Anyone to help pls........

1. Forget January 2015. Target Fall 2015, sir. With that, you will have time to apply and not a fire brigade approach type of application.

2. Evaluating one's transcripts is quite straightforward:

a. Create an account on WES.
b. Pay the service fee depending on one you want.
c. Print the transcript request form from your WES' account and take it to your school to...
d. ...arrange for your transcripts and Certificate from your school.
e. Your school will send the transcripts, you send the photocopy of your certificate ( don't send your original certificate o).
f. WES will acknowledge receipt of the documents after which they will send a mail/fax/email back to your school for verification.
g. After the verification from your school, WES will notify you that your evaluation should be ready in few days time.
h. WES sends evaluated transcripts to your desired address.

3. Based on you evaluated CGPA, you can then start searching for schools, get sharp letters of recommendation, statement of purpose, thick GRE and/or TOEFL scores, then apply.

I hope this helps, sir.

You can pay it online... Just try your luck

My man, I don't like to try my luck as certainty is the key here. I will take time out to visit GTB anyways. Thank you.

decreamaster:
so dis mean I can't use my int passport instead.shit
But can I go by bus?

You sure can go flying, all the need is an ID and your international passport would suffice as an I.D it would only be needed when your about to fly and the clearing off of your bag to the plane.
Yeah sure, the bus would use your international passport as an I.D also.

Thanks very much @godG. Pls is it possible for me to meet up with the summer session and again what's the cost of evaluating my transcript. Lastly will my GPA be upgraded. Tnks

Ko t'ope, sir.

Summer? I don't get that. Basically with admissions, Spring=January. Fall=August/Sept. I think most schools are on vacation during summer. Sir, you need not rush. Usually, people find it great applying towards fall.

Cost. It depends. In my own case, I spent around 60k. I think the ICAP service (which you should go for) is $185 or so. You don't need to indicate any recipient of your evaluated transcripts now since you really need your evaluated CGPA to determine your choice of school. Just arrange for ICAP and after evaluation, you use $50 to request for evaluated transcripts to be mailed to your desired school with $7 for standard delivery.

Well, it depends on your actual undergraduate CGPA but traditionally, on a 4-point scale, Nigerians fare well when evaluated. In your case, pray it's either it is a bit raised or equal to what you have.

Any MSc student going to NC A,&T state uni for spring 2015 here?

GOD BLESS AMERICA

The country that i love and keep close to my heart, a country that your dreams can come true if you are hardworking, a country where you can attend any college or university without a penny in your pocket throught loans and scholarships.


Whao, its amazing this thread is still alive!!!!!, i joined this thread in August 2010 because i was interested in coming to the U.S for graduate studies and potentially become a citizen of this great country...this thread is part of my success story today, the likes of OJAP, SEEDORD, FEMILANGY, FEMI2020 are part of my success story, my strategy was watch, listen and dissect information from this thread and mold it to my benefit, and that worked for me when i went to the embassy for my student visa interview...( check dec 14 2010 for my interview details on the thread).

With that been said, my journey in America has been a success story with a lot of hardwork, optimism, and dynamism. To cut the long story short, i have two masters now and work as an Information Analyst with one of the biggest banks in the world, i never came here with any large money, i was just optimistic, hopeful, looked unto God . Yea, America is not easy like people say (FOR LAZY PEOPLE), but if you are ready to study hard, beleive you me, you will be ok and not lack.

The purpose of my long epistle is to encourgae you guys....(the ones that are really ready to come study and become someone in life), do not let anybody discourage you, follow your heart and passion, i am a living testimony, i landed at JFK with 70 dollars in my pocket in dec 2010 but as of today i make almost six figures/annum working as a SQL DEVELOPER, i never knew anything about I.T while in Nigeria, but because i was determined to be a change agent for my generation, i strived hard, focused on my masters and through the Grace of God, i dont lack anything because am highly contempted with what i have.

P.S

THIS IS A GREAT THREAD, IT CHANGED MY LIFE AND SOME FRIENDS' LIVES, DO NOT COME TO THE THREAD WITH THE "I KNOW ALL MENTALITY" RATHER, COME HERE TO ASSIMILATE INFORMATION. THANK YOU ALL AND BEST OF LUCK.

2.0 version of the fun is still happening 2day after Chelsea - Arsenal's match.

decreamaster:

Seriously border mi,I still dey think am o.

Hope you've started seeing what we called cold now and not the 25 degree you were talking about. Since yesterday's rain, temperature drops to 10 degree Celsius and so it will continue fluctuating between very low negative and low positive until next year summer (May/June).

Soon no one would be able to go out without heavily padded jacket, gloves and head warmer. So, where do you want to write to about this?

Separate envelope. As in one for your transcripts, the other for ur certificate. Do not write anything on the envelope that contains your transcript. It should be as if your school is the one sending to WES.

Sir, why can't they give you a graduate I20 that states the fact that you are auditing some courses on arrival?
The VOs won't see it like that. It is like a bad PR to your intellect. Talk to your advisor.

Please, let them know the (negative) effect of that on your visa application. Tell them. If they want you, they should bend!
