    Has anyone who who applied for W&C and selected the spring scheme nit heard back since applying? I can see people are already getting AC invites and thinking is it just a PFO waiting to happen

    Remember someone might identify or prefer to be addressed by a different pronoun, so to avoid offending them or being insensitive I think just using their name is best
