What DTCs are still open and sponsor visas?

 

[username10341034]

Hi @Abbie Whitlock , please can I ask for your help with structuring an answer to a direct TC question? It is for RPC:

In what ways do you see yourself as ‘strikingly real’, and how does that connect with your motivation to apply here and your confidence in succeeding? (300 words max) *

I am struggling with the structure and understanding how to include each component of the question. Thank you!

 

[StressedNotBlessed]

WFW VI invite! Very excited. Any advice??
