I haven’t heard anything yet and assumed that we would be told the outcome even if we were unsuccessful?? Perhaps they are delayed?

I presume that too! Probably because of covid-19, admin is taking longer than normal to process. I know I haven't won, however I am still intrigued. I just wanted to get another perspective on it.

I did the one about "What accounts for the rise in domestic anti-communism in the US in the 1950s and 1960s?" (feel like that is totally the wrong phrasing of the question! It's been so long!) What about you?

Ahh I considered that one... McCarthyism etc. I went for a Cold War one too- ‘was the global Cold War a new form of imperialism’. I’m sure yours was great!
