In short yes - there is nothing wrong with a polite enquiry asking about your application status imo
Just done my Links AC - wish me luck
When should I expect to hear back?

Delighted to say I have just been invited to an AC with Weil, Gotshal & Manges!
Good luck. Really use the guides on here. The M&A, Private Equity and 175 questions guide. They are better than the bible!!! Though admittedly I haven’t read the latter.
After 59 applications over the course of a number of cycles, countless rejections and giving it blood, sweat and tears, I’ve finally managed to secure a Training Contract!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you to everyone on here that’s helped along the way!
The process is brutal and stressful!! At one point, I had given up! But, there is hope! Stay strong! It just takes one! Just one yes! Just one person to believe in you! The feeling of getting that offer is unreal! I promise you, it makes all the blood, sweat and tears worth it!!
#Keep believing! #It only takes one!
I’ve posted these lame movie quotes before, but remember:
“Others may question your credentials, your papers, your degrees. Others may look for all kinds of ways to diminish your worth. But what is inside you no one can take from you or tarnish. This is your worth, who you really are, your degree that can go with you wherever you go, that you bring with you the moment you come into a room, that can't be manipulated or shaken. Without that sense of self, no amount of paper, no pedigree, and no credentials can make you legit. No matter what, you have to feel legit inside first.”
“Don’t ever let someone tell you they can’t do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can’t do something themselves they’re gona tell you can’t do it. You want something. Go get it. Period.”
“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that.”

I've got a soft spot for motivational movie quotes!
Haha knew those from watching motivational youtube videos - always helps before starting revision!
Linklaters AC! submitted WG test on January 14th.
I don’t see an issue with this at all. Just be polite and say that you appreciate how busy they are this time of year etc. But there is no harm in wanting to know where you stand in my opinion
Yes! I think email or perhaps call them to chase up your outcome quicker. As Alice just mentioned there is definitely no harm in knowing your position.
Best of luck!
