Not necessarily, they may have just not been as busy so could review those ones quicker - there's still hope! :)

Completed the Mishcon VI at 3pm today and was invited to case study exercise two hours later! So surprised and excited, this is my last chance at securing a VS this cycle so would really really appreciate any tips for how best to prepare/what the case study involves. Thanks in advance :)

Rejection from Simmons VS London office - said they have filled all their places. Thinking I did slightly better this year though as last year my rejection was around the same time and said I hadn't met their bench mark so they couldn't progress my application. Onwards and upwards :)

WFW rejection post ac, bit gutted as it was my only ac invite this cycle but I learnt a lot and the feedback will be helpful. I’m still waiting to hear from Simmons and Mishcon but feels a bit late for those now so will start on direct tc apps, onwards and upwards!
