Not sure! feeling quite negative overall as I always get my hopes up. Are they definitely sending PFOs?

yes they have been sending PFOs for weeks, but yeah you are right could mean nothing. However, I feel as though I aced my WG.

Fingers crossed, found my WG quite hard but I feel a bit positive if yours went well and we’re in the same situation rn

If it helps, I applied on the 29th of November, received WG on the 2nd December, noticed my portal updated around the 14th, then got a rejection on the 23rd. Not sure you can read too much into what the portal updates mean tbh, but hopefully yours is better news!

NRF TI tmrw, was wondering if anyone had any tips/insight into what that is about.

Thank you! Yes I agree, there’s really no way to interpret portal updates correctly. Whatever happens happened

Hi. If I may ask you, have you completed their Forage program?

On the open day, I believe they said it's straight to AC after WG

The deadline for completing the SST is tomorrow so they won't extend invites until next week

Sorry for the repost, all!

@Jessica Booker I'd really appreciate your take on this.

On Stephenson Harwood's form, the last question is written like this:

Are there any other particular matters you wish to mention?

• Are there any reasonable adjustments that you would like the firm to make during the selection process?
• If you are changing careers, you may wish to tell us about your decision?
• If you have taken a gap year, you may wish to tell us about what you did?
• Do you have any additional information that you have not included elsewhere in the form that the interviewer should be aware of?

I'm not sure if this space should be used as a further opportunity to market myself? I'm getting the vibe that it's more to explain admin details like mitigating circumstances.
