I’m not sure why you would even say that in a sentence, as the grade would be on your application form.
but I got 60 in criminal would be the right version
There’s probably better ways of wording the sentence though
I just got a VS at Slaughters and I'm honestly soooo shocked because my interview was a car crash
Many congratulations! You probably thought it was a car crash because they were pushing you
Many congratulations! You probably thought it was a car crash because they were pushing you
Thank you!! I gave very stupid answers to some basic questions so they probably hadn't even got to the 'pushing' stage haha.
Good luck to everyone!
You must have impressed - your perception may be very different. Don’t put yourself down. You clearly deserved your place. Well done .
Slaughter spring rejection recently
Just need to get this out there - I received a rejection from NRF for their Summer VS which was my last hope this cycle. I don't want to dump my sadness into the thread with the amount of positive news people got today, but I feel that I am left with an empty tank and a bit unsure where to go after this. I am sure I will be fine eventually but just feeling really down that I haven't managed to see any real progress with my applications or success in the process for 3 years. I genuinely feel like I can't take many more of these setbacks so I am just gonna have to go over my options this weekend. I really didn't expect this cycle to end for me so abruptly but I appreciate the continued support in this amazing forum. I just hope maybe one day I can also share some good news as I have been working at this for a long time now. Of course, I never expected to grasp it instantly but as life goes on, it is hard to not to doubt my ability or motivation for the career I had set my sights on. I am really glad that so many of you have achieved great things this cycle and to those of you still waiting or in a similar situation I will say this - whatever stage you have achieved up to, you didn't get this far to only go this far! So I am sure it is only a matter of when rather than if! If anyone has any advice or can help me weigh up my options over this weekend or whoever you have any spare time I would be forever grateful.
Got a Travers interview invite this afternoon!- And I applied on the deadline if anyone wanted to know
