Hi Chris 87,
Hope you don't mind but can I ask you when you applied to Emirates? I applied on the 4th September and still haven't heard anything. I registered for the Oct 12th AD day too and re-submitted my application.
I'm just surprised as I spent ages on the 'why emirates' question and thought it sounded really good (even though I do say so myself)
. I meet all the other criteria as far as I know.
I know they say to wait three months for a response but I would rather be realistic than live in false hope.
Best of luck for you in 10 days time, I hope it goes well.
