Can't remember fully (so may be wrong) but I think last year I had a tick by candidate review while they were still deciding and then was rejected at at candidate review stage (mine said 77% though not 60%). So not sure the tick does mean anything...Does anyone know how long Linklaters take to come back after the deadline?
Also if the portal says 70% completed and there's a tick next to candidate review, does that mean anything?
Last year, the furthest I got is 60% and my application was unsuccessful at candidate review stage.

Yes I did! I hadn’t bothered the last two years but thought I would out of curiosity this year. They send you a detailed report so quite useful, only took a few hours to get it too!
It doesn't mean anything I'm afraid - got 70% for Winter then a PFO
Hahaha I did suspect as much but nice to have some false hope 😅😅 sorry to hear tho, I’d love to know what they’re looking for haha been rejected the past two years too
How long did they take to get back to you after the deadline if you don't mind me asking?
That's not true, it wasn't timed. The only sections which were timed were the ones who expressly said so such as the VIs, it said so at the start of the exercise.it was timed
Last cycle my VI was showing as reviewed for maybe 2+ weeks before I got an AC offer just to manage expectations
Mine’s been like that for a few days. I’m not sure it means much at this point!
I can't remember exactly, but I think they waited till they'd completed the last AC before sending out rejections as it took an AGE for the pfo to arrive - first (& only) time applying so could be different in other circumstances
Don't throw it out with the bathwater😅! That being said, I'd only keep the factual answers (state your skills, achievements etc.) the same and change everything else, even if the changes are minor. Try to build on your motivations with new, more detailed examples, think of other things about the firm that you've learnt since you last applied to add, reflect deeply about your skills/abilities that match well the firm and find a way to weave them into your application. Does this make sense?
