So i applied for the PE SA26 London at Blackstone 2 days ago (3 hours probably after the app opened) and still didn't get the pymetrics test. Does that mean I'm out?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, receiving the Pymetrics test for Blackstone applications can vary. In one thread, a user mentioned receiving the Pymetrics test two days after submitting their application, while another noted not receiving it at all despite applying. This suggests that not receiving the test immediately does not necessarily mean you're out of the process.
It's possible that Blackstone processes applications in batches or that the Pymetrics test is not sent to all applicants. If you're concerned, it might be worth waiting a few more days or reaching out to their recruitment team for clarification. Good luck!
