Any more links ACs?..

 

[llblawstudent]

based on your reasoning, you should say "there are two main reasons" only when you actually have 2 points to give lmao

I did this at an AC last year where I was like, yes I have learned 3 things. And then I finish my second point and say "thirdly.." and lo and behold, i had no third point. We sat in silence until the interviewers were just like, let's move on 😂 never again.

That is so useful tysm, I think it’s because I can probably come up with 2-3 points but when I’ve come to the end of the first and second my mind tends to blank. And as for your experience, omg I’m so sorry that happened, that’s happened to me so many times for VIs

same question, but I'm wondering for spring...am probs cooked lol

 

[elle woods]

wait if that happened to me i genuinely don’t think i’d ever recover 😭😭

😭 😭 😭 trust me, I've burrowed it in the deepest darkest corners of my mind HAHA

I've learned my lesson anyways...I was just too nervous at that AC since it was my first ever. It's definitely a dark history moment of mine...

This is quite specific, but has anyone applied to Akin on 22/12 or later and heard back?

 

[Hopeful applicant]

Guys if i did the cleary WG 1 month ago and haven't heard back is that a PFO...

Its not over till its over. They may have a set number of final AC's that they will give out but do not want to overlook potential good candidates who apply later.

Guys, FYI the account @rulebritannia reacting to this message with a like emoji is a scammer - just had a very disappointing convo with them in private where they clearly lied and then reported me after I called them on their BS😂

The lesson is DON’T take everything at face value on this forum. Yes most people posting are real and engaging in application convos to actually get ahead in the game and help others, but there are at least a few fakes. Be aware

Whatttt? Lied about what? What are they trying to get out of this forum lol #weird

 

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

@rulebritannia You seem to like every post of someone asking if they have heard back from a firm. Have you heard back from every firm this cycle or is this rage bait?

I am not sure what you have gained out of this - i am not a scammer - i just didn't want to share my test scores with you?

I know, it’s beyond me why people would do this, probably out of boredom.

(After I asked them very politely and said it’d be no issue if they refused) They said they won’t share their test scores because they signed a confidentiality agreement but the firm said in the AC invite email they were top 0.5%😂 Having interacted with their grad rec very closely for the past years, I know for a fact that RS would never share this info. Tbh no firms would share this and especially not pre AC/interview, but I can confidently say this is clearly a lie about RS.
