Did anyone hear back?
Nobody I've talked to has heard back - maybe they are taking longer than anticipated to make their decisions, and also I read on the email it says that the firm reserves the right to withdraw an offer if you do not provide the DBS docs within 3 days of receipt of your VS offer. I guess that's the real deadline for submitting the docs so there may still be hope!

Did anyone get a VS offer/rejection yet?

Everyone from my uni(like 3-4 people) haven't heard back. It makes me think that no one was offered/rejected?

Also, re the DBS check, the email says it's due by 8th Feb. The way I see it, it doesn't mean anyone that correlates to the offers, perhaps its just needed for their HR/admin purposes?

All the very best!
