Pls stop, just apply when it opens and suck it up alright? If you want me to look at your app in advance I would cool to but you have A LOT of time. Most of the applications open up in March, with Nomura and BAML being earlier.

Not sure if you're just trolling, but if you aren't offer is still there.

Some more questions. When applying can you mention stuff that you haven't done yet but will definitely be doing? Asking because I'm doing work experience in Germany in June 2017 and in July I'll be doing the same in France. Also I'll definetly volunteer abroad at some point, next summer if I have time or if not the summer after or perhaps both, I assume that volunteering abroad will look pretty impressive, yes? Also are there any books that you recommend that I can mention when applying? Also the insight days are called 'A Level insight days', will Scottish qualifications be accepted?

I would err on the side of leaving it off, but you could explain that you were accepted on to the programme for instance?

This isn't a uni app ahah, you don't need to mention books...

Yes, scotquals are fine

Hmm don't know, the work experience in Germany is organised with my school and the work experience in France is organised with a company, anyone who applies is accepted... I'd also do the volunteering abroad with a company so again anyone who applies is accepted. I don't know if I should mention them, wouldn't it increase my chances quite a bit especially the volunteering abroad? I'm only just about to start S5 so when I'm in S6 I can definetly mention them as I will have done them...

OOOH you're only going into S5.. You don't have much to worry about then.

I mean Nomura and BAML take on S5s but the bulk of the insight days you'll apply to when you're in sixth year so chill on applying for now.

Yeah I guess you are right, I have been worrying quite a bit... i'll focus this year on improving my extracurriculars which will help me when applying in S6. Do you think theres any point in applying to the ones that accept S5's this year or should I just wait? If I was to apply this year and not get in, I could still apply next year, couldn't I?
