arib on getting admitted. Feel free to share further details i.e. whether you got a call or email or portal update, any word on scholarships etc.
Thanks Naren. I got an informal mail from Michael first telling me that I'm admitted and he also mentioned about the fellowship in the mail.
Next day, I was sent an official mail with all the details. I have received a full tuition waiver, a monthly stipend and subsidized health insurance. Mike also mentioned that he didn't call to congratulate because it was late in India when he sent the mail. So admitted students can expect a call when a decision is made.
All the best to those applying. PM me if you need any further info.
As for the Kira video assessment, questions that are asked are random. 3 video questions and one written essay of around 300 words were asked to me.
Example:
1. Favorite tourist destination
2. If you had a time machine, where would you like to go?
3. Favorite teacher and why?
4. Hobbies or what do you like to do in your spare time?
