    If Latham hasn't responded but we received a holding email in January should we reasonably expect a PFO or an interview offer for the Summer VS? Not sure how many people have already got Latham Summer VSs.

    Honestly, don't worry at all. I am sure I have made at least 10 errors in my applications for which I got ACs with, and I even secured a Vac Scheme despite my jarring spelling errors. Just have faith in the rest of your application and what is meant for you will always come by! So don't worry...
