[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 155164, member: 30937"] Hey [USER=20173]@ChanA2626[/USER], I have heard this even when I was applying last year and I think that this is generally what people think but I think it is firm specific. I have many friends who did UK firms vacation scheme and did not manage to convert them (even though the conversion rate is high compared to other firms). I think that generally speaking some UK firms do recruit vastly from the vacation scheme, others do not. I think that the same applies to some US firms. However, I will say that US firms tend to recruit less trainees, however it depends on the firm. Some US firms do offer a lot of training contract to the vacation scheme students (especially cause the cohorts are smaller). For instance, I know that Sullivan & Cromwell offer training contracts to 90% of the people who do the vacation scheme (which is 10 usually). However, this should not discourage you from applying to them in the slightest. If I believed this statistics I would have never applied to Goodwin and I would have never received the training contract, despite knowing that they only offer 14 training contracts every year. So, definitely put your best foot forward. Good luck with the application! [/QUOTE]
