When you haven’t heard back and it seems most other people have.
Hi sorry to jump in on this. I applied to Mishcon in November, most people have completed their VI including people who applied after me and their deadline is tomorrow. Would it be worth contacting them to ask - I dont want to come across as annoying them and be pushed into the no pile but I am worried my app has been lost in the system!

Has anyone heard back about the HSF Summer Vac Scheme? I noticed some people on the student room have received AC invites, so I don't know how long to leave it before emailing them to check on the progress of my application.
