    That’s an unfortunate quirk of Vantage - they never update from “submitted” so it’s impossible to tell from that page I’m afraid. It’s really unclear. If you applied separately though then I wouldn’t give up hope. Sounds like they’ve just run through a batch of open day-ers so unless you get...

    Oh that’s frustrating. Did you/could you apply for both on the same form? Wonder if it’s worth checking with GR

    30 apps already - you’re an absolute machine! Well done you. This is bound to be your year 🤞 W&C didn’t open until 1 Oct so double check that. However, I can confirm they’ve been quite clever/sneaky. The link to the test is contained within the automated application submission email you get as...
