HSF 2019 Applications 'Topic Question'

Honestly so strange, have you heard of anyone being invited to an AC yet? Hoping for good news for you!
I have but not for a week personally. I reckon they probably sift and refine as they go along so I think it’s good we haven’t heard but it’s possible we are indeed maybes :) just best to sit tight and keep the faith in ourselves! Really hoping you get good news soon! I suspect we shouldn’t be waiting long now to hear back :)
 
Congrats Alice!

How did the AC go, what was the day like? (I hope you don't mind me asking) Did you get it?

I don’t mind at all. Sadly I did not get the vacation scheme which was a shame but I found the day to be quite challenging. My feedback was very positive strangely but I had a tough competency interview and was advised to be more concise in my responses moving forwards and so I’ve inferred that must have been why. Hope this helps :)

Thanks for getting back to me, appreciate it! Sorry to hear you didn't get it :(
