2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

Oh right! Thank you. I applied just at the deadline so probably won’t hear for a while.

I don't think that matters cause they are non-rolling. They just read what they see after the deadline and start making decisions.

Nope, I am in the priority pool. So they are starting to read them now - know a couple other people who have had emails today too.

Oh right thank you! Were any of them ACs?

I applied right on the deadline so not expecting anything soon.
