No, What about you?

Nada...But I know people who already had PFO, so that could be a good sign!

What questions did they ask u on ur VI? I got asked why Sh, why law, talk about a business model I like, talk about a time i worked with someone difficult on a team.

Yes hopefully its a good sign. I applied for the Summer Scheme only on 14th Feb, I haven't heard post-app yet. Likewise a lot of other people haven't heard post-app for the summer scheme as well.

You applied for the spring scheme or summer as well? and when did you get the VI.
L
I also applied for the summer scheme and did the VI in late Feb. 2 people I know got PFO's on Monday so the fact that we haven't may be a good sign. Somone also told me that the VI questions were somewhat different for every group.

I see, when did you apply? I didn't even get the VI yet, I dont know if I will.
