    PFO from W&C post VI 😞 it was my last chance of securing a VS this cycle - 7 apps and 1 VI. Difficult not to feel like I left myself down but will stop wallowing soon and focus on the next cycle. If a firm says they can’t offer feedback, there’s no point emailing them is there?

    It’s been two weeks post VI, is it appropriate to email the graduate recruitment team to see if they have any updates? I don’t want to bother them of course so would really appreciate your advice!

    Congratulations to those who have heard back! 💗 I did my VI on the 11th and haven’t heard back regarding an AC or a rejection. Should I assume it’s the latter since some people have done and passed their ACs?
