[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 12614, member: 1160"] Ultimately it’s totally up to you and don’t believe you’ll be massively disadvantaged in making an app now if you have the time to. But I know they do recruit largely from schemes and I just have a personal feeling against last minute apps as I don’t think they present you in the best light and allow time for the required research. If you have time there’s no harm in making an app but I agree it would need to be at least slightly different to the one you’d apply with next year. To be entirely honest with you if I was in your shoes, at this stage, I’d apply next cycle for a vac scheme. Their open day is very competitive so I would think it’s worth putting the time and effort into making an app for that and then one of their schemes next year. It’s really a personal thing though and if you feel confident in completing a strong app at this stage then go with your gut and give it a shot. [/QUOTE]
