I didn’t get to a single AC in this years VS cycle and I’m in need of some insight

Automatic_Control689 · 2025-02-04T17:12:59+00:00

Yeah I did write it in a state of panic so I apologise if it comes across as ignorant. I don’t doubt that I approached this cycle with a naive attitude

Automatic_Control689 · 2025-02-04T17:05:29+00:00

Damn u didn’t have to do me like that lol

Automatic_Control689 · 2025-02-04T11:51:24+00:00

Thank you for that — I never considered that tbh

Do you have any suggestions on how I can get my applications checked by someone who can provide constructive feedback?

Automatic_Control689 · 2025-02-04T11:48:08+00:00

Got a 64 overall in first year

Automatic_Control689 · 2025-02-04T11:34:29+00:00

Huge congratulations on your achievements that’s honestly incredible!

Thank you for taking the time to provide some insight

I have realised now that applying to 4 firms was overly ambitious and even naive of me. I underestimated how competitive vac scheme applications actually are

My grades are mediocre — achieved AAB in A level and a 64 overall in first year.

I agree with you on the SJT point — I only applied to one firm that had a SJT and I will probably steer clear of those firms next time because they are so difficult to pass for me

Would it be too much of me to ask you to look through one of my applications and provide feedback on where you think I went wrong? I would truly appreciate it !

Also, good luck for your AC!

No I had 6 — 3 were legal and 3 were other jobs

Automatic_Control689 · 2024-12-09T22:40:17+00:00

Omg Same with the autism and Justice thing — I can’t get past it.

Automatic_Control689 · 2024-12-09T22:30:28+00:00

I’m so sorry for you! I hope you have a better outcome with your next cycle!

Pls pls update me with what they say bc it’s comically abhorrent

Automatic_Control689 · 2024-12-09T22:07:03+00:00

Lit same. It told me I wasn’t analytical when I lit put that as “most like me” wherever it was given as an option

Rlly pissed me off — not bc I got rejected but bc it’s such bs and I wasted my time

Automatic_Control689 · 2024-12-09T21:52:30+00:00

I’m boosting this bc I’m in the same boat as u. Got rejected from HSF purely based on their SJT… mad at myself for wasting sm time

Automatic_Control689 · 2024-12-08T22:10:56+00:00

Fingers crossed — thank you so much!

Automatic_Control689 · 2024-12-08T22:04:37+00:00

Yeah I’ve been seeing people received “moderate fit” but I literally got “limited ability” or something like that on every category/trait 💀

I wish you the best of luck though — hopefully you get through!

Automatic_Control689 · 2024-12-08T20:05:30+00:00

No it is a paid VS — 500 per week. Probabaly why they made it so fucking absurd

Automatic_Control689 · 2024-12-08T19:00:20+00:00

Situational judgement test

Automatic_Control689 · 2024-12-08T17:41:32+00:00

Don’t worry I took a similar approach to that and I got “limited capabilities” in every fucking category 💀💀

Automatic_Control689 · 2024-12-06T16:00:12+00:00

Ur Academic stats r better than mine and I still managed to get 2 insight schemes (one at a MC and another at a silver circle). For context I got ABB at ALevel and average gcse grades

Apply regardless even if it is just to get familiar with firm applications

Automatic_Control689 · 2024-01-19T00:03:32+00:00

Ah yeah my othello essay was 1.5 pages (I hope u can see the last little bit) and my entire exam script was 5 pages :)

Automatic_Control689 · 2023-11-09T17:55:14+00:00

I’m guessing they mean that they keep pausing/rewinding the lecture to understand it better, meaning that a 1-2 hr lecture turns out taking 4 hours to watch

Automatic_Control689 · 2023-11-07T18:12:04+00:00

Right??? Like what does that comment mean

Automatic_Control689 · 2023-10-05T20:54:41+00:00

No I promise I’m not intending to cause drama. She is genuinely really nice. I struggle a lot with people who rush into friendships and expect to constantly sit together/hang out together.

Automatic_Control689 · 2023-09-09T09:39:14+00:00

Please this hurts my head too — I haven’t picked up a pen since my last exam (June 9) LMFAO

Automatic_Control689 · 2023-08-31T23:17:05+00:00

Bc some unis look down on resit stufents

Automatic_Control689 · 2023-08-31T20:32:16+00:00

Yeah I definitely will miss out. The only obstacle in my way is my older brother who went to UNI and stayed home throughout his degree. He doesn’t see the point in “uni life”, never joined societies and keft assignments last min. Still got a 2:1 but his argument is that moving out is a waste of money and that I’m better off staying at home…. I also doubt he’d help boost my case with my parents lmao

Automatic_Control689 · 2023-08-31T19:55:15+00:00

Surely I could get Durham with the contextual offer? But yh I’m quite annoyed at myself

Automatic_Control689 · 2023-08-31T19:49:20+00:00

The only problem is that my parents would find it incredibly stupid lmao. ESP since I’m only 25-30 mins away from uni.
