[lolololol]

V&E vi! any advice would be appreciated please

 

[Bottega_Veneta]

V&E VI, does anyone know if this is selective?

Congrats!! Out of curiosity, when did you apply?

 

[kukubird]

they said we should hear back by the 12th of feb

Did they say this during their open day? Also do you know what is after the application stage if anything?

 

[wetbread]

V&E vi, applied on day of the deadline

I got a jump scare from bakers (post test for summer). They emailed me my feedback report again.

 

[Miles Edgeworth]

Not to bring up Gowling again but…. I think maybe VS ACs are held in late February instead of Jan… that’s the most logical reason I can think of for why it seems no one has heard back post-VI (for the London VS)

What I don't understand is that it's a Spring VS so it doesn't make sense for the ACs to be in late February

I have accepted the fate that they are just poorly organised

 

[Ancika]

Bakers just resent my feedback report that I received after taking the psychometric (10 days ago) … was it supposed to be a rejection .. I guess we will see.

Thank you! VI in December AC today. Also guys I need advice the only slot available clashes with one my exams (its a stupid BPP resit for reference)

Nice! Just drop them an email, I did that with Denton’s and they found an alternative date for me

Hi guys, what do people typically wear to an assesment centre? I'm a girl and am thinking just a full suit but don't want to be overdressed. I am also worried about the collar on my shirt, I usually have the top buttons undone but it feels a bit messy. This is for a US firm if that helps

yes the only options were the 4/5th so I wld be v confident that they are doing batches
I did the WE nearer the start of last week as well and she said during the call that we would be likely to hear back earlier just because we did it earlier so I definitely wouldn't loose hope

Ah okay thank you!! I did it on Friday afternoon so fingers crossed!
