In the period 9 March – April 15 2021 the Evaluation Committee will evaluate all the applications successfully submitted by 1 pm 8 March 2021 and will draw up an Absolute Ranking List (ARL-A). Please note that this is the only ranking list that will be used for the awarding of EMJMD scholarhips.
Selected students will receive notification and will have to send confirmation of acceptance within 3 days from notification.
In the period 2 – 31 May 2021 the Evaluation Committee will evaluate all the applications submitted from 1 pm 8 March 2021 to 1 pm 30 April 2021, and will draw up another Absolute Ranking List (ARL-B). Note that such a ranking list will NOT be used for the awarding of EMJMD scholarhips.
The evaluation committee will then merge the two ranking lists (ARL-A and ARL-B) to draw up a final absolute ranking list, which will be used to award consortium scholarships or apply for other funding opportunities.
The Evaluation Committee will then meet again in mid-August o finalize the pre-enrollments and to remove from the list the students who will not have certified the accomplishment of their bachelor's degree (or equivalent).
