Hey man, i would suggest you to go with GCMS route, as you can see from my experience... i applied second time without the notes and strong SOP..still got rejected. get the notes and make your SOP around the reasons mentioned there.Thanks for your replies, possible reasons for my refusal and suggestions on what could be the solution. From your feedback, I can make out that there are two reasons for rejection
1. The VO does not think that the graduate certificate course (which is post graduate qualification - according to hodari) will add some value or add some job prospects back home (according to primaprime).
2. VO thinks you will not complete the course - according to Laguna55. I think it is because of low grades in my graduate degree.
3. As jasmithsingji mentioned multiple reasons - low score, future plan, level of establishment and course - I wonder why course would be the reason since its a global business management program and I am from commerce stream. Also level of establishment I wonder why it would be since I have already paid the fees (without loan) for 1st year and also purchased GIC. Also in my SOP I have mentioned that I would like to come back to my home country after completing my course and join a MNC. And in future start my own business.
So I am in a fix whether to apply for GCMS notes or should I make a stronger SOP? Intake is January 2021, so if I apply for GCMS notes then it will take a month to get the reply and then another 2 months for Visa (as told by my consultant) so I will be late for the intake in applying visa if I go for GCMS notes.
Making a stronger SOP covering all the aspects mentioned above can give me a good chance even though I may not be knowing the reason but I can cover the possible reasons.
What is your suggestion, members? Can some one proof read and give suggestions on the SOP?
All the best
