Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The important word here is « essay »: selection depends on this text, not on a bulky file. Write a response that is short, precise, and personal, then have it reviewed for clarity in English. If your visa is not already stamped, deal with that first, because it can block the file at the decisive moment. The right move is to secure your status, finalize one strong text, then submit without multiplying versions.
