    Rejection from Macfarlanes Post AC - On to the next I guess

    If anyone wants help regarding the AC I have very detailed info, just PM
    If you could post your AC experience in the ‘Macfarlanes’ section of the ‘interviews discussion’ section of the forum I’m sure a lot of people would really appreciate it :)

    Has anyone heard back from HSF regarding the spring scheme. On student room, people have received AC invites but for the summer scheme? Has anyone completed an AC for spring yet?! o_O

    I haven't heard back yet. I've heard rejections and invitations were sent out. I suppose this means they are still going through applications.
