I got the Freshfields PFO one where they say that your application was strong, that there are limited assessment centre available but they are currently unable to offer you a place.

They then go on to say they want to assure me that my application still remains under active consideration and there is a possibility that we may still invite you to Assessment Centre at a later date.

Is this the one everyone is referring to?

Nope I just got a standard rejection, seems like you are on some sort of waiting list!

morning all, does anyone know how to get candid to update your details for autofill? it's currently autofilling work experience, addresses and grades from two years

Click the top right corner and select your profile that you want to edit. Remember, you can edit everything except for the work experience.

Wouldn't read into it I am sure it is automatic but manually sent to check for fake or double applications.

They said in the email post assessment communication is in batches I'd assume the same post app.

HL online test invite - assuming its automatic but for anyone wondering I applied mid October
