    This week has been so bad for rejections that I can’t even imagine a world where Frehsfields give me an AC 😂my brain can’t even comprehend the idea of good news

    Actually there might still be hope for A&O. This is what they said at the legal cheek fair apparently: "DTC result will be announced in next/second week of December and AC will be held a week before Christmas." Going by that, they still might send out invites next week...

    A&O not getting back to us today despite explicitly stating they would. How ironic lol. I thought the legal profession required us to meet deadlines and not set unrealistic expectations?

    imo they’re lying, or rather, avoiding the truth. In theory, our applications are ‘active’ until the point of rejection. I hate fussing over these things so I don’t really care, but I reckon it’s a PFO tbh. No way that ‘archived’ is in any way positive lol.

    For those wondering what it looks like. Either it means a decision has been made on our application or just that we’re cooked 😂

    Is it in person??? Surely it's online given how unreasonable the turnaround/timings are! Does "start making accommodations" not just mean that you should be available during those hours for an online WE?
