Does a high TOEFL score prove application quality?

No. It supports language readiness, but reviewers still need evidence of project fit, leadership, feasibility, and mission alignment.

What is a common mistake?

A common mistake is treating the term as a label instead of connecting it to verified requirements, applicant evidence, and the specific Fulbright award context.
