Doesn't matter.. I received the rejection

Me too.

Too early a celebration rip!!

 

[laby201]

And there's the PFO 🤣 🤣

 

[rjay]

PFO! We go again!

 

[laby201]

Just out of curiosity, with the CC rejection/acceptance, does the Watson Glaser score come into account or is it just about passing the benchmark? Say if you just scraped the benchmark, they'll consider you, but it may still count against you if people had better scores say? Or was it just based off your academics, extracurriculars and work history, and that was the entire basis of their decision if you passed the WG?

Unfortunately guys that’s life, we will receive so many rejections before a firm will say Yes. We just need to take it on the chin and keep applying, trying to improve and tweak the strategy for success when needed. I wish you all the very best in future applications and pray that we all get favourable outcomes this cycle

And there's the PFO 🤣

Bit of a shame if it is a PFO from CC, I thought my application was quite strong.

Same.. could write a whole book on these MC firms pretending to be diverse

 

[F12M34L]

I am starting to think that i just dont fit the profile of what mc firms are looking for.
I thought my app for ao cc hsf were all quite strong and passed all the tests but everything has been pfo.
maybe its because of my grade or the fact that i am a mature student but dont think I'll apply for mcs now

theyre looking for influencers

I know it comes across as bitter, but sometimes I don't understand the process, which is what makes it even more frustrating. At this stage, as long as you've passed the WG benchmark, how are they separating people other than your work experience, academics, and extracurriculars? I just don't know if they're looking for something specific. Ah well, we all just have to look at it as their loss!

That's literally what I am thinking - its more like damned if you're a undergrad, damned if you're a postgrad or career changer. Simply don't understand their benchmark and selection process.

I doubt considering I was in the 99th percentile and got a PFO loool

I know someone who is in 1% percentile and made it through to VI.. so

Surely they didn't pass the WG benchmark if they were in the 1st percentile?!

Perhaps they're looking for extracurriculars that show a very particular kind of person - who knows? 🤣

CC Video interview

 

[SoNash]

how do you find out your percentile?

I don’t believe they sent test reports back this year, but they did last year and I didn’t have to redo it this time around cause I passed the first time. They sent as a pdf like this

 

[IwantaVacSchemePlz]

CMS WG whoop

 

[SemperParatus]

Has anyone still not heard from a&o? thanks

 

[BM99]

Has anyone still not heard from a&o? thanks

Well considering some people have received PFOs last weekend, maybe we will receive something tmr too

 

[F12M34L]

how do you find out your percentile?

Email them- they will send the report.
