[QUOTE="jjcm11, post: 119865, member: 15114"] Hi everyone, I was looking for some advice and it would really help if anyone could give their thoughts! Im going into my final year of a non-law degree (International Relations) at a Russel Group Uni. My predicted degree grade is a 1st. I wasn't able to secure any vac schemes in my second year which was really disappointing and honestly made me question whether I should continue on the legal path. In terms of legal experience, I have a weeks worth of shadowing in a solicitors office, a first year insight day at a magic circle firm and also a couple of virtual legal experiences. I do plan on continuing with applications this year, (though I will also be applying to other fields simultaneously) I am just unsure on how many/which applications to do. I know that many firms get their trainees from vac schemes - but I have not completed any vac schemes. Would it be better to apply to vac schemes then? I would apply directly to TC's but I feel as if I will just get rejected again as my experience isn't extensive in comparison to other candidates. If I apply for vac schemes, and get rejected, would I not be able to apply for TC's at the same firm for the same cycle? Or would I have to wait? Sorry if this doesn't make sense I'm kinda stressed and trying to figure out what to do with everything 😬 [/QUOTE]
