I gave them an email a couple weeks ago as I hadn't heard anything, and they said they would respond to all applicants by June 30th, with interviews taking place w/c 12th of July. I haven't heard anything either just to clarify, but they just said they had received a significant number more so than any other year, and they don't use an automated system to filter out applications, hence why it takes longer.
Ah okay thankyou so much! And what do you mean automated system to filter out applicants?
Do you mean like the personality tests etc? Because I thought they come after the firm has read the applications anyway?

    No, some firms use automated systems looking for key things in cv’s and applications. It’s a time saver for them basically. Just saves them manually sifting through every applicant.
