macfarlanes.. wbu?

AOS ...

Hey I've not received PFOs yet from them whilst others have received it. Makes me wonder what's wrong on my app, especially AOS as I did the Amber better than expected. Ikr I messed up Mac VI, but not sure why the PFO hasn't yet to come, esp I was completing second test on 23/10

Congrats!!

I applied on 5 November but haven’t heard anything so definitely not semi-automatic! I’m expecting a PFO because despite having A*AA, I only got a low/mid 2.1 with multiple 2.2 grades and I can’t imagine that with removing all application questions, they aren’t looking for strong A levels AND at least a strong/high 2.1.

 

[Trophy]

Mark my words guys, I WILL get one more VS this year even if my life depends on it 😤 (self motivation)

Future elle come back to this by the end of this cycle

Many don’t even have 1 offer and you do. I wouldn’t stress as much.

Just checking again if Gibson has replied to anyone post-first stage interview, and how long it typically takes for their reply.

It probably depends on if you’ve got extenuating circumstances and/or flagged as contextual too, because I only have ABB A-levels and whilst I’ve gotten a high 2:1 in my degree, I had several 2:2 modules but I had mitigating circumstances. The majority of my modules were strong 2:1 or above but I had at least 4 2:2 module marks.​

You will most likely get an invite I got mines after 5 weeks of applying. You can have 2:2 modules as long as you graduate with a 2:1. This is coming from someone who had a blip and got a 2:2 twice, once 1st and 2nd year.

Lmao me neither. Tbf I think they are still taking apps and doing interviews. Most people apply in the final few days so it should be fine.​

I assume you applied for DTC? I think AOS are still working through them, tho I would've thought they finished sending AC invites by last week - maybe you can email if you still hear nothing back after a few more weeks

Yeah DTC, but I've seen many PFOs for 2028 already
