Also, Casey mentioned that EVERYONE currently sitting on the order of merit list from last year's intake WILL get offered positions before they start with this year's list, just a matter of whether it's towards the beginning of next year or mid way. So yea, just in case you had doubts as to if you'd ever get an offer.
Casey also mentioned that she was happy for people to email her in regards to the progress of their application (if they've been waiting for yonks), so there's no need to worry about annoying her.
