However it's important to emphasise to avoid waiting until the last moment to apply. With rising competition for graduate schemes, it's often a first come, first served basis so you really don't want your application to be the one at the bottom of the pile. If you're really interested in a graduate scheme, take the time to make some time and use that time to apply well in advance to increase your chances of your application progressing to the next round. Make sure to make full use of the Graduate Recruitment Bureau website as they're there to help you and they fill shortfalls in schemes that won't be advertised elsewhere.
