I know this is an old thread but I really want to get [USER=16764]@James Carrabino[/USER] and [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER]'s advice and view on this from both the applicant and a grad rec perspective:Should I ever mention about my failed Vac Scheme in my following applications both in the work experience section and in the main questions?The reason I ask is because the Vac Scheme I had is most likely going to be the closest experience I am going to get in terms of understanding the work of a trainee in a city law firm. Should I therefore rely heavily on this experience in future applications?It would be great if other members who were in the same shoes can share their thoughts as well.Thanks in advance!
