Got a request for additional information today, is that a positive sign in my application then? Surely they wouldn't bother if they were going to reject me anyway for failing the OA?


If it’s for your grades then it’s standard and I wouldn’t read into that, they asked me that as well and then after for visa information and haven’t heard anything after that yet

Yeah my friend got the visa question, it just feels pointless asking though if theyre going to reject us based on the OA marks. Like dont give me false hope 😭

I think the visa question is a good indicator, can’t imagine they want to find out if they can sponsor you just to reject you

On the contrary, I don't think they would be bothered learning about that if they don't see you as a strong applicant. Either way, if you didn't receive a rejection email right after completing your OA, you should be fine.

Does anyone else’s application say this:
“Current status:
Your application is currently on hold
As we recruit on a rolling basis and due to a particularly high volume of applications received, there are a number of candidates currently ahead of you in the process and so roles could be filled before we can progress you to the next stage. We will contact you as soon as we can to confirm if we are able to progress you to the next stage of the process our Video Interview.”

Same here. Have you heard anything from them since then?

They just asked me today if I have a visa or the British citizenship. The program is ACA Audit in London.

Chat, am I cooked?

Should I be worried? They asked me for a list of all my qualifications with official title, type of qualification and grade for GCSE, A level and Degree including all my degree modules and their percentages.

I replied with the info and they have now emailed me from a specific kpmg person email rather than recruitment asking for my A level and BTEC transcripts and certificates.

Happened to me as well, got the request for list but then someone from student onboarding asked me for visa information- wouldn’t stress about it

I’m on hold too. I knew not having a visa was going to shoot me in the foot.
