How many candidates does PWC take on their scheme?
I just attended their pre-AC induction presentation and someone asked a question regarding the intake this year.

So after the AC (around 70), 30 will move on to the next stage i.e. the partner interview. Following on from this, 17 will be selected for the summer vac scheme.

Hope this helps!

figured that someone eventually would notice my name is a figure skating move haha! yes, I used to be, not anymore though :( Retired because of studies. Hope your AC went well!
Amazing! I used to be a figure skater as well but, alas, also had to give up once I started my undergrad.

Btw does anyone know when we will hear back? I gather within a week, however, not sure whether I should expect a call towards the end of the week or sooner. I just keep stressing I am going to miss the call.
