3. Why did you choose that university?
4. Why did you choose to study in the UK?
5. What are your future plans upon graduation?

Thanks

To the house, to those who have gone thru the interview stage, what kinda questions do they ask?

agates: @ justwise and everyone I have submitted my application ystdy oo. Scared cos I stammered a bit during the interview and I practiced o. It all happened so fast. I also didn't attach the conversion rate be cos I had more than enough funds in my account. Hope that's not a problem.

@agates ... what were the interview questions like?

justwise:

That is not an issue since you have more than enough, it becomes an issue when exchange rate fluctuations affects your balance.

@agates and justwise.... what were the interview questions like?

You have already been advised by @SpikesC and Oga @Justwise, but I just want to add this:

I know someone who got refused because the ECO got mistakened about the date the funds was deposited as ECO didn't look at the period the account statement was printed (the complete money was there for over 28 days). The applicant didn't include transactions that made the money complete so the ECO just started counting from the first transaction to the printed date and it fell short of 28 days, hence refusal.

I know what I just wrote may be confusing but my point now is this: Make sure the transaction that made your required money complete is reflected in your statement. Then preferably, in case no transaction occurred during the waiting period, you can withdraw/deposit a little amount of money to reflect another transaction (perhaps a day before you will print the statement). This is so as to avoid any form of misunderstanding because you won't be sitting beside the ECO to point anything out while a decision is being made.

@DonOms, the above was ur response to my earlier query. In respect to the first paragraph, I opened a new account on the 9th and d bulk transaction was made once for the maintenance fund and balance of school fees the following day being 10th July. So far, I;ve been counting the 28 day period. The cash in account is excess of which I recently made a withdrawal and didn’t affect the required funds. So am I on the right track printing my statement from 10th July to 8th August? So the ECO doesn’t mistake anything

@DonOms, tanx. Its actually july 10th – august 8th buh I figured. Well will print 11th cos 9th and 10th falls during the weekend. And I also intend to apply probably 11th or 12th of august so I can get an early interview date for submission.

@DonOms, so what are the best possible dates to print statement (from when to when - since deposit was made 10th July 2014) and possibly when to do last transaction. this will serve as a guide to the bank staff

@DonOms, so what are the best possible dates to print statement (from when to when - since deposit was made 10th July 2014) and possibly when to do last transaction. this will serve as a guide to the bank staff

thanks all. u guys hv been helpful

ur threads advices one to make a little deposit or withdraw to show a closing balance. so i will love to know at what date in particular this cld be done before printing

Please advice

I deposited the balance of maintenance and balance of school fees on 10th July 2014, when is the best possible date to make last transaction, best date to print statement and wen to apply?

Again, i have well over more than the amount cos i calculated my total of maintenance fund and balance with a GRP of 300pounds to be a on a safer side and still have extras. So can i make withdraws and equally put back the money in beats so activities can go and about with the said account rather than jus leaving it?

Question:
From recent threads, I;ve noticed people printing the conversion rate from Oanda.
Should this be printed from d date money of maintenance fee and balance of school fees was paid into personal account or rather at the end of the 28 day period? Cos i knw d exchange range tends to fluctuates

In what best way do you think I can draft it as I have not applied yet.
Just waiting for the 28 day period to elapse
