Same 😅 but I applied on 22nd Nov.

idk why some firms do this. Bakers did it to me with the open day. acepted other people even tho I applied in august then rejected me the day before the open day??? lmfao
Honestly… my tactic of applying at the beginning of deadlines clearly does not work for some firms 😂
