yes I did practice a bit on the Graduate First website before doing OIA, i think it's average difficulty. Have you applied it yet ?

Hi guys I was thinking about applying to this graduate programme but I only have a policy analyst internship as my professional experience and I feel like this is maybe a long shot. would you recommend the internship instead and is there any general advice you guys might have for me?
Anyone have any update on this?

I'd take no news as good news! Did you get a benchmark email?

I reckon a bulk of applications start coming through mid-September so next step emails might start getting sent out mid/end of this month (all speculative tho)

No I didn't get any benchmark email, I agree with you tbh, because today the application for strategy and transformation is closed, so I feel next week we might be able to hear something back
Sheesh - closing an almost full 2 months early is something. Fingers crossed on some good news soon!
