Anyone heard back from Arnold & Porter post interview?

Received a vac scheme offer this Monday on email

Hi all!

So I have an AC coming up in Manchester and it's going to cost me around £150 for a train and somewhere to stay the night before (I live in the south west but applying to Manchester firms as we are moving there in August). I've asked the firm if they can help with travel costs at all but they have said no. I've already accepted a vac scheme offer with another firm which runs in the last two weeks of June. All I know is that the Manchester firm runs it's vac schemes for 2 weeks in June too but no exact dates. It's likely that there will be some cross over and that I won't be able to attend the vac scheme anyway. Is it worth asking if they can transfer me to a direct TC AC now or should I do the AC and then ask if I can attend a direct TC AC? I come from a low income household and so spending that money on the AC is not something that I can really afford but I could pick up extra shifts at the restaurant I work in to cover the costs if necessary.

Would really appreciate any advice you guys have on this! I would hate to miss out on an AC as I know how hard they are to get and I don't want to be ungrateful but it's just not affordable for me atm

First, congratulations on your AC! Secondly, this situation sounds really stressful.

May I ask if you are still a student? Sometimes, there are grants or scholarships available for career/training opportunities. It just depends on how you explain the necessity of the funds!

I had my AC for HSF Summer VS last week and the anticipation for the call is killing me. Has anybody heard back from them (those who have attended an AC in the last week that is)?

Anything from Paul Hastings post PHirst steps app?

I dont even know if they've filled their scheme yet. All I knew was that immediately after I submitted my app on the dl, they sent me an email saying if I have not heard back, my app was rejected. So perhaps they already sent out interviews to those applied before and filled the scheme
