    Yeah, you're not the only one! Seen a few people on here saying that A&O's grad rec told them it was non-rolling. Not sure what's going on- though I think they were having tons of tech issues with SJT results coming through? Any luck hearing back after your email?

    Can anyone shed light on how A&O's timings are working this year? People have recalled grad rec saying it's non-rolling, then the website saying it's rolling, and then of course everyone's getting SJT invites/app outcomes at different times. The date you applied seems to have no bearing on it...

    I think they verify A-Levels, especially if they have a minimum grade requirement. Not sure about GCSEs though!

    Plenty of people get TC offers without vac scheme experience. I've attended TC interviews with zero vac schemes. Go for it.

    Don't worry- HSF's reports usually come out with something like this. 9 times out of 10, SJT reports make inaccurate, broad-brush and unfair statements about your personality. I'm sure HSF are well aware of this- I'd be surprised if it was the lone decisive factor determining your application's...

    Dw they're snails at replying usually - I suspect their inbox is full of kean bean first year students asking them for tips on how to write a good vac scheme application. They're a lot more responsive if you call them. I left a voicemail (was having issues with the SJT) and they called me back...

    I went to the L&W open day in december 2019. There was a LOT of structured networking, including a networking lunch and a speed networking session. They also talked a lot about their diversity & inclusion initiatives, more so than anything you'd find about it online. I'd say learning about...

    Nope, you have to pass the SJT before your app is considered :) congrats!

    Don't worry about it. I didn't hear back with an email until two days ago, and I applied well over a month and a half ago! Seems like their timelines are really quite inconsistent this year
