You must have a SAQA certificate before you can offer a place. You cannot have an admission letter without a saqa certificate at UP. Only Stellenbosch and Cape Town Universities accept applications without SAQA verification.

Thank you! I already submitted an online application for SAQA, I just haven't paid and sent my application pack via e-mail. Please, do you know how long the verification really takes? I've read all varying answers online.

Hello guys.
I'm currently working on a Masters application to the University of Pretoria. I'd like to know if UP offers admission w/o the SAQA certificate. I mean, do/can they allow for submission of the certificate after an applicant has been offered a place?

I look forward to your responses. Thanks.

PS. I have already e-mailed them, but I haven't heard back from them.

Please don't just read and pass. Drop a comment if you have any info. Please

Good morning, Nairalanders.

Please does anyone know of firms that lend money to Nigerian students to fund their studies abroad (Sweden, particularly)? Before you ask me if I have had a second thought on my decision, I should say that I have, and I feel it's the best option available to me right now. I have been applying for scholarships since 2017 and have never won any! Name it, Erasmus, Turkiye, CSC... and whatnot. I get admitted quite alright, but the scholarship doesn't just follow, and I am tired! The SISGP was the last straw. I had the highest hopes for that one, but the list of recipients was released yesterday and I didn't make it.

However, I still hold the admission offer from my dream school for my dream course, and I don't want to lose it this time like previous times. Please help me, I feel like I'm wasting away. I need to be back into academia. Please, I'd very much appreciate any useful information about money-lending firms.

PS. I have checked online and I found that most of them target US, UK or Canada schools and/or US citizens. I need info on one which works well for Nigerians and has Sweden as one of its targets.

Admins, please help move this to FP. I beg you. Please

And this is the guy's point. The hypocrisy is sickening.

IDOH+ applicants in the house?

Ehn, just conquer from within.

Ha ha... I sure will.

Ultimus:
I don't know too. But internationally, we are still regarded as EAL (English as additional language) students, even though our national language is English. It is best to just submit the language proficiency test report given the circumstances.

Some programmes even allocate marks for the English test while some might waive it upon providing a letter from your alma mata that you were taught in English.

I suggest you mail them and find out possible alternatives for the English test.

Thank you.
Unfortunately there are no alternatives. My first choice program specifically says NO to alma mater letters. Writing the test this late is just a price I'm paying for poor planning.

Ultimus:
Yes. The application process (and portal) is all that is required to gain admission/scholarship into the EMJMD programme.

Thank you.

I really wonder why they require an English proficiency test from us Nigerians. It's what's going to delay my application.

OmalikoCj:
please, i will like to know my chances for the MESPOM program. i have completed the application my referees have submitted their recommendations. i had three referee and they have submitted. I have a CGPA of 4.03. i didnt write TOEFL so i used my university english proficiency certificate. What are my chances?

Who knows their selection strategy please.

1. Eligibility verification from Feb 2nd to Feb 23rd
2. Application Assessment in view to get a seat for an interview from Feb 24th to Mar 12th
3. Interviews (only for the shortlisted applicants) from March 18th to March 21st

...That's from the page of one of the programs. A quick one- how many applications did you make and submit?

Ultimus:
You are not applying to each school. Each EMJMD programme and its consortium of institutions have just one application process to gain the scholarship. I believe your application will be evaluated by all or some of the schools. Visit the programme website and familiarize yourself with the application requirements and the consortium as well.

I am happy Erasmus has gained traction in Nigeria. I believe past Winners have already started mentoring others. Read through this thread too, the experiences of others will help you. We can be like the Pakistanis that never fail to maximize their chances with EMJMDs.

Thank you.
So, applying via the EMJMD portal obviates the submission of applications to all three schools?

Thank you for the response. Have you tried Dropbox? If this problem still persist then we’ll have to send you a PM or wait for other suggestions.

I didn't say I was having a problem uploading it on a drive and sharing, I only said sharing privately would be easier for me.

Anyway, I just created the link...

Ejoooor oooo. Help a brother

The thread is replete with such links, brother. Read some pages back.

Postfut:
Why don’t you put it up here publicly so everyone can benefit?

Lovely suggestion! I'm all for public sharing, but then, the Grail is 21MB, and I'd checked- the maximum upload size for a non-JPEG is just 250KB. It's easier for me to share privately than create a drive link for a single file. I share with you, you can then devise a means to share with others on here.

doziej84:
pls who has a pdf copy of GRE VERBAL GRAIL

kindly share

You can check the many links that have been shared on here, it should be on one or two of them. Let me know if you don't find it, I might have to share with you privately.

Good day House. Please when sending High School Transcripts to WES, can I attach a photocopy of my original WAEC result and also, I don't think the school can send it. Can I collect it when is ready then send it to WES?

"Final Secondary Examination Results (e.g. West African Senior School Certificate) must be submitted directly to WES by the appropriate examining body for evaluation along with all higher education documents. No evaluation will be completed without the final secondary examination results (from WAEC)

(Now,) If the examining body gives you the document to send to WES, it must be in a sealed envelope that is signed or stamped across the back flap by the appropriate examining body. If the envelope is opened or there is no stamp or signature across the back flap, WES cannot accept the document."

The odds of getting struck by lightning in any given year are about 1 in 300,000. And although roughly 90% of those struck survive, the electrical discharge scars some of them with a tattoo-like mark, known as the Lichtenberg figure.

A lightning bolt can heat the surrounding air to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit (27,760 degrees Celsius)This is five times hotter than the sun

Are you kidding??!!!
