Maybe a pedantic question also - but will offers be extended at AC stage on a rolling basis? I originally intended to book mine for next week but had to enquire about time off with work. Now I've noticed since Monday those times are all taken and I have to apply for the following week. Hoping this won't affect my chances?
I can't imagine AC offers are rolling no. Nothing typically is after the application stage. Is the AC virtual? If they aren't in-person I'd assume even less so. Do you know how many slots they have available? As it looks like AC offers themselves are still being slowly rolled out.

From what I could see there was 2 slots a day from Tues/Weds/Thurs. Then the next week opened up - so I imagine they are rolling them out that way

Grad Rec said they should roll out by this/next week, after I asked during the legal cheek law fair.
Was that for AC invites? Or just for notifying all candidates the outcome of their application?

Unfortunately in my experience if you're waiting +5 days later than other people for an AC invite, you're most likely waiting on a PFO. Firms usually hold off on issuing PFOs incase any AC invites suddenly withdraw applications.

Certainly not always the case though!

Just received my rejection email a few minutes ago :( I just wish they'd give feedback so I'd know where to improve. Does anyone know if I can ask for my score on the interactive assessment?
I think there's no harm in ringing up/ emailing if you are truly curious. Although, I would assume that your feedback report gave you an idea right? At the top it said how we all performed in the verbal/ numerical sections. And, don't quote me, but I have heard that if you received an under review email - that meant you passed their SJT. Apparently quite a few people did not according to other threads and GCs.
