Is anyone able to help Re Vantage - I've put my postgraduate degree in which I am still completing (therefore don't have an average score or a grade) but I can't proceed on the application without putting something! I can't contact the vantage help desk as its tied to outlook which I don't have, but I don't want to put something inaccurate. Would it be bad to put the average I have so far and the grade I have so far and just make note of this error in the extra information box?

last year i did an AC for a firm for their vacation scheme and got rejected (they only gave me a few days notice) and it was my first one. should i reapply is it worth doing that, and should i change a lot of my app answers or is it okay to just change it up slightly. also since then, my cv has improved a lot and i have done law internships so I'm thinking about whether I should do DTC instead of a vacation scheme as well.

I removed the degree as of now. I recommend adding it in the box below.
