I didn't ether and Idk how you could? Although I did copy from the values so there is an indirect link.
I was thinking maybe like tie it to their culture at the end? But yeah you’re right, I’m overthinking, I was just scared maybe it’s somehow common knowledge that you should link all your answers to the firm even if briefly so I thought I might be really screwed

    Dear people from this forum, the wait is killing me, please support a desperate law student. Has anyone received PFO or any updates from the following firms:
    -Hogan Lovells (I did the WS on 04th August)
    -Stephenson Harwood (did the Amberjack on 9th August)
    -Paul Hastings (haven’t heard a word from them)
    I saw that some individuals received PFOs after the WG from HL. However, I'm unaware of the timeline on this.

    Edwin Coe PFO

    Me too!

    Last two days:

    Edwin Coe PFO
    Sinclair Gibson PFO (twice, for some reason)
    Birketts PFO
    Boodle Hatfield PFO (they already PFOed my VS, so I'd already marked them off)

    Paul Hastings have a "we won't even bother telling me you to PFO" policy, although maybe they've not actually got to that stage yet; not hopeful at all anyway.

    Just left with Walker Morris in effect, but basically my application season is over, failed :(.
