    Has anyone who applied for the spring scheme not heard back either way?
    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 :)

    Sorry this is a bit random but I applied for one of HSF's open days back in November which I was successful for but I got an email just now saying that my passed the benchmark for the open day and my application is now being reviewed. There wasn't a test for the open day and I completed the test for the vacation scheme and got the 'passed benchmark' email a couple of weeks ago. I'm a bit concerned something went wrong with my apps, did anyone else get this?

    It is possible this is a glitch, are you able to check the portal?

    I got this too! I already got rejected for the spring scheme so I assume its a glitch.

    Was it for the innovative open day?

    I just checked and it now says my open day application is also under review. I think there might have been a glitch with my account because when I signed in they made me reset my password. Do you think it's worth emailing the Graduate Recruitment Team about it or should it be fine?
