    Thank-you James! The last two weeks of waiting have been slightly agonising, but such a relief to hear good news! 😁 Very much looking forward to getting stuck in now!

    Thanks to everyone who has shared info on W&C! The firm seems to be getting through the backlog now, and I'm sorry to hear bad news for fellow applicants. Chin up and keep the faith! Still have no news, but I guess the next batch of candidates will hear something tomorrow...

    Personally, I go for a suit and tie... Maybe go without the jacket if you want to be a bit more relaxed. Better to be overdressed than underdressed, I think.

    Sorry to raise this again, but has anyone heard from W&C post AC? For context, AC was 13 days ago!

    Thank-you! I'm coming up to a couple of weeks after interview now and am excited to hear back! How do grad rec make a decision on who to invite onto VS - I'd be grateful for your insight!

    Thank-you for calling! This situation is strange - surely it makes more sense to notify people in the order in which they were interviewed? As you know, the wait after interview is so draining! Really hope we get some good news next week!

    I'm equally surprised as my AC was last Tues and I still have not heard anything...

    Head up and remember it's not personal! Each app will be better than your last and much of this process is reliant on luck!

    Links PFO as well! Thought I nailed WG and completed the Capp assessment logically and honestly...but onwards and upwards!

    Agreed - mine was approx 850 and progressed. I would say be reflective and critical - trim away anything that doesn't 100% add value. Sometimes less is more!

    That's a fair point actually! Early Oct feels like v. early in the grand scheme of things..but Links is non rolling anyway! I am not discounting anything rn, as we haven't heard back!

    I sent off my app v. early (on 7th Oct) and still no word...

    Well, the info in the email is inaccurate, as I, and others, haven't heard anything... Strange...

    Are they talking about a specific AC or all ACs for WVS? I can say they have not gotten back to everyone, as it has been radio silence for me...

    Hey, When I was booking AC for W&C, the cut off date on the system was the 19th Nov. However, this could have been personal to me and/or easily changed to accommodate later applicants...
