Thanks a lot, bro. I'll check it out.

Edited: I just found out the exam isn't held in Nigeria — The closest place one can take the ACT test is in Ghana.

Does anyone know where I can download ACT study materials?

Yeah, bro. ACT is particularly known to have a fairer scoring scheme than the SAT — I want to score the best possible score. I'm applying for a full ride.

Just sent you a PM, let's brainstorm!

Oh ok.
It is.

The recommendation thing though. Im doing 7 schools. Now tell me about that stress.

One thing is this and I've told myself over and over.
I don't care if the lecturer can't press a keyboard.


Im getting my recommendation.
Simple and short.

Get like 5 lecturers and disperse it among them
They hardly say no to these things.
So if you have like 5 you can just share if among them so they don't feel like you're disturbing them or something.

Just to give my two cents...you can apply to as many schools as you like and get the number of LORs u want. It depends on how you go about it. It is important to note that inasmuch as it's desirable to get LORs from top professors, these folks are not readily accessible especially in our schools. So it's wise to choose ur cohort of referees bearing in mind who will turn in the letter in time to meet the deadline and who would say great things about you and then their designation. Sit down and make a list of potential referees and see who would do the job best. From experience I know Nigerians whom you ask for LORs especially the academic folk can virtually stall ur application. If ur program accepts professional and academic LORs then take advantage. The professional folk will most likely turn up promptly. In all the personality of the referee and ur previous relationship with them matters. Permit me to say that I had a huge issue getting references for just four schools for fall 2013 admission and ended up not getting admitted because the LORs came in later than the deadline amongst other problems. This yr I applied to ten schools and I didn't not sweat at all to get the rec letters. Start early to talk to potential referees and keep reminding them. Be proactive. Some may ask u to write what u want and send to them to sign and turn in for u. It all depends. My two cents...

Ashigolo: it depends on the school but most schools accept online recommendation. They automatically send a 'request for recomendation' email to your referee once u fill in his/her details in your application. I could remember during my application, 2 of my recomenders (drs) would ask me to bring my system with my modem to their offices (claimed they were busy) so they could just send the letter (I would even composed and filled myself while they jst vet) and a prof even trusted me with his email and password that I logged in into his account to send a recomendation whenever I needed one..lol. It all depends on your relationship with them.

Exactly!!! I had the log in details of about two of my referees and with their permission I could respond to the requests for LORs once I got them. It's indeed abt your relationship with the referee in time past

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part5 by azeezbaba(m): 4:01pm On Aug 01, 2014
Hi gurus in the house,

I have a valid b1/b2 visa (Including my wife and 1 year old son) and I have been to the US once. Now I intend to go there for my MSC (Spring 2015). I have my admission letter but awaiting my I-20. My questions are:

1. Should I apply for the F1 visa with my family or I should go 1st then my wife and son go at a later date? (The reason I asked this question is that, wont the VO be suspicious that we are immigrating?)

2. God forbid that the F1 is refused, will my b1/b2 still be valid?

3. What are the likely questions considering the fact that I traveled to the US in April 2014 with my family?

4. I didnt take the GRE test before I was given my admission. Is that a problem?

Thank you

May He show us Mercy as he show David in Ps51.
May He lead us from every denying VO.
May He protect us from our enemies and bad wishes with the prayers of ps 91.
May He cover the Embassy with the Blood of His son Jesus..
May He give us testimonies now and forever more, AmEN, AMEN, AMEN..
Happy new month and goodluck..
