APC holding email gave me a heart attack, please don’t start a holding email with the words ‘we are writing to you with an update on your application…’

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo sui]

Does anyone have a list of firms that dont require app questions or cls? like links etc

Slightly confused by APC holding email, how can they conduct ACs after 6th Nov when scheme starts under a month later??

 

[rdas]

does HL ask the same questions in every VI (stage 3)?

They don't. They go through the stages way before then but do a mass PFO after when decisions are basically already made

about 2 weeks ago i think

By Stage 2 do you mean the online test (SJT + WG) or the online assessment centre?

dumb question but with MoFo’s form, they ask for your first year average but have a selection of either 60-64% or 65-69%. my average was 64.8, should i round up or down? i don’t want to accidentally come across as dishonest !!!

I would round up. They haven’t set their bounds clearly so just go for the nearest.

When would you predict (I know you probs can't but just a guess) they will start doing Acs just cuz I have had other AC invites for winter already

do you know if you can still apply if you averaged a 2:2 instead?

From their website:

‘We ask that you be on track for, or to have already achieved, a minimum of a 2(i) degree (or the equivalent if you are studying/have studied outside the UK) and a minimum of AAB (or equivalent) at A Level. There is the option to add mitigating circumstances to your application. We are also pleased to confirm that we use Rare’s Contextual Recruiting System (CRS), which allows us to understand your grades within the context they were achieved. The firm encourages applicants from a wide variety of backgrounds.’
