[QUOTE="TCTC, post: 230740, member: 32644"] Hmm I don’t really agree with this. The application process for US firms is already extremely competitive, so if you’ve made it onto a vac scheme, that suggests the firm has already overlooked things like low grades or coming from a non RG. If those were major issues, it wouldn’t make much sense for them to take you onto the scheme in the first place. When it comes to final decisions, it seems far more likely that firms focus on how you performed during the interview and assessment stages, and then on your performance during the vac scheme itself. It doesn’t seem very likely that they would accept you onto the scheme and then later rely on the same factors they had already overlooked. If you make it to the vac scheme, it feels much more reasonable that those things are no longer barriers to entry. That’s just my opinion and I could be wrong! [/QUOTE]
