[QUOTE="firmfirm, post: 220029, member: 42704"] I submitted a vac scheme application to a firm but realised I made a big mistake. I forgot to remove the placeholder text “(just explain briefly here)” in the section where I was meant to explain my mitigating circumstances for my grades. What should I do? Should I email grad rec to ask them to withdraw my application, or ask if I can access it again to add more to my explanation about my mitigating circumstances? If I do the latter, I was thinking of framing it not as a mistake, but more as wanting to elaborate on how these circumstances affected my grades and how I’ve improved since. How likely are they to accept a request like that? Could this lead to an automatic rejection? I’ve been to quite a few of their events (open day and virtual), and grad rec knows me, so I’m hoping that might help. The deadline for the vac scheme isn’t until early December, so there’s still time. Any advice would be really appreciated! [USER=42112]@Abbie Whitlock[/USER] [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] [/QUOTE]
