Apply for FT and SA (London)

I have completed a SA in Germany in Germany at a Tier 2 firm (think Barclays, UBS, PWP, Citi) and I will finish my Masters in Summer 2024. I would like to upgrade to a better firm and work in London. I do not want to do another internship but apply for FT. Do you think this is too risky? Can I apply for FT and SA at the same time? I have applied to GS FT, for example, but now I am considering to apply for SA also since I have not heard back yet. Thank you! (Also I am a female, if that changes the answer a bit)
