[QUOTE="carys09, post: 201619, member: 38537"] I'm in third year currently and my advice would be to prioritise grades over anything else because you only have one shot to get good grades at uni whereas you can always re-apply once you graduate. While you don't need firsts in every module to get a TC I do think it helps and it's the one thing you can't improve on once you graduate. It may seem like getting a TC is the be all and end all but its really not and you will always have time as its not like these firms are going anywhere. I'm not saying you shouldn't re-apply but just don't let it consume you and try to make the most out the time you have left at uni I would also recommend going back to look over your unsuccessful apps again and having others look over them as well to try and figure out where you might have tripped up and how to improve for next year. And most importantly remember that it is very rare to get a TC on your first attempt so try not to let this deter you. It can be very demoralising being rejected but it in no way means that you don't have the potential to be a great lawyer. For many, applications can be a process of trial and error, especially when you don't have connections to guide you through the process. [/QUOTE]
