Is it worrying that Freshfields haven’t got back to me for svs? I feel like most ACs have been given out and most people waiting for responses are DTC but could be wrong. I’m so tempted to email them because atp I think somethings gone wrong ha

Oh thank you for letting me know. I still haven’t heard, not sure if that’s good or not 😂

I don’t think anyone has got an interview yet

 

[futuretraineeihope]

Anyone heard from Gowling post VI. They said mid Jan so I assumed it would be this week.

Thank you! They only gave me the 26th January

 

[ninarosee]

For anyone who’s currently in the thick of it don’t lose hope! I never used to like the idea that you only need one yes but after receiving so many PFOs myself that couldn’t be more true. Let's all keep going and we'll get there in the end!
