Are my grades strong enough for the Magic Circle/first year schemes?

Hi all,

Managed to get A*AB and gotten into Nottingham for Law so obviously very happy.

I’ve read though how competitive law is, especially for the top firms and the MC so al now worried my grades won’t be competitive enough compared to other applicants, especially with a B.

Will I have to do lots more to make myself stand out?
Well done on getting those grades! From what I’ve seen it wont make a massive difference where you have to worry about over compensating for it. I would advise to get involved with your law soceity as much as you can and be active in vacation scheme and insight day applications. That should good you a good chance with top firms, good luck!
