blah uh let's say let's say confirm okay
17:53
and then let's click on okay so we we
17:56
revised as you can see this is also done
17:59
and now let's click on submit page and
18:01
then this is where I will stop because
18:03
obviously I do not want to send them a
18:05
fake a fake um application by clicking
18:08
submit you complete your online
18:09
application once you click submit you
18:11
cannot make further changes without
18:12
contacting the admission staff pretty
18:14
much the same like all the information I
18:16
gave is correct and blah blah blah you
18:18
can read all these if you click on
18:20
submit then your application is sent
18:22
which I'm not going to do here and yeah
18:23
that's pretty much it uh this was the
18:25
application procedure it's kind of
18:27
pretty straightforward if you do not
18:29
mess up anything with uh like the
18:30
documents that you upload uh that then
18:33
you're going to be fine and as you can
18:35
see like even the system kind of finds
18:37
if there are some something there's
18:39
something wrong with the numbers you put
18:41
in for example I put in the same email
18:44
for my recommander and for myself and
18:47
the system kind of like spotted that and
18:49
said no that's wrong so if you do not
18:51
mess anything mess up anything with your
18:54
um documents that you sent uh your
18:56
application should be fine and well
18:58
that's pretty much it I hope you found
