i did mine a week ago and i saw someone else on the forum got their VI invite a week later after they did their test so now idk whether to expect a PFO or not lmao lowkey bricking it
Hi! DLA applied on the deadline, took WG like two weeks ago - should assume a negative outcome? The website says “complete december 30th”. Thanks!

No - many interviewers don’t like taking notes during an interview. It’s a very personal choice/decision and is nothing to do with your candidacy.
Hey! I asked graduate recruitment as I thought the WG was automatic and they responded with this:
"The Watson Glaser test is only assigned to those who successfully pass the first screening stage (based on their application form). Your application is still being shortlisted which is why you won't have received this yet.
We will be in touch via email as soon as possible to confirm if your application is progressing to the Watson Glaser stage."
That was 2 weeks ago so I assume we are in the same boat (I applied the day before the deadline as well). I think a PFO is on its way as they are already running ACs
I sih

Has anyone heard back for Clyde summer VC AC?
Same! It sounds like they just stopped reviewing apps because they already had enough to take to VI / AC stage!
CMS Academy Offer!!! I’m absolutely shocked and currently shaking! This is my third application cycle and I thought I would never get a VS offer but my dreams have finally come true! I want to thank the entire TCLA community for helping me achieve this
