    Apply during your final year. I'd advise targeting vac schemes by applying over Xmas and during January.
    Anything in particular i should be doing in preparation in the meantime?

    If you have some armani suits, iron them?

    If you don't have some armani suits, buy some?

    If you can't buy some armani suits, change your name?

    You can apply this year to quite few firms, if you want to chance it. Non-law students can increasingly apply in their second year: a reasonable number now get their TCs 3 rather than 2 years in advance.

    Get as much commercial and legal work experience as possible. Get positions of responsibility at university. And try to get as few 2.2s in your modules as possible.
