Where Sujata started.
An Indian bachelor’s and no idea it needed APS.
- BTech from a university in Bengaluru.
- Planned to apply in January for April.
What we changed.
- Her degree is Indian, so APS India applies to her even though she is Nepali. Nationality doesn't decide it; the degree does.
- We moved her start from the winter to the summer semester so APS finished first.
