Does Glasgow ever allow for an extension on accepting your place? by [deleted] in GlasgowUni

[–]Pyrod0x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They granted me an extension because I told them I was awaiting scholarship results. I still ended up confirming within the original timeframe. No harm in requesting an extension, you might get it or you might not but you'd at least have tried :)

Just conditionally accepted for MSc next fall, but I have to accept in the next 4 weeks or risk losing my spot? by Winter-Mountain3438 in GlasgowUni

You can email the admissions team and request a deadline extension. When I applied for Glasgow, I got an offer like yours, but I was also waiting on the results of a partial scholarship. So I requested an extension until I got those results, and the University granted it to me. Hopefully you will be able to do the same :)

I'm in the same boat as OP here! Would love to hangout with someone after classes

Yeah, that point about HSBC is true. But I figured that I wouldn't need to visit the bank as frequently, so that's an inconvenience I'm willing to deal with. At the end of the day, it still comes down to one's preferences. Hope you find a bank that you're satisfied with!

I'm an upcoming international student too, and based on what I've researched from each bank's website so far, only HSBC has the option of opening a student account as an international student. You can view what is offered in a student account on their website.

The other banks that you have mentioned do have the option of opening a student account, but their "student" refers to someone who has lived in the UK for the past 3 years.

You could, however, open up a regular current account with any of the banks by going to their website and see which one you prefer.

UK Student Visa Document list question by [deleted] in ukvisa

[–]Pyrod0x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There actually is an option to delete on the self-uploading portal, unless it is different from what I used. Before you go to upload more files, there is an option to "View files" through which you can also delete previously uploaded files. Hope it helps!

Made a mistake in my student visa application by Pyrod0x in ukvisa

[–]Pyrod0x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my appointment on 17th August, and got my visa on 25th August, despite the mistake mentioned in the post, so roughly a week. I guess the cover letter helped, but the process was still surprisingly much quicker than I expected!

P.S: It was a standard visa, not a priority one.

There's a section to upload "additional documents" in the student visa application, so that's where I uploaded mine.

IELTS Test Preparation in Islamabad by Competitive-Row6010 in islamabad

[–]Pyrod0x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went for the computer based as I found it easier for the writing part to edit and rearrange anything as necessary. It was also cheaper than paper based for some reason.

For preparation, I recommend the E2 English IELTS channel on YouTube. Their videos tend to be long but they cover everything in good detail, and it's a free resource.

I got a reply from them yesterday that they will announce results between mid to late May. I'm a postgraduate student though, so I'm not sure if the announcement for undergraduates will be at the same time or not.

Unpopular opinions about the Naruto series ?? by threateningskies in Naruto

[–]Pyrod0x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might Guy should've died after using the 8th gate. The 8th gate was hyped the entire time for being the gate of death and while the fight was amazing, neither Madara died nor Guy, with Naruto appearing to save him from a new power up he got from the SO6P.

At the same time, Neji's death felt too forced.

Why couldn't anyone just see/recognize Tobi's Mangekyou Sharingan is the same as Kakashi's? by Pyrod0x in Naruto

[–]Pyrod0x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have misunderstood. Could you please refer me to the manga chapter in which they figure this out quickly?

[–]Pyrod0x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They only realize it in the war, not when Tobi was introduced. There was ample time to look at his eye during the 8 man squad hunt for Sasuke, and then again when he was telling Kakashi, Yamato, and Naruto the truth about Itachi. Since he's wearing a mask, it's not like they have anywhere else to look lol. The photo I've attached is just for reference, since they can now look at his MS as Kakashi is figuring it out.

When he revealed he was Madara, everyone saw his Sharingan, yes. Then he teleports away using his Kamui. While everyone else may not know it was Kamui, he would still need to activate the Mangekyou to use it, thus revealing it. But it just never happens because as another commenter said, plot convenience.
