    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I don't think this is true. I was offered a VS after my spring AC and was offered a spot for summer. I was told that the spring positions were very full.

    For reference, I applied to DP on December 7 (spring and summer VS), and heard back today. I applied to Cleary (spring) at the beginning of November and got the invite yesterday. Good luck everyone!

    Could anyone share some insight as to how long the response time is per question for the Weil VI?

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
