I wanted to give my two cents on this as someone who has failed to convert 3 vac schemes 😭!The biggest mistake I made and one that I've seen drag other top candidates down was confidence. You have to try your best to really put yourself out there and express how interested you are in the work and the firm. There were times where a task that my supervisor was doing was super fascinating to me but because I just quietly did what was assigned to me without voicing this interest, he assumed that I wasn't interested at all. In terms of the written work/tasks, I did 4-5 forage vac schemes (theforage.com/simulations?careers=law) before my actual vac schemes and this was a really useful example of how lawyers structure and draft documents and I tried to mimic their language and style. This ended up working well for me as I usually performed on the work/tasks.Lastly I would say to just enjoy the experience,  make friends with all the other schemers and try to connect with the lawyers at the firm. Grad Rec can sense your energy and whether someone doesn't fit in with their cohort or the firm and will definitely take it into consideration. Also always be friendly and polite! (Someone on a scheme I attended was kicked off halfway through for making fun of someone's hairline😭)</blockquote>
