to state a reason, I think it was mostly my university changing format to a more time constrained one but keeping expectations high (statistically, like in my 2:2 module my year got the lowest average mark in the last 5 years etc) and for one of the module it was my first closed book in person exam since early 2019). I go to a top Russell group university if that changes anything? I’m just worried for my chances this year, and while I could apply only after I graduate I’m an international student so it might not be preferable. Just wanted to know your thoughts on this 😅
