[QUOTE="Sam55, post: 33940, member: 4862"] Hi Jess, After further deliberation I have decided to self fund the GDL at ulaw Moorgate. I feel like I've been really unfortunate this year in that I managed to secure 4 VS (although had to reject one due to overlap and another cancelled due to covid) but I have not managed to secure a TC. I was wondering if you had any advice on what I can do during my time on the GDL to make myself an even more competitive applicant and if there are any specific opportunities you recommend I take? Also, does having multiple vac schemes disadvantage any applications because they will know I have been unsuccessful in securing the TC? Especially if I am applying to more prestigious firms than the ones I had vac schemes at? Do you also think it is worth mentioning my additional cancelled vac scheme in an additional information part of any applications? Sorry for the influx of questions but my parents are helping me self fund and I really want to be successful in the coming year and make sure that their help doesn't go to waste. Thanks so much for the help! [/QUOTE]
