First, congratulations if you have just been invited for the Chevening interviews. Believe me, you have done yourself good in making it thus far. And you've just taken the first step towards a successful Chevening application.
You should be delighted!!

However, being invited for interviews is not the only step to succeed in Chevening. This is one mistake lots of people make.
That you have been invited for interviews doesn't guarantee you the award. In fact, only 1/3 interviewees eventually get selected. Have that in mind!

If you have just been rejected by #Chevening or any other #Scholarship, then this #thread is for you.
I understand how sad it can be receiving the "we regret to inform you.." email, especially when you were confident about your application.
This is what you can do. Please RT.

Personally, I was rejected twice by Chevening. In those applications, I felt I was extremely qualified with my experience & skills, & had submitted great applications.
Alas, I didn't get to the interviews on both occasions. Chevening felt they didn't need me!!!
It was so sad!!

Two things made it really sad.
1) I had put in so much effort, and thought I deserved it. I think many of us feel this same way when applying. But, when rejections come, we feel terrible.
2) Other people were winning even on their first try. Others winning even multiple awards.

Ces derniers jours, j'ai slide dans les DM de plus +500 professionnels 🇨🇬 sur #LinkedIn que peu je connaissais avant pour parler de cette bourse et les encourager à prendre toutes les infos en details, décider de postuler ou faire un projet dessus. Je continue d'ailleurs
Pourquoi #LinkedIn ? C'est le réseau professionnel par excellence où le gens peuvent être prêts à échanger sur les opportunités professionnelles. Je ne savais qu'il y a autant de congolais bien connecté s à ce network. Mais les autres RS aussi à utiliser pour atteindre un nbre
A fish has died in #Zambia.
Not just any fish, but a special fish.
A very special fish!
A fish called #Mafishi (meaning "Big Fish" in the local Bemba language)

#Mafishi was a good luck fish.
It lived in a pond at #Zambia's second-biggest university, Copperbelt University (CBU).
For the past two decades CBU students have believed the fish would bring them good luck in exams.

Hey 😍😍
Are you excited about CS @AMB_A_Mohammed candidature for the position of DG of the @wto?
Last week, we saw President Uhuru Kenyatta make an endorsement statement, an indication that he has complete confidence in Amina the person & her competence in this capacity.

But many of us are still asking.. mmm, but why Amina? I have a few things to say that maybe, maybe makes her the ideal
candidate from my perspective. This is a woman I really love and admire. #AminaForWTO

1. Amina is a #chevening Scholar for the year 1993-94. By this mere fact, you know that she’s an outstanding leader and has a vast global network rallying behind her. We are proud of her, and we are happy to see her fly our Kenyan flag even higher when she grabs this position.
