just ask chatGPT to write the prompt

Then you need to work on the perfect prompt to get chatgpt to write the perfect prompt.... and I don't want to do that, so I'll ask for the prompt for the prompt.... 🤣

The deadline is Jan 31 and they’re non-rolling so they’ll probs take a few weeks to review all of the apps before sending AC invites out. AC dates are on their website (see below). The first one is early March so invites might be sent by at least the end of Feb maybe?​

I imagine week commencing Feb 23 is when they will send the invites out

Friends are trying to plan holidays/birthdays and every VS application seems to clash with a first day or last day…

I’m not even that far along in the process to know how likely it will be that I’ll be free or not 😭🤣

I randomly decided to review my katten app today and noticed i somehow put the wrong date for my internship (2021, when it was actually in 2025 lol). The internship was quite serious and I did it after I graduated, but with the incorrect date it seems like i've got quite a bit of an employment gap after graduation....But it's been a month since I submitted the app, would it be weird to email atp?

@abc124 I wouldn't really sweat at this stage, and I don't think they're going to be taking into account employment gaps before making a decision - that's usually checked before you start the role. However, if you think that you correcting the date potentially changes the way your application is reviewed, then email them and amend it. You don't want any "What if's" during this gruelling process.

Does anyone have advice to improve amberjack sjt? I always get high verbal and numerical but struggle to crack 20 on the pillars so I don't get progressed. I researched the pillars, firm culture, and what they look for each time and I still score low annoyingly
