How important are grades to get into the big four? I've completely flunked in law, tax law, IFRS, auditing (dont know what these courses are called in anglo countries), but I'm confident if I take them again I'll get at least a C in all of them so I can get the registered/chartered accountant whatever you guys call it. But all of my other grades are... poor. I have a few Bs and Cs, but mostly Ds or Es. But they're shitty periferal fields like marketing and stuff which I dont give a crap about.

I know this is asked much and I tried to google it, but I cant get a sensible answer since it seems to vary a lot from country to country. For example the interview process is a lot harder in the UK than it is here in scandinavia from what I gather. Also there's a lot of contradictory stuff, some say they're very strict, some say they've loosened up in the past couple of years, and some say they dont even look at your degree when they consider you (it's only important that you've passed).

So what are your experiences? I need a wake-up call/reassurance, since I feel completely lost and confused and my depression is slowly creeping back again. My teacher today told us that grades aren't that important, but whether or not you learn something and can take something away with you after you're finished, and I almost started weeping since I've done nothing with my time at uni. No relevant work/positions or extracurricular activity. My teacher said today that the important thing isnt whether I get good grades or not, but if you learn something after you're finished. I almost started crying in class.
