What should I bring if my proposal mentions both programmes?

Sources checked:

THE DIRECT ANSWER

Bring the complete proposal and a list of the benefits you relied on, together with dated official references for each programme.

Make mixed claims visible

Ask the adviser to separate the application process, financial terms and status description into distinct explanations. Keep any waitlist confirmation labelled as such. This comparison packet helps evaluate the offer; it does not establish that either programme has approved you or that a future release will match an earlier description.

The document failure is a proposal that cannot be taken apart. Benefits are presented as a list, sources are absent, and it becomes impossible to test any single claim without renegotiating the whole offer. The earliest signal is a document with no dates in it.

Bring the complete proposal rather than a summary, together with a written list of the benefits actually relied on, and ask the adviser to separate the application process, the financial terms and the status description into distinct explanations with a dated official reference for each. Keep any waitlist confirmation labelled as what it is. This packet exists to evaluate an offer, and it establishes neither an approval nor a guarantee that a future release will match an earlier description.

Ask which statements the adviser could not verify from official material at all.
