    yep, they said tuesday to us too. I've been trying not to think about it, but how can we not? Either way from monday my phone ring volume is going waaaaaay up haha

    I say that, then I'll get an e-mail saying "No" lol

    They told us Monday but I guess it's changed, to be honest I thought it didn't really give them much time to decide and contact 230+ people so Tuesday is more than reasonable. If it's a rejection I really don't want it to be over the phone, it's awful.

    Perhaps for the first week of ACs it will be Monday, and Tuesday for the second week of ACs?

    Yeah, it was the last one yesterday. It was good - but you can never tell how it's gone!

    Yeah the guy said week starting 19th, but more likely the Tuesday onwards, and in all likelihood they would have decided on the pretty much no's on the days, they sit down with the possibles. My friend used to do recruitment for grad schemes in different places and it's pretty much the same process! Not an easy one!
