Common questions
Before you ask
Until the window closes, or until the first reviewer scores it — whichever comes first. After that you can withdraw but not edit.
You give us their details rather than a letter, so nothing is waiting on them to submit your application.
PDF is safest. Word documents are accepted, up to 5 MB.
Everyone is emailed on 27 March 2026, whatever the outcome.
