[QUOTE="al97, post: 149989, member: 29424"] Hi Gemma, I have a question relating to the ratio of offers made between winter vs, spring vs, summer vs, and direct TC. If a firm offers four openings as such within one cycle, how will they split the offers? 1. For example, if a firm offers 50 TC a year, all winter and spring vac schemers perform well and fill up about 49 TC spots, does it mean there will only be one opening for direct TC applicants? 2. Alternatively, will the firm reserve a fixed amount of numbers for direct TC applicants, say 10 spots, which means the remaining 40 offers will be split equally between the two vacation schemes? But isn't it entirely possible that the winter intake cohort performs better than the spring/summer cohort? I ask this question because I heard from two different opinions: some say I should apply for direct TC because it is less competitive, which is true if the firm does reserve a certain amount of spots as described in 2. However, some told that there could be 1,000 direct TC applicants fighting for 1-2 spots, as described in 1, which makes the direct route more competitive. Is that right? It would be great if you can share what Willkie's preference is. Many thanks for your time. [/QUOTE]
