What part did you struggle with? I myself found the written assessment the most difficult tbh wby? And I am looking at uni to study economics anyways if not I'm also looking into data analytics as well which is a completely different job and role but it doesn't look too bad. Hby?

Has anyone heard back yet? I hold my breath every time I refresh my email (which I do about a million times a day in anticipation)! The wait is now killing me 😩

I’ve put Leeds as my 1st choice, York as my 2nd and Sheffield as 3rd. Both my backup choices are equidistant from my current location! I’m so horrifically nervous and wish we could just find out now! It causes anxiety on a moment by moment basis!

Those are great choices! York and Sheffield are my second and third as well. I am very much in the same boat. Hopefully we hear today/tomorrow!

Feeling so anxious. I just hope we get the email today as it’s now pretty much mid May. Good luck with your outcome!

Ah sorry about that! Me too I really prayed to get an answer so I could stop stressing over this but nothing yet sadly. I've been on other threads and it doesn't look like anyone else has heard yet... annoying but hopefully we will hear early next week!
Same!!!! What location did you apply to mate
