[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 76716, member: 5063"] Hate to be all lawyery about it, but it really depends. The first thing to mention is that, simply by virtue of being in third year, you are not at a disadvantage to those who applied in second year for schemes. There are plenty of people who apply a lot later than this stage, so there's really nothing to worry about on that front. In terms of where you should focus your applications, it's hard to say really. Quite a number of direct TC app windows are still open for this cycle, so you could do worse than sending a few out and getting a feel for this type of application. The next cycle, for VSs, will open in Autumn - usually around August time for Winter, Spring and Summer vacs. If you weren't to secure something this cycle, or wanted to broaden your horizons rather than necessarily accepting the first offer you get, I would then go down this route. Note, though, that the qualification routes are changing this autumn and, (I think) unless you commence the PGDL by September this year, you'll have to qualify via the new SQE route instead. [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] really is the expert here, though, so I bow to her greater knowledge as there's a (very) reasonable chance I've made a mistake in re the GDL/ SQE stuff! Hope this is some help! [/QUOTE]
