I've gotten offers at 2 First Year Schemes but they clash

Hey everyone!

I've been really lucky to land spots on both Linklaters Pathfinder and A&O First, both of which are firms and programmes that I'm really interested in. However, the dates for the two schemes clash and I'm worried that I'll only be able to do which is a real shame as I worked so hard on my application for both.

If anyone has faced a similar situation or has any advice on how I can pick between the two I would really appreciate your support!
