I would say that whether you apply for the DTC or the WVS should be based on your background. For example, if you have done a vacation scheme before, have legal work experience (e.g. as a paralegal or similar), and feel confident that you can show your skills through an assessment centre, then a Direct TC could be a good option. This could also be the better option if you work full-time / part-time and would struggle to get time off for a vacation scheme.However, If you haven't had much legal exposure yet, the WVS would be really valuable experience as you would see how the firm works firsthand, do real legal tasks, build relationships in the firm, get feedback, and often have a better chance of converting it into a TC.Ultimately, it depends on what works best for you! If you can make time for the WVS, I'd recommend applying for that route to experience the firm directly. However, if the DTC is more practical for you, there is definitely still a solid chance of success <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
