@Jessica Booker Hi Jessica, I recently applied for GT's training scheme, however, while I emailed them my cv, cover letter and uni transcript, i did not attach my high school transcript. the deadline just passed on the 19th. Should I email them now by attaching my transcript or should I wait for them to email me first? Thank you.
Hey May I ask if GT is rolling or not? Can’t seem to find info anywhere else.

I have found conflicting information regarding GT's application process. Some say its rolling basis while some say its non-rolling. If youre applying for the 2024 cohort, the deadline was on Friday the 19th. For the 2025 cohort, they have now extended it to June 2nd. Those who have applied for 2024, should hear from the firm by the 26th of May. Best of luck to us lol

Hopefully it’s non rolling cause I sent an email to grad recruitment weeks ago asking but haven’t received a response

@Jessica Booker / anyone else with insight:

How would you approach an interview question: 'tell us about a time you broke a rule" - it feels like a trick question and I can't think of a good example where I bended the rules in a positive way.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I’d try to think about anything where the rule is either outdated or not in people’s best interests anymore - that might help you identify something.
