    Well before hand. You'll have a very solid 10 days to prepare the presentation, and it's only 5 minutes with three topics to choose from

    V&E Vac Scheme Offer!! Wow - is there anything better in this world than going F#*^ I see the rejection email only to click it and get the spot?!?? A nice change from the 12 or so other rejections I’ve received!

    Had Grace, Andrew and Peita. I thought all of them were genuinely interested in hearing what I had to say (even if the answer wasn’t what they were looking for) and the office was outrageous hahahaha

    Would be surprised if not. Had a couple of people here earlier today say they haven't heard back yet post interview and neither have I. Others in the forum say they were told EOM. I was told I'd found out by the end of last week by GR a couple of weeks ago so should be just around the corner

    NRF VS OFFER! Bit late to the party but I was on a flight. As someone who’s received over 20 rejections, I can tell you that you should ignore the people gawking about “omg just got my 5th vac scheme! So happy! Time to grind my next AC”. Good for them but that’s not 99% of us, we only need 1! We...

    I did my WG test around 13-17 Jan and haven't heard from them (Akin Gump for those that just tuned in) since. Have emailed once or twice to no avail. Considering they have a small intake, and people have been talking about AC/VS, I'm classing myself firmly as a PFO

    My Post above about W&C relates to Spring scheme and I assume they're going to interview potential spring schemers first, so dont worry!

    Just got a PFO from Hogan Lovells despite having 2 degrees (1st Class in my first degree and 2.1 in Law at an oxbridge uni) AND scoring high 90s percentile in my WG test with them.
