@Jessica Booker Hi :)

Sorry to bother, had a quick question on general application submissions. I just submitted an application that had an online work experience section and resume submission section. I submitted my CV but not a cover letter as it didn't ask for one. Is that an OK approach? Would you recommend submitting cover letters in future if the platform allows multiple submissions. I know it probably would have helped but I didn't have time, so just checking how helpful it would have been to submit a cover letter too.

If I haven't heard back from the following firms by now (Katten, Milbank, Weil, Goodwin, Latham, Akin, Sidley Austin, HL, HFW), should I assume they're all PFOs?
Sidley will take time, Weil is still sending VIs (quite spread apart), and Milbank has sent out ACs for just Spring from what I've noticed. I received my Latham PFO, so if you haven't, I would take that as a good sign.
