Sorry about that! Good luck for your other apps. Sorry to ask the classic question but when did you apply?

Sorry ! Do you mind disclosing at what time and day you heard back?


Sorry to hear! And to add to that, when did they get back to you?

No problem, should have included to begin with :D

Applied 6/12 and heard back 40 mins ago!

I applied for A&O on the 2nd of December but have heard absolutely nothing since passing the Situational judgement test :( does anyone know when they typically stop running ACs?

    Hi, hope everyone’s having a good weekend! For “share a non academic interest or achievement and what it’s taught you about yourself”, I wanted to talk about steps I took to rise to a challenge at work which helped me get a promotion. For the second part, would it be ok to explain that I’ve learned that I enjoy working under pressure and that tight deadlines really motivate me. It’s all true, I’m just not sure how to make it not sound like I’m BSing. Thank you!

    Hi - I answered a similar que to that on my Bird & Bird app and I approached it like that. I'm happy to share my answer with you if that would be helpful :)
