I wonder how many calls go out in one day...
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)

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.
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

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 -
