Answered you earlier but ok.

They have a new approach this year where they leave you waiting even though they could just reject people. Sees to be in fashion this year.

They have a ranked list of people highest to lowest on their WE performance. They’re doing down that list and inviting. If you’re at the bottom they won’t tell you, they will leave you waiting and having false hope until 5:30 tomorrow.

They invite 55-60 to interview but won’t say how many made WE. All ambiguous tbh. We were told it’ll be the same as last year when Gemma did it but it’s actually been anything but the same.

They’ll send a mass rejection tomorrow evening. They will invite a small amount of people in the morning though. They also don’t have may interview slots left so I reckon maybe less than 6 will get an invite tomorrow (source: from 3 people who got an interview and told me the slot options left)

Also NO feedback post WE. Insanity is you ask me.
You can always get this feedback.

Just make a Subject Access Request.
