I still haven't received anything & PG still on First Interview. Given that your letter is dated 28 August, I'm guessing the offer has already been made.

Just had my scoring sheets through from the video interview and assessment centre. Quite helpful. Surprising they don't even mark the application stage (cv and online questions).

Hi everyone, I applied for an inn scholarship last year but was unsuccessful. I am not a member of any inn and am thinking of applying somewhere else this year. Does anyone know is this is possible, is it frowned upon, has anyone tried their luck at a different inn for scholarships?

thanks in advance :smile:

all the best

If you didn't join the Inn you applied to you're free to try again wherever you like next time. It isn't frowned upon, it won't be taken into account, and indeed if you go elsewhere I don't know how they'd even know you'd applied before. Nothing like that came up at my interview and I can't see why it would.

Hi I also sat the CPS assessment but I never received any feedback. Do you have to specifically request this or do they send it out automatically ( in which case I never got mine!). Thanks!
