Well done to all those who got places on the Spring AC, anyone else still waiting to hear? Applied Dec 7th and nothing so shall i assume its bad news??
I only heard back today (successful) so I don't think you need to worry! I applied for the Spring Vac the day before the deadline (I can't remember the date) so only a couple of days after you I think

    Ah okay, thanks for letting me know! Hope you’re feeling alright about it and continuing strong?
    Ngl it was expected, they're not my top top choice and I have progressed for others so I'm not too disheartened! Also they did state in the rejection how they were looking for constantly high academics throughout university and admittedly I don't have that so I think I was an easy rejection!

    If it helps, I applied last year for the Spring Vac Scheme on 25 November and received the Assessment Centre invite on 31st January, with the AC being on 13th February. While some things might have changed from last year, there is no need to panic as it takes them a long time to review all of the applications :)

    For everyone anxious about hearing back, I'm just bumping what Karin said with my own experience: Applied around the 20th of November for the spring vac, my AC was in the last week of February (the actual invite sent out only five days before). No news is really really really good news in HSF's case :)

    Thank you Dheepa, and Karin, this has put my mind slightly at ease!

    thank you for this! What a crazy 5 days that must’ve been though?!
