Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Congratulations to you all!
How often are the calls made? Every week?
thanks buddy. have to make the most of congratulations on here as in the real world, folks are.....well lets just say not too congratulatory.
as above, seemingly 5 weeks or so.
did not think they'd be going out this week so they cant be predicted to accurately.0 -

If you don't mind me asking folks, when did you all do your medical? How long have you be waiting for "the call" and what do they actually say on the phone? Are you given a date for induction weekend or commencement of training?
Apologies for 101 questions.
same as Delilahbeau. My medical was just over a month ago.
got my letter like two days later. but you hear nothing regarding the hair follicle test.
On the phone, you have to confirm if you address has changed, change of partner and they ask you if you are still interested in the role (I'd love to know how many say no at this stage)
you get induction day dates, a start date and she congratulates you. 0 -

I wonder how many calls go out in one day...
I don't have a clue. There aren't too many people who get in and post on the boards, so it's hard to tell that way.

I have inside information that due to how clueless and how much handholding i'll require, they could only fit another two alongside me.
(equally useless two as well)

Am i allowed to ask what the induction date and start date is for you guys? I'm just trying to gauge how much time they give you to up sticks and move your life lol with a job to leave and a house to sell etc0 -

bank on a month/month and a half roughly between phone calls and start dates.
btw, that is based on numerous posts on here and doesn't necessarily reflect my own situation.
sorry for being so unspecific 0 -

What may be more realistic to you ( and what you're possibly not aware of) is that the first month of GV is residential (and also compulsory that you live there for the first month at least) ... If it came to the bit that you were accepted, you may have to leave your family in England for a while to sort out the selling of your current place and the buying of somewhere else.
Also, bare in mind you won't know where you are posted until you graduate (you only find out the day before or so).... So buying somewhere and then getting placed at the opposite side of the country is also possible
(I really hate being the barer of bad news)
it mightn't be bad news!!

As Iamveryvague said nothing is set in stone. I would not think too much about planning until you get the call, I'm aware you need to plan a little. If you scour the forum here like demented ferret (referring to myself in the past) you gradually build up a better idea of the way things happen.
Also, there are probably some people in threads that are in your position. Id check the recent intakes and they will have some relevant experience I am sure. 0 -
