Anyone that got post-FRI rejection from 1COR Brighton (Family) asked for feedback? I thought it was my strongest interview so far so would be really helpful to know their comments on where to improve but not sure if it is appropriate to ask...

I’m sure it would be fine to ask, they can only say no. Totally get where you’re coming from as I felt the same with my Fourteen interview. And then at 5SAH I got SRI and it wasn’t my most polished performance by any stretch, especially as first interview of the season.

Honestly sometimes I think it would save a lot of time to just go in there and flip a coin 😂

A very long shot, but has anyone here been or know anyone that’s been called for FRI with just a competent in the bar course?

I’ve only known of one person who went to go on and get pupillage but they did have extenuating circumstances during the course and a solid undergrad degree.

I don't personally but the stats say they do exist! Page 53 has the numbers - there were about 60 applicants who got FRIs with a 'Competent' https://www.barcouncil.org.uk/static/55d5507c-4e28-4bd7-b146556693a0b020/Pupillage-Gateway-Report-2022.pdf

I got a competent - didn't mitigate and get FRIs pretty much every year. Was a reserve last year. Sometimes life just happens - I think if you have a typical route - they look at this more closely. You are dealing with people who understand setbacks and to some degree most likely have gone through some themselves. Don't let that discourage you.

Anyone heard from 5 Pump Court? It seems unlikely that they will contact us on a bank holiday

Anyone who got a FRI with Doughty mind sharing what sort of experience they have/how many years call etc. I just received a rejection and thought i had a strong application so would very much appreciate any way to identify how to improve
