I wonder if someone with a temporary visa (while we wait for a perm visa) can score a deal with Edgewood/Upgrad.

they dont require any proof of residence...at least the sales from upgrad vietnam didnt ask me for any
This is correct, and they don't care if you hold a US Passport.
I am just in the process of completing my application. I just learned that if you used a referral code that you receive 50% off the cautionary deposit—I could have saved $500. I only learnt about this because my spouse used my referral code and received the 50% off the deposit. I did not see this anywhere in the forum or any mention of this in upgrad's website.
The steps for signing up is:
- Submit the online application
- Send an email to Edgewood's online admissions team and your enrollment specialist with an SOP, your passport, and masters degree
- Wait to be shortlisted and receive your offer letter and then pay the deposit, or full amount
- Submit additional documentations -- passport, bachelor's degree photo + transcript, masters degree + transcript, and a photo. These documents will be sent to Edgewood for validation
If you're looking into submitting an application and want to save on that deposit, my code is XCRARA.
