No dear, it isn't. Go through the eligible courses, find the ones that suit you and apply to the school for admission. A decision can be reached in a week or even less.

Odd condition though. But you should pass the interview and get your unconditional offer. Which school is that by the way?

Yeah, very odd, my thought too. But seeing as I will be applying for a scholarship, it shouldn’t be a problem. I guess i just have to inform them. Cardiff metropolitan university

Okay then. Best of favours. Also remember to remind them that you're applying for the scholarship. You're a Nigerian, right?

Hello guys, might I ask what universities and courses you are applying for. I haven't received any offers yet since I only recently submitted my applications to Reading and SOAS university.

Nothing to worry about. You’ll get offers soon. I recieved from Cardiff yesterday and I applied only last week or so

Not at all...
You have plenty of time to gain admission and to start and complete your EAS application. About a month and a week more to the deadline
Recieved this from Cranfield University.

“I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected by the first selection board to proceed onto the next stage of consideration.

You have already previously been made an offer to study with us, so you do not need to submit anything further to us unless you have any outstanding conditions on your offer, then you should endeavour to meet these as soon as possible.

You will, however, be required to submit an application to the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) via their EAS system.

The final decision on the successful nominees will be made by the end of May and you will be notified, via email, around that time as to whether you have been chosen”


Please what are my chances of finally getting nominated by Cranfield University for the scholarship.
I have a first class and an unconditional offer from Cranfield University

Congratulations!!!
I also applied to Cranfield though they'll let me know of their decision by the eighteenth of February.
At this stage, its difficult to say anything about the possibility of getting nominated. Cranfield has 10 slots and that's likely to attract many applications to them. But with your first class, it should put you at an advantage, though.
Just keep hope alive. Cheers.

My two cents

Wow, congratulations!!!
Your first class truly puts you at an advantage. Ensure you write a beautiful essay on benefits to home country and you are good to go. I heard that section of the application carries most of the marks.

Thanks for the encouragement. Just wanted to ask questions relating to References. Are we only required to submit a reference letter if nominated for the CSSS, because that is the info I'm seeing in the CSSS portal.
