It's not about the scores - being excellent academically doesn't really mean much (contrary to popular belief). It's about how well you sell yourself and justify why you deserve the scholarship - which is why the essays are super important.

Because the Academic Affairs Office of my school will stop working in two weeks, and before that I can only get the old transcripts...

My concern is that, I am currently pursuing my major in Mathematics subject but there in the US, I am looking for pursuing Foreign Service or Economic Diplomacy subject.

Hi Shoki, it's up to you when you want to take TOEFL, I would recommend to do it after the selection period because: 1) if you're selected, the test will be paid for 2) if you pay on your own to input into the application, you don't get your money back whether you get selected or not. Regarding the timeline, I'm not sure anymore as it has changed, but usually around 2-3 months after the deadline has closed.

Hi Naomi Ng again. You said that in May you were fully confirmed and did you go to your university till next december? And you got your student ID from your university or host institution? Is it necessary to study the next year? I just want to stop. what will happen if I stop studying next year?
@NaomiNg
@NaomiNg 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Zoirsho, hmm.. I went in December of the same year. The student ID would be from the host institution as your home university would not have anything to do with your host institution/exchange program. You MUST have AT LEAST one semester to complete after your exchange program - that's one of the eligibility criteria.

Hi Priya! You will need to state clearly the history of which vaccination you have gotten, and take those which you have not. Yes, being an alternate candidate means you're first in line if a finalist does not participate.

@@sabinalyv5620 Regarding your transcripts, you have to upload ALL your transcripts from the first semester till the present. As for the visa requirement, the 2-year rule is more for those who want to go back to the U.S. for residence/long-term visa purpose i.e. study, work..etc (other than tourism). You can still leave your country. Google about the J-1 visa to find out more.
