Hey - at the end of mine she said they were still interviewing this week and wouldn't make decisions until they had completed all interviews. I guess we'll hear end of this week/next!
How did yours go?Hey - at the end of mine she said they were still interviewing this week and wouldn't make decisions until they had completed all interviews. I guess we'll hear end of this week/next!
From memory, it used to be considerably longer. I have known one of the folks in GR at Macfarlanes though and they mentioned to me at the end of the last app cycle that they were thinking about shortening it so I think that must just be what's happened.
I had mine on the 31st December and she said we could expect to hear during the week commencing 11th January... so fingers crossed soon!

Just to confirm for everyone wondering, Flora is right! For my WVS, NRF's GR told me that this year they have decided to make decisions after interviewing all the telephone interview candidates(previously they made decisions as they interviewed candidates along the way rather than waiting)
I had to wait 2 weeks for an AC i believe as my telephone interview was on the first week but after that the process was faster
Good luck to all!

Literally going insane waiting for Bakers' response!
I applied on the 13th December and did the WG on the 24th. My application now says last updated 11th January (yesterday), so honestly no idea! I know they've handed out some rejections though so no news is good news at this stage I would say
Hey - I think it was okay, one of the ques threw me off a bit but fingers crossed! What about you?How did yours go?

Same! I know the VI didn't go well, and I have a GDL exam tomorrow - still isn't stopping me from fixating lol!
Mine was the same.. it was very short haha!
I wouldn’t worry to much about the ‘last updated’ thing. It’s just an online system and could honestly mean anything so don’t let it worry you! Best to just wait for an actual response from grad rec.
Same! I'm not feeling overly optimistic at this point but it would be good to know either way so I can move onLiterally going insane waiting for Bakers' response!
It's hard to say without commentary specifically from Grad Rec - I expect that a reasonable amount of importance will be placed on the VI. In my opinion, you had to get through the WG to get a VI, so that's a benchmark already passed. However, if they have a lot of candidates who all have VI's of a similar standard, I expect they will look at the whole application more holistically!
Oh no! Best of luck.
I have a meeting with Weil in about 2 hours to discuss collaborations and I *hope* I don't get the rejection email then. Don't wanna look a mess in front of another (potential) employer Just wondering when did you complete the VI?
