[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 65620, member: 1572"] Hi FL, Ultimately I think you need to decide two things: 1. Do you think securing the TC/VS with the final firm will in any way change how you feel or your preference for the firm you already have a TC with? If you think there is even a small chance of it altering your final decision of where to accept a TC then I think you should go ahead with the AC. 2. Do you think you can push through, prepare and perform well for the AC? If you don't think you can/if you don't want to, then putting yourself through it will likely lead to a negative outcome anyway. From personal experience, I had three VS offers when I got an AC invite from HSF and I'm not sure why I put myself through the stress of attending the AC when I barely prepped and knew that there was no way I'd given it enough effort to get the VS. Similarly, when W&C invited me to a VI for direct TC, I was overjoyed because I really loved their firm but ultimately I chose to drop out of the process because I was more than happy with the TC offers I had been made already. I don't think anyone can really tell you what to do for sure here but if after considering the things I mentioned, you do want to drop out, don't let the "opportunity" factor alone force you in the opposite direction. If you are truly happy with the firm you do have that final offer from then you really aren't losing out on anything anyway! [/QUOTE]
