    Just wondered if there's a better name, than when I called it a "maybe pile" - I didn't want to give off any negative connotations by labelling it that! It sounds like they're at least somehow selective in who they sent the "Your application is of interest" to, so it's definitely a positive sign?

    It sounds like an encouraging email though - best of luck with your application!

    People who've applied to CC 2023 TC and either received a WG or the "maybe pile" email: Have you completed and passed the WG in previous cycles? I remember when I applied last year, I was skipped past the WG stage as I'd already passed the WG in a previous cycle (got rejected tho). Maybe this...

    Can anyone shed some light on the Dentons telephone interview?

    Low grades in two-three subjects, primarily as those Profs are generally known for marking low in my University. Should I explain this in my TC App?

    if you're averaging 65-70 you'll be fine anyway. I'm from a UK uni that is notoriously harsh on marking (they even sent out a letter to firms asking them to account for this). I'd probably save any explanations for mitigating circumstances you had, but also maybe provide an academic reference...

    Any Clyde PFOs? From what I've heard they're now prepping their spring/summer ACs, as well as holding spring/summer ACs for Academy students in december. Given that the VI took like an hour of our time (and we only got 3 days notice to frantically prep for it), could they not have at least...

    Does Reed Smith invite everyone to VI? At what stage do they review apps- or was my VI based only on my SJT score?

    Having been rejected by every single firm I've attended an Open Day at (in one cycle or another), they definitely don't indicate much in the way of positivity for that firm. That being said, Open Days are a positive sign that your application technique is good- why would a firm invest in you as...

    It was strengths based, took roughly 20 minutes and I think it was 4-5 questions. Can't remember any of the questions I'm afraid!
