Hi Team,
I applied in 2024 with negative result trying to apply again. Since the process has changed a lot, thought checking before i send email. I am sending 15 docs as attachment is that all, or am i missing anything?
Checklist
CV
3 Recommendation letter
4 MC evidences
3 OC2 evidences
3 OC3 evidences
overall 15 docs?
Plus want to know impact of having supporting letter in evidences from 2024, a few letters I couldn’t get resigned with new dates.
Thanks
Old letters from your 2024 attempt are usable in principle, but they carry credibility risk. Assessors read supporting letters as active endorsements, not archival material. A referee who couldn’t be reached to update the date signals they may not be as engaged with your work today as when they first wrote it, and that framing dilutes the strength of the endorsement regardless of what the letter actually says.
For the ones you couldn’t re-date, worth asking whether they’d send a short refreshed paragraph acknowledging your recent work. Even a single paragraph appended to the original, dated now, changes how the letter reads. If a referee genuinely can’t be reached, better to substitute than to include a stale letter that raises the question in the reviewer’s mind.
Your MC/OC counts meet the “at least 2” and “at least 4” minimums in the Guide, so the totals aren’t the issue. Worth asking whether every piece pulls its weight though. If any of the 4 MC pieces is weaker than the others, cutting it strengthens the bundle rather than dilutes it. Panel feedback consistently notes that assessors weight the strongest pieces heaviest, so padding to hit a number rarely helps a resubmission.
Thanks, can dec 2025 be considered recent, I was hoping yes
