Application Process

Hello everyone,

I am preparing myself for the SA 2020 ( I know its early, don't blame me blame the process). Anyway, I was wondering if there is such thing as a referral link to apply, I have heard about them but not enough to think they're actually real. My greater question is: does it matter if I apply before I actually tell my contacts I applied? Or should I wait for them to give me the go? By the way, I am referring to April when most the applications will open.

Thank you
