I’m waiting to hear back too. Hopefully they’ll let us know by the end of the day

I would think so, as the first screening calls are supposed to be on Wednesday—getting a bit stressed

Yeah, same. I keep refreshing my email!

For BM, if what is said is true about one wave of applicants advancing to the AC and no PFOs have gone out yet, I am more inclined to think there is a chance it's done in at least two waves. Especially, since past cycles have included more than one AC.

Lets stay strong and give it until the end of next week before losing hope.

Have ppl done VI and gotten rejected?

Are FF invites rolling or is that it?

I think that's it from prior DTC posts

 

[summersun]

Has anyone heard from RS or an estimate of when they'll start sending out ACs or PFOs? I sent my app out nearly 3 weeks ago

Last year people got AC invites early/mid july but the deadline was later than this year so I'm hoping we'll hear back in the next couple of weeks. They are rolling bit usually don't send AC invites before their deadline I think and it was this week

Has anyone heard from Bates wells or Penningtons post app? For London office direct tc

Which stage are you referring to? As in following the submission of your written application question stage?

Does anyone know how rolling Sullivan & Cromwell is? Is it too late to apply? Does anyone know people who applied late and got called to interview? I’ve been rejected from my spring vac schemes so really trying to find some hope here

Hi, does anyone know if Baker and W&C allow for virtual ACs for those not in the UK/ sponsor their visas for attending ACs in the UK? Urgent! @Abbie Whitlock @Jaysen

White and Case holds virtual ACs. Not sure about Baker but they should.
