Anyone can assist me?

I received unconditial offer from Uni of Liverpool subject to obtaining 60% average in my Second Year. The problem is, i did not meet that requirement. Why are they offering me? Besides, isnt that Unconditional offer does not prescribe the condition?

I choose Uni of Liverpool as my firm choice, UWE as my insurance. If I'm offered a place in Liverpool, can i now reject it and go to my insurance choice?

Well i'm not so sure with that unconditional offer that you have now, i'm guessing that its the uni accepting you without any other conditions, and no you cannot reject the offer you have now but to go with it if u applied under UCAS. smile.gif

They will stick visa (one page - similar to your biodata page) in your passport.

QUOTE(azarimy @ Jul 15 2009, 09:15 PM)

now they will issue a biometric card, similar like our NRIC.

hey guys..just a question here..
usually wat laptop brand do students in uk use..
how is the price compared to malaysia?
still cant decide to buy it here or buy in uk when i further my studies there
*
buy it here! laptops in the UK are expensive. smile.gif it doesn't matter what brand as long as u feel comfortable using it. but i recommend Asus as they have 2 years international warranty and build quality is good. hope that helps.

I would recommend Dell instead. Correct me if I am wrong but Dell have this "next business day" service and most IMPORTANTLY, they comes to you. Just imagine, you don't have to go across a big unfamiliar city to get to their service center.

Furthermore, they also carries International warranty. And warranty can be extended to 3 or 5 yrs, enough for your entire length of course study.

QUOTE(youngkies @ Jul 18 2009, 06:18 PM)
Dell build quality is crap, in my opinion.

In UK, for services, they dont come to you, nor you go to them. All you can do is post them.

true. furthermore u would have to pay for an extended warranty. smile.gif

I just did my visa 3 days ago.. The proof of money part should be troublefree. But i have problem with the last part - the fingerprint part. My left fingers are fine, but my right fingers have lost almost all of the fingerprint due to some sort of eczema  cry.gif The lady inside the room who was in-charge to take the photo and biometric fingerprint had to take my prints twice, having lots of trouble with my right fingerprints in the process. I pressed my fingers hard against the fingerprint device so hard it hurts XD. Anyhow, in the end it appears i passed the fingerprinting parts, the lady mentioned i need a letter from doctor to verify i have problems with my fingerprints when i reach uk tho.

1.) Will my visa still be approved?

2.) In an unrelated case, Did any of you used RHB bank to apply for your visa before? My friend might be unsuccessful in his visa due to the a lousy paper quality, fake looking bank letter (the one stating how much money you have in the account) The officer in VFS said, let the british high commissioner to decide  hmm.gif

thanks in advance  smile.gif

it should be fine. I had the same problems too, but maybe not as serious and my visa got approved in less than a week. biggrin.gif

maybe the chances aren't high if you have a student visa?
