Congratulations!! Can I ask when you applied and what for?

Super excited to have been offered a TC - only my second cycle but still felt like the most demoralising process at times - 7 assessment centres leading to 6 rejections over the two cycles but it only takes that one yes! Just here to spread a bit of positivity and give the reminder that even after all the rejections, it only takes one yes.

I still haven’t received any news from w&c, considering the vac scheme deadline, it’s making me so nervous, is anyone else in the same boat?

I’m in the same boat! I’m not sure whether to re-apply for the VS since I haven’t heard back for the TC yet..

Yep but I just updated my application, added some new examples and reworked my application and then sent it off again because I didn’t fancy risking it as they’re rolling.

Hi! I was wondering how you did this- did you just update it via the portal or did you send an email to Grad Rec? And is this usually possible for all rolling firms?
