Thank you! I’m hoping for West Yorkshire 🤞🏾 wbu?

Same! West Yorkshire! x
They have just emailed me to say that they have my application but I hadn't submitted videos for 5 & 6 and to redo them. I emailed back saying that I had completed and submitted them and when I log into the portal it says "application submitted and under review". I now have to redo the videos 🤦🏻*♀️

I’m also hoping for Yorkshire… thinking it must be very popular!

Yes, this is what I was sent

Hi Tes,

Thank you for taking the time to complete your application with Think Ahead.

When I went back to the portal last night after she said that I hadn't completed the videos it stated "application submitted - under review"?!

I have just resubmitted them!
Ohh that’s a pain. I wonder if they’ll tell me the same as I got this email the day after I got that email

When did you submit your application? Maybe there was a glitch in the system

I submitted my application on the 25th October. Haven’t heard anything yet so I’ll just wait and see. Good luck with your application!

I submitted mine on 26th, had the email last night asking me to resubmit the videos. I completed that (definitely not as confidently as last time) this morning and she has just emailed me back to say that she now has them! Good luck with your application too :smile: x

I submitted my application on the 23rd, and haven't heard back yet! Anyone know if it's done by location? I've applied for Cambridge. Wishing you all luck for assessment days!

I have no idea how they work it. I think it's probably geographically though x

Hi have you managed to navigate your way through it to complete the video application? To the right of the welcome video tab, there should be another tab when clicked will take you to the video submission page. Hope you have sorted it x
