Hello naomi !. thanks for the information given , I´ve been watching your videos to apply in this moment . l feel scared ahhaha greetings from Venezuela .
Hi Naomi, I had watched all your ugrad series videos during my selection process and now I'm thrilled that I can declare myself as a finalist. I feel so lucky to came across all your ugrad video on RUclips you know! Now that I'm a finalist, can I make a ugrad series similar to yours as well?? Though I'm very nervous because it's my first time doing this but I also want to be as helpful and thoughtful as you to others
Hello! Congratulations on being a finalist :) Very glad my videos were helpful in your process. Sure, I don't see why you shouldn't make videos too. Haha yes, I do blog! Thanks for your support!!
Hi , Naomi. Thank you for the video. You really inspire us.♥️ I wanted to ask you some questions, if don't mind. 1.Do I need to download certificates that confirm volunteering, etc. If so, where to. There is a place just to write and that's it. 2. at the end there is such an item as " email delivered " whose email should I write? 3. it possible to add emoticons when writing esse (1 or 2) .
Hi Wulida, you're welcome! It's okay if you don't have your English proficiency scores at the time of application. You will only be required to go for the test if you're selected :)
Hello Naomi! Thank you for such informative video. I had two questions, the first one is I have already gave ielts exam so do I need to take tofel as well? And my second question is, as you’re already enrolled in any university of your home country, do you like leave the entire semester and study in us and then return back and continue your studies and graduation program after the completion of this program?
Hi Shreeti, you're welcome! As long as your IELTS results are still valid, you may utilize it. Yes, you will study in the US for a semester - you can refer to my Q&A video here: ruclips.net/video/KhSPr5B5bTU/видео.html
Hi Naomi! Thanks for the video! I wanted to ask you two things about the program because I want to be 100% informed about what the program offers me because I’m a little scared of continue without knowing all the things. 1- Will the scholarship cover the expenses of the entire semester and the program that is offered or should some of the payment be provided personally? 2-Which universities are associated with the program? (I have in mind that the embassy is the one who chooses me a university). Thank you!
Hi Lau Mich! I actually have videos that answers both your questions in detail. Watch them here: ruclips.net/p/PLzcAOTu2au-7Lwer_4usdKFh4o35PabGo To answer your questions briefly, 1) It's an all-expenses-paid scholarship. 2) The universities which are partners with World Learning. And yes, it's selected for you by World Learning (not the embassy).
Hello again Naomi, You have been a great help to me since the day I started my application. I wanted to ask you if it's okay to continue my undergrad course virtually in my home country's university if the university administration of my country permits me to do so. I could manage time for my studies for both U.S. course and the course of my undergrad program. Will there be any ethical consequences and inconveniences if me and my university administration is ready to do so?
Hi there, I don't think studying concurrently in two universities would be an issue...although it doesn't sound like a good idea, considering you wouldn't have the time to fully experience time abroad. It's all up to you in the end anyway, good luck! :)
Academic: written by a professor/lecturer/teacher to vouch for/say good things about your academics & how you are in class. Personal: can be written by teachers/employers/supervisors...basically anyone you've worked/volunteered with to write about your involvement in whichever activities. *recommendation letters should not come from family & friends. **you can have 2 professors write them for you, respectively. Both letters should not be from the same person. Hope this helps! :)
Hi Wulida, you're welcome! If it does not have English on your passport, sure! I'm not sure if it's required, but it's good if you have it - upload both the original & translated copy
hello naomi this was such a helpful video but i would like to know if we should translate our transcripts in english or submit them in their original language.
Hi naomi ! Your videos has been really informative about this whole application procedure...I have got a question that i want to ask from u...the application form asks a question to know which semester do I prefer to apply for the UGRAD program? I want to know from u which semester is best to go the US considering the environment in there...can u suggest me which semester would be fine to adjust in the US environment for the Asian students?? FALL or SPRING??
Hey Naomi Ng ! It was brilliant video, i have 2 questions if you don't mind. Firstly, have you already had an opportunity on this program, if yes, tell us about your Experience, secondly, Do you have any clue about how many students would be accepted to this program ? Thank you !
Hi Ahmad! Sure, I will answer the questions to the best I can. 1) If you've watched my videos, you'd know that I've been a Global UGRAD scholar :P So yes, I went under this scholarship in 2017. 2) I will make a video on my experience soon. But for an overview, watch this video I made previously: ruclips.net/video/1H6ZEGixsI0/видео.html . I think around 250 students are selected per year.
Thanks for the information Naomy. But I still confused with the English proficiency test. Is it will enhance the probability of not getting selected if we're haven't followed TOEFEL test yet ? Thank you Naomy
Hi Naomi! Thank you so much for the video! I'm planning to apply this year. There's one part in the academic info regarding the toefl score. Does this mean the toefl ibt score?
@@anitaangelina8260 no, unless your local U.S. Embassy request for it. I believe the interviewers will have their copies through the online application portal.
hi! thanks for the informative video! I have one tiny question, I'm afraid my application wasn't submitted. when yours wasn't submitted the first time, did you get an e-mail? is that why you thought you submitted it?
Hi Aya! The status on the online application should indicate your submission. I thought I've submitted because I completed my application, but didn't actually click "Submit". The platform was different back in 2015. You should receive an email - perhaps check your spam folder? Here's an official link for step-by-step application guide : www.worldlearning.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Global-UGRAD-2019-2020-Applicant-Guide-FINAL.pdf
Hi Haven, I spoke about it in this video :) ruclips.net/video/KhSPr5B5bTU/видео.html Make sure you watch all the videos in my Global UGRAD playlist for more information. Good luck!
Hi Luu Ly Tran, yes it is mandatory to have an English test certification, but not at the application stage. You may take the test (TOEFL/IELTS) once you've successfully obtained the scholarship - the test will be paid for.
Did you transfer your credits? How did you do that? I study pharmacy and study is a 6 years study. I study by credit hours system. I want to apply for the Global Ugrad program as I see it will be so useful for me to benefit from academic life in the US. Meanwhile, I don't want to make my degree one year more in my home institution. How can I transfer my credits after finishing the semester in the US?
Hi Osama, no, I did not transfer my credits simply because I didn't want to. Credits transfer mainly depends on your home university, as the requirements differ - eg. for me, my university required 70% similarity in syllabus in order to be approved for credit transfer. So, compare the syllabus of the US vs home universities and bring it to your faculty office to ask. I made a series of videos on Global UGRAD, here's a FAQ one where I answered about this topic too: ruclips.net/video/KhSPr5B5bTU/видео.html
hi Naomi, thanks a lot for the informative video, I'd like to know when will the departure be? If I apply in December and after the completion of the procedures, assuming I got accepted, when will I go? May, June....???
Hello naomi,Thanks for the tips and all,although i do have some minor questions if you don't mind me asking(I know i am late ;d).Do you have some tips for the essays? It's relatively the same this year as well.Secondly i am really scared about the interest part(Hobby,What i want to do in USA,My achievements and all).While reading it again it seems really short,Is that a huge problem?
Hello Giorgi! You're not late at all! I talk a bit about the essays in this video and also a livestream on my channel. Your descriptions doesn't have to be lengthy as long as it's power-packed - wordy doesn't mean great.
@@NaomiNg Thanks for the reply naomi,the only thing i am scared about is that,the things i talk about in descriptions(awards,achievements) repeat in both essays.Is that bad? I talk about them more extensively in essays and rely my application on those
Hi Naomi, Thank you for your videos. I have checked an application website and it is still closed. Do you know when an application opens for this year? Thanks in advance!
Hi there, I don't have such information at hand, but I did a quick Google and the U.S. Department of State website states 4 Jan 2021 to be the application date. Source: exchanges.state.gov/non-us/program/global-undergraduate-exchange-program-global-ugrad Do reach out to World Learning for further information.
Hi Naomi I am currently doing my first semester and I would like to enroll for this program. I still didn't receive my semester results yet and the last date of application is December 15. So can I calculate the GPA of my internal marks and enter in the application
Hi Dhaarini, unfortunately I don't have the answer to that, as mentioned in my Q&A video here: ruclips.net/video/KhSPr5B5bTU/видео.html . Definitely reach out to your local Global UGRAD program coordinator to seek for their advice.
Hello Naomi, how should the comparison table be made between the notes of my country compared to those of the United States? Literal is to make a comparative table? Thanks!
@@NaomiNg Thank you for responding, could I contact you by other means to send you a photo or document that supports my question and you can help me? I would thank you infinitely.
Please take away my confusion. Once we submit our form,then it is possible to make edition and resubmit it. I mean can we make changes before due date.?
Hello Naomi, I'm a freshman and currently I haven't had an average point of my first semester. So what should I fill in the box with content: "your point average according to the system used at the institution at which you study" in Online Application form? Can you reply me as soon as possible. Thank you so much Naomi.
Hi Erkinai! I wouldn't say so. You don't need to write about so many activities where you were a leader. Maybe just one or two - elaborate on it. Perhaps even as leader in group class projects...or if you're the eldest your family...etc. Try to think out of the box :)
Hello naomi , I have questions about the documents that I should apply.......from where I should bring the transcript ...am I supposed to have a certified transcript from my college?and what about my new marks that I will have after this finals....and I am a dual nationality, which one I am supposed to apply?...
Hi Tasnem, to answer your questions: 1) Transcripts should be from your university, and to be uploaded onto the online application under "Documents Upload". Yes, it has to be a certified transcript. You should upload all the transcripts available first. If you have additional after the application period, you could send to World Learning via email (if they request for it). 2) You should apply based on the country you are currently in.
Hi Fatma! I've replied to your question in my other video. There's no written rule of the maximum number of courses you can take, but logically, you can't take too many due to time constraint.
Hi Naomi, thanks for the information. I'm applying for UGRAD but I still don't know what to submit as Transcripts because I'm still a freshman in my first semester and I still don't have any grades, what should I do? Thanks
Hi, I'm not too sure on this. Perhaps you can reach out to your local U.S. Embassy to advise on this? Maybe you can take a screenshot of your academic progress so far. Do check with the advisor.
Naomi Ng thanks again, is it mandatory to translate my recommendation letter in english? Because I asked them nd theyvtold me that a transaltion isn't necessary at this time. Another thing if you don't mind, Does it have to be handwritten or typed on pc and then printed?
@@senhajisaad3168 I would advise for you to have your recommendation letters translated to English as you have to do it eventually anyway. I don't think it matters whether it is handwritten/printed (you might not have the writer's signature if you were to retype a handwritten letter). Just scan it and upload online.
Yes! I believe the essays are the most important part in the selection/filtration process because it differentiates an application from another. No, I do not know exactly how many people apply to UGRAD, but I'm sure it's quite a number. The number of applicants selected differs by country.
Hi Munisa! Unfortunately, I don't think that's possible since one of the criterias is being a full-time undergraduate student studying in home country. I talked about it here : ruclips.net/video/VsnKuEBPg2E/видео.html (1:24) :)
@@NaomiNg yeah, I understood that application form is online, but I wanna know smth more about recommendation form. Coz, u didnt mention any info about this in your vids..
@@mansurxonazizov4221 hmm.. what do you want to know about the forms? If you've started the application, you'd see where to upload both forms - it's quite straightforward. My Q&A video might help you out too : ruclips.net/video/KhSPr5B5bTU/видео.html
Hi Naomi. Coud i ask something? I'm going to apply for the global ugrad but the application form requires last family name but i don't have last family name (my parents didn't put last family name on my birth certificate). Will it be alright if i just put my dad's name on the application form?
Hello Naomi💐 Me too in this year want to participate in this program but I do not know how to write recommendation letter and may I ask independently without any help could I do all things by myself.Could you please share all with all things that you do before study abroad In UGRAD???
Hi Banuchichak, unfortunately, you will have to be 18 years old at the time of application. You will also need to have completed at least one semester at university. Hope that clarifies :)
i have another question,for example if i really have just a certificate for the third place from box,is it necessary to send it or writing in application is enough?
You said that "application is the part when you sell yourself.Just pick up all your past achievements ,all the things you proud of,bring them up and put them in words of course".So what do you mean by saying "bring them up"?
Hi Yohannes! The status on the online application should indicate your submission. You should also receive an email - perhaps check your spam folder? Here's an official link for step-by-step application guide : www.worldlearning.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Global-UGRAD-2019-2020-Applicant-Guide-FINAL.pdf
hello naomi!! i have a question. they ask me for a valid phone number and i put my number but they still asking me for a valid phone number like im put in a wrong number. i dont know what else can i do. what is the rigth way to put it in? :c
Hi Blunter's World, it makes sense if you have to defer one semester and extend your studies by one semester. Unless you want to do credit transfer by taking the same subjects in the US as the ones in your home university, then you wouldn't have to extend it. Do consult with your faculty adviser on credit transfer, as it differs by university.
Hi Meanie Beanie, GPA definitely is one of the deciding factors, as per every other scholarships. With that said, it's nothing too much to worry about :)
Naomi Ng i wanna ask you another thing about the recommendation letter,one my teachers wrote me a recommendation letter but i think shE forgot to mention her phone and address,do u think that its necessary to ask her about it?i mean since u got accepted did ur teacher or professor provided all the info?and thanks:)
@@nawali26 Yes, I think it is necessary for contact info to be available on the recommendation letter. Although it may be a rare occasion, those looking through your application (or in other cases, employers of a job you'd apply to in the future) may want to contact the person who wrote your recommendation letter. And yes, my lecturer and former employer provided all the details. Just ask your teacher, shouldn't be a problem :)
Hi, I'm not too sure on that because apparently it the selection notification month changed... I answered it here: ruclips.net/video/KhSPr5B5bTU/видео.html . I think it'll be in May for this round.
@@AmirHamza-jb1zq The recommendation letters must be written by TWO different people, and of course they must be signed. Handwritten/printed doesn't matter.
now i am doing my third year of engineering and 3rd year will be complering in this may , then last year of my engineering left, am i eligible to apply
@@TarunSharma-fo8vh I reply to most, if not all comments :) Sure! Do watch my other Global UGRAD videos as I might have answered the questions you may have already.
@@mahamatmoubarak7285 Official transcripts are the results for your exams at the university (you may have several, depending on which quarter/semester/term you're in). If you have done your TOEFL test and it is still valid, I think you can also upload it. TOEFL test is not required upon application.

Hi Erkinai! I wouldn't say so. You don't need to write about so many activities where you were a leader. Maybe just one or two - elaborate on it. Perhaps even as leader in group class projects...or if you're the eldest your family...etc. Try to think out of the box :)
@@NaomiNg Oooh Okay thank you
Hello naomi , I have questions about the documents that I should apply.......from where I should bring the transcript ...am I supposed to have a certified transcript from my college?and what about my new marks that I will have after this finals....and I am a dual nationality, which one I am supposed to apply?...
Hi Tasnem, to answer your questions:
1) Transcripts should be from your university, and to be uploaded onto the online application under "Documents Upload". Yes, it has to be a certified transcript. You should upload all the transcripts available first. If you have additional after the application period, you could send to World Learning via email (if they request for it).
2) You should apply based on the country you are currently in.
@@NaomiNg thanks alot...I appreciate it.
hi naomi ..thanks for you amazing videos ...i wanna ask how many courses can i take *maximum* ?
Hi Fatma! I've replied to your question in my other video. There's no written rule of the maximum number of courses you can take, but logically, you can't take too many due to time constraint.
Hello! You mentioned medical checkup in the video, so what kind of medical checkup is done and what is the criteria to pass this medical checkup?
Hello! It would be a medical history & full body checkup. The forms will be provided by World Learning to selected participants.
I have a question i want more brief on how the essay is written?
Hi Amanuel, please be specific with your request. I have a video here that might answer your question: ruclips.net/video/QB55qvDrEWc/видео.html
Hi i just submitted my application last week 😊 my ques is.. how many participants per country is selected?
Good job! Participants per country depends on a number of factors, I don't know the number... but does it even matter?
Thanks a lot cutie pie it was really really helpful for me thanks again......
back at ya, cutie pie
Hi Naomi, thanks for the information. I'm applying for UGRAD but I still don't know what to submit as Transcripts because I'm still a freshman in my first semester and I still don't have any grades, what should I do?
Thanks
Hi, I'm not too sure on this. Perhaps you can reach out to your local U.S. Embassy to advise on this? Maybe you can take a screenshot of your academic progress so far. Do check with the advisor.
Naomi Ng thanks again, is it mandatory to translate my recommendation letter in english? Because I asked them nd theyvtold me that a transaltion isn't necessary at this time. Another thing if you don't mind, Does it have to be handwritten or typed on pc and then printed?
@@senhajisaad3168 I would advise for you to have your recommendation letters translated to English as you have to do it eventually anyway. I don't think it matters whether it is handwritten/printed (you might not have the writer's signature if you were to retype a handwritten letter). Just scan it and upload online.
Hello there,I've come to know about this program.im from india.how can I apply to this .
Hello! Watch my videos here: ruclips.net/p/PLzcAOTu2au-7Lwer_4usdKFh4o35PabGo Hope it helps!
hello naomi thank you for the video pls wth that mean Official transcripts ???
Hi Anouar, official transcrips = results.
Does essay is the most important part of application?
And do you know how many people apply to UGRAD and how many places there are?
Yes! I believe the essays are the most important part in the selection/filtration process because it differentiates an application from another.
No, I do not know exactly how many people apply to UGRAD, but I'm sure it's quite a number. The number of applicants selected differs by country.
Hi. My question is that I am an exchange student now in America. Can I apply to this scholarship? Do they give me another J1 Visa?
Hi Munisa! Unfortunately, I don't think that's possible since one of the criterias is being a full-time undergraduate student studying in home country. I talked about it here : ruclips.net/video/VsnKuEBPg2E/видео.html (1:24) :)
I saw the recommendation forms when read about Global Ugrad. Where should we send those recommendation forms? Should it be in paper version or online?
Hi Mansurxon, something for you to think about - is the application done online or on paper? :)
@@NaomiNg yeah, I understood that application form is online, but I wanna know smth more about recommendation form. Coz, u didnt mention any info about this in your vids..
@@mansurxonazizov4221 hmm.. what do you want to know about the forms? If you've started the application, you'd see where to upload both forms - it's quite straightforward.
My Q&A video might help you out too : ruclips.net/video/KhSPr5B5bTU/видео.html
Hi Naomi. Coud i ask something? I'm going to apply for the global ugrad but the application form requires last family name but i don't have last family name (my parents didn't put last family name on my birth certificate). Will it be alright if i just put my dad's name on the application form?
Hi, it should be...fine? This should be the least of your worries 😅
@@NaomiNg okaaay thank you Naomi 😊
Hi Naomi. What should we send in official transcripts?
Hi Zoirsho, official transcripts are your academic results.
Academiv results from school or university?
@@zoirshosaidov3265 university, since it's an undergraduate scholarship program
Hello Naomi💐
Me too in this year want to participate in this program but I do not know how to write recommendation letter and may I ask independently without any help could I do all things by myself.Could you please share all with all things that you do before study abroad In UGRAD???
Hi Aigul, recommendation letters are not written by yourself, do watch my video thoroughly.
And how about Motivation letter
@@abildaaigulkaldybekkyzy9717 I don't believe you need a motivation letter. Just fill up the application form accordingly.
You are right I’ve mistaken motivational letter do not need :)thank you 🙇
Hello Naomi. Do you know either the results came out or not?
Hi Zoirsho, nope, I do not have such information. I suggest you contact the person in charge of the program in your country.
When I can start my application? When is the application form will be open?
Hi, I've actually mentioned it in this video at 05:27-ish.....but you can start the application when the application is open ;)
Hi Naomi, thank you for these valuable informations. İ am freshman and i will be 18 in February, can i apply for Ugrad?
Hi Banuchichak, unfortunately, you will have to be 18 years old at the time of application. You will also need to have completed at least one semester at university. Hope that clarifies :)
@@NaomiNg thank you for the answer :)
Is it compulsory to give tofle exam even after being student of english medium school for more than 16 years
Yes, it is. As long as the country you're from does not have English as the first language.
Hello, could you please help me, why i couldn't fill those blank application. it shown a forbiden sign like stop sign, thank you if you help me
Hi Okta, I believe it's because the application period for 2020/2021 has not open.
But the deadline was decided in december 31, when it officially open in every year usually?
@@oktadian3898 usually November, I talk about it at 5:21 in this video :)
Sorry, i didnt watch d video til it finished. I just likee why I can't fill when you could. Then i typed this question 😂
Hi.im interested by this program because im concerned about it.so i want to ask some questions about this program if you dont mind.
Hi Moh, sure! Ask away!
hello Naomi.Could you write all the documents in order,please?
Hi, that's too much unnecessary work lol
i have another question,for example if i really have just a certificate for the third place from box,is it necessary to send it or writing in application is enough?
g
@@umarru3566 Извините, я не понимаю что вы говорите. "third place from box"?
You said that "application is the part when you sell yourself.Just pick up all your past achievements ,all the things you proud of,bring them up and put them in words of course".So what do you mean by saying "bring them up"?
еxcuse me what did you mean by saying all your past achievements certificates " bring them up"
It means to talk about them
Im afraid but I’ll will do it anyway.
Hi Tummoments! That's the spirit! Nothing to be afraid of. If you don't try, you won't know :) Good luck!
@@NaomiNg Thanks
Naomi, you were in the US for 6 months, right?
Hi SosYGMing, 5 months to be exact.
@@NaomiNg Could you tell me, if you know, how many applicants were shortlisted in your place?
@@sosygmingmc5030 I'm not sure how many were shortlisted during my batch, but 5 were selected for the program.
hi naomi
how do I know weather the application is submitted or not?
cuz there is no email comes to me that confirms my application is completed
Hi Yohannes! The status on the online application should indicate your submission. You should also receive an email - perhaps check your spam folder? Here's an official link for step-by-step application guide : www.worldlearning.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Global-UGRAD-2019-2020-Applicant-Guide-FINAL.pdf
Hey !!! May I know What is the name of the university that you studied in there ? :)
Hi Ahmad, I studied at Western Washington University. I made some videos on it too! Do check them out :)
What do they mean by '' are you committed to service in ur community !? ''
It means are you committed to give back to your community
@@NaomiNg should it be proven by an association or organization ?
hello naomi!! i have a question. they ask me for a valid phone number and i put my number but they still asking me for a valid phone number like im put in a wrong number. i dont know what else can i do. what is the rigth way to put it in? :c
Hi there! hmm.. did you add your country code? Perhaps you can reach out to World Learning instead.
Naomi Ng hello! Thank you so much! I already submit the info. I hope everything goes well! ^^
@@laumich1349 good luck!
If I get selected for UGRAD , will I have to face semester/year drop in my current university ?
Hi Blunter's World, it makes sense if you have to defer one semester and extend your studies by one semester. Unless you want to do credit transfer by taking the same subjects in the US as the ones in your home university, then you wouldn't have to extend it. Do consult with your faculty adviser on credit transfer, as it differs by university.
+Naomi Ng thanks
Will we have a say in selection of university in US?
Hi Suhas, no, everything is decided by World Learning.
Does your GPA effect your chances of getting accepted? Mine is 3.2 out of 4
Please reply when you see❤️ thanks
Hi Meanie Beanie, GPA definitely is one of the deciding factors, as per every other scholarships. With that said, it's nothing too much to worry about :)
Naomi Ng Thank you 🙏
What to type in current year of study?
Which year are you currently at in university?
Hi . this time uploaded my sop in last hour so I think there for I am not selected.
try again next year!
@@NaomiNg do you have email,I want to send you my sop.
Please reply

@@NaomiNg about ugrad
when is deadline?
Hi, please refer to the World Learning website :)
I wanna ask u about the essay,how many words should i write?
Hi, I believe the limit is 3000 characters. So just make sure you stay within it. Do as you like :)
Naomi Ng i wanna ask you another thing about the recommendation letter,one my teachers wrote me a recommendation letter but i think shE forgot to mention her phone and address,do u think that its necessary to ask her about it?i mean since u got accepted did ur teacher or professor provided all the info?and thanks:)
@@nawali26 Yes, I think it is necessary for contact info to be available on the recommendation letter. Although it may be a rare occasion, those looking through your application (or in other cases, employers of a job you'd apply to in the future) may want to contact the person who wrote your recommendation letter. And yes, my lecturer and former employer provided all the details. Just ask your teacher, shouldn't be a problem :)
How long it takes to select students for the interviews😊?
Hi, I'm not too sure on that because apparently it the selection notification month changed... I answered it here: ruclips.net/video/KhSPr5B5bTU/видео.html . I think it'll be in May for this round.
can Lecturer give academic recommendation letter???is it exceptaable?
Hi Amir, yes, academic recommendation letter by your lecturer is acceptable.
@@NaomiNg thanks a lot. Can he Academic & personal recommendations letter sign?hand written or printed?
@@AmirHamza-jb1zq The recommendation letters must be written by TWO different people, and of course they must be signed. Handwritten/printed doesn't matter.

can you help me? what is the Official tanscripts?
Hi Moubarak, official transcrips = official exam results. Hope this helps!
Hi Naomi. yes thank you very much for your help. The results Of the exams I did at the university? or TOEFL exams?
@@mahamatmoubarak7285 Official transcripts are the results for your exams at the university (you may have several, depending on which quarter/semester/term you're in). If you have done your TOEFL test and it is still valid, I think you can also upload it. TOEFL test is not required upon application.
Naomi Ng thank you so much. have a nice day
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have a few questions. Can u help me ?
Hi Kelly! Sure, ask away!
While going through the application, the questions asked in the second essay remain same or they keep changing them??
Hi Sameen, it will definitely change. However, it will be around similar topics.
Is there any gpa to get selected ?
Hi, there is a minimum GPA to be considered.
Hello there, I want to ask you a question about the recommendation letters. What if one of my recommendation letters wasn’t signed by my lecturer, is it okay ? :’) T.T
If you've submitted, I guess it's fine. But just a general rule, all letters should be signed to prove its validity :)
Hi dear~ Can u pls share the essay that u submitted
