There are limited ways of showing a particular dedication to Magic Circle firms, but people I know who had - i.e. Herbert Smith Campus Manager, open days (A&O, Slaughters, Freshfields), workshops (Clifford Chance), the Challenge (Eversheds) have been very successful in getting interviews and converting those interviews into offers.

Be clear about what they want. Linklaters want an ode as to why they are the best, Clifford Chance are similar. Comparatively, Freshfields and A&O test this much more through the vacation scheme itself.

Don't be defeatist, at all. The above candidates all demonstrate that MC success cannot be defined by one factor.

It is still only October, there is more than enough time to take up a new interest for vac scheme application purposes.

Before you apply, have an idea of the order in which you rank firms. Not your friends, or your tutors: you. If you don't, it is likely you could be following the herd.
