@pahuja Thank you for the tip, any tips on which one I should move? i was feeling like I will weaken oc2 if I move anything out they all feel like weak prrofs to me in oc2 :stuck_out_tongue:

thank you so much @hsafra . and thank you for all the help and guidance.

One thing, should I leave the unstructured mentorship proofs or remove them?

ADPList is not considered valid anymore by TN so best to remove it - showcase what is 100% sureshot, you dont want to give them even 1 reason to flag or reject any criteria evidence.

I would humbly disagree with @pahuja on this point - I think that since it’s only part of the document and you have the conference references in the same evidence by it’s worth keeping.
Even though it’s not structured it paints a good picture of you as someone that helps the community

@hsafra @pahuja in my personal statement i have added one small paragraph (15 lines) of what I will do in UK.
basically said that I will work on the tool that got industry traction and will continue working in my current job.

Is that enough or we need like a page long description of the UK part?

That should be fine. Remember that you have a 1000 word limit on the personal statement.
