[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 67923, member: 1572"] Hey, I wouldn't say it's an irrational fear. I know I went through the same doubts but it actually really doesn't matter which scheme you do. If a firm wants to make you a TC offer they will 100% find a space for you. Bear in mind that depending on where the rest of the VS students are at (post-graduation, second years, year abroad students etc.) offers will be made across different intakes as well, which again means there's likely to be more TC places up for grabs than you think. A lot of firms also wait to do both their summer schemes and assess all their candidates before giving out TC places. I know for 2/3 of the vacs I did last year this was the case (and I'm happy I did the later schemes too because it meant less of wait to find out about the TC haha). So really, just pick the intake that you want and that fits into your own schedule - it won't change your odds in any way. ☺️ [/QUOTE]
