Mid A-levels but i want to go into corporate law
Hi everyone,
I have quite mid alevels of BBC but this is due to mitigating circumstances that I had too go through at the time of my exams which affected me drastically. i have good set of gcses basically straight As which shows that i usually have a good work ethic. I am also going to be studying at KCL and wanted to ask if i still have a good chance of breaking into corporate law? I've always wanted to go into this but feel that my results will bring me down and I won't be able to apply anywhere even considering i have mitigating circumstances. please let me know your opinions thanks

I think you should check with others doing corporate law (there might be some on tsr you could private chat) - but i dont see why your results would bring you down! Your gcses are good and you still have 2 Bs in your a levels which is still good personally. You also have mitigating circumstances so you have proof that your a level grades are not the best you could have achieved so i wouldnt worry too much!

Also KCL is a pretigous uni which would already put you in a good position.

Honestly you will be fine especially with KCL.
If I was you make sure you network, take as many opportunities as you can.

Apply for internships and vacation schemes.

Apply to be an ambassador.
•
Find ways to be unique and stand out to the firm (you would be seen as a investment worthwhile).

You will need to make your extenuating circumstances clear otherwise leading law firms will not look at you. A Levels are an important consideration for recruitment, as are your first degree results.
