Do you guys think they send out PFOs? Or should we just assume pfo if we don’t hear back by today

I guess we just have to wait till the end of the day because I think they must be reviewing as we speak right now. So let’s not lose hope yet although slowly I am hahah

Yeah, I've heard nothing either and am frantically refreshing. Presume that with everyone else hearing though, it's not good news and that PFO is coming haha

Congratulations to those of you who got the Clifford Chance video interview!! Such a huge achievement!
Here is is the link to the post I just made with some questions that might come up: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy....ns-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-151491
Good luck with the video interview!

Has anyone received a PFO from CC yet?

I am guessing they will send PFOs later today!

Is anyone sure they send PFOs?

In their email, it says "you will be informed whether you are invited to the video interview stage on or before Friday 8th December 2023." From that, I'm interpreting it as they only let you know if you've been successful and don't issue PFOs (unless anyone's already had one)?

I think if we haven't heard by 5pm today, it's bad news, unfortunately.

It says "whether" rather than 'if' though which makes it seem like they will send PFOs

I agree! I think if we don’t hear back by 5pm today, you just assume pfo and move on.
I just want to say congratulations to all of us for clearing the WG
That’s a big deal in itself.

On hold email from CC

just received this - what does this mean? is this normal language for PFO?
