its dry because the OP and I are still serving and so did not apply and so wish you guys well and so are busy preparing for next year and so ...

i attended the interview. So far so good, no news from commonwealth commission or scholarship board. I guess they are carrying out the selection process for the nominees. Any other person who attended should contribute.

how was the interview....the sort of questions asked and anythng worth knwing....i applied bt realised i needed nysc cert so i skipped the interview. I'm currently serving.

we did documentation on the specified day, and were grouped into panels from 1 to 8 or so. Each panel representing a different course area namely Engineering, applied sciences, social sciences, education etc. can't remember all.

Those in the social sciences got many questions from current affairs. Stuff like, names of G8 leaders and their respective countries, names of Governors and of the ministers in Nigeria, and questions from african states like Angolan president etc etc.

i was asked what my extracurricular activities are, what I intend to study, what I hope to learn from what I study, what I would be able to achieve with the new skills learnt, was also asked to define power in terms of Current and voltage, and finally I was asked what a Thermistor does in a circuit.

Scoring was partly based on availability of the said credentials, and it was like a group interview. 3 professors, 3 candidates, while you are showing your docs to one, another one is asking you questions, and then, the next continues. So in the end, all three interviewers assessed each of us.

that's TOEFL or IELTS score sheet. I thought this was optional and not compulsory. I read on the commonwealth website that candidates nominated "may be" required to provide evidence of english language proficiency, but not that it was compulsory. My friend who got nominated for this year, didn't do either TOEFL OR IELTS.

It's been a while, I really do wish you guys the best...

i was contacted via call and text message to send the original copy of my transcript. Did anybody get this?

i receive same mail this morning

I received same mail this morning. I'm

.

I received the same mail yesterday. A friend of mine received too.

According to the official timetable on the commonwealth website, the nominations from Nigeria should have been sent by the 17th of December. So I think the nominations have been made.

The last part of the mail suggests that it 'may' be a general mail sent to all of us, but then it may just be to those of us who were not successful.

However, let's keep our fingers crossed.

According to a friend dat won last year, it's all over if u were never contacted to send ur original transcript b4 d receipt of unsuccessful email. Those earlier contacted by fsb were dose nominated and dey too must av received d unsuccessful email. That is why d email reads dey sud disregard it.

Dose of us not nominated, let's 4get dis and hope for d best elswhere. All d best to dose nominated and I wish dem success in d next stage which is actual selection.

Best of luck to us all!
