Do people ever switch vacation scheme offers from summer to spring or the other way around?

Do graduate recruitment teams review applications in the order they received it? Is it safe to assume a PFO when I see candidates progress to the next round when they applied on the same day or later than me? @Jessica Booker

for the MC firms that don't open their vacation schemes to graduates, I was wondering what my chances are applying direct TC as a fresh grad without any vacation scheme experiences with other firms? Feels like I'd be competing with career changers with a lot more experience than me

What firms don’t open their VS to graduates?

Clifford Chance. Their VS is only for 1st year law or penultimate non-law

ikr I set the notification volume to the max for the mail app, which scared the baby Jesus out of me whenever there was a ding. But turned out that was a mail from Legal Cheek telling me to apply to a firm that just rejected me =)))))
