[QUOTE="laurabeaumont, post: 143981, member: 29428"] Hi [USER=21724]@lawstudent15[/USER], Well done on securing your internship and work experience! If this was me, I would focus on completing those experiences and then adequately reflecting on them, identifying the new skills and insights acquired and reflect upon where I can improve previous VS applications. That, in my eyes, would strengthen your applications immensely. However, it also doesn't have to be an [B]either/or[/B] situation - if you want to, you [B]can [/B]still apply for direct TCs and I have had friends who have been successful in doing so after being unable to secure a VS. If you had confidence in your previous experience and skill set to apply this year, then I'd say go ahead and apply for the TC anyway. Of course, that is only if you feel you can carve out the necessary time to write up and polish your applications - you can always note down your upcoming internships as well. If you are unable to obtain the TC, there is always the chance to apply for VS/TC in the next cycle. There is one note of warning - sometimes firms do not allow you to reapply again if your application has already been unsuccessful in the last cycle. Have a look at their graduate recruitment pages to confirm that! That might change your opinion again if you have your heart set on certain firms. Hope that insight helps and let me know what you decide in the end on this thread! Laura :) [/QUOTE]
