What was your rating? Were you among the top 20 candidates?

No I wasn't, apparently. I think that is just a clickbait to make one subscribe for their "Fuzu Feedback" scheme.

They put a rather coy caveat underneath - "you have a moderate chance of being accepted into the programme....the employer is responsible for your acceptance" - something of that nature. Still hopeful though.
