Still 1500 places which given the VERY slow movement in dates means either more wasted invites or more people scrambling to a higher score
The only noticeable change was 25 places were taken off 2631 Computer Network Professionals and given to Non Pro rata occupations in the March round.
Our latest March predictions at this stage still stand. As although there were a larger number of invites than we expected, the very slow movement shows that is counter balanced by wasted invites and more people getting to 80/85 points
