What's Rare Recruitment for?

I'm a first year law student. I just got accepted as a Rare candidate. But it seems like the applications for their first and second year programmes (Foundations/Articles) are all closed already. Any idea what the point is since I am no longer eligible for those?

I’m currently a second year law rare candidate and they’ve actually been quite helpful.

Basically, as a candidate you’re entitled to application reviews by the law team, CV reviews and mock interviews (actually got one with them tomorrow).

So, yeah, there’s still a point in being a candidate and they’ve been really helpful with my applications so far
 
I was in the same situation last year. I missed the applications for the articles programme. But I do believe that the discuss programme applications will open in March I believe. It’s similar to the articles programme and you have to do an interview for it. But rare honestly were so helpful!. Would 100% recommend applying to the rare discuss programme!
