[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 214473, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=33454]@TCLA0322[/USER] Yes, I think this is a good idea. Reapplying can be a smart move, especially if you’ve strengthened your profile since the last cycle. In your case, having gone from a 2:1 to a First and gaining new internship experience are both clear improvements that you can clearly point to in your application. That said, the key to making a reapplication work is [I]reflecting meaningfully[/I] on what happened during your ACs the first time and showing that you’ve taken steps to improve. During my first cycle, I got to AC at several firms but wasn’t successful; commercial awareness and written exercises were my weak spots. Before the start of my second cycle, I focused on sharpening that through consistent reading, mock interviews, and application feedback and eventually received offers from some of those same firms I’d been rejected from.
