Applied very late for BCLP and received the first round test invite, is it just a SJT, or is there reasoning in it as well?

you’re there because they see your potential and you should take confidence just from that

This will sound weird but I remember getting feedback from a rugby coach when I went for national trials (I wasnt successful) and they said that I had the talent, I just let the occasion get the better of me as I put the event/other players on a pedestal. To that end, it always helps me to remind myself in these situations, that GR/Partners etc are only human too! They were in your spot once and really, they just want you to do the best you can! Understanding that at least, helps I think to reduce anxiety massively.

Don’t forgeat, pre game (AC) nerves can be good and I’m sure once you get into your flow & settled you’ll shine. good nights sleep (if poss), get something down you beforehand if you can and remember you’ve put the graft in and thats all you can do.

I have total faith in you, and I wish you the best of luck!

I have not yet heard back from Gowling. I believe they said we'd hear back in the week commencing 14 Feb - so I presume that means it could be any day this week (painful). Were you told the same - or were you specifically told 14th?
