[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 145071, member: 2672"] The first thing to stress is you have plenty of time to get a vacation scheme - they are not limited to next summer. For many firms it will be a challenge to assess your academic absolutises given your mitigating circumstances cover all of your degree (at present). They may look at your college/school grades more carefully, but many may just encourage you to apply once you have stronger grades. You may also want to look for alternatives outside of commercial firms. You may find in-house internships or things like the Government Legal Department, as well as informal work experience opportunities as ways to build up your CV. I would encourage you to focus more on your mental health first and getting your grades up second though - particular the former needs to be your priority rather than concerning yourself about vacation schemes.
