I know W&C is rolling, but I always say this - you never know unless you try.

Let‘s look at it from two angles.

• Angle 1: If you wait till the next cycle to apply for the winter VS, you will still have time to put in your application eventually. You could also spend the time before reading more about the firm, refining your application/ interview skills, and so on.
• Angle 2: If you apply for the direct TC and get it, that’s great. If you don‘t, the experience is not wasted. You will have certainly improved your written application skills (in time for the next cycle). If you progress to the later stages, you will have received feedback, which is always good, and help more for the next cycle.

Feedback is so important. One of the greatest things I appreciate is when I get feedback, no matter how direct it may seem. It shows a firm/person cares about your development enough to give you areas to improve on. I have had my fair share of PFOs, but the feedback kept me going. You will be able to gauge that X and Y is good, but I need to improve on H and Q for next time. It could also help in seeing that hmm, maybe if I do O and R next time, then I could tackle this stage of the application process better, and so on.

Bets of luck on the apps!
