      Good work there. And thanks to Prof. for gracing the channel. I do have a question though... Does he mean that if an applicant has a high GRE, work experience, excellent letters of recommendation, great SOP and only a GPA just below 3.0 will not gain admission and let alone get funding ?

    Thanks a lot for your content Kingsley. I’m currently doing an MA in Theatre Arts in Legon but I hope to do a top up like an MFA or PhD in the same area when I’m done here. It will be really helpful if you could share content on graduate courses in the creative arts and the schools one can apply to and easily get admission and funding. Once again thank you so much for your great and insightful content.

    Please I like to ask, must recommendations letters come from the school, I mean must it be done by your lecturers. Can a clergyman give a recommendation based on his relationship with you, or your boss in the office?
    My two recommendations were don by non academia, is that why I was denied admissions?

    Hi Kingsford,
    Good evening from Ghana and hope you doing well.
    I have gained admission to two schools and that is University of Illinois Springfield and Niagara university
    I applied to work in the department for the university of Illinois Springfield and they asked me to provide two more recommendations letters . At the moment I am working on it but then, they made it clear to me that it is very competitive. I went through the website for financial aid and scholarship and I sent the school a mail and I was told I don’t qualify for some scholarship opportunities because the scholarship opportunities is only for first years
    I later went through the school website and I realized I can actually apply for financial aid so I realized I needed to fill a form, that is the FAFSA form .
    During the process I was asked to provide social security number
    I do not have American social security number I only have the Ghanaian one and is not acceptable for filling the FAFSA form
    Please what do I do ?
    It looks like I do not have any scholarship at the moment for both schools
    University of Illinois Springfield and Niagara university .
