Hi, don't usually post here but was looking for some insight, for the first time in I think 2 application cycles, I've actually score open days application acceptances.
I'm just curious, since I hear these are competitive, if one could take these as indication of the firm seeing you as an potential candidate?, cause honestly I could really use that boost, because applying into the void is exhausting sometimes XD

Hello!

Congratulations on securing those open day offers - that is a fantastic achievement! They are genuinely competitive (and often more than you think!), so the fact that you’ve been selected shows that you can write a strong application and respond effectively to what firms are actually asking (which are key skills for vacation scheme applications).

It’s definitely an encouraging sign that they see potential in you, so I would absolutely take it as proof that you’re on the right track!

Congratulations again, and I hope the open days go well! :)
