Someone I know hadn't heard back from HSF for two weeks since their AC. They emailed grad rec on Friday and got a call around an hour later and was successful! Me on the other hand found out I was unsuccessful a few days after the AC! So I wouldn't assume rejection - maybe email grad rec :)- future solicitor__

Still haven't heard back from Linklaters WVS. I emailed to get my WG results - I got 35/40, which was in the 83rd percentile. However I have heard they put more emphasis on the CAAP so not holding out much hope haha- future solicitor__
