is covington legal horizons just for students?

I think you could do either as it's still quite early on! I don't think anyone has progressed beyond/gotten a PFO post-WG yet so they're probably still doing the first review of apps at the moment

Thank you for this insights it is helpful.

So I am guessing is now PFO for A&O Shearman WVS, I have seen that a couple of people got invited to their AC but I still haven’t got the PFO. Has anyone heard back from HL after the second test(VI) ?
