If anyone had issues with the RS VI, grad rec have sent an email saying that they have contacted the VI platform to resolve the issues. Anyone who had issues will receive a separate email from them regarding what we have to do next! They were very apologetic and it looks like it won't have any affect on our standing within the process :)

Hi everyone,
Simmons said I had 7 full calendar days from last Tuesday to complete the tests and interview, which would mean I have to do them by the end of today. However, in a separate email, they said the link expires on the 22nd (Wednesday). Has anyone experienced something similar? Can I do the tests and VI tomorrow?

Yes GR teams are always very reasonable and accommodating when it comes to such things

I think people panicked a bit too much yesterday but of course I understand the stress when it comes to such things 😅

I'm in the same position as you. I got the email on Monday, saying from tomorrow you'll have 7 calendar days. Does that mean Tuesday included or starting from wed?

HSF AC!!!!!!!!! it's my first ever AC
I am definitely biased...

But I am so chuffed for you re: HSF! Amazing news!! 🥳🥳

Very happy to answer any questions in the lead up to the AC- just tag me!

In my experience it was one of, if not the, most enjoyable of the interviews I did!
