The meeting is always an 1hr long and you'll need a good internet to join the meeting.
I hope I've been able to answer your ?s

phemmisky:
@hakeembee, pls which Sch/Schs did u apply to , cuz I applied to University of Tartu , and I haven't seen any link for payment of any application fee. I just wanna know if I'm on the right track with my application , thanks to you all

No application fee for masters prog in the University of Tartu...Jus go ahead and post ur docs asap.

brayan124:
Hello guys, I am from india and i have applied to Masters program in TUT and University of tartu. Can any 1 tell me that when can i expect Admission decision?

@UniTartu. May 13 latest

hakeembee:
First, it doesnt mean it happenened to me. To correct your assumption, the school sealed and stamped the transcript, but the reply from them was that the brown big envilop carries the currier service stamp ad not the school own. the envilop that housed the transcript was done appropriately. Their clam is that they should not envilop it agin with the brown envilop. What they concluded was that, Oulu has the finL decision on the authenticity of the documents.

@jeffoe and @hakeembee. I understand ur plight. Issues like this could be really frustrating. Unfortunately, there's lil we can do about it. I can't count the no of mails I sent to UAF as well as the calls I made when my transcripts were rejected. We just av to move on.
Also, I was able to read past pages of this thread where guys like @Olabode who applied to LUT last year didn't get admitted cos UAF sent their docs to LUT as being 'incomplete'. I just hope same feat ain't done again to present guys whom UAF told that the universities they applied to like Oulu has d final decision on d authencity of their docs.
All in all, let's just trust God for the best response.

Donald Trump, a front-line US presidential contender blast Nigeria for claiming to be giant of Africa. One of The highest producer of crude oilin Africa without nothing tangible to show for it. 56 years after independence, Nigerian leaders stillcan’t deliver“ordinary” electricity,water, home-refined petroleum products, transportation – road, rail, water and air – infrastructure.Here’s a quote from Donald Trump, a front-line US presidential contender:“Look at African countries like Nigeria or Kenya for instance, those people are stealing from their own government and go to invest the money in foreign countries.From the government to the opposition, they onlyqualify to be used asa case study whenever bad examples are required.How do you trust even those who have run away to hide here in the United States, hidingbehind education? I hear they abuse me in their blogs but I don’t care because even the internet they are using is ours and we can decide to switch it off from this side.These are people who import everything including matchsticks.In my opinion, most of these African countries [like Nigeria] ought to be recolonized again for another 100 years because they know nothing about leadership and self-governance.”
Pls, let's share this because it is just the absolute truth.

hakeembee:
Those UAF guys are demons, imagine someone's school sent Transcript, they gave it to a currier service who enviloped it, at the end when it got to UAF the guys said it was not submitted according to country specific requirement. This is because the currier service enviloped it with a regular brown envilope. When they were told that the envilope was used by the post office to protect the document, they refused to accept. When asked why they did not mail or call the school to confirm the authenticity of the document they said they dont have the resources to do so. Daft people, after collecting €100. They are racist.

I don't agree with ur 'racism' point of view. 3copies of my transcript were rejected because the envelopes used to send them were first stamped before being sealed. At first I also tot they were racists. But when I rectified this ish with my school's transcript officers and new copies of my transcript were sent, UAF accepted all the 3 new copies because they were sent appropriately(sealing the envelopes first before stamping).

As regards ur ish, how will u expect UAF to accept ur transcripts when they were being enveloped by the courier service and not ur school..Is courier service same as ur awarding institution as expected by UAF. Ur school, not any courier service, is meant to envelope the transcript. I believe if all necessary steps are followed by ur school officials who send the transcripts, UAF will not reject ur transcripts.

holythug:
@olabode; will u be notified even if ur not considered for the interview stage??

Which school did u apply to? Was it stated when you were applying that candidates for your course wud be interviewed? This is because not all schools conduct interviews

maestrojay:
Dose plans will not work oo.. by God's grace... see oo.. now wey i wan apply oo.. they should chill abeg...
Aniway.. thanks for d info mehn.. i appreciate..

I'm sorry but those plans have been implemented already and will be fully engaged from the next application period(Dec 2016). This exempts those who applied during the last application that was just concluded, that is, those who will be resuming by August 2016. I even heard that some schools will be charging €10,000 for tuition fee.

Bandeco:
@shayhun
What medium is the interview being held.. Direct phone call or voip (Skype, whatsApp, etc) ??

Skype

For those who will be having their interviews anytime soon, Please find attached interview questions I got from guys that were interviewed last year on this page. These questions helped my preps towards my interview with Oulu last Tuesday.
Other additional questions I was asked were:
What's the most important thing in your life, why did I choose Oulu/Finland, tell us about your undergraduate studies.
Please prepare well, be bold, look smart and get a good network...

We go all meet for Finland by God's grace. Amen

hakeembee:

@hakeembee, @nairaspace and all, please Is it normal? I submitted my online application four days ago, but mail documents and official transcript is yet to get to University of Tartu, but i haven't gotten any acknowledgement of the receipt of my online app,

@phemmisky. I got the acknowledgment mail one month after filling and submitting my application. As long as you have submitted the application online, having uploaded all necessary docs and have mailed all necessary docs to Tartu, you'll get the acknowledgment mail asap...Just chill.

jeffoe:
bro I am certain that the back flap was stamped this is the second time I am sending the transcript. Except they are rejecting it because it was certified true copy. I am thinking they have not processed the new transcript I sent. They already acknowledged the receipt of my test score but they have not acknowledge receiving my degree certifcate. That there uaf number isn't going through

Also, inform your school to send the official copy of your transcript to them and not the certified true copy coz I think that is another reason y they're rejecting it

Was the receipt of your test score the only new document acknowledged in this particular mail. If yes, then I believe they have not yet processed your new transcript considering the fact that they have not yet acknowledged your degree cert too.
But still try call them to confirm coz time is already elapsing.

mavinc4u:
i am curious because the delivery address shows TUT address and not UAF. please check the links; http://www.tut.fi/en/admissions/applying-to-tut/masters-degrees/how-to-apply/application-process/index.htm and https://studyinfo.fi/app/#!/korkeakoulu/1.2.246.562.17.36541415927

It is clearly stated on your application form that all your docs MUST be sent to TUT. This is because TUT is not one of the schools under UAF. They process their applications differently and by the way, you didn't apply to TUT on the UAF platform. Lemme also assume you didn't see the same TUT address which was printed multiple times on your application form. In fact, it's also stated on the TUT website that all documents must be sent to TUT. It'll do you good to read all necessary information carefully when applying to whatever programmes and schools.

If you applied to TUT, you need to send your docs to TUT not UAF.

jeffoe:
part of the mail i received from uaf this morning "i just tire for life"

We have received the following documents but they were not officially certified:
- Transcript of records

*We cannot consider the transcript of records to have been submitted according to the country-specific requirement. There is indication that the envelope may have been opened and thus we cannot ascertain the integrity of the envelope.*

who do i blame now. "which kind world people be this"

I also got this mail sometime last December. UAF bounced 3 copies of my transcript. The issue was from my university's transcript officer coz they put the stamp before sealing the envelope. I had to send new ones to UAF again and this time around, I had to personally guide d officer-in-charge on how to send d transcripts. Fortunately, UAF accepted the new copies I sent the 2nd time.

So I'll advise you to do the same. Don't consider the cost coz I spent 33,000 sending 3 copies of my transcript to UAF. Sending the 2nd time totalled 66,000.
Lastly, send it asap coz the earlier the better so u can know how far.

mavinc4u:
hello, please i need clarification on this to know if i am filling the right application form, does the application form consist of the following below. Must i write an English proficiency exam before applying? i would appreciate your response.

1Personal data >
2Eligibility >
3Study programme choices >
4Knowledge and experience >
5Additional information >
6Agree and submit
7 Ready

Yea. Those are the different steps involved when filling the application form.
Also, you need to write an English profiency exam like Toefl, IELTS or PTE before applying coz it's a requirement.

Another question

I want to mail my documents this week and I need to know if I'm to staple the application form which is 7-10 pages together.
Note: I mean just the application form, not the documents/required enclosures.

Growingboi:
Nothing can be done Except you wanna pay another application fee with different email address cox if u sign in with d previous email n u click on same programme, it will refer u to where u stopped before. i will advise you write a back up letter indicating ur mistakes n the corrections. submit with d app form.

Thanks. Will do that.
