Another cycle of second years finding out that submitting your app early confers no advantage. Just a longer wait!

Apropos of nothing, but I applied for Travers' 2020 WVS on the day it opened and got it. Correlation =/= causation ofc.

Is it normal to save a draft for a non-rolling app and to get a message saying:

"Your application has been added to your saved applications. It is available to complete for the next 30 days.
Please complete this application within the next 30 days."

I had no idea firms imposed a time limit on when you must complete the app...

It’s part of a data protection process - it’s more difficult for them to hold data on you when you don’t formally submit it.

Thanks Jessica.

Can I withdraw my draft at this stage (and still apply later) as I only wanted to view the questions but now I feel rushed to apply within 30 days...

The deadline is 31st December - had I known they had a time limit, I wouldn't have started the app so early.

Should i be worried about not getting a link to the sjt after application submission on the deadline? Do i need to contact the grad rec

HSF WVS PFO - makes 0 sense considering I passed the sjt and on track for a first. had my application triple checked too but oh well. harsh that they rejected me the first day after the deadline lmao

Should have had it quadruple checked mate

Sometimes it’s just luck or ‘cultural fit’

i just did HSF test, and checked my portal and im 'under review'. does that mean ive passed, or does it go to under review before the test?

I got an email I passed it

 

[IwantaVacSchemePlz]

I got an email I passed it

how long did the email take, i finished like 10 mins ago. my portal says under review though, which i assume means they are looking at my app

Is anyone else still waiting for their WG results from linklaters? 🫣

 

[Turnthisstupidfatratyellow]

Is their app open

I'm not sure sorry!
