Just got an email saying my application is on hold and 'As we recruit on a rolling basis and due to a particularly high volume of applications received, we wanted to let you know that there are a number of candidates currently ahead of you in the process. Rest assured we are progressing applications as swiftly as we can and we will be in touch when we hope to be able to progress you to the next stage of the process – our Launch Pad event – as soon as possible.' idk if this means i got through to launch pad or not?

Hi again, i just rang in right now and they let me know that the Bristol launchpad isn’t until April so there’s a high chance that i will be invited then. This could also be the case for you?

Thank you! I've applied to Leeds though - I emailed yesterday but might call too. I just dont know if it means I'm on the waiting list for Launch pad of if I have made it through. Did they tell you you made it through?

The lady i spoke to didn’t specify if I've made it through but she said there’s a high chance i will, i think that means I've passed the assessments but she can’t confirm anything right now as there’s still a while till April. I heard if you don’t pass the assessments, they email you right after to say you haven’t been successful. From what i can remember she mentioned the Leeds launchpad is in February.

The first assessment, is mainly just simple calculations and multiple choice. The second assessment is mainly about KPMG, so you have to do questions based on how you would respond to a situation if you were working at KPMG. There’s also a few video questions where you have to record yourself but main thing is just to not overthink it and try to apply the knowledge you have as best as possible.
