Would you need to start in January? Most firms would be happy for you to start the GDL in the September intake.It would be a close thing, but if you got an offer before the Christmas break and the firm has a preferred supplier for the GDL, it is likely they will be able to onboard you in time for a late January start. The only issue maybe if you need to arrange a student visa, as that can draw out the process by a matter of weeks.
