Anyone just get a rejection email from Teeside which was recalled and then another rejection sent... They got my hopes up for a minute there!

That's so mean!

Shocked and thrilled to bits to have secured a first interview this third time applying ! I honestly throught I’d completely failed the screening test. Now just waiting to hear back from Bath..Good luck to everyone and may the wait be over soon!

Thank you Betterdaystocome. In a bit of shock atm. I got the email just before midday, alphabetically I'm usually one of the first people to be emailed so it is quite normal for me to get emails hours before colleagues. Fingers crossed for you.

Was that with an interview offer or rejection? Just trying to work out if they are doing the same as Exeter and only emailing out for those with offers.

Well done to everyone who got an interview! To those, like myself, who have struggled to secure an interview place: don’t give up and just build on all you’ve learnt in this process. I’d also suggest considering courses that offer a screening test as a selection method!

Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear, and congrats to all the greens.

Just got the rejection email from Glasgow a few minutes ago. Hoping Edinburgh gets back to us today, but I'm not feeling very optimistic right now!

First year applying and I can't say I don't feel a little disheartened. Im just using this as a learning curve to do better next time though. Anyone heard from Edinburgh?
