Where cases like this most often fail
What this profile cannot afford to skip
- ✓The relevant question is not the importance of the industry or profession in which the individual will work. The endeavor itself must have substantial merit and national importance, distinct from the field's general value.
- ✓Letters must name your specific endeavor and trace how your work shaped later work. Officers are trained that letters praising skills in general terms do not add value as evidence.
- ✓Citation counts alone are trained to be insufficient. Officers weigh a qualitative account of why the work matters. Show what the citing papers built on yours, not an h-index screenshot.
