Message: <blockquote data-quote="Theyoungone" data-source="post: 86588" data-attributes="member: 11810">I'm starting my first year and whilst having okay academics, I only have two weeks non-legal work experience, and literally nothing to put under extra-curricular/interests. Don't get me wrong, I have SO much planned to do at university, mooting, try to write for a blog, law society, pro-bono etc. But what i want to know is, what is actually expected for these first year insight schemes? Apart from academics, do most competitive applicants already have lots of work experience and achievements prior to university? It seems whilst vacation schemes are always talked about, and how to secure them, the same is never done for insight schemes.Also, bonus questions. Am i able to participate in pro-bono society even if I'm a new first year? because obviously i wouldn't actually have any legal knowledge to assist with lol. And is it abnormal to apply to first year schemes without any legal work experience. I'm a bit anxious as I feel really behind in the process, so id really appreciate anyone's expertise here <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />ANOTHER BONUS: are these "virtual internships" actually worth doing?</blockquote>
