Has anybody applied to this? Would be interested to know! If not, go and check it out-it looks pretty interesting!

I've had my app sitting on my desktop for over a month now, it sounds pretty good

Yeah definitely of interest, I still haven't done the application though!

I too have had the application saved on my desktop for quite some time now. Incidentally, was anyone here on the ICS scheme sponored by DfID?

I have almost finished the application. It's pretty difficult to actually fit the answers to the competency questions within 200 words.

i really struggled with the 200 word limit. Any idea when we're going to start hearing?

No idea, I got a confirmation email the other day.

DFID?

Department for International Development.

You're the leader of the TSR Conservative Party?

We don't abbreviate it, hence why i was unsure.

Anyone else applied for this? Submitted my application form today, but haven't had a confirmation email or anything yet.

Do confirmation emails generally get sent out automatically?

Not automatically but they've certainly confirmed my application.

[monthen]

OK, thanks. Roughly how long after you submitted it did you get confirmation? I'm slightly concerned as I submitted it yesterday, on time, but have yet to hear from DFID that the application's been received.

I imagine it's fine, and that they just had a flurry of last-minute applications to deal with, but want to make sure it hasn't been lost in the ether....

I got mine two days after submission.

[ellie_flower]

when was the deadline? Do you think we'll start to hear things from them soon?

[monthen]

The deadline was yesterday at midnight, I think. They did say that they've had 'a large number of applications' (though they all say that), so I suppose it might take a while to hear anything back.

Was quite a struggle getting some of the responses down to 100/200 words...

Well, the first AC is next month so they must be getting back to the first cohort soon I should think.
