    Yes, Jessica has advised me on this. Just seeing if there are any others with similar experiences. I certainly didn't sign a contract knowing I would not be able to fulfil it - people's circumstances can change and much better opportunities often arise.

    Does anyone know if you apply to an insight scheme at Hill Dickinson whether you can still be considered just for the AC? Or is it just a straight rejection if you don't get the scheme itself?
