I don't think so :frown: I wish they would stop giving us dates!

It certainly wouldn't seem like it, but why email and tell us a specific date if its not?

I wish I was brave enough to ring!

Isn't DFID meant to be opposed to torture??? :smile:

I would say, from the previous email, that they know who's been successful. I wish they would just send out an email saying 'You've been unsuccessful, feedback to follow' or 'You've been successful, details of placement to follow'.

I'm 98 per cent convinced I'm getting rejected too, which makes all this faffing ten times worse.

Same!! It's just going to make the rejection worse because i've wasted so much time checking emails/this/online application and generally worrying!

Hi guys. I've been following this stream for the past few days in desperation of finding some news but have only just got an account myself! I thought I should let you all know that I heard from DFID by phone just after 3.30pm so keep them close by, and good luck!!!!

Thank you very much! I'm really pleased- wanted it so badly (as did we all, so it seems... sorry to anyone who didn't get it). I'm going to be based in East Kilbride, which was just where I wanted to be too :smile:
