<p>Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland AND the rest of the SADC member states, even though some are not really in the south!</p>

<p>Hi everyone, lets introduce ourselves and stop lurking. There's always a lack of Southern Africans on the forum but when I look at the college pages, I see Zimbabwean names. Please come out and introduce yourself, where you are from and let us know if you get accepted. Come out and let's help each other.</p>

<p>I'm from Zimbabwe and live in Zim. Applying to about 20 - 25 schools - still in the process of submitting the rest.
Keeping my fingers crossed!</p>

<p>Does anyone have info on UCT admissions standards for international students? I read the PDF for the basic requirements, but was wondering what it was like for those that were admitted.</p>

<p>I’m a student from the US looking for direct enrollment to an engineering major.</p>

<p>To be honest I’m not sure. If an accepted local student’s stats are anything to go by my NBT was AL 81%, QL 80%, MATH 91% and I had 6 As in high school. So I’m thinking you’d need at least 4 As and above 80% in each section of the NBT and, as far as I know, you’d be in (assuming you don’t need financial aid).</p>
