I applied as soon as the application opened and will have a first round in the next 2 weeks.

 

Probably got school/gpa screened out. Only good thing going for me is my current internship, I just applied for exhaustivity. I applied on June 22nd if that helps

 

applied with ModernGuild and haven’t heard back at all lmao oof anyone else had this issue? I thought DES was pretty good with rejection letters so either they haven’t even reviewed or I got fucked so hard they wouldn’t even bother lol

Has anyone heard back about a fundamental research superday or know what to expect during one?

 

I got through to the reference stage and submitted references + background check for London.

Applied in Aug, heard from them early Oct, so about two months.

I passed a couple of rounds

First interview --> case study --> Second Interview

Not sure if the second interview is what some people above refer to as the superday. Now I am waiting to hear from them
