    They have a large intake and have the same application form for Spring/Summer so I would be surprised if there’s just 3 AC dates for London, even if there are multiple time slots on each.

    Hmm do I apply for another vacation scheme today or apply to be on The Traitors? 🤔

    Willkie Written Exercise after I did my VI 3 weeks ago and had given up hope. 😅

    I was considering whether to look at SARs to get scores/feedback firms wouldn’t otherwise give. Is this a good idea though or just likely to annoy the companies? Has anyone gained useful information by doing these that has helped with applications, or are they just a distraction?

    I do this and I also check for missed calls too. 😅

    I know some people have heard back from Withers after-test. I’m hoping that’s just for Spring though? Has anyone heard for summer?

    Ah sorry yes. I was just making a general point about direct TC apps that might close in June, and then Winter Vac ones which open from August/September.

    So in an extreme case, you could be applying to the same firm 3 months apart?

    I’m assuming that though, for them to invite you to WG, it must be possible for you to get a score which means you’re likely to get an interview (which is a good way of looking at it!) For some people that may be 32/40 though and for others, 38/40. Who knows!

    It’s not a VI, the next stage is an interview on zoom. They’ve already marked our applications before inviting people to the WG so I think they will look at those marks in conjunction with your WG score to decide who to interview.

    Anyone heard back who did the Reed Smith VI/SJT in the last week? Thanks!

    Yes. The WG isn’t automatic sadly, so I’d assume a PFO.

    I’m afraid I don’t know in your case.

    I’m in the same camp of not hearing back. Unfortunately there have already been ACs (let alone AC invites) so I’m definitely assuming a PFO.

    I wouldn’t. Maybe stick a label over the firm name if that’s the only water bottle you have?
