    did anyone not get an email from W&C?
    I applied mid Dec and havent heard from them since. Im assuming pfo but they can at least confirm it😭
    Don’t worry! I would say don’t try and guess how these firms work. Only god know lol.
    It’s not a pfo until you get that email. Maybe they are sending it in batches as they review?

    What does it mean when you have applied to a firm and suddenly that's the top firm in your 'recently viewed' on Linkedin? Does Grad rec often check applicant profiles?
    They often do but I would not know why. I am assuming that they are checking what you post and what you liked too to see what kind of person you are but I am just assuming here.

    Hi everyone, if anyone has done a Latham AC recently, could you please dm me (as I know that some people have already received their offers). In exchange I can provide detailed insight into Cleary or Sidley ACs.
