Not yet, have you? On the email it says that we should hear back the latest of the 4th April. However I've noticed in past years that they did the work experience, applicants were left with no reply, or some even found out in late June.

Ah okay. How do you think you did on the assessment? I reckon I did alright it's just tough since I'm against years 10-13, and I have no clue how mant get accepted. I've seen on a forum that apparently it was only 15/1000 applicants which is mad but I hope it's more..

Surely not because there are multiple different business sectors in the company they focus on. Plus take into account its done twice because of 2 dates so they could accept more people

That's what I thought, however I have seen a post saying that there were about like 4 divisions, with 5-6 people per division. IF (I hope not) that's true, it's still a small number. Do you have any other work experiences on hold?

Apparently when I asked they only take in around 50 to 70 people out of the 1000 applicants so its pretty brutal compared to other banking work experiences on offer good luck guys.

Really? They told us we should hear back by latest 4th April, so it's not fully over right. I spoke to a guy who got accepted to last years one and he found out he got accepted way after everyone else did *15th April* he said
