I believe they do have a tendency to not reply at all, my brother got rejected last year and he told me they wouldn't give advice even if contacted.

Is there any part of the application that you think hindered you possibly?

Yeah, they have often said they're very busy so I am not expecting a reply, but would appreciate one if it came!

Not really.. Maybe because I had a Headstart place? Don't think it was grade or statement-related...

Haha I was just curious about how the projects were allocated, but I'm pretty sure that it's specific to the institution. Are you looking to apply next year?

Haha why? Are you confused about the research stuff, or what's expected of you? I made a thread on Nuffield apps a while back, it has loads of info from past participants
