I am afraid I disagree. It simply means that applicants will be assessed in between their other workload and that they usually process the applications in the order in which they are made. They will still apply the same criteria.
Hi I am a non law graduate and graduated last Summer.
I spent this year making a number of applications to winter, spring and summer vac schemes and a few direct TCS.
Make a list of which firms you like and when the schemes run and the deadlines for applying. I decided which scheme to...
I was a non law applicant who applied during my final year to about 10 places and it was pretty tough having to get from uni up to London for assessment centres and interviews once a week for about 6 weeks in a row (2 hour train trip).
I graduated last year and spent this year applying...

Note to all but especially those who self funded SQE and haven't secured a TC

I really wouldn't worry too much about it. I am going into a vac scheme as a non law student who has not undertaken any legal education at all.
It will be okay to indicate that you have no family law education whatsoever.
