I also checked all the major news outlets and read through any new developments on my topics of interest ( but I didn't need to use the information in my interviews anyways, however it is better to be...

    Also, has anyone heard of them giving out a PFO yet? I don't know many people who did the CC AC but most have got offers or are waiting to hear.

    For those that have gotten offers from CC - are any of you not in your penultimate? I have this feeling that maybe they are first giving offers to penultimates and filling any left spaces with others (graduates and final years)

    I really do think that CC is only calling those that are successful first. I haven't seen anyone post about a post-ac rejection (unless people haven't posted if they have been rejected)

    For people that have done a CC AC - how did you prep for the written exercise. I am soo scared that I won't have time to read it all and write a page letter/memo/brief 😪 Any advice will be strongly appreciated.

    Lol the rejection itself I am neutral about but it was more about me not receiving the email (it says on the platform I was rejected over a week ago).
