Wow, now I can see how you guys think you are so smart by beating the system. Ranging from making fake deposits into bank accounts, or getting your source of funds from loans, getting a fake residential address to be invited for the entrance examinations. We will see if you are afterall smart when you get over here. VITO!!!!!!

y wud u say such For ur information, we do not beat any system! We work 4 d money in our bank account and peeps dat didn't work 4 theirs have sponsors! d embassy verified all necessary docs b4 issuing rp! So wher did u get d assumption dat we make fake deposit?? Some peeps are jus unbelivable wit their way of tinkin! Jeez!

Who is this?
Oh, wait o maybe RP officers are spying on this our thread...LOL. But anyway, all my documents are genuine and I still have my funds intact.
To all, try to get your funds and documents genuinely as we have been doing...
Is the bolded really illegal for those who did it? What if the sponsor obtained a loan for his/her ward and plans to repay from monthly salary? Just asking...

yes you should inform the other school of your decision. you shouldnt have accepted the admission in 2 places though

yes. it is a crime to borrow money for the purpose of residence permit alone. but your sponsor can borrow to sponsor you. so no cause for alarm

That is what I'm trying to say, that it's not entirely wrong, so far it's the sponsor that borrows and not the student. In my case I worked and saved for some years hoping to go and study in the UK before I discovered Finland, so I'm just asking anyways...

Me wey dey live like big boy for here. Dey turn up every Friday, pick unilag gehs, shano wole for club, live life wella, etc. To come go oyinbo man land go dey look thin babes wey no get front or back. The first 4 Fridays go hard mehn. Oh... wait, there'll be international students too o. Latinos, etc. Omo... I don happy again.

A school like Aalto enforces the acceptance of their offer... so once you accept them you wont be able to attend another school. However, I read on migri somewhere that once you are issued a RP, you may attend another school different from the one whose admission letter you used in securing the RP. You must however show proof of studying at least 40 ECTS before your renewal... Hence, you need to find out from the first school you accepted offer from, if their offer is not binding!
Kippis!!

Reads comment... LOL... falls down from chair... You are a bad, bad guy!!!

I be wan reply the Jarno guy wey dey yarn dust. I see say him don retract d post so I'll let it slide. Nothing annoys me in this life more than oversabi. We created a thread to educate others on how to boost their chances of securing admission and also how to prepare a close-to-perfect residence permit application to stand a better chance of getting an approval, one Jarno dey yarn dust about beating the system. Bro, before you hide behind a keyboard to write something derogatory about people's intentions, try to think about the content of what you're writing. The key components of this thread include how to pass exams, how to ensure u have money available so u don't starve in finland, how to spend wisely and above all NOT to try any shady means. No vex me o. After sleepless nights to hustle admission and money to go finland, u come here dey talk rubbish. Mind yourself o.

I be wan reply that janjanweed guy but God don touch my heart o.


@Sureb0y u don sign o, me sef ehn I go miss all my joints and my cow leg pepper soup o. chai, man pikin go dy chop boneless chicken, WTF!!!

If someone from the said school you're not interested in sent you the bolded, then I think all you have to do is to write them that you are no longer coming to their school... shikena!
A binding offer is one that you have to 'obey'; that is, after you accept such offer you won't be able to attend another institution in Finland during the same admission year even when you don't want the school again... Accepting an offer may be through any means (hard or soft) so far you already accepted....
