Rothschild Gap Year Scheme - A few questions that are not answered on the site!

Just some news for you lot (as the constant bumping of this thread is getting quite annoying) - my brother goes to Habs and he was told by their sixth-form careers adviser that they've reduced the intake number this year substantially (due in large to the CC) in their careers assembly at the end of January.

This may also therefore be the reason why they have not replied yet, as you would think some crappy gap year programme (and I don't mean to be hurtful here, but lets face it, it is) would be the last thing on their mind at the moment.

Oh for god's sake stop bumping this thread. I'm sure if there was bloody news someone would post it.

A-level kids are going to be the least of there priorities, partic. as it was said the programme was going to be canceled or significantly reduced in number from last years intake.

I hope 2strong you have applied to other schemes as well mate, such as the big4 (which are arguably regarded as better), check there websites as a few places may be available (but I doubt it at this stage).

Hey, sorry, I just wanted to know, chill out! :p:

And ye, I have an offer from another scheme, but the good thing about Roths is that becuase its split into two batches, if I get it, I may be able to do both (there is like a month overlap), becuase you can do March-August right?

And also, where have they said that they have severely reduced intake? Ive checked the website and I dont recall reading anything of the sort? Of course, your explanation seems logical, but do they say that anywhere?

Also, you last post (ie before this one) you said you knew someone at Habs or something, who is it that you know?

thanks

As said above, its my brother. I would rather not give out his name to a stranger, but if you would like me to pass on to him your name (i.e. if you think he may know you etc), PM me and I will do so.

As for how I know about the reduced intake, my brother's school was told from their careers rep (i.e. the intake number shall be reduced, and by that, they mean reducing not only numbers but most likely only have the scheme run on 1 date - afterall, all you do is crappy BO work which won't be too much of a problem to hire others to do for Rothschild, if they need to).
