I am not sure whether the three sentences make sense in term of grammar and semantics. 
Can you give me a hand with checking them
Thank you for your help.

 

1. He is really in a predicament at which he has no school to attend this fall.

 

2. His consultant advised him to enter a short-term language school this summer in which to brush up on his English’s ability first and not to apply for the schools until he gets a decent score on TEFOL test.

 

3. He gets a difficult decision to make because he is not confident in whether he can pass the test and will be accepted into a well-known by taking his consultant’s advice.

1. He is really in a predicament at which he has no school to attend this fall.  .....as/because he has no school to attend this fall.

 

2. His consultant advised him to enter a short-term language school this summer in which to brush up on his English’s ability first and not to apply for the schools until he gets a decent score on TEFOL test.  ........where he can.......

 

3. He gets  [has]  a difficult decision to make because he is not confident in whether  [that]  he can pass the test and will be accepted into a well-known [school] by taking his consultant’s advice.  This part doesn't seem to me to be relevant to the rest of the sentence.  You might add another sentence: "he doesn't know if he should take his consultan'ts advice".

I hope my suggestions are clear.
