Note on Application Authenticity
AI tools such as ChatGPT or Copilot can aid in planning and preparing your application. However, your responses must be entirely your own.
Show us the real you:
- Your application should authentically reflect your skills, experience, and motivations.
- Use AI wisely—for ideas, brainstorming, or general guidance—but do not rely on it to draft your full responses.
- Warning: Applications submitted with AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm that your responses represent your own knowledge and achievements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
