[QUOTE="SoonToBeTrainee, post: 214909, member: 32830"] Hi! Don’t worry at all! Applying a few weeks after an application window has opened [B]will not[/B] disadvantage you :) In fact, I’d say whether you applied on the first day, or half way through the window, you have an equal chance. No advantage or disadvantage either way. Both rolling and non-rolling firms typically receive 50% of all applications during the last 2 weeks (before their deadlines close). As long as you submit a strong application, it doesn’t really matter when you submit it for 99% of firms. This is even more true given your intention to submit only a few weeks after an application window has opened. ——— (Most firms aren’t fully rolling-basis, even if they claim to be. However, there are one or two firms that genuinely recruit on a first-come, first-served basis. But, we’re so early into the application cycle that I wouldn’t worry. If a winter scheme was hypothetically full because you were the last person to apply, you’d be considered for the spring and summer schemes instead. What therefore matters is submitting a strong application, rather than the timing of when you submit). [/QUOTE]
