    Good to know we’re in the same boat!!! I can’t remember when they said we’d hear back? Looking at the student room discussion someone said this week? Also how did your AC go!! :)
    I believe grad rec said this week! I really don't think mine went very well so I'm expecting a no tbh :( I struggled with the questions about the case study and it threw me that they didn't ask me why CC! How did yours go?

    I thought the time to write the e-mail was ridiculously short!!! They asked me why CC and gave me a v thorough grilling reg commercial awareness ! But tbf the interviewers were so down to earth so that put me at ease. You’re just being hard on urself I’m sure! Good luck :)

    sorry if this question has been asked before but how is the best way to go about emailing for an update on an interview outcome (been 2 weeks since) because you need to confirm/reject another employment offer ASAP that clashes with the dates of the place you interviewed at? thank you!

    In an interview is it good to mention specific names of people you have spoken to at events?
    It depends on the context. Sometimes it doesn’t add any value to what you say - particularly if you are leading with them/what they told you, rather than your analysis of what they told you/why it is relevant to you.

    Exactly as you have described is appropriate.

    Call them and explain you are keen to understand when you might get an update from your interview as you need to make some decisions on another offer you have received.

    Be mindful they may tell you to accept it anyway (knowing that you can later renege it).
