[QUOTE="jess889, post: 1268, member: 7"] I was in a similar position to you last year. I did two vacation schemes, although I was rejected by both for a training contract. On the whole, I think that has helped a lot for this year. I get the impression, law firms take me as a more credible candidate (although it may also be because I have more practice now). Only once do I think it didn't look as good, and that was because they asked me why I didn't take those schemes and I had to explain I didn't get both - but you'll have a better answer to that. The other thing I was say is to prepare to answer why you did vacation schemes at a regional firm and then a magic circle firm - that's something I had to justify after doing a scheme at a UK firm and then a US firm. I don't think you'll have a problem applying to MC firms with your grades - I interviewed at two this year and your grades are better than mine. [/QUOTE]
