I wonder if it seems so brutal this year is down to the gateway website parameters. This year if you had the generic questions such as mini Pupillage’s etc you could not streamline for each set. This is because even if you had submitted an application any changes on subsequent applications also amended any earlier submitted or not yet submitted applications. As a result you were technically unable to streamline all answers to a particular set or demographic. For example for criminal sets I would take out some of the commercial mini’s I had done, similarly I might focus more on relevant experience’s that were aligned to a criminal barrister.
It seems ludicrous that changes occur to already submitted applications, particularly when at the same time the applicant cannot technically edit that same application intentionally by reviewing and resubmitting before the deadline.

I think this had a huge impact.

I didn’t realise it was changing my allready submitted ones until it was too late. Which meant there was a lot of unnecessary items on some applications unintentionally. Brevity is key, and that completely circumvents the option unless you’re applying to one specific area.

Thanks - would you happen to know if this was via Gateway or via email?

Do you know if this was personalised/through gateway etc? Trying to work out whether to assume a rejection as I haven’t heard…

I received a rejection for 23 ES Crime - London after FRI about an hour ago. Good luck with your SRI!
Still not heard from 5 Pump Court but saw their LinkedIn post which said: “Big news coming on Tuesday morning…stay tuned! Until then, enjoy the long weekend”

No context at all but I’m going to be delusional and pretend it’s about us so I can stop stressing and refreshing😂
Has anyone heard back from 7KBW after FRI?
And has anyone heard from Fountain Court - at all? Heard nothing after paper sift!
