DAC Beachcroft PFO. Hardest rejection by far. I'm not even sure this solicitor thing is possible for me anymore.

@Jessica Booker do you think it's worth emailing Hogan Lovells to ask for an update if I applied for their direct TC back in December 2023, with the application deadline being at the end of January 2024?

Anyone know if there was some criteria that I missed?

There is no harm in doing so. I know there have been some changes with their Grad Rec team recently, so it maybe that there are delays because of that.
