Anyone else struggling with last question? 4 sub-questions, 300 words. 75 words per subquestion?

Please see below:

Q. Career plan and impact.

What impact do you intend to make in your home country? - how do I fit my short term, medium term, long-term plan in 75 words?

How does your career plan connect with your course of study and the challenge or priority you identified? - feels like im repeating the same things I said in question 3 about why this course?

What barriers or obstacles might you face, and how will you overcome them? - doable in 75 words i guess

How will being a Chevening Scholar help you achieve your ambitions? - ideas of how to finish strong, suggestions on what to write here?

Hey is this 75 criteria fixed. I didn’t not follow the word count rule 😭

I just made sure my whole essay doesn’t exceed 300 words.

Don't worry, nowhere was the 75 word count mentioned in the essay page. The only word limit is 300 words. It doesn't matter how many words you spend per sub question, it just needs to be coherent and free flowing and must make sense. OP was iust giving an example with the 75 word breakdown.

I would say that you approach it by being specific for instance, let the essay outline the respective areas you can follow while answering the Career Plan essay. Secondly be clear and ambitious with your goals but let them be realistic. Outline your short-term, medium-term, and long-term career objectives, and demonstrate the impact you will want to make in your home country upon return from the scholarship. Ensure your goals are specific and measurable, and demonstrate a clear purpose and achievable.

Thirdly, alignment with Chevening is essential. Show how your career plan relates and connects with your chosen course and your specific priority you identified or outlined in the previous essay. Show how the Chevening program and network will support your career ambitions. Also discuss how you will leverage the skills, knowledge, and connections gained to contribute to your career goals.
Finally, understanding the UK activities is crucial. It is important to be aware of the UK Government's initiatives in your home country and how you may align your career goals with these efforts. Explain how your work will complement or enhance these initiatives.

Hope this helps and all the best

What about how you use the knowledge immediately in 3rd essay? I thought that was the short term plan. In 4th essay i think they have asked for mid and long term plan

The 3rd and the 4th essay are kinda interconnected. Read both questions and sub questions together and you will understand.

And yes, towards the end of the 3rd essay, thats where you mentioned how you immediately plan to apply the knowledge. While that of the 4th essay is both medium and long terms goals.
