Good morning,

I hope that you are spending a wonderful day!
Well, I am Ahmed graduated from the university of Algiers in ALgeria, in International relations, the year of 2004
I am trying to join a university of Lapland in Finland, and I think that here I have just a problem; and any one who has had courses in Finland or is actuelly studying in anuniversity in finland can give me a solution,
I took the TOEFL in Nov 2004, and I got 527, instead of 550 required in this university! and I am afraid that I won't be accepted just because of this score, even if I have good marks in my previous studies ( BA)
For your information; After my graduation, I started teaching English for secondary school students. For the first time I felt the most gratifying and heartwarming feeling I have ever felt in my life. I felt that I am actually making a difference and positively affecting many lives
Now, I am really in trouble, and I don't know what to do, so I need some help just to know what to do face to a such situation? should I send my application regardless my scores, or what?! please what do you think I should do?!
I have chosen this forum, because I think that this is the right place where I can find an answer; I look forward to hearing from you,
thank you in advance;
faithfully yours, Ahmed
