    I just did the Osborne Clarke test, but it crashed half way through - it literally just refused to move me onto the next question. I tried it again, and it crashed again. I have now tried to complete it a third term and was told I can't... I have emailed Grad Recruitment. Anyone else had this issue?

    Oxbridge student rejected from every MC and US firm vac scheme I applied to

    Thanks for the advice - I think getting a mentor will help as if you are right and there are issues with my applications other than grades hopefully they can spot them
