Hey there F.O. IronLion,
i went through the same thing! this is my 3rd application for the ab-initio scheme..last year, they asked for my GCE grades, so i sent out copies, they said they'd revert back to me by the end of may 2008, and when i called, they said i wasnt on the list..big mess..!
then, applied again for the december 31st cut-off, and got no response..i'm really hoping i make it this time!
all the best buddy..! Pamoja!
@papawhiskey: all the best with your direct entry application!
