I know this sounds stupid but I would just love a PFO right now - i have received radio silence from absolutely everywhere that I have applied to and I know that many of them have sent out interviews, ACs, VS offers already. I know my name is on a list of people who have been rejected, but it would just be lovely for them to actually send me an email to let me know!

    Is anyone else still waiting for a response from Weil post app ? I'm expecting a PFO at this point because I've seen people get to other stages on this forum but I am yet to hear back.

    I applied on the 3rd of December and was told by grad rec that they get back to me by the 10th of February

    DWF AC!

    My first ever AC and this is my third cycle! I set myself the goal of being invited to an assessment centre this cycle and I cant believe I have achieved it. Super chuffed!

    If anyone has any tips for the DWF AC please let me know.

    This is a huge achievement congrats!! Haven't done it so don't have any specific tips but really hope you ace it!
