I'd appreciate some advice on how often it is acceptable/whether it is acceptable to check up with a law firm on updates re your application in a situation where some time has passed since previous stages, and many others have received offers/PFOs. Being based outside of London, I have to plan the summer months well in advance especially in terms of accommodation/other schemes etc, and am working part-time meaning I'd have to communicate any absences in advance as well. I have another scheme right before and don't think its wise to book accommodation/flights (since refundable ones are much more expensive) before hearing back, as if I were to get the other offer I'd be staying in London for an extra two weeks. The firm I'm waiting to hear back from is quite high on my list, but assuming I were to get an offer, I only have another few weeks within which I could make the timings of the scheme work logistically and would hate to miss out on the opportunity if recruitment decisions take even longer. @Abbie Whitlock and others, could you advise on whether it's appropriate to communicate this to the firm? I've already contacted them once and only got a vague "we're reviewing applications" reply quite some time ago, after which it has been radio silence. I wouldn't want to jeopardise my chances by pushing for a decision, but since many decisions have gone out I'm not quite sure what the delay is.
