[QUOTE="boots pharmacy, post: 188457, member: 38022"] Hello [USER=17473]@WillkieGemma[/USER] Thanks for the extra time you're taking to answer our questions on this thread ☺️ I am a final year law student looking to make an application for a vacation scheme at Willkie. I gained a 2.1 in my second year, but received a low 2.2 in first year which included 3rds in some modules. I have mitigating circumstances (physical illness, I had also gotten into a major accident a week prior to my exams) and a consistently strong academic record besides my first year results. I also have good work experience - internships in consulting and finance, and a first year scheme at a reputable firm. Despite this, given the competitivity of VS applications, I am worried that my application would be pre-screened and rejected even if my question answers, work experience, etc. are good. Am I overthinking? Would it still be worth it to write an application? Thanks again for taking the time to read this. [/QUOTE]
