Hi all, I have recently been offered a summer vacation scheme and have been offered the choice of 2 different dates during summer. I’m trying to think whether there’s any particular advantage or disadvantage to choosing either date? Is it possible that if the earlier date cohort is very strong, the firm could have given out more than half of its TC offers before the later scheme even starts?

Has anyone still not heard from Russell Cooke or DACB for summer vac?

@Abbie Whitlock if reapplying to macfarlanes for DTC in the same cycle after having gotten a VS PFO, how would one approach the application question? I got rejected at a later stage so my application wasnt the issue, but still wondering to what extent its best to change it since the app has the same exact question as for the VS
