just been on the website it says virtual AC dates between February - March.
Ermmm is that for their placement only?

At this point its definitely a PFO if the dates are for the direct TC app as well.

I applied for the placement but I don't think anyone received an AC for it yet. Some people have got their PFOs. So wouldn't cross yourself off yet :)

Anyone heard anything back post-vi yet? Looks like this was the week people started to hear back last year!
Hey, I emailed for an update as I was starting to get worried and received the following

We have received an unprecedented number of applications that we are currently screening. We will let all candidates know the outcome of their application as soon as we can.

Hope this helps to put others minds at ease as it did mine!

Hopefully soon then! I saw someone received a PFO yesterday so might possibly hear back by next week!
