I’m really sorry to hear about your situation and I understand how difficult this sounds. Whilst I was trying to address the issues surrounding postponement and what that could possibly mean for the chances of conversion,  I understand this issue extends beyond that worry as you have highlighted in your post.

I wish I could offer some sound advice as to what is best but it’s very hard to when it comes to people’s individual circumstances. Is it possible to maybe make a few apps to your top choices and add the VS in as you usually would and just add a note in the textbox saying ‘postponed until further notice’ so that it is still in the apps?

I understand that it is hard to take time off with work. When you say four weeks off is that because you have another VS in the summertime? Or would the scheme itself be four weeks? I really think if the dates they release cannot work for you there would hopefully at least be the opportunity for a discussion regarding a direct TC. You may have to do the AC again but it might be worth broaching that if you can’t do the VS. I think everyone has been knocked for six by this whole situation so I am sure firms will try to be as accommodating as possible.
