Kirkland & Ellis vac scheme - HELP
hey everyone! im new to this account and never posted on reddit, so not even sure if im doing this correctly!
im a second-year non-law student at ucl. i got a 71 in my first year, but also achieved two 2:2s (54&55), largely due to some pretty serious ECs. I got 999888877 for my GCSEs and A*AA for my A-Levels (im first in my household to go to university/fsm student/carer if that matters). reallyyyyy hoping to get a first this year too. also had some part-time work bcs of difficult household finances.
i got 2 first-year schemes at magic circle law firms and a banking internship in the gulf for this summer. im also going to the States for my third year of university (year abroad)
this is just a super quick summary of my stats & extracurriculars. my question is, realistically, do I have a good shot at achieving a vacation scheme with Kirks in my final year?
I want to work in private equity and am really into PE in the Gulf. im very willing to work hard and change what I can but know they mostly take Oxbridge; genuinely only see straight A*s on the linkedns of current/future trainees. is it highly unlikely that they would consider me?
please be real w me, have no one else to ask & please only respond if you know what youre talking about (kindly <33)
