    I think they have two int rounds (July and Aug), so that’s probs why TC offers go out in Sept. The app deadline is June 30 and non rolling iirc.

    I am pleased to announce I got an SH PFO finally, it took 73 days post app but glad it’s over lmao. My UK firm PFO streak is continuing to expand. I’ll have Ashurst to add to the list next Friday! I think this is the 29th PFO of the cycle now. Hope Bakers works out and I get the VI stage.
