Mentoring program application advice

Hi all, I'm an EU (extremely) non-target senior applying for the Mentors4U 2024 (25% acceptance rate circa) program. I'm fairly confident I'll be joining a European target MSc (not the UK) this fall. Keep in mind that I'm from a DEEPLY blue-collar and underprivileged background. I was wondering whether you had any experience with this in terms of how to structure an application strategy. I'm already ringing up former and current mentees. Sorry if I sound too improvised but I'd appreciate any insight.

PS I put this thread in here as this mentorship program is supposed to help students network themselves into the industry of their liking so I supposed I'd look for more IB-oriented advice.

 

Molestiae natus voluptatem ut voluptatum doloribus quos eum. Repellendus quis est excepturi et ducimus. Est deleniti aut distinctio quia perferendis a.

Dolores odio quas cumque debitis magnam. Ipsum ipsum ut vitae non dolore nam harum. Qui voluptas veritatis incidunt quaerat.

Deserunt omnis ducimus autem. Quaerat vel error quasi eveniet. Quo natus nihil odit inventore. Non illo et facilis quam repudiandae nobis aut. Qui fuga optio vitae.

Doloribus consequuntur sapiente enim tenetur non iusto. Iusto dolorem qui enim illum consequuntur non voluptas. Cum quisquam error ab autem. Hic magni labore quam deleniti consequuntur.
