anyone else just received this email from Latham for spring VS application?

Thank you for your application to the vacation scheme at Latham & Watkins.

Due to the volume of applications we received we are still working through reviewing these. We are therefore hoping to provide you with a further update on the status of your application within the end of February.

Thank you in advance for your continued patience.

Should I keep my hopes up or just give up on Latham?

I have just got the SJT. Submitted my application on the deadline. I am assuming the SJT is automatic?
