appendix A says its not.

They said your proposal is really important. Ive got my proposal reviewed for 8 times before submission. I think how you write or present your proposal matters.

according to the guideline, publications are counted for research ability. I myself got 2 peer-reviewed publications and 1 submitted paper at the time of my application. I have got 38/50 for my research ability and 15/20 for leadership. these two portions really help as I ve got PGS-D.

My Academic excellence score is 10.5/30. I believe all the other people are getting all A+ and a long lost of scholarship. My scholarship profile is not prolific.

physical mail.

I take 40% as a reference. Since the acceptance rate is ~40%.

Received the ranking today. My position is very marginal and I feel extremely lucky to get the award.

who can control you?

other than this, the school u are affiliated with also matters. apparently u of t got the highest chance.

I think you just need to first enroll in the PhD program with a university. I worked for a while before returning to school.
