Even if you felt like you didn’t do as much in second year, secretary for a society + playing a sport + playing several musical instruments make a good combination of experiences to draw on for applications. I also think the fact that you’ve done multiple virtual internships puts you in quite a good position.Out of curiosity, what are the firms you actually want to apply to if you are being ambitious? It doesn’t sound like the firms you listed are necessarily your top choice firms. If I can be brutally honest, it sounds like the only thing holding you back is your perception of what’s good enough for firms (which I completely understand btw I’ve been there). Don’t get bogged down by what people say about how difficult it is to get offers at certain firms - half of them have never been made the offer and so wouldn’t actually know and the other half tend to sometimes blow things out of proportion. You will never know unless you try and if I were you I’d aim as high as possible, you might be very pleasantly surprised by the outcomes. The other thing is the more you actually like the firm you’re applying to the more compelled you’ll be to spend the time and effort writing a good quality application- do you really want to spend time at Open Days with firms that aren’t your first choice?TLDR: If you’re questioning whether you’re being ambitious enough I’d say you probably aren’t then. You have strong grades and good experiences, I think you stand a good chance with any firm you want.</blockquote>
