Has anyone got PFO from Simmons for the WVS. I haven't relieved anything yet but the scheme is so near I doubt any more ACs are happening?

Do the Mayer Brown tests have to be completed in one go? Or can I do SJT one day and the rest on the other?

If you have a VS secured for Spring but prior to that have already sent off a bunch of applications for Spring Schemes, at what point would it be advisable to ask for your application to instead be considered for the Summer Scheme?

Should you wait until you have secured the offer then ask? Or maybe explain at interview? Or just email Grad Rec as early as possible (at the application stage) to move your application from the Spring to the Summer Scheme?

Wait to see if you are invited to interview, and at that stage ask whether you can convert your application over to another programme (eg ahead of you booking in for an interview).

Is there a way to email grad rec for a firm to ask for an update on when they may be communicating decisions without looking pushy/prejudicing my application?

Not sure any have! It was a WVS but I was double booked so had to shift it to Spring.

Very sure that it was one go, after you do the SJT you instantly go on to the other stuff

Does anyone know if graduates can apply for NRF summer VS.

Does anyone know if graduates can apply for NRF summer VS.

I think graduates can only apply for their winter or spring scheme.
