Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is « nomination »: without it, the file does not really enter the competition. The second trap is the fragmented calendar, because you must target the right faculty rather than a single deadline. To be credible, the file must show a clear fit between the research project, the statement of purpose, and the recommendation letters, backed by strong academic evidence. Prepare one clean dossier, have the faculty you are targeting validate the fit, then submit through GradApp to the right channel.
