fraud !

[madnirvana]

Scandinavian agent in sweden of Charles Uni told me that I don't need Biology , i just need to pass the exam and I can fill the application form and apply in the examination hall.
He also said it will cost me 1500 pounds i have to give him if I Pass the exa otherwise i dont pay him anything...

This sounds like a big Fraud to me.. I don't know what to do. I didn't even fill the application form and i dont know if its too late now? Because of him i didnt fill it. He told me firddt that it is seat reservation fees.. And he is a real representative of the university. His contact number was in the official Charles uni website...I don't know what to do please help! :confused:

Under no circumstances pay anything until you have been offered a place, unless it is a relatively small processing fee. The UK agent for Charles has similar fees, but you only pay when you've decided to take up an offer. (apart from the processing fee). Contacting the Uni is probably the best thing to do to see if they are a legit agent. You might have to wait a while for the reply though, and that's if you get one at all.

It seems so strange to me that you can gain a place without even an interview.

Perhaps you should think about ditching the agent as using one isn't even required to get into Charles.

Yes i don't have to give any interview also i didn't even submit any application form to charles!

The agent said that you come give the exam if I pass then i have to pay hm 1500 pounds. If i don't i keep the money... But will i know if i passed on the spot or something?

What if i decide not to pay him if i passed ? :rolleyes:

dont be mad, contact the faculty you would like to go to. fly to prague and sit the exam. i know that 1st and 2nd fac have exams in prague and 3rd fac have an exam in galway in yeats college. 1500!!!!!! dont under any circumstances pay that money. contact the faculty in prague for all the info you need.

Yes, I wouldn't trust that agent because it's strange that they'll exempt you from taking the biology part of the exam. I would second czdoc's suggestion of going straight to Prague and sitting it there...Good luck!

(you can also check the list of authorized representatives on the first faculty website: 1.LF UK (http://www.lf1.cuni.cz))

well i ahve to do the Bio exam aswell but he was saying that i can sit the exam even if i haven't studied biology at school and if i pass by studying at home i can get admission... Is this true?

[czdoc]

you dont have to have done biology in school. all you need to do is pass the exam. its not hard at all. they do not care about anything else.
