I’m still waiting to hear back post VI and I submitted my application the day before the deadline and my video interview 9 days after receiving the invite (and it said you have up to ten days).

Same. Is it common (this is my first cycle) for no news to mean bad news or do firms usually let you know either way?

Agreed, it would be good if there was a breakdown somewhere with this data (although the list of firms provided earlier was good). Does anyone also have an insight into what the conversion process is like for different firms. I.e. post vac scheme interviews/feedback from your supervisors, or do...
