KPMG First Year Insight

Hi, has anybody applied to the KMPG First Year Insight Programme? I got rejected the day after I applied because my academic performance was not strong enough. I checked on their website and their minimum requirement is 360 UCAS points, and I got 530. Could it be a mistake? Has anyone been rejected for the same reason?

What are you including in your 530 UCAs points? Seems kinda high to then get rejected for this reason - are you including BTECs etc?

oh I got 4As, is 3As good enough?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help. I am a second year at a Scottish university, but have changed my course and will need to repeat the second year. Am I still eligible to apply for the insight days, even though I'll have done second year twice??
Did you meet the GCSE requirements?
Yeah, I meet the requirements academically

Was talking to the OP. However as far as I know you aren't actually eligible for insight days in the second year unless you're on a 4 year course.

Did you guys apply for London or Manchester?

Also, am I the only one who found it really weird not having to upload a CV or talk about the work experience I've done?

Application went under review so I presume I passed it.

I just got an email saying that I'm in the talent pool and that all interview slots have been filled. They will contact me if more slots become available.
