[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 93445, member: 2672"] As someone who has reviewed applications, the "feedback" information can be brutally unhelpful as a "yes" or "no". Many firms don't go through the process of recording why someone has been unsuccessful, just that they have been. A SAR would not detail any automatic processes either and there would be no guarantees the decision was made on your academics. However, if a firm does score you against any criteria (many do), then this would be recorded and you could get these scores through if you did. So you will just take a bit of a gamble as to how much useful information you would get if you took the SAR route. The percentile will relate to any test scores rather than your application. You could get a very high percentile ranking in tests but still be unsuccessful if your application has not met the criteria of the firm. [/QUOTE]
