I applied 21st November and haven't heard yet (portal hasn't been updated either). Not sure what to expect, but I do know someone who applied after me and has received an AC for Jan - not sure if that means PFO or that they're not reviewing apps in order? Who knows...Anyone knows when we might hear back from A&O direct TC? I applied quite late, so I'm scared they have filled up spaces by now... I thought I'd still give it a chance
