I’m joining the Ropes PFO gang!! Honestly not surprised as I was rushing for the deadline-onwards!

Does anyone know if Paul, Weiss has sent out Summer VS ACs yet?

Seems like rejections have been sent out, but there are still some people who are awaiting a response.

Has anyone heard back from DACB for the London office?

the test deadline for people who received the test last week (don't know if others had heard back before) is wednesday this week so probably won't hear back until then.

Is it regional offices getting in contact first or has someone heard back from London?

I am so sorry to hear that but you will get one soon!

Do you mind sharing when your AC was and whether it was general TC route or a specialised one please?
