[QUOTE="Changes, post: 186323, member: 4554"] TC/VS applications: which firms are especially strict on academics? Which firms are particularly strict on academics? I have heard Slaughter and May are and a number of US firms (don’t plan to apply to US firms in any case). Are there others? I graduated with a 2.1 (non-law) from a Russell Group uni averaging 65 but my first year I averaged 59, 2nd year 60 (iirc) and final year 68. No provable mitigating circumstances though there were some in first year but I was mostly just out to have a good time before knuckling down once I’d secured an internship in second year. I also have a merit for a recent postgraduate certificate in economics, not that it means much (dropped out of the masters at the halfway point after the regulatory econ module as it reignited my interest in a legal career), which I studied part-time alongside work. A-levels all good (AAA). I’m a career changer (10+ years experience in central government) and interested in commercial law in London. Advice on firms to avoid based on that much appreciated. Thanks.
