@Pinkyz, congrats on ur admission. I also applied to minnesota state university as well.

I don't think it is necessary for you to take TOEFL since you have a waiver letter from the school. But if you have the money you can take TOEFL because there is still time for u.

I'm waiting for my admission decision.

Were u admitted to Minnesota state university, the campus at Makato?

And also were u given scholarship?..

pinkyz: my campus is moorehead and i will be resuming 14th august,...i will be booking my appointment in abuja, i heard its easy getting a visa in abuja than lagos, am just so confuse about this toefl thing,i don know if the visa officer will acknowlegde the toelf letter from the school

mr swagger:



@pinkyz, There is no need stressing urself, wasting money and resources travelling all d way to Abuja to apply for visa when you live in Lagos.

What I will advise is that you apply in lagos first then God forbid if u r rejected visa then u can go to Abuja for the 3rd time u will be applying for visa


Try lagos for the first and second trial of your Visa application. But if things turn out bad, you can go to abuja for the 3rd trial. But I pray you will get your Visa at first trial. Amen.

And also I will like to ask you if you took any Standarlized test like GRE or SAT. If YES, then there is no need to take any TOEFL.

Because as for me I took SAT but didn't take TOEFL. And I will be going the Embassy with just my SAT score report.

But it is always advisable to take atleast a standarlised test before going to Embassy to be on a safer side. And it will prove to the VO that you are a genuine student.

But I'm still worried u weren't given a scholarship. Is the tuition fee affordable for you? If YES, you have nothing to worry about. Cheers bro.

pinkyz: i got scholarship, because once you get admission, you automatically have scholarship,...am based in kaduna thats why i choose abuja which is close to me.i havent taken any standardized test. irrespective of the waiver letter,..i will still write the toefl to be on the safer side,...am wishing we all gud luck

Go to the ets/toefl website and u'll get a list of the centers and dates when u try to register for the exam(edo state inclusive). Hope that helps.

pinkyz: @loverencha thanx broda,..and congrat to you too. please can we talk more privately? i wasnt given scholarship? did you apply for one?...were you given a toefl waiver or u wrote toefl exams

pinkyz: i got scholarship, because once you get admission, you automatically have scholarship,...am based in kaduna thats why i choose abuja which is close to me.i havent taken any standardized test. irrespective of the waiver letter,..i will still write the toefl to be on the safer side,...am wishing we all gud luck

elkharpone: Please oh...what does this "Proposed US Immigration Bill To Eliminate DV-Lottery" mean Kinda confused oh...I saw it on the front page

OjaP:
@ scholarship,

The only thing I know about MSU is that they let you pay instate instead of out of state as an int'l student. Is that the scholarship you are talking about?

Adolite:



In Minnesota How can you got a scholarship without any standard test? I was in the school last week, helping a dude that has good scores on his Toefl and SAT with his admission and scholarship process. Talk to the school and know your stands about the scholarship with no standard test.Moreover, they take High school transcript more serious than Neco and WAEC.

You're full of misconception. May God help you. Best of luck.

Just read that you stay to abuja, ABJ will be good for you because it's close to your house and not because it the best of all as you're misinformed.
