‘Confirm’ – these are matches you have applied for, been selected for and are waiting for you to ‘Confirm’ (your ‘count’ number will reduce once you confirm and your ‘My Matches‘ count will increase
‘My Applications’ – these are matches you have applied for, which are still awaiting selection (your ‘count’ number will reduce as the selection process is carried out – whether you are selected or not)
