Have had a very similar experience. Haven't heard a reply for nearly a month.

Sent you an email around two-three weeks ago, and never heard a word

Has anyone else not heard back yet?

For what it's worth, I sent an email, but haven't heard back. Given the previous error, I'm curious to know if you received it!

Applied a couple of month ago but nobody reached back out.
