FutureDon: @dnpasion

Based on Prof godG's ordeal, it is safe to assume that your result has been temporarily cancelled.

Anyone who needs help with SoP review (not drafting o) can shoot me a message. However, it has to be graduate SoP (i.e. MSc or PhD) as I have no experience in writing undergrad's statement.

Walspring: You are not alone with this issue and if i may ask what did u score in your toefl.

That center you mentioned has been shut down cos of exam misconduct etc. But call ETS and lodge your complain and explain to them..

Wishing u the best.

Amefrica: Monday then.

Amefrica: Call ETS!

xandy84: Hmmmm.. Let me not bust your bubble but I think you are one a long things man.. God save us all..

Me- I did proper and extensive research on the internet.
Vo- what sites did you use ?
Me- USnews.com, princeton review.com and collegeboard.org
Vo- I love those sites, I used it to search schools for my brother. Do you have anybody in minnesota, you will stay with

Me- here you go ma..
She checked it and return everything to me "I'm sorry ur app does not qualify you blah blah, you can re-apply blah blah"
Me- thanks ma.. She looked at me with pity and shook her head. She said have a nice day

You people should try to point somethings out. No knowledge is a waste.. But me strongly think it was all abt the bank statement.

Thanks to Bigfrancis, fadinus, Ricky, imperiouxx, Kofsy(I'm sorry), Yvete, mamacita, orlarwalay, johnny p, tochium, seunolumonday(wishing you success), lisadem the list goes on.. I learnt one or 2 things from you guys, y'all are the bomb.

bigfrancis21: Go with an original bank statement. If you can't get the original bank statement you used when applying for admission, you can get another one from your uncle.

However it isn't a must the bank statement is printed to date, because the current balance might be lower than required. Tell the banker to print from that day last month or 2 months ago when your uncle's account balance was above the school's required total to 6 months back. For eg, if today your uncle's balance is lower than required but on 25 August, his account balance was higher than the required, ask the banker to print from 25 august to 25 february(6 months back). Banks do it. It isn't a must that you print from that very day of printing backwards.
