Baker McKenzie Question

Hello,

For Baker McKenzie's summer internship it states:

The Summer scheme is open to penultimate year students or those on the second year of a four year course. Please confirm that you fall into one of these categories.

Does that mean if I am in the third year of a non-law degree, I cannot apply? Thank you.

    Yeah it seems like they would have wanted you to apply for the Spring scheme. Probably worth an email to see whether it's a strict rule.
