Also been rejected, post application review. Really disappointed as they were my favourite firm and I think my strongest/most authentic application... no clue where I fell down. I had passed the test benchmark by the way. Don’t know what to do now :(
It will be a blessing in disguise don’t worry! I’m sure this will mean you find a firm you’re more suited to. Don’t give up hope on your other applications!

    Also received a rejection from HSF’s spring scheme after passing the test :( it was also my favourite firm. I submitted a great app as well.. oh wells

    So sorry to hear! Can i ask when you applied and when you received these emails? Wishing you the best of luck in your other applications :)

    HSF is truly one of the toughest firms to get an AC and even their online test can be super hit or miss with most people. Hope everyone manages to just take some time off from apps these next few days. I know it always took me days to recover from rejections from firms I really liked but I always believed and still do believe its only a matter of time before a firm that sees your value comes along. Sending all my love and support guys, rejections just means there's better waiting out there for you!
