Got that Stevens & Bolton PFO like half an hour ago.. expected it tbh

I pre-PFO in my spreadsheet, ain't got time to be messed around by grad recruitment - as soon as I see other people got interviews & tests and stuff, it's PFO. Not been wrong yet.

Three PFOs today (Addleshaw, S&B, Boodles), all already marked PFO in my spreadsheet.

Is it too early to assume PFO from Mishcon Summer, since some people have already received ACs?
Yeah given I have only seen one AC offer and we don't know that person's circumstances (may have needed an earlier response for some reasons). Even if not (since others who are not on TCLA may have gotten ACs) I think it is too early to tell.

Oh facts. I head a week ago or so that people had gotten interviews for Stevens & Bolton so I already knew what was up lol. We'll be alright
