Hi everyone, I've been offered an AC for Slaughter and May DTC in March (applied 9th November). Just wondered if anyone knows why they're so far in advance (I am concerned)? Has anyone else had this?

wow!! congrats! i haven't even heard back for their summer work experience scheme haha, that's truly so early

Thank you! I think the summer work experience is done completely differently, dont worry - I know people who have already been assessed and accepted/rejected this cycle for the DTC. March seems extremely late to be interviewed to me! Essentially, I am worried that by that point, all their spaces will be filled.

ooh that is a valid concern - but I'm sure they offered you an interview for a reason! they wouldn't if they didn't see the potential in you! That would be irresponsible of them to fill all the spaces while knowing they still have people to interview in my opinion lmao
