Thanks for the tag @Dheepa! @SB144 For context I'm currently working full time in Compliance, and I can honestly say the quality of my apps has gone up just by the amount of professional experience I can mention, as well as the commercial awareness I've gained just by being involved in business...- Sebastian Clark

Try not to get too disheartened! This cycle has honestly been mad in terms of numbers, and it’ll be arbitrary/tiny things I’m sure that mean your applications aren’t progressing. I’m the same, I’ve had only 3 VIs this cycle out of 12 vac scheme applications and they’ve not progressed - I’ve...- Sebastian Clark

Thank you! I have been using the application review service extensively, and I did get to the VI stage for 3 apps. Unfortunately I think it’s largely my poor GDL grades - with so many more apps this year it’s just easier for firms to filter out slightly out sub par grades to cut the numbers...- Sebastian Clark

I take it they’re doing ACs on a rolling basis? Because they’re accepting apps up until may no?- Sebastian Clark

Would advise against - I did it while working part time, and while I definitely underestimated the requirements of the course, I was still doing long hours with no respite. I ended up with slightly sub par grades from not spending as much time on the course as I should have, which in a...- Sebastian Clark

It’s definitely hard - I tend to go for a run/walk when I finish at around 6:30ish (usually) just to recharge my brain a little bit before the evening application shift, as well as putting in a decent effort over the weekend. I think I’m going to have to start targeting firms more carefully -...- Sebastian Clark

IM’s application length put me off as well 😂 and I guess the opposite effect of this is that WBD will have a mountain of applications to get through 👀- Sebastian Clark
