It is reasonable to express interest in a specific team, especially since that interest comes from a conversation you had at the AC. I would just frame it as a query or preference rather than an expectation - explain in your email that you really enjoyed speaking to the Senior Associate and would be keen to gain exposure to Commercial Crime if possible, while understanding that seat allocation for vacation schemes tend to depend on a wide variety of factors and you may not get to choose (or even indicate a preference).Whether it is feasible will depend on the firm's process and how they make these decisions, but I don't think asking politely would reflect negatively on you. Even if you aren't allocated that seat for the VS, you could definitely reach out to those in the team and arrange for coffee chats to show an interest!Best of luck with the vacation scheme! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
