[QUOTE="SLKEJRWOI97, post: 43950, member: 4782"] Hey! I wonder that too. From what it sounds like, I think they will look at their priority pool first and invite who they want to invite. [B]If [/B]they have any space or aren't happy with that pool, I think they'll only then look at all the non-priority candidates and invite who they want to invite. Something to bear in mind is the WG Test too. So whilst they're only prioritising certain candidate pools, those applicants will reduce as they move through the process. I read earlier in this thread that the firm has already been internally rejecting candidates because they're not writing to the word count, not answering the question, etc. Undoubtedly people will be rejected on the performance of their test too. But, given the video and the sentiment from the firm, I don't think they would "reserve" any places or look at non-priority applications unless they're happy with the priority pool. And I suspect they will be. I could be wrong though and if I'm honest, it's quite disappointing that the firm took this move. I know of many final year law and graduates who have great skills and experiences which would be an asset to the firm. People like myself couldn't have applied until now due to other commitments e.g. caring, paying for household expenses so just as we're ready, the firm announces this. It seems disheartening. Overall, I wouldn't be surprised if I was rejected given the above. So much so, I'd be really happy even if I got to WG stage (as it shows I have [B]a [/B]chance). [/QUOTE]
