[QUOTE="biglaworbust, post: 144960, member: 29743"] Hello everyone! So basically, I had a really poor first year (see results below) which left me unable to apply for vacation schemes during my second year. However, I've had what I believe to be a decently strong second year (see below) which I hope to follow up with an even better third year. I know that my first year marks put me at a disadvantage compared to other candidates and I may not have much success, however I find (like almost anyone else) that I get better at things with more time/practice and believe that having a chance to familiarize/expose myself to the application process (questions, WG, SJT etc) will put me in a better position when applying for Vacation Schemes during the 2023/24 cycle. Aside from my poor first year marks, I believe that I can put forward a high quality application as I have a decent amount of legal work experience and I've already researched these firms. That being said, if applying to Direct TC's will bar or otherwise disadvantage me in regards to 2024 Spring/Summer VS, it isn't worth it as I think my application will only get stronger from here on out. I know so this may vary by firm so these are the ones I am interested in applying to: Freshfields Hogan Lovells Norton Rose Fulbright White and Case Any advice or help is greatly appreciated! Year 1: Constitutional and Administrative Law - 64% Criminal Law - 55.2% Contact Law - 54% Legal Foundations - 50% Overall Year 1: 55.8% Year 2: Competition Law- 75% European Union Law- 72% Land Law - 66.4% Equity and Trusts - 64.2% Tort Law - 64% Overall Year 2: 67% [/QUOTE]
