I applied for life sciences and pharmaceuticals, health data research, and creative by accident. I meant to apply for healthcare management and emailed weeks ago to change it but they never responded. I've only had one allocation so far from GSK. What did you apply to do?

I've had 4 allocations this year and I've heard from 2

I've had 2 allocations but I've only heard from 1. Haven't had any allocations for Health Data Research. Hopefully they get to us

I’m in the same situation rn
I've had two/three allocations.


Two for the same employer and one for another employer.

Anyone know how many allocations we're actually meant to be getting?

Damn. Support emailed me back saying they'd contact me regarding my third allocation later. I think since you apply for three different industries you're meant to get three allocations. But I've had two allocations for the same industry??? I think it also depends on where u live

They contacted me after my application and told me they couldn't find allocations for my sector and location so I had to select 3 different sectors and locations in a typeform. After I submitted that they said that you might get two allocations for the same industry, I ended up getting two allocations in technology, one in data and health data research.

I received my three locations, but none of them has contacted me.

1 of my allocation has done interview for someone but not even emailed me.

Like what can I do in this case? I have contacted the team but they saying patience, but I have not mentioned 1 of my allocation is interviewing people and I am an early bird as well.

This is so frustrating.

They should be in contact soon, otherwise email the program admin again. Make sure you check your Spam as well

I check both everyday, the least they could have done was email on 29th that they will be in touch soon about next steps, and not keeping us waiting.

I think I will email the program manager. But I don't want to have to keep doing this.

Thanks.

I also applied to the scheme this year first time. I got 5 allocations but I've only heard back from 3 (one of which I rejected). Other two haven't engaged. My chosen fields are investment banking,technology and charity

how were you rejected? Was it after an interview?

You're misunderstanding, I rejected them not vice versa. It was an offer for something I had no interest doing and frankly sounded exploitative so I declined to go any further with them. I haven't been rejected from the two I've gone further with (yet).

Yo 10KBI is looking kinda ass. One of my allocations withdrew from the program loool. So now I've only got one allocation.
