    It just reads like a holding email! I wouldn’t read too much into it, perhaps they’ve had a lot of people contacting grad rec asking for updates? Big time sink for them fielding those sorts of enquiries!

    Think it was 2 mins for both but the above post mentions 1 + 2 in the prep hub so perhaps my memory of yesterday is hazy 😝
