    Yes, I haven't heard a thing from them. Had to go back and check my emails to make sure I had confirmation that I'd actually applied! They said in the email they would notify of the status of the application so I assume that means they will eventually get back to us...
    I havent heard either, but I do know that interviews have been taking place from what has been said on here a couple of weeks ago.

    I have not heard of any PFOs either, so it is possible they haven't sent their rejections out yet. Being positive however, I think we are on a maybe pile

    Shoosmiths e-mailed me late last week, explaining that my app is currently being screened and they will let me know the outcome on 16th Mach.

    I sent in my app a day before the deadline.

    Still nothing from:

    Stevens & Bolton
    Clyde & Co
    Macfarlanes
    Charles Russell

    Anyone else in the same boat?
