I am planning to start the GDL this September, but having had a look at the application procedures and deadlines of most of the larger city firms. For Non law applicants, practically all of them have a Jan-March deadline this year for training contracts commencing in Sept 2016.
There is no application window for those currently doing the GDL.
Why then, am I seeing all the threads here about people self funding their GDL and applying for TC while on the GDL? Surely they would be way past the deadline?
Am I missing something?
I was hoping to apply for TCs once I started my GDL because I am a career changer and doubt I could convince law firms on my commitment otherwise. Would that be too late?
