    I think cutting at the prior stages is more likely than them inviting many to AC. Interviewing hundreds of candidates just seems inefficient for so few slots. Guess we'll find out soon!

    Thank you! So I applied quite early on as I submitted both my VS and my Liftoff application at the same time. I believe it was in October.

    I had one yesterday and I understand that they've only arranged 2 ACs so far which means only 12 ppl have been invited to AC. I believe they interview around 150 for the Summer schemes so I wouldn't worry! There'll likely be more invites made as they arrange more ACs

    Seeing a lot of people asking about the Travers wordcount. I did the SVS last year and wrote 860 words so definitely no need to reach the wordcount!

    Agreed! They might have randomly divided the applications between their team to review instead of doing it in chronological order. Its not over til you get the rejection email!
