I had an AC on the 4th of March and only received my offer yesterday. If you haven’t received a rejection then you’re still in the running!
Do we assume PFO if we haven't heard back from Browne Jacobson post-TI at this point 
On the phone they said they'd let us know by last friday

I had my AC on 26th March and haven't heard back yet either. Hopefully we will hear back soon!
I believe they still have more AC invites to sendDo we assume PFO if we haven't heard back from Browne Jacobson post-TI at this point
i thought they'd give feedback at that stage? so we should hear back something right?Do we assume PFO if we haven't heard back from Browne Jacobson post-TI at this point
They will get back to us regardless of outcome. There will be no feedback tho as its only second stage.
Have you heard anything yet?
Is it possible to do the Stephenson Harwood assessment in two sittings? Do the test on one day and then the VI on another?
Did mine in Feb (rip). For some reason in my head, I had the week of 15th April, but someone on the thread said it would be end of April to hear back from them.
As someone who has never done an AC before, what should I expect? I know there is going to be an interview, a written exercise based on a hypothetical legal scenario, and a group exercise (a presentation, I think).
For the written exercise, what sort of prep should I be doing? Outside of sharpening my commercial awareness, would it require some technical knowledge of a particular practice area and do I therefore need to understand how multiple different practice areas work going into the AC?? Also, does 'hypothetical legal scenario' more likely mean a case study or could it also be a letter-writing or proof-reading exercise?
And for the group exercise, how do they actually assess you? As in, while your group is putting the presentation together, is there someone sitting in a corner observing you all and taking notes? I am coming into this with very minimal experience and have only done two video interviews and attended one (non-assessed) open day, so if anyone could share their past experience that would be massively helpful. Thank you!

hi everyone! does anyone have any advice as to what to say to grad rec if you want to turn down a vac scheme that you previously accepted? i've been offered one that clashes which i want to prioritise but not sure what to say to the other GR and want to put it right
in mine they said “at the very latest the end of April” so I had hope it might’ve been earlier!
