    Bates Wells Vac Scheme! That brings my cycle to an end - thanks to everyone on TCLA for their insights over the last few months!

    Did anybody not apply to FF? Genuinely curious to know their app numbers for this year (I have had an *insane* number of messages after doing the AC) 😅. May explain the difference application outcomes relative to other years... Keep going guys, you only need one yes!
