Good day everyone, I got around 90% funding form school for master to be specific got funding of 30k have a deficit of 3k.
My sponsor have a balance of 3million in is saving and current account just want to confirm if it okay for the embassy because I want to reduce the possibility of getting rejected. Thanks for all your input.

Bekindtoo:
Obviously, the balance is more than the 3k deficit when you convert it. So, it's good to go. However, is this sponsor related to you? I foresee them asking you 'how much your sponsor earns monthly/yearly'. So be prepared to provide a convincing answer. Congratulations in advance.

Thank you, my dear friend!

Our people have been ignoring the post. I'm most grateful.

Is it compulsory he sits for the SAT?

Any chance of getting admission with the results without SAT?

I don't think he's very interested in scholarships; admission first.

I look forward to getting a reply, dear brother.

Thank you.

Potbellied:



Frankly sir, I have not seen anyone who gets an undergraduate admission without SAT or ACT. (I'm not saying it isn't possible, I haven't just seen nor heard anyone)

I can even remember one of the senior folks here on this thread hammered on it the day he was advising a guy who wanted to apply to Berea College. I remember he specifically said that NO SCHOOL will choose a good application with SAT over an equally good application without SAT. I think he is right.

I feel that SAT is just a way of giving our results credibility to equal the US 's own.

The result you posted up there is not bad at all. Please allow him sit for SAT if the finance is available.

PS: You can also check prospective schools' websites, they have their specific requirements just like they do for Grad studies.

Ge0grapher:
Guys, is WES evaluation compulsory for all US schools??

sbot:
Good people,

Thanks in anticipation.

Not trying to disagree, but I got accepted for an undergrad biochemistry program with a $26300 scholarship without taking standardized tests. You can get accepted without taking the SAT or even the ACT.
Taking one or both of these tests will improve your chances and give you a slight edge over other applicants who did not take them but it does not guarantee acceptance(please still take it if you can). Ensure your O'levels or A'levels are wonderful, submit your secondary school transcripts, get your teachers to write superb recommendation letters and write a killer personal statement. Include supplementary essays too if necessary and hope for the best.



Also, it would be a good idea if your brother uses the Common App to apply. He can apply to as much as 20 schools and even get the application fees waived if his counselor or principal can attest that he will not be able to afford all of them. It is a wonderful platform, just sign up, fill in your information and pick the schools you want to apply to. You will be required to fill in your O'levels or A'Levels, standardized tests scores(if any) and GPA. Your teachers will also need to send the recommendation letters on the website. Upload your personal statement(you will be given a prompt) and supplementary essays(if any is needed) and fill in your extracurriculars.
It is a long process sha but it's worth it. Search Google and YouTube for more info.

bukhety:

But I'm curious to know, how are these agents able do it? Like, how do they get dates to sell?

sbot:


Sorry about your experience.

Please can you tell me the name of your school, trying to look for affordable schools.

Thanks.

Some schools are test optional too and others require them. Just do your research properly and see what works best for you. Good luck!
