hi im currently in my 4th year at law school in india.in my 3rd year i was unable to clear my jurisprudence paper, and had to repeat the exam in my 4th year. i have now successfully cleared the paper in this term, also my aggregate otherwise at law school is 64%. would this stand against me if i was to apply to say queen mary or kings college? does having a back paper, which one clears only in the second attempt minus ones chances of getting admission in one of the premier colleges in UK?

you should be fine. it should not matter.

are you sure?i'm really nervous about it. and i've done well otherwise, just that my performance slipped in this semester!

I' think i'm best here to give u a direct answer....but don't feel uneasy reading this. I did my 3 yr LLB after 3 yr B.Com. Had 77% for B.Com and 62% for LLB. But I had to re-take 2 papers in the 1st Sem LLB i.e. legal language and jurisprudence....hence even though I did get 62% my degree awarded was only SECOND Class (Uni standard for FIRST is above 60). I applied this year after 2 years of work experience....got rejected from LSE yesterday....but got unconditional offers both from University of Nottingham (not Nottingham Trent) and University of Manchester. SO don't wurry....but don't get ur hopes too high on the First 3 - LSE,OX and Cam. Not that u'll be rejected straightaway...but chances are more. SO go ahead and apply straighaway...i thinks its already a lil late...all the best...its all bout CONFIDENCE. . . .
