Any updates on summer schemes guys?

Hi! I got a rejection for the summer scheme last Wednesday so they have started sending them - hopefully, like everyone else has said, no news is good news for you!

It’s non-rolling so it doesn’t matter, I applied on the deadline for spring scheme and got an AC!

I think they’re probably sorting out spring first so don’t worry! No news is good news ​

Anyone else heard anything for summer VS?

Just got my rejection for Spring, feeling a bit deflated. Good luck to everyone who's not heard!

What's a PFO?

What's a PFO?

It’s slang for rejection

Edit: found the answer

I am not sure if anyone has completed an AC yet but if so, can you offer any tips or guidance?

What's a PFO?

Stands for "Please F... Off", it's a tongue-in-cheek way of saying you got a rejection

Just wondering how many have heard about summer and how many are still waiting to hear?

For summer, I don't think many people have heard back to be honest...

Congrats on the AC! When did you apply and do the test if I may ask?

Sorry to hear! Hope you're feeling okay about it, rejections are never great! HSF knocked me back post-AC and it was definitely the rejection I took hardest.

It actually didn't even upset me that much because I was asking to be considered for a direct TC when they normally only hire through their vac scheme, so I knew I'd have to be a big stand-out candidate for them to give me a chance; plus, I have an AC for my top-choice firm tomorrow morning so that lessens the blow

Best of luck with the AC tomorrow! Sure you'll crush it. Fingers crossed for you!
