    Has anyone applied to Hogan for direct TCs? I applied for the direct TC and was sent the WGT a few days after, I completed it yesterday and am wondering how long they usually take to reply?

    Heard back just a few mins ago for the 2024 trowers TC lmao, rejected for the TC (rejected after the initial app) but the email said they were "impressed by my application and want me to apply to the 2023 vac scheme" - is this just a generic response they dish out? I assume it is.
