SA Recruiting Timeline London

Hi guys,

What is general SA timeline for London?  I mean average and safe to apply timeline for BBs (not opening date) as mainly interested in BBs/EBs. 

Found many contradicting information so to clarify this question.

Thanks a lot.

The only 'safe' time to apply is within 2 days of each application opening. It's an absolute pain, but make a spreadsheet with the opening dates and career website links so you can easily check them on a daily basis if the date is not disclosed.  

As the other poster said, you should have definitely applied to most places by September.

True, but if you want to be safe you should still apply when they open.

From my SA at a BB, I was in the first day of AC's and they filled up half of the summer class on that day alone.
