2020/21 Detective Constable Met Police Grad Scheme

I wouldn't put much thought into that theory, we've all passed and will eventually get an offer/start date. Whilst recruitment said they're doing Aug/Sept start dates at present, she did tell me they have Oct/Nov intakes also. Plus i'm sure there will be more start dates in 2022

Thank you! I don't have a clue to be honest, I've looked for the scores in my email/portal and can't find them, but I don't remember them being exceptional.

Which BCU are decent? I'm not from London and I've only been twice (for the day 2 and medical). I'm looking West ways but does anyone have any advice?

Beginning of June I passed everything and now vetting has disappeared off my portal too. So confusing. It seems they are placing people dependent on their first day score, mine was about average. So I don’t expect a quick call. I did call recruitment and the guy said that it’s too late for a July start and they are not doing a start date in August so the next one will be 15th September. So fingers crossed for us all.

I might have been lucky to be fair. I hope you get a call soon! The wait sucks but it's worth it 😁

What is everyone doing whilst they are waiting? I can’t really take a “proper job” and I’m currently having to work in an Amazon warehouse! I haven’t had a grad job since completing my masters, but I don’t want to apply for any as I’m set on the police. It feels like I’m in some form of purgatory. It’s really starting to get me down tbh.

I think it’s just unpredictable. I too applied beginning November 2020.

I'm the same as you, it's really hard to plan! I've had to get a part time role just to make some money, but feel bad that at some point I'll be quitting. That's the frustrating part, can't plan anything really life wise

Me too. I’m in a temporary role that goes on until December. Not knowing when I’ll be starting with the MET is making me feel like I’m deceiving them.

Me too. Where are you on your application?

Waiting for a start date now, I think my day one scores were average, if that’s what they going by. I cleared everything beginning of June. How about you?

Wow, congrats, your application got through relatively fast.

I applied in November 2020, so about average at the moment. 7 months. How about you?

Feels like it's been forever so thought I had applied in late 2020 lol. Turns out I had applied in late January 2021. Refreshing emails everyday and checking the portal 50 times a day is a nightmare, but I guess we're all in the same boat lol. The uncertainty and hope that I'll land the job is preventing me from applying to other jobs which is annoying. Happy for you still,
