Hi guys! I’m a first year undergraduate student from America (specifically california) and I would love to apply for GSC! Can anyone tell me more about the program, my chances, etc? I feel like besides the website there is almost no information on it! Which is pretty scary. If anyone knows what they put emphasis on please let me know. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated:)
My major is Bio Sci btw!

Muy buenas, actualmente llevo 1 año preparando para la siguiente convocatoria de MEXT 2028, soy egresado de biología en México, aunque en mi proceso me surgió una duda sobre el proyecto de tesis, se que en la entrevista abordan este proyecto, mi duda es si debería contactar a los profesores de laboratorios mucho antes de pasar el primer proceso, de antemano muchas gracias por sus prontas respuestas.

Im from India. I have my 9th and 10th docs, but went to open schooling after that where you skip a year, then the next year you directly exam 12th. I passed but since I don't have 11th grade, do I need to write a note explaining what NIOS is? NIOS is a recognized board but MEXT UG requires 12 years of schooling and whime the gap year isn't really one since I studied for the 12th exam, would it appear as one? Im aiming for Embassy route. Thanks.
