Haven’t even done an AC just the VI! For people getting ACs did you have very high marks in the post VI feedback report?

Not really tbh - i think my VI must have made me get through maybe? good luck!

Congratulations and good luck!!!! When did you submit the wg as I haven’t heard back yet?

Last Thursday

Very strange. I’m sure they won’t reject you if they see it is a technical error — just make sure you have screenshots of the VI page saying you have completed it so you can show them.

They do say after the VI that they will be in contact within 7 days. You should’ve heard back by 30 Oct, so hopefully grad rec can answer why that didn’t happen.

Also, don’t worry. If you got the email today you still have 2 days before they can make any other move/“reject”. Grad rec should reply by then.

If you’re still worried, you can send another email on high priority and attach screenshot evidence if you hadn’t before.

I hope it all works out!

Thank you so much for your advice!

Can I assume pfo from DLA now? They said they’d be in touch within 7 days from VI and we’re on the 9th day 😅

How long after submitting applications for DLA, Weil and W&C till people received responses?

 

[avaboles]

What kind of things have people included in the 1500-word W&C question about extra-curricular and positions of responsibility? I obviously don't want to waffle on so just wondering how much people had written because it seems silly that they would ask us to write a whole additional cover letter...

I applied to DLA on 10/10 and got a WG invite on 20/10

Hiya, when was your AC out of curiosity? I'm guessing I can assume PFO as I've heard nothing since the VI..

Same. Is it common (this is my first cycle) for no news to mean bad news or do firms usually let you know either way?

My first cycle too, but I've heard that a fair few firms never contact you if you don't get through

Ok given someone said they will get back by 20th I would wait until then before assuming PFO!

Has it opened yet?

I think I read that their direct TC apps open feb 2024.
