    Post-AC rejection just came through. Best of luck to the rest of you and I hope those of you on the VS have a lovely time!
    Thank you so much for sharing, may I ask if you got the decision via an email or a phone call? I was told that they are going to schedule a call with me in the next two working days and I am nervously anticipating whether it would be good or bad news...
    Good luck with all your other applications!!!

    Thank you! I got it via email, I think they phone the successful candidates and email the unsuccessful ones.

    Hi I just received this from A&O direct TC! I really don’t know what does it mean! Does it mean I pass the SJT or everyone had it? Thanks!

    I got that a month ago from A&O summer VS, still haven't heard back! Hopefully you have more luck than me
