British Chevening Scholarship 2015/2016 thread - Post-Interview Candidates/Alumni

HI Abderrahim,

I would stay with my friends, also Chevening scholars in London. However, thank you for your kindness.

Which major would you study in ICL? I would go for Business Analytics.

Hi everyone,

I was so excited to see a Chevening 2015/2016 page on here. Maybe you guys could help.
I got the scholarship and one unconditional offer from Cambridge. The only thing is that they insisted on my CAS that I should go ask for the visa with the "original" of my diploma. Only problem is, my university hasn't sent it to me yet. Tried to call and write, no answer. I have an official copy tho. Will that be enough or will they refuse me the Tier 4 visa if I don't bring the original document?

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you haven't received the diploma of your first degree yet?
Or is it the CAs that you haven't received?

If it's the former:ask the university for a letter/statement declaring that you will receive the diploma-but that it hasn't been issued yet.

If it's the latter: There is a CAS statement that the university sends through e-mail. Copy that and add it to your visa documents. Regarding CAS it shouldn't be a problem as the CAS is an online document that the uni keeps updating and to which UKVI has access to

P.S.
Congrats on getting accepted at Cambridge! What yeh studying?.

Thanks. I'm pretty excited about it.
And yeah, I got my CAS. Just haven't got my degree diploma. The uni is closed for the summer. And the diploma is ready because they accepted to scan and send it to me via email. But they promised to send it by post and they never did. So I'm waiting. And stressing.
To answer your question, I'm going for the MPhil in Planning, Growth and Regeneration.
What uni are you going to?

Then I suppose all you can do is use the scanned version. sucks a bit.
I'm doing MA TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) -University of Manchester

Good luck!

Hi Lalaland,

I m confident that they will accept the version you provid. Furthermore, they won't refuse your visa without a previous notice, so if there is any problem they will ask you directly to provide the original and then you'll be able to explain.

Best of luck

Hi all,

Glad to find out a TSR with fellow Chevening scholars.

BTW, is there anyone heading to LSE this upcoming September? Or to London? Or to any school close by? Anyway, I'd be happy to network.

Cheers

Dear hoa91,

Ow you're attending ICL business school, that's great. Business Analytics is a very interesting ! I will be attending Environmental Economics & Policy

Do you know if there is a 2015/2016 chevening scholars facebook page.

Cheers,

I have a question regarding Uni applications, doesn't it matter if you mention that you're expecting your studies to be funded by a Chevening scholarship.

Yes, i think you should mail to Chevening Secretariat and let them know that you have offers from other colleges which might help in assessment procedure.

I am stuck in another case. I got quite good offer from Imperial College London however I was not confident in possibility of getting into ICL at the first place, therefore I did not include ICL in the application of Chevening. I'm trying to email Chevening committee to change the options but no reply has been received until now.

Haizz. Still a long way to go.

Hi Hoa91,

More than anything, I'm grateful that you're concerned to go to the extent of inquiring on my behalf, thanks a lot. It's relieving to know that that possibility exists. I guess I would now inform of them of the offers I have and hope that they consider that I have an offer (even if though it's outside the 3 choices). I will try to keep you informed on any developments on my end.

Thanks again, Wishing us Success
