You should check the school's website because you may be eligible for the application fee waiver.

Nigeria is not among the countries with automatic app fee waiver. And I don't think I fall in other categories of eligibility.
I don't know what to do again.

Psalmist0101:
Thanks so much. Please I have a question for McGill application.
Will Mastercard contact the two references we drop during the application? This is just to know how we'll contact the referees and probably prepare drafts ahead.

Yes! Your refs will be contacted. Please only list those who will be available and willing to write good stuff about you. Good luck!

I did not get your question well. What do you mean by "email subject instruction"?

chrisseun:
How does one go about the email subject instruction? It looks confusing

Please email the Mastercard office at Cambridge and discuss the waiver with them. If the school doesn't waive it, hopefully, Mastercard will provide you with a code.

Psalmist0101:
Is there anyone applying to University of Cambridge Mastercard foundation here?
How do we go about the application fee please? The fact that we need to be offered admission by the school first before MCF consider our application makes it more complicated.

You need to calm down and check the website properly.

The school states that there are two options for getting a waiver

1. To be from an eligible country
2. To be an Applicant of the Mastercard scholarship

Focus on the pathway of a mastercard applicant.

Thanks so much for the link. It provided the answer to my questions.

Please I want to ask an important question. As regards McGills, is it better to use an academic and a professional reference, or two strong academic references?
Which is better?

You have 7 days left, you can try. I don't know much about the university application. I'm applying for Edinburgh

I have a question, sir. I'm applying to UBC's Master of Data Science, and my question is more about MCF than it is about admission to UBC.

Is there an actual interview by MCFSP at UBC, or is it only the pre-recorded video interview for the UBC MDS program I will have to deal with? If there is one by MCFSP, what can I expect from it (medium for the interview, focus points, duration, etc.)?

Thank you in anticipation of a response.

Dear friend,

Please, do apply, if you can get everything ready for the scholarship application before then (October 31). The scholarship application is different from the application to the school.

I'm also applying to UBC. I wish you all the very best!

Dear friend,

For the MCFSP application, I believe you can use a student/unofficial copy of your transcript. Just make sure your official copy (the one you will actually send through your institution) is ready when you are offered admission to your desired program.

Hope this helps!

Pls my refs have not received a recommendation mail. Does it mean, they are not going to send or they will send it later. Because for those that applied for university of Cambridge, their refs received email immediately, to give recommendations on them. But I applied for McGill University, mine they are yet to receive nor call them too. Meanwhile I provided their details. Pls I need clarity. Thanks

[quote author=chrisseun post=132404009]Okay thanks sir, hope is not an issue if my references have not received email concerning applicant recommendation. Thanks

No news yet, fam. I sincerely do not understand why they are still slow in response.
