Heyy! Are there any Pakistani aspirants or any international students here who could help me out with this?
​
Hey everyone! I’m 17 right now, and I’ll turn 18 in March 2027.
I’m seriously aiming to get a fully funded scholarship for a BSc in Computer Science at ELTE, but unfortunately, I have almost zero guidance about the whole process. I really don’t want to make any mistakes or waste my time, so I’m desperately looking for someone who has experience with this scholarship and can genuinely guide me.
As far as I know, for Pakistani students, the HEC nomination process involves the USAT, and the aggregate is calculated using 50% of 11th/12th-grade marks and 50% of the USAT score.
Unfortunately, I got 71% in 11th grade. I know that isn’t ideal, but I’m willing to work extremely hard for the USAT and try to improve my overall aggregate as much as possible.
The problem is that I have so many questions and no one around me who can properly guide me:
\\- What would be considered a safe/competitive aggregate for HEC nomination?
\\- With 71% in 11th grade, is it still realistically possible for me to get nominated if I score very high in USAT?
\\- What USAT score should I realistically aim for to have a strong chance?
\\- How exactly is the 50% academic + 50% USAT aggregate calculated?
\\- After taking the USAT, what are the next steps?
\\- How does the HEC nomination process work?
\\- How many students are usually nominated from Pakistan?
\\- Is there a separate merit list for different fields, or is everyone competing together?
\\- Does applying to ELTE for BSc Computer Science have any additional requirements?
\\- What academic documents will I need?
\\- Will I need an English proficiency test such as IELTS, and if so, at what stage?
\\- Are there any entrance exams or tests required by ELTE itself?
\\- What should I start preparing right now, before the scholarship applications open?
\\- What mistakes do Pakistani applicants commonly make during this process?
\\- Are there any important deadlines I should know about?
\\- After HEC nomination, what happens next with the university/scholarship application?
\\- How competitive is the scholarship specifically for Computer Science?
\\- Does being nominated by HEC guarantee the scholarship, or is there another selection stage?
\\- If someone has personally gone through this process from Pakistan, could you please explain the entire journey from USAT → HEC nomination → university application → final scholarship selection?
I’m genuinely serious about this and willing to put in the work. I just need someone experienced to point me in the right direction.
If you’re a Pakistani student who has applied for or received this scholarship, or an international student currently studying at ELTE, I would be extremely grateful if you could guide me or share your experience.
