Haven't heard back from any firms in the past 2 weeks so I'm honestly getting slightly anxious – anyone in the same boat? :-(
Don't be anxious! I dont actually remember the last time I saw a holiday season with so many bank holidays. I think grad rec will start sending responses quite rapidly this month, so im sure you'll get some good news really soon :)

Anybody still not heard from Willkie after submitting their app last month? I believe there were some VI invites sent out yesterday
Hi @lawful_neutral216 - all those who applied after 13 December will hear back this week as mentioned in my email sent to all in December. Those emailed yesterday were notified about their video interview before the Christmas break. Hope that helps! Gemma
