Does anyone know what this means please?

“Thank you for applying for Birketts LLP's 2025 vacation scheme.

We are emailing to inform you that your application has been long-listed by our Early Careers Team and subsequently sent to our Early Careers Partners to review.

We will be in touch shortly to confirm if our Early Careers Partners would like to invite you to an interview.”

I have heard of being shortlisted but what does long listed mean? Has anyone else received this/is it standard?
Longlisted means it’s just a larger group of candidates rather than a shortlist. A shortlist may only be a handful of candidates, while a long list maybe a large group of candidates that are then whittled down to how many they need to interview.
