I personally believe that you have plenty of chances of getting a vacation scheme offer! There are many firms out there that accept BBB or accept extenuating circumstances (if you have any) so I think you should not be discouraged by that. I myself am an international student who applied for vacation scheme with an undergraduate degree from Italy and an MSc from LSE (and I was a non-law student as well with no legal experience). I was so discouraged at the beginning of my journey but I quickly realised that the secret lies with being able to explain everything you have done, including your grades, and make sure that the graduate recruitment understands the conversion of your grades and the level of your experiences. I know someone who graduated with a 2:2 with a degree outside of the UK and got a tc at a MC firm. It really is about being able to sell yourself in the best way possible.In conclusion, I genuinely think that you have a really good chance at securing a vacation scheme at various law firms. One tip that I would suggest is to apply to a variety of law firms and not only City Law firms as my experience showed me that some US firms are VERY open to internationals, they in fact encourage us to apply, so I would look into those too!Good luck with everything and I am sure that everything will work out for you, especially given your LLM!Apply and smash this application cycle!
