Is it too late for P72 UK Summer Academy?

As the title says. I’m an incoming final year at a semi-target and am interning at a boutique this summer in London.

Was wondering if it was too late to apply for P72 Summer Academy as I decided to apply for masters (Read that the P72 grad academy is near impossible)

Is it too late to apply for the 2026 P72 Summer Academy?

I applied not too long ago and got the case a day or two after. No harm in applying. Out of curiosity, what makes you think the grad is impossible to get compared to the summer? Is there fewer places?

 

No, for the summer it was a 500 word write up on a given company. No modelling needed. Do you have to choose between only applying to one of the internship/ grad scheme?

 

There's historically been 5 spots for the full time, and they take 5 interns
