Was wondering if anyone wanted to run through the BM AC experience with me?

Just completed mine and wanted to compare notes to try and calm myself down.

I think if your application is good enough, it doesn’t matter when you submit it (before the deadline ofc)

Does anyone know if you're allowed to apply to the Hogan Lovells TC if you applied for a vac scheme earlier in the year?
