Ask A Graduate Recruiter Anything!
Hi Jessica, I'm a 2nd year law undergraduate going into 3rd, and I would like to apply for vac scheme/Training contracts in my 3rd year. Although I have relevant extra-curricular activities, I've got an average of 59% for my second year. I most likely would graduate with a 2.1 as the weightage...- E.TX
