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- good morning ma
Vo- good morning, why are you going to US ?
Me- for my undergraduate studies in Political science.
Vo- where in the US ?
Me- Southwest Bleep Bleep university
Vo- how did you know abt this school ?
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- No, I don't. I will be staying on campus housing
Vo- When did you graduate ?
Me- 2010
Vo- what have you been doing ?
Me- I did 10 months A' Level and I prepared for my admission..
Vo- you used the result to gain admission
Me- yes, with Waec, transcript and TOEFL
Vo- (kept typing)(I can see she wanted to grant me, but she decided to ask a couple of questions more) Do you have siblings ?
Me- Yes, I do. I have one sister
Vo- what does she do ?
Me- she's just 5 years old. But I have a senior sister who's married..
Vo- clapped and smiled with me.. How will you pay ?

Vo- can I see his bank statement *the problem starts here*
Me- Yes, for sure. Passed the Affidavit of sponsorship and bank statement
Vo- she read tru it and she immediately raised her eyebrow I began to pray, so she off something and showed her colleague, pointing at the transactions and they were talking but I couldn't here. She ON the thing back and asked for my WAEC cert
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.

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.
