I completed two vacation schemes in my first cycle and didn’t convert either, and I was definitely apprehensive about including them in my next round of applications. What helped was keeping it factual and reflective, rather than defensive. Focus on: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">the teams or practice areas you sat in </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">the type of work you did (research, drafting, due diligence, etc.) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">what you learned about how firms operate and what kind of work you enjoy </li> </ul> You don’t need to mention non-conversion or justify anything. Firms expect people to have prior schemes, and not converting is very common. Used properly, previous vacation schemes show that you understand the role and have tested your interest in commercial law, which is a positive rather than a negative. Good luck 😄</blockquote>
