Financial Certification

[kobie]

I am having trouble with the financial certification stuff.

Some schools request the completion of the form accompanied by a bank statement showing the availability of an amount equivalent to at least one year of expenditure (tuition+fee+living expense) before the application is considered complete.

The others are more lenient and don't require these until they give the applicants the official admission.

The matter is I can't by any means provide such document and my parents can't support me either.

My enrollment is completely dependent upon their funding decision, therefore I find it kidda ironical to request those.

I am gonna contact those schools to ask if I can waive this until after I receive their official admission decision or not.

And if they insist of sending those, I guess I will just fill in zero $ in the form whithout any bank documents accompanying.

Have you guys faced this problem? How did you do about this?

Best thing is indeed to contact the school and ask for instructions. What I did was write some ridiculously low amount (a few hundred dollars, if I remember correctly), and make it clear on the form that I needed full funding from the institution if I were to attend it.
