vitus101: Buenos dias amigos..como estas? Por favor (chai fuel don finish)
Pls I am about to apply for Msc in a 'Yankee' uni. Can any of the gurus in da house gimme a break-down of the process of application? From the selection of schools, to the exams to be written, to visa interview.

Abeg make una no refer me to Google oo

Thanks in anticipay

@ the BOLD . Na Google still sure pass for you.

Well, a quick reply while waiting for the gurus to answer you.
The first decision is the choice of school, please check page 5 to see the response I gave to someone. In addition, you want to get aid and blah blah blah...

Usually since you wanna pursue Masters, you will be doing some standardised tests - GRE and TOEFL/IELTS. Ensure you ace those tests and you stand a good chance of getting financial aid.

Next is sending application to your selected schools, Most schools require your standardised test score (sent directly from ETS), BSc Transcript (evaluated (optional)), Statement of purpose SOP, Recommendation letters, RESUME,Bank statement + an online payment fee and the list goes on. Please check with your school to know the requisite documents.

After getting the admission, the sch sends you an I-20 therein you have valuable info such as your course, duration, tuition fees for a year and blah blah blah. You get to pay a mandatory sevis I-901 fees ($200), fill a ds-160 form, make a visa payment of #26,400 at GTB and book an appointment for your interview.

Finally, you go to the embassy and claim your visa Isn't it easy? YEAH IT IS BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BE DETERMINED AND PRAYERFUL.

For more details ask google All the best.

Yea, that's why I said I'm deferring to 2015 (Fall). I've started applying for jobs now towards my 29 months OPT but later will drop it for the PhD (God knows the best). My furthering isn't to instruct but because of my love for Pharmacological research jobs and most of them require a PhD degree, since it's all about making lab your pet

flynbird:

oh but there are lots of contradicting answers to this question oh.. Some people say after the first 2 semesters which is one academic year

sholay2011: Hello. I just saw my Toefl results. Even though I didn't prepare well (less than a week prep due to d disappointment of GRE), I had 98.

Someone said the score is okay to get an admission. I want to further in Agricultural Economics in Masters. Had 307 in GRE.

What advice do experienced ppl in the house have for me?
