Not heard anything, the application portal still says "on hold."
I am wondering the same thing but it just depends on the scores of everyone else that applied. I met grad rec at an event and asked whether there was anything I can do to increase my chances of success given that I am not able to alter my application in any way.
They said that receiving that email was a good sign and that they had a really high number of applications for the Winter VS. She said to just apply again (if I want to) and my scores will be looked at alongside the other applicants.
Maybe we just missed out? It's hard to say really... I am remaining optimistic. My WG result was 62nd percentile so alright but not the best.
Thank you for your reassuring response Camilla. I really hope that the case and fingers crossed it is enough this time round!
Your WG result is very positive (compared to my measly 26th percentile) so you should certainly remain optimistic! Since I am in a lower percentile range would you say this limits my chances? Or is the outcome based on the WG result and CAPP assessment?
Good luck with the rest of your applications too
Oh! I feel so silly - I did not even think of doing this. Thanks Eamon
Don't feel silly. It is not obvious that you can request it. I didn't know until recently!

You must have passed the benchmark otherwise you would not have been asked to reapply. They may look at scores for the WG test to decide who to invite to AC but I have a feeling it is more to do with the CAPP test element.
That is just my guess anyway...
bizarre, i was in the 90th percentile, but only got 33. I think they weight different sections more. Anyway, i think high marks wont help really - i basically think its on CAPP and WG is merely if u passed the benchmark (whatever that is)
that's so strange - i got 38/40 and was in the 89th percentile? makes no sense
I think there is also something to do with the randomized questions you get (e.g. you could get one question a specific cohort got all right, whereas one only 10% got right, therefore you get more points for it).
It says i was almost highest percentile for evaluating arguments....but much lower for others...perhaps the value that the most? Very weird
From memory (I applied in November) there were work experience boxes and school/uni grade boxes as well.
