[QUOTE="GGLove, post: 1266, member: 190"] Hi everyone, Over the summer, I did two vacation schemes, one at an MC firm, the other at a regional firm's London office. I got rejected from the MC's scheme, and the regional firm is not one that I feel particularly strongly about (the firm was quiet, nice, unexceptional, and left me feeling a bit dead inside). I see myself turning that firm down. I therefore wanted to ask you guys a couple of questions about re-applying, if that's okay: - [B]Will the fact that I did two schemes count against me when I reapply in third year?
