Hi, I was just about to post the same question.

I understand the deadline to complete the video link is 13th April (Thursday). Most other firms from what I have researched usually give successful applicants 5-7 days to complete.

On this basis I'm assuming we have been unsuccessful, perhaps someone else may have better insight and give us hope.

Hey - congrats to you too!

Yes, I was also a bit confused as to when to reply re slots - but, as they do not mention any deadline, I decided to reply once I submit the VI. I thought that anyways they won’t start to schedule anything until they watch the VI :) But I am sure there is no harm if you want to submit it before the VI.

I have a 6 day essay, due Tuesday.

I'm planning on doing my interview either tomorrow or Saturday.

Today I received a reminder link.

Do you think it looks bad that I haven't done it straight away? I'm assuming there's a deadline for a reason.

I got the reminder as well - I think it’s just an automatic thing they send to everyone who hasn’t done it yet to ensure the mail didn’t get lost in your inbox or something.

I don’t think it will reflect badly on you (or me) - like you said there is a deadline for a reason.

Has anyone heard back post VI? I know some rejections went out last week - but I got an email saying I’d hear back 26th and then the 28th (for interviews starting 1st) but no confirmation if I’ll be allocated a slot or anything
