[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 217456, member: 42112"] Hello [USER=41277]@llblawstudent[/USER] ! I think the Lift Off programme could be a good option if you're looking for more exposure to the firm, especially since you mentioned you haven't had the chance to do many insight schemes yet. It gives you a chance to build up knowledge and connections before the vacation scheme stage, and being fast-tracked to AC is definitely a bonus! In terms of competitiveness, I wouldn't say it's necessarily harder than applying directly for the vacation scheme. Even if you haven't done loads of previous experience, the programme is designed to help you grow and learn - and showing that you're keen to develop is exactly what they are looking for. The main thing is that Lift Off gives you an extra step to learn more about the firm and develop your commercial awareness (which all firms really value), and this will put you in a stronger position going into the AC. I'd absolutely apply! In general, I don't think it will necessarily be more competitive / harder to get a place on the Lift Off programme, and I'd focus on what you feel you would benefit from the most out of the two :) [/QUOTE]
