Candidates who received their bachelor's degree from an English-speaking university are not required to take an English language test (i.e., they are exempt).

Oh yes, I am in for Round 1.

Round 1...
Also, are there any posts from people who went through the application process and got accepted?
It would be interesting to hear their take on the matter.

Simply checking on on everyone to see how apps are going. Has anyone decided to apply in a later round?
