Is there any hardship to which you would like the committee to give special attention in evaluating your application? (500 char)
I was wondering how to go about the two prompts since they both sound similar to me. Will the transition into a new society as an immigrant will be a hardship or a problem in life. I apologize in advance if there are other threads that address this issue already. Thank you so much
The bolded prompt could be for your immigrating here and dealing with the US and how it affected your schooling.
The first prompt apply to something else. Pay very careful attention to the red text.
Although these overlap, they are indeed two separate questions.
