[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 226116, member: 42112"] Hi! Congratulations on getting the Summer VS offer - that's an amazing achievement! I was in a similar position last year, so I can share what I did and overall what my advice would be. Firms often have some flexibility, so you can absolutely ask about moving to the Spring scheme. This is what I ended up doing, and ended up securing the Spring scheme for the firm that I moved (so it won't disadvantage you!). It's reasonable to ask whether they'd consider switching you - it's not guaranteed, but it's definitely not an unusual question. If you do reach out, keep it polite and positive - I would encourage you to reach out as soon as possible, even before they've decided to progress your application (as that is what I did). The key factor is communication and transparency, and there's no harm in politely inquiring - the worst thing they can say is no! Good luck with the rest of your applications! :) [/QUOTE]
