Have discovered that some US firms don't require the GDL for non-law graduates and instead put you on a "bespoke SQE prep course" in partnership with Barbri. Does anyone know what this entails, and whether you're at a disadvantage having not done the GDL?

Someone please offer some advice...

I was planning on applying for Burges Salmon's direct TC, however I am unsure whether it may be wiser to wait and apply for the vac scheme when it opens up in autumn.

I don't think I'd be able to apply for the upcoming vac schemes if I get rejected from this TC app... very confused and would very much appreciate literally any bit of advice
