[QUOTE="A4991, post: 17402, member: 3843"] I reckon you need to chill and not send anything off like some people have recommended. I would spend the rest of your third year trying to get a better understanding of why law and the industry in general. Go to as many events as you can and try to build up a network/connection with firms that interest you. In your final year you can then apply to vacation schemes and it will be fine. There is no point doing apps at this late stage if you haven't made any connections with the firms or been to any open days. Enjoy the rest of your holidays and start fresh next year. In addition, if you are abroad it's going to be really hard for you to attend interviews/ assessment centres so I would probably wait until final year. I went to lots and lots of events in my final year and focused on getting the highest possible grade I could in my degree. After I graduated in september this year is when I started applying for vacation schemes and was largely successful because I had a lot of time to really focus my applications. Hope this helps.
