    Anyone heard back from NRF? I know some people have got a VI but other than that any updates? Or has anyone received a rejection? - still waiting to hear from them but not confident considering others have received a VI
    I've heard nothing and scored similar to others who have, I think they're just spacing it out, so not over to its over I guess

    Hey, I just got a standard rejection email nearly 5 weeks after my Milbank AC and they’re refusing to provide individual feedback (which I think is ridiculous given the AC was nearly 6 hrs long and we completed 4 exercises). I don’t want to ask for a Subject Access Request straight away - how can i ask for feedback and mention the SAR without seeming too bothersome? Thank you :)
    Would also like to know. Think it's absolutely ridiculous that we did all those exercises, took time off work and travelled to the AC (which cost a fair chunk for me) to not even be given checkbox feedback. Will not be reapplying.

    Thank you for all the helpful messages I'm receiving on the grades v extra-curriculars debate.

    @axelbeugre @Jessica Booker I'm interested please to hear your thoughts on this too please? Would I be disadvantaged if I talk about my role of responsibility as something I completed in the past?
    I personally do not think you would be at all, as long as you manage to describe your experiences and the relevance of the skills you developed through them!
