What is it that sets you apart from other candidates? The likelihood is that the majority of applicants are going to have good grades so you need to consider any extra-curricular or personal achievements/interests which make you the best candidate. Maybe you're part of a debate society, maybe you've taken on an EPQ discussing an aspect of the law, or maybe you have completed some work experience which gives you the confidence to know that becoming a solicitor is the right path for you. Whatever it is, make sure that it stands out on your application and that wherever possible you talk about the skills and experiences you've gained from it. Don't be afraid to show off!
