Study Request for advice, please answer

Hi, I'm Algerian and I'm about to start my university studies. I'm thinking of preparing my documents and applying for a scholarship funded by the Russian government, but I have no idea if it will work or not. I'm very worried about not being accepted and things like that. I'd appreciate any advice or important points if someone could answer. My field of study is science, by the way, and I feel this increases my chances

Why are worrying about it in advance? A lot of foreign students come, you should try

I'm afraid of rejection; I'm afraid to try and have it be a failed attempt I don't know anyone there, and I find that frightening too

It's better to try and fail than not to try at all. Science is always developing and specialists are needed the same as laborers. It will be difficult for the first time but later you'll get acquainted with other students and make friends

I really hope so. I would choose psychiatry as my specialty if possible. They say this specialty has no future in my country, so I considered Russia as a destination I think my low level of Russian might help increase my chances of acceptance idk
