PERSONAL RECIPE OF SUCCESS (PART1)▪ Understand the profile wanted by LPDP – Achieve

balanced achievements in Academic, Leadership, and Social

▪ If your field is not an LPDP’s top priority (education, social, economy, art & language), you have to prepare harder!

▪ If you are into psychology field, try to adjust your research topic into priority fields and themes. Like health for example.

▪ Update your CV please! Please deh..12

PERSONAL RECIPE OF SUCCESS (PART2)

▪ Know yourself, your strengths and weaknesses. Strive to fill the gap! Knew I was weak in academic side, founded BUNGA Research Community to improve academic and social skills and experiences

▪ LPDP loves letter of acceptance! I delayed submission because of LoA.

▪ PhD in Australia isn’t like in Indonesia or US. There’s no classes.
