[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 193405, member: 36740"] Hey there [USER=37051]@LawLawLawLawLaw[/USER] , I believe you are not late at all if you apply now to firm's with Jan deadlines, seeing as most firms receive the bulk of their applications in the last two weeks. I recommend for those January deadlines, however, submitting them before the two -week mark for each firm. This approach will also depend on whether each firm has rolling or non-rolling deadlines. For the rolling ones, I recommend definitely prioritising them ahead. The number point is also a really interesting and heavily debated one. There are no [B]set [/B]number of applications you need to submit, it all depends on your personal approach. For example, submitting a small number of carefully written applications enables you to focus on quality over quantity. This could improve your chances of moving past the application stage. On another hand, the process is also sometimes really a numbers game. I have submitted applications which I knew were not [I]perfect, [/I]but had gotten me to the next round. I know of someone that only submitted one application, but got a direct TC offer. I know of people that have submitted 25, and got an offer from the last firm they applied to. Yor decision to choose 12 is great as I also always recommend applicants applying to at least 10 firms per cycle. Overall, whichever approach to take is dependent on your schedule and capacity.
