I always told myself that I’d consider going into any type of law BESIDES real estate as it’s so boring, and today I got a distinction for land law module. Erm 
I just got an email from Vantage and thought oof it should be an app update from Travers, Orrick or Ropes... Turns out it’s just a request to update my account details on the Vantage platform… 
Hey! So I’m going to a Spring VS AC soon but I’m unlikely to be able to make the dates. They do a summer vs too.
Should I tell the firm before my AC and let them know I’d strongly prefer summer, or see if they give me an offer and then ask to switch after?
Thanks!

Haha ngl that would be funny if it was but I think they just wanted me to confirm my details idk.
Imagine Vantage were lurking on the forum and thought let’s investigate that Harvey lad lmao.

I had this before and I soft launch asked them on the AC. They were completely fine to switch me when i got the offer. but if you definitely can't make the spring dates i would ask via email before the AC to avoid any issues. Don't need to say you defo cant make it, just say there is a chance and wanted to ask. Wont look good if they give an offer and u cant make the dates at all.
Simmons PFO came like 3 months later...plus with two emails sent twice and a 'but you may apply again in autumn 2025' like okay lets turn back time guys

Got two emails within seconds with very different wording on the rejection.
Tempted to email back lol
