[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 229449, member: 42112"] Congratulations on the AC invite!! To answer your question (in a very typical lawyer fashion), it depends! Last cycle I was able to move a summer scheme to a spring scheme, as I had been offered a scheme that clashed with one I had already accepted. However, some firms might not be able to accommodate any changes if they have already filled all the spots for the schemes and people aren’t able to move. However, I would definitely encourage you to reach out and ask as soon as you can! By asking early, this increases the chances that you might be able to move to a different scheme, particularly if it is one later in the year. Alternatively, if they’ve already recruited for the scheme you’d like to move to, you may be able to swap with a candidate on the later scheme who is able to do your original scheme. There’s absolutely no harm in asking, so I would just send a polite email to the graduate recruitment team to explain the situation. Given that most firms run their vacation schemes at similar times, this is something that they will be used to and they’re likely to try and find a way to accommodate where possible. Best of luck with the AC! :) [/QUOTE]
