    I try to make sure I have sufficient time to review their comments and amend my application (so what I did this time for BM was tight timewise, 2 days before only). You can submit on the TCLA website :) I TOTALLY recommend this as it improved my applications a lot!

    Gosh, my bad, you already mentioned that above! Well, well done for even landing a TC! I do hope however that it will be interesting and perhaps better than expected once you start it.

    Hehe, the layout was just different as in it gave you an option to start the assessment immediately via the email. It wasn't your typical "Dear XXX"

    Maybe, maybe not. I do see your point though. I'm trying to not make too many assumptions before I hear back as it drives me personally mad. Let's hope that's not the case 🤝 🧡

    Hi there, I am so sorry to hear you feel this way.
