Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading
The key word here is « final »: the chosen track is locked in when you submit, and changing it later means filing a new application. The right reflex is not to rely on internal funding, because IHS only points to external scholarships and a conditional €2,000 waiver. If your English is not already secured, take the test and lock in the score before submitting, because an outdated or missing result blocks you faster than a strong academic file can make up for it. Submit only when your specialization, language proof, and funding source are aligned.
