I applied on Wednesday evening (last minute...) and got a reply from Oxford the next day in the early afternoon inviting me to an assessment centre. Very efficient turn around!
There were two assessment centres available with spaces on the 18th and 19th March. These were the only dates available.

Cheers guys!
Best of luck to everyone else still in the mix.
I wasn't going to comment on those speculating on what BA are looking for - but I'll add my humble opinion. It is impossible to second guess what they are looking for - the only way to find out is to go through the process. Having worked within a recruitment process in a large business I can advise that it is the whole package that is desired. The combination of skills, attitude, intelligence, exam grades etc. is the 'secret' formula. Having a suitable level and mix of their particular formula will mean you pass through the process and possibly get offered a position. Even then a certain amount of luck, timing and other factors will of course play a part. Saying that you need this and that, including these grades and skills is only a guess really!

V1; winners don't quit. So keep believing even when there is no reason to. I'm not in the mix for this campaign but good luck to you.

CTC applicants
Well done to those with invites so far, I've been reading this thread with interest over the last week
Judging by recent posts, it seems pretty quiet on the CTC front - has anyone heard from them in the last few days? Or, like me, are you still waiting? I submitted last Saturday
Thanks and good luck to all

Still waiting for CTC.
They say they haven't received my application from BA yet who are screening them first. They are running selection days into April though so there are plenty of assessments days.
Applied 28th Feb.

Has anyone received a rejection yet? I assume all the invitations will be sent out first then, and people will be informed that they were unsuccessful? Still waiting to hear back from Oxford, thinking it might not be good news as people already have heard back. I applied on the first day it was open.

How do you CTC are running selection into April? From calling them?
I have been lucky enough to be invited for selection, but on the booking page they are only showing next week slots. April will be much better for me if they will still offer - did they say when in April? Thanks.

Thanks StickandShudder. Just going through the worst possible outcomes in my head...making for very restless nights because obviously there isn't enough hours in the day to worry.

Don't give up hope. The fact that mine went in well before the deadline probably contributed to my quick response. I can imagine there were a LOT of applications towards the end of the application window, there will be a lot to go through at all the FTOs.

I applied last Sunday and just received my invitation from CTC (5 days later). Now I am certain that CTC are processing applications in a non-chronological order. "Have a little patience".

Got my reply, I didn't make it so now I can get on with my life. At least I know now. Good luck to those who are going to the assessment day. Make sure you are well prepared and have a good rest the night before.
