    They said they would review apps post-deadline, so I don’t think anyone would have heard anything yet :)

    Yay! That sounds like good news, did they email you saying that they changed you to the DTC route? And when did you receive the PFO email may I ask?

    I don’t think it’s a PFO. It’s probably a glitch considering A&O Shearman’s portal is relatively new. I got 4 feedback report emails the day after I submitted the SJT.
