We were extremely impressed with your application however, so we highly recommend that you apply for the direct training contract if you have not already done so.

And now I’m so annoyed I applied for the vac scheme and TC at the same time 💔

Will DWF still consider my application for the TC even though I was rejected from the VS and applied at the same time??
