Hi!

Just to add to the other responses, I don't think this will be an issue. I applied for a MC firm's TC this year, without doing their VS or even their first year scheme- I don't recall having attended an open day with the firm, yet was still invited. Just make sure to have a great answer for when they ask "Why the firm", They never asked me that. For other firms, I've completed their first year schemes, yet did not go beyond the VS AC, yet they still encouraged me to apply for the TC for the current cycle, even having never done a VS with that firm. If you convey your interest, I'm sure it'll be fine!
