I did the SJT Dec 17 so nearly 5 weeks ago. They sent dozens of PFOs since then so idk lmao. This is my question for Milbank’s grad rec team:

 

[trainee4u]

cant tell if this is some GR fancy language or they're still considering apps and sending out invites

I just received my SJT invite today (applied last minute, obvs)

 

[SamiyaJ]

I wanna dance too lemme join in

Guys i did hfw ac on Wednesday abd havent received a response yet. Is this a bad sign?

Wait do u mean WFW or HFW? i did not know HFW have sent ACs out

 

[corporatecoupon]

Email grad rec

 

[TCGrad1642]

No ACs yet, ugh I think I have to apply to more firms

Same here, dont stress it!

 

[user24710026]

Given other people are receiving Links ACs, reckon now is a bad time to ask them for my WG score?

 

[TCGrad1642]

Yeah very confused by Milbank tbh, I did WG ages ago and a fair few load of invites to ac were sent out prior so unsure how rolling they really are and what to expect. More transparency from firms would just ease the stress/worrying so much!

 

[I’m a celebrity get me out of here - VS/TC edn]

personally I’m manifesting a Weil AC

same bro same 🫩

 

[a1289]

Kennedys AC for London!

Nah I asked them today and they got back within a few hours

 

[tc2026]

did ppl get a confirmation email after the critical thinking test w Millbank ?

 

[tc2026]

btw how much notice does links give?
(for AC's)

 

[startupgeek]

Milbank not progressing me to stage 2 but also not rejecting me… Just what are we Milbank? U want me or u want me not?

 

[fc.c92]

Anyone heard back from AG post voice interview?

 

[Ancika]

Has anyone received a Baker’s VI invite? If so, when?

They're just like my ex fr #StrikinglyConfusing

I’m sorry to tell you, but I’m afraid you’re in a situationship with Milbank

(Also same never heard post stage 1 test and I did it first week of December)

 

[TortillaTC]

Why are so many of us in this position... just reject us if you hate us that much...

Not to sound big-headed in any way but I really don't get how I flopped the SJT... it really wasn't hard lol

Same, I feel like I did really well. I also prepared both written answers in advance so defo did well on those.

They must have had a very strict benchmark for the simulation questions to filter people out. I’m thinking 1-2 errors max else you’ll fail.
