    I know that you cannot reapply for the VS if you have been rejected so I would assume that this would also cover TCs. Perhaps worth emailing grad recruitment if you feel your circumstances have changed.

    I completely understand as someone who has worked hard in other years to get good grades that this might seem unfair but I just think in the current circumstances doing it differently is just not realistic. Especially combined with the fact that lots of teaching has been missed this year due to...

    Oh my goodness this has really worried me. I am now looking at my transcript and we did an introduction course that was pass/fail (which I did pass). I realise that I haven't included this in my applications - should I be emailing firms to tell them this?

    Also those two years work experience can be divided between firms/areas etc. May be beneficial to some but could potentially be problems if firms use this as an opportunity to give out unpaid work experience as an example

    If I wrote in my cover letter that I was applying for a summer vacation scheme but ticked the spring vacation scheme option on my form, they are considering me for spring right?
