I applied an hour ago. I know their first test is supposedly automatic?I have applied on the 20th of this month but still haven't received anything. When have you applied?
Anyone who did receive it, how long did it take?

That's what I don't get. If they're automatic shouldn't we be getting them right after we apply? Or maybe a day later max ? Idk it's been a week for mine. Also since they're rolling, I'm wondering whether they chose to not send out invites anymore. Any insight on this from anyone will be helpfulI applied an hour ago.

They’ll receive 50% of their applications over the next couple of days. I doubt they have stopped sending out their automatic tests- as they’ll be inundated with emails from people applying. I’m sure we’ll get it! 🤞That's what I don't get. If they're automatic shouldn't we be getting them right after we apply? Or maybe a day later max ? Idk it's been a week for mine.

Is 2 months ahead of the deadline too early to send in a DTC application to a non-rolling firm?
They’re automatic in the sense that everyone gets one — as far as I know, they’re sent out manually, and the grad rec team is tiny, which is why there tends to be a fair bit of delay.That's what I don't get.

I haven't yet but most of the emails we got were later in the afternoon so I assume we'll hear back later todayHas anyone heard back from Winckworth Sherwood? Thought we were supposed to hear back by today
Perfect, thank you Ram!!Hiya @Legallywhatever
It’s definitely not too early. Two months ahead of the deadline is actually a great time to submit a non-rolling DTC application, as long as you’re confident it’s in strong shape. The key thing is quality. If you feel the application is already well thought out and polished, then there’s no reason to hold back. But before you send it off, I’d suggest going through it line by line with fresh eyes. Sometimes taking a bit of distance from what you’ve written can help you spot areas that could be clearer or more compelling.
If you can, I'd also recommend asking someone else to review it as well, since having another perspective can really highlight things you might not have noticed (e.g. small wording tweaks or gaps in your reasoning). You’re in a good position time-wise, so make the most of it by giving the application one final, thoughtful check before submitting.
Best of luck with the application!

AC invite - that's really fantastic news. You could try explaining to them. I'm sure it happens quite often. Still, @Jessica Booker might know more. Good to see K&S making decisions. What're their dates out of interest?K&S invited me for AC just now, but they run ACs on the dates when I have the vac scheme, so it looks like I will not be able to attend😭
you were one of us, and now you aren't. many congratulationsHumblebrag/mushy post alert…
Just found out I’ve secured a DTC. Incredibly excited to be getting off this carousel!
Just wanted to say thanks to this place for keeping me sane over the last few months. From sharing advice to hyping each other up, this place has been a reminder that there are still good people in the world (or on the internet at least)!
Thanks to @Jaysen for the commercial awareness course, I nailed my CA questions because of it and to @Amma Usman for helping me smash PE with your private equity guide and @Jessica Booker for general sanity checking!
That’s it for my Oscars acceptance speech. *cuts to commercials*
they gave three dates to choose from: 7, 8 and 9th of April. I think they have just 3 ACs this year and if I cannot make any of those, they won't schedule another for me. But anyway I will try to ask for an alternative date.AC invite - that's really fantastic news. You could try explaining to them. I'm sure it happens quite often.
