That said, from my personal experience, I do not think whether this is your first VS or not impacts your odds too much. While my sample size is admittedly limited, across my 4 vacation schemes I have observed that: (i) the majority to people who converted were indeed doing their first scheme; and (ii) there were substantial numbers of people who had done prior vacation schemes and did not convert.In truth, during some schemes I was positively surprised to see that most offers did not go to the people who looked more "polished" on paper. In one of them, around half of the cohort had either an Oxbridge undergrad/postgrad; prior vacation schemes; and/or had substantial work experience at finance/consulting jobs in the City. Interestingly enough, however, more than half of the TC offers were made to non-Oxbridge penultimate year students. The conclusion I drew from that was that your CV will only carry you so far - it opens the door to the VS, but, beyond that point, conversion is mostly just down to one's performance.</blockquote>
