Programme Fit FAQ

Quick clarifications for the questions applicants most often misunderstand and reviewers are most likely to test.

Is naming a famous school enough?

No. G5 applications need specific fit: what the programme teaches, why it matters, and why the applicant is ready for it.

Can programme fit include career goals?

Yes, but career goals should connect to academic training and evidence rather than sound like a broad prestige claim.
