Do you mean a person from the recruitment team at the firm? I just don't see why they would write the end of February in the email for London applicants if this was the case.
Hi Rob - I went to an American school but I took the IB so I typically write in those results in the A-level section and leave the GCSE section blank. However, in the 'Other Education' section, I explain that my school didn't have any equivalent exams at the GCSE level, and instead include my overall GPA for the 4 years. Not sure if this is 100% correct, but it's worked for me on a couple apps
I got rejected by PM Birmingham office at 11am today having applied quite a bit before deadline, so I think the previous comment might have been accurate but I don’t know if everyone else has heard. It went to my junk inbox btw so check that if you haven’t heard maybe.I'm not sure it is the best idea to comment what you have on here, when no one has any idea if this is true. You could make some people very anxious by saying they will be unsuccessful if they don't hear anything by 5pm today. I haven't heard anything from PM yet, but I also haven't seen anyone on here get any news who applied to the Manchester office like me. Those applying to London and Scotland seem to have received rejections and invites to the next stage, so it seems unlikely that other offices will automatically be unsuccessful if they haven't heard back by 5pm when not many applying to the regional offices seem to have heard anything yet.
Graduate Recruitment are probably just beginning to go through the applications for the regional offices so try not to worry if you haven't heard anything yet, no news is good news and it is not a rejection until you actually receive the rejection email! Stay positive everyone!
I think so for Scotland, I also heard back for Scotland on Tuesday and they gave two AC dates if successful in the test. I'm not sure if it's batches though either, as each office only had one AC date and you were to contact GR if you couldn't make it.
Don't say failed, don't be so negative to yourself. Let me edit that for you:PFO Pinsent Masons London VS
Considering starting my own thread: “I’m a 47 time failed applicant, ask me anything!”
The wait goes on.
Interesting, it never occurred to me to just omit that section.Hi Rob - I went to an American school but I took the IB so I typically write in those results in the A-level section and leave the GCSE section blank.

If you haven’t submitted your application, then fine to mention it in an application. Probably most suited to an extra information section or cover letter though. If you have already applied, then only do this if you can personally updated your submitted application. It isn’t worthwhile asking Grad Rec to update it for you or take the additional information into consideration if you can’t update it.
applied 28th December for reference.
I don't! They could still be going through applications (and probably are), I was just thinking because the Scottish offices are smaller, they'd be offering less places (I have no idea).
