    Do you know if you can definitely reapply within the same cycle? I haven't been able to find anything on their website which says one way or the other but that might just me! I'd also be interested in applying again if possible

    Hi, I completed mine last night. I think the system is very Americanised and I accidentally selected "law school" or "JD" to enter my uni details as I did law as an undergrad. I don't think it matters too much because all my uni details, with my grade breakdown, are on my CV.

    I've not heard and I also noticed that post. Since it was deleted and nobody else has posted, I'm assuming that everyone is still waiting

    Ah, thanks. Same to you. I have to remember that I still have plenty of time for direct TC apps as well 🤞🏻

    It's one of the last VS applications I am waiting to hear back from so the pressure is on. I'm scared that I am getting my hopes up too much even though so much time has passed since the VI that I can hardly remember how it went haha

    Hey, does the holding email say anything about when to expect an outcome? I've done the VI but not received the email.

    I have a lot of my workwear from H&M and Mango also do nice blouses:) Abercrombie do really good quality tailored trousers, especially petite sizes, but they are a bit more pricey.

    Hi, no cover letter for Winstons. There are 3 application questions you need to upload on a Word doc and I think you need to upload a CV too.

    Some of the Fladgate personality assessment questions felt like they were straight out of an NHS mental health self-assessment. It asked me to respond to statements like “I feel worthless” and “I often feel blue”. Strange 🫤
