    Completed DLA WG 25th and haven't received a feedback report or a pass email yet. Should I take this as a fail?

    I haven’t received a confirmation email or feedback report from DLA after completing the test today. Should I be concerned that I may not have passed?

    Hi Abbie, they did have me provide a year and modular breakdown for the open day so i assume it would be fine? I’m just unnecessarily worried due to how much more challenging getting a vac scheme with the firm is haha

    Since I was accepted onto a selective open day, should I be worried about my grades when applying for the firm's vacation scheme?

    Is there any point in applying to CC if you haven't done an open day or virtual internship with them?
