    I haven't heard from Forsters post app and considering that they have been sending AC emails, should I assume that I have a PFO?

    I didn't hear back from Forsters post application so decided to take one for the team and email them and just received a response stating that they will be getting back to everyone by next week. Not sure what it means in terms of AC invites though haha

    Did you mean Linklater's? Or Forsters? I emailed Links about a month ago after having submitted my application in December, haven't heard back and its not looking hopeful haha

    My application for Linklater's Spring VC has been on hold for months, anyone know what I should do about this, they haven't responded to emails. Still haven't heard back from Forsters yet either, it's very disheartening 🥲
