If you're thinking about taking a gap year just to understand more about the process, I wouldn't worry too much. Most people don't learn about vacation schemes and training contracts until at least their first year at university, if not a lot later. <a href="https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/what-are-they-first-year-schemes-vacation-schemes-training-contracts.9565/" target="_blank">This guide</a> should give you an early starting point. It looks like you secured excellent grades at GCSE and A Level. This is more than enough to get a training contract at any of the most competitive law firms. I'd keep in mind that university is a fairly big jump (alongside starting a new degree and often living away from family for the first time), so it is okay to prioritise adjusting to university without falling behind on the law firm process. I'd focus on making sure you keep up the great momentum with your grades in your first year. Once you join, a good place to start is to join your law society, where they will arrange events from law firms to introduce you to the profession. You'll then be able to learn a lot more about when to apply for first year schemes. You can see many of them last year closed a fair bit later in the year <a href="https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/first-year-scheme-deadlines-2024-25.9090/" target="_blank">here</a>.</blockquote>
