Tier 4 visa with two refusals

Hi
I have applied for a tier 4 visa. Unfortunately, my application for a visit to uk was refused in 2007 and later as a family visitor in 2013 due to apparent "not strong enough ties with Pakistan".
I just wish to know if anyone else has been in a similar situation and what could be the bearing of previous refusals on my tier 4 application?
Regards

Have you got your CAS yet or are you just thinking about studying in the UK?

The chances of getting a visa are not technically diminished by your previous refusals as long as there was no deception involved.
You will get a very tough time when you do the genuineness test interview. So be prepared to answer their questions about why you want to study in the UK etc. Why that college, why that course, what your studying currently in your country, where did the funds come from, etc. They will push you very hard but you would expect that given your refusals.

I am not saying it will easy but it is not impossible. You will have better chance if you are going to a University.

I have CAS from sheffield university in a postgraduate dentistry course as I am a dentist.
There was no deception involved in previous applications which was acknowledged by the ECO as well but on "balance of probabilities" the visa was not granted on both occasions.
I have not been called for a second interview and have just been intimated that my passport is ready to collect. The credibility interview held at the time of application submission was not out of the ordinary at all.
Fingers crossed, I suppose.
Thanks for your reply.

Looks like you will be able the lovely wet and cold weather of the UK very soon

I have been granted a tier 4 visa
