[QUOTE="gg999, post: 28827, member: 5640"] I know those that have not already heard back yet must be super anxious but all this speculation about rejection is not doing yourselves or any others any good. As someone has rightfully mentioned above, it is not a rejection until it is a rejection. These are unprecedented times, I am sure grad rec are working as hard as possible to review the VIs and will get back to you as soon as possible. Grad rec mentioned that the amount of applications they have received were record numbers this year. In addition, they are also having to deal with a variety of other issues such as the SQE, current trainees intakes and anxious future trainee offer holders. Refreshing your emails is probably not the best thing to be doing. I understand the frustration and anxiety, believe me I think we have all been there. The best thing to do is to busy yourself with other things, whether that be getting on with uni work, working on other applications or taking a well deserved break. You have all done so amazing to get to the VI interview stage, whatever the outcome is will be. There is nothing more you can to influence that decision. Good luck, hopefully you all hear back soon :) [/QUOTE]
