[QUOTE="Oli H, post: 40169, member: 4017"] Last year I managed to reach the interview stage for the A&O Summer Vac scheme. I was unfortunately unsuccessful but received really positive feedback from my interviews and was strongly encouraged to apply with a virtually unchanged application and to plug one gap in my interview responses. I've just submitted my application for this year but did not pass the SJT unfortunately. Is there any point emailing grad rec about my situation? Seems really odd to have passed the test last year and nearly been successful in the whole process and this year despite having more experience/a stronger application I'm not even going to reach the application review stage :( [/QUOTE]
