    Hello.

    Has anyone actually had a rejection notice from 25 Bedford Row yet? My status is still 'under consideration'. Alternatively, is anyone aware of whether this set is likely to update the pupillage portal?

    Many thanks.

    Kings in Manchester rejections are out.
    sorry to hear. I've been rejected by them twice in the past two years (applied again anyway) but heard nothing just yet. Did they email? Thanks.

    25 Bedford Row invites are rolling out - I only got my invitation 15 minutes ago.

    Sorry... slight misunderstanding. I don't have confirmation either way - i.e. no indication of a rejection or invitation. So I was wondering if they are one of those sets that never confirm, unless it is to invite you to an interview?

    Thanks!

    If my memory serves correctly, last year the invites came throughout the day and then rejections came out in the late afternoon/early evening

    Looks like I'm going to be sat here furiously refreshing the portal page until the "Your application was sh**" message pops up.

    last year (and the year before ) PP was updated, but they emailed the rejection at the same time. Heard nothing at all this year yet. Good luck!

    Well, who knows right? I got my rejection email from Zenith at 10pm at night so it could come at any time.

    yep, rejection emails seem to transcend office hours. I always prefer to know though! Do you know of anyone who has been offered an interview at Kings?

    If it helps, Lawlad, I'm yet to hear from any of my PP sets including Kings and 42 Bedford Row. The latter one is still a little puzzling- I'm crossing my fingers for rolling interviews.

    Fab, now we definitely have to have that drink. We can second guess the 25BR interview. Is yours on the 14th? Maybe a post-traumatic G&T or two?

    God tell me about it. Yes definitely. Disappointing that Ken Clarke has been so quiet recently.
