[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 215758, member: 1"] You definitely still have a chance with magic circle and silver circle firms. As long as you have a 2:1, that's all you need, especially if extenuating circumstances will explain any lower module grades. Regarding the second question, my personal view is you'll have a better chance applying to vacation schemes. Many firms have moved over to hiring mostly/if not all through the vacation scheme and it's usually a lower threshold to secure one (you don't need much relevant legal experience). I would still send direct training contract applications out to firms you are interested in, though, especially those that recruit largely from the training contract ([URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/where-firms-recruit-from-vacation-scheme-vs-direct-tc-applications-2024-2025.9147/']this thread[/URL] should give you an idea).
