Question about winter vac schemes

[lawgrad123445]

Hey everyone, was just wondering for those winter VC apps which recruit on a rolling basis that opened on 1st Oct and will close on 31 Oct/late Oct, should I realistically be going for winter or summer/spring? I would ideally like to have a TC locked up as soon as possible, but of course I appreciate that the timing would not favour me, given that the application window is exactly half gone. Would appreciate everyone's thoughts, thanks in advance!

I find TCLA really useful for tracking rolling deadlines as you can see if the firm has started progressing people. I would say if you haven’t seen any news of people getting to the next stages then you’re fine, and also remember firms receive most of their applications on the last day even when they’re rolling.

I’d still apply for winter programmes at this stage. It’s still two weeks until the end of the month and most people will apply in the last few days.
