How is it best to structure this question? I had half a mind of doing bullet points, but with the limited word count i'm wondering whether it is better to write in prose so that I may touch on different things? Was just wondering what other people have been doing x

Post AC for Manchester although I think the early careers people are different for each officeAre you waiting to hear back after an AC or VI? I passed the VI december 19th and still waiting to hear if I got shortlisted for the AC in edinburgh
Hey, I’m in the same boat. From what I’ve seen, I think people do tend to hear back for AC within a week/10 days. While I can’t rule anything out as we haven’t been rejected yet, I think it likely either means we didn’t get through or we got waitlisted.
That being said, the actual deadline only just passed, so maybe they’re just going through the last minute written apps they received or waiting for the VIs from the people who applied after us? It’s tough to say but guessing the best strat is just to keep pushing forward with other firms for now.

Regardless of early morning Macfarlanes PFO, hoping some good news for us today!
i don't know when they opened but the deadline for both the london and virtual one was on the 1st Jan 2025.
I attended the london one and they did say you can withdraw your app after attending the open day if you want to amend it - but i am not too sure whether you email them first adn then reapply
Finally got an email inviting me to do the CMS Watson glaser. Do we know if that’s selective or just late non-selective? I’m not sure how I do with Watson glaser; I had an email from CC saying I passed theirs (but then didn’t go through to the next round) - is that worth anything or more of a holding thing they say to people?
Hi @Andrei Radu, @Jaysen and all,
I recently completed two pre-recorded video interviews with US firms but I am pretty certain that I haven't made it through to the next round because ACs are being held / have been held this week. I was wondering if you could provide any insights as to whether a reapplication would be allowed (and if so are you at a disadvantage) if you have reached the VI stage previously. Just to bear in mind these were the first VIs I had ever done so I don't think I was prepared for them well enough.
Finally, are there ways you suggest to improve at these before the next cycle?
Thanks
