AMA: Got into 3/3 EMJM programs I applied to

Hi everyone, I've been answering some posts asking questions about EMJM application processes and thought it might be helpful for some to ask any of your questions! Disclaimer: I am not a professional, this is all just my opinion.

Context: I applied to 3 EMJM programs this cycle along with a few other similar international scholarships (Fulbright, Foreign Ministry of Education funding programs, etc) and was fairly successful. EMJM specifically I got into 2 with the award, and 1 got into the program but as an alternate for the award. (Field: social sciences)

GPA/bachelors degree marks: first class -- not perfect though, did poorly in a few classes

experiences/application components: already have a masters, significant research experience (but no publications), internship/volunteer experience in my field of interest, one year of full time work experience at an international organization

Motivation Letter: told a personal story weaving in my various experiences into a cohesive narrative, what I want to both take away from and contribute to the program, just made a very clear argument for why I was the best candidate for this scholarship

Toefl score: N/A, native english speaker

Note: Apologies in advance but I will not be sharing my personal statement!
