Two kinds of thing sit here: questions the published record leaves open, and points where our own reading stopped — at a login we did not cross, or a step we could not observe without applying. Each item says which it is. Both are reasons to ask before you apply rather than after.
Our research did not record an unresolved requirement for this situation. That is not the same as the record being complete — check the source dates before you rely on anything here.

The questions this situation leaves open, each with the document and date that raised it, and a note of what you have already read. It contains no personal details — you fill those in yourself before sending.
Same record, different reader
The identical evidence shaped for an assistant: supported facts with their grades and dates, the unresolved questions kept unresolved, and an explicit instruction that it authorises nothing.

Read them yourself. If one has moved or changed since we checked it, that is worth knowing before you act.
