Just received this from pinsent masons. I haven't done any tests or AC...
What do I do I'm v confused

Thank you for submitting an application for a Vacation Placement and participating in the subsequent assessment centre. We have now spent a considerable amount of time reviewing all the candidates and their skills and qualifications.

Whilst you have not made our initial shortlist, we were very impressed by your application and would like to hold you as a reserve in the event that a placement becomes available. If, for any reason, your circumstances change and you are no longer able to take up a placement this summer, please let us know.
Weird! I would reply and seek clarification...

    Haven't heard back from AG post-VI but got an email today saying that they're now reviewing everyones and will be giving invites to the first London AC on 2nd Feb.

    Think the deadline to do the PwC game was like today or yesterday or something so I'm sure we'll hear back in the coming weeks
    Oh wow congrats on the VI!! Do you happen to know if they are holding any more?

    Aw thank you !! I mean I have no clue but I'm sure they are. The email said they're yet to add more dates for AC's and I'm sure this will be for those they haven't replied to just yet. I have seen loads on here who haven't had a response yet for the London and other national offices

    Well done!! Is this for spring or summer?

    P.s judging by your profile name, I assume you support Arsenal meaning this AC must be the most success you’ve had all year;)
    Honestly, I think just being an Arsenal fan is a good example to show for resilience in applications/interviews at this point...
