    Hey guys, about how long post AC should one wait for before contacting grad rec? Had an AC more than a month ago and still silence. Also, are PFOs post-ACs usually emailed or called?
    Emailed and finally heard back, unfortunately was a PFO and that’s all the rejections for my first cycle! Didn’t go as planned but everyone’s support and advice on this forum really helped me. Will try again next cycle for sure 😄

    Does asking for an early decision following an AC mean they're more likely to reject you there and then?
    It’s not as binary as that. It could, depending on the circumstances, work in your favour. But at the same time if you are asking them to come to a decision now, it maybe the case it is a no based on what they have to factor in now rather than later down the line.

    Thank you. How could it work in your favour?
    I must stress it won't necessarily work in your favour.

    It is just you are asking the firm to make a decision now compared to later. There will be different variables to consider now than there will be at a later date. Those variables could work in your favour in some instances or not in others.

    Hi everyone, was wondering how long you guys spend on an application and how far ahead do you start? Just wanted to know kind of a ballpark amount people usually put into their apps :) thanks!
