[QUOTE="pepsicola96, post: 180075, member: 35776"] [B]Application Update[/B] Just to update, I've been doing some research to see which firms I'm able to apply that A) have a vac scheme, B) accept penultimate year non-law and C) accept my a-level grades/have no minimum requirements and I've come up with a very short and intimidating list indeed haha. Vacation Schemes that I can apply to are: Freshfields Linklaters Baker Mckenzie Herbert Smith Freehills Macfarlanes Mischon de Reya Slaughter and May In addition, there are a number of other schemes I am eligible for, these are: Clifford Chance (Spark Scheme) CMS (Insight Programme) Fieldfisher (Diversity Access Scheme) Osborne Clarke (Insight scheme) So quite lofty ambitions here. Including a hail mary or two (looking at you slaughter and may). As I said I have no expectations for this cycle, and if all I get out of it is application practice then so be it! But I'm still going to make the best effort I can, even if the firms available to me are some of the most competitive. I'm hoping I can make a really solid, thoroughly researched 5 or so applications to some of the more attainable firms, and then if and when I have the time, will complete the rest. If I've missed any notable firms that are open to me this year (for vac schemes or insight schemes) please do let me know. Or if you have any tips for the above applications. [B]Life Currently[/B] Well, 8 weeks into the summer holidays, roughly 8 weeks remaining, and I am bored out of mind. Some of these vac scheme applications open in about 6 weeks so I expect to be jumping on that, and filling the time with application prep since I have nothing better to do 🥲. I am still not getting more than 2 shifts a week at my job, the gym has been thoroughly neglected, and most of my home friends have not come home for summer (internships or graduated or just love their uni cities). So it's really me, my cat and my laptop.
