I heard back a day later but it might have been because I emailed to ask about how long I could expect to wait before hearing- I framed the email so that I could ‘manage my expectations’ so there’s no harm in enquiring if you want- but they say within the week and I think that’s been the case for a few people on here
Thank you for this @Lawstudent1997! :)

The weekly updates have helped so much with anxiety over applications I don’t think they know how incredibly appreciated it is for them to provide us with an update!
Well if we don’t hear back by Thursday then we’ll be sweating into next week. Good thing is we can stuff our faces with chocolate. Fingers crossed guys!!!
