WILL10: Hi bro I need your advice please. I applied to a university in SK in the last spring semester for a Ph.D (full scholarship) after seeking an approval from a Professor that promised to push it through I was denied admission at departmental screening. But when I contacted the Prof. on the development, she felt sad and said she didn't know what went wrong that she had even informed her current student that I would be joining them for spring semester. Last week, the Prof. contacted me that I should reapply for the doctaral program again for the coming summer semester that she will try her best to push it through this time around. But my plan initially is to wait till next spring semester before applying but she is insisting I should try and apply for summer semester. Please I need your advice on this. Thanks |
Re: Thread for South Korea prospective students by WILL10: 4:01pm On Apr 07, 2017 |
Adbash: Hello ADBASH, I must commend your patience and perseverance till now concerning your admission. To start with, the Prof. may have her reasons for asking you to re-apply by summer. I suggest you strictly adhere to her advice and just send-in your applications once more. Usually, Professors with little or no external funding have to depend largely on their institution to fund a student they admit, and this student has to face huge competitions from other prospective students like himself, wishing to come to other departments in that same institution, hence, the often rejections. She may have got a green-light as to her own case regarding admission and that may clearly be the reason she had asked you to send-in once again this summer. Abeg, dust your documents again, re-package am, find money and have it processed ASAP. My humble take on that. I would like to know your major and research focus. I could also help you pull some strings here @KIT if your major is purely IT and /or Electronics Engineering inclined. Cheers. 1 Like |

WILL10:Please, I'm a bit confused, the school I'm applying to demanded for personal statement and a study plan. I have written the personal statement but don't know what is required of me to do in the study plan. Are personal statement and study plan the same thing? If not please can you tell me the difference and if possible share tips on how you wrote yours. Ps: I've tried googling this but what I saw was like a reading and study timetable for students and I don't know if it's the same thing that the school is demanding. Thanks |
Re: Thread for South Korea prospective students by WILL10: 4:13am On Apr 11, 2017 |
saintandsinnerz: Hello saintandsinnerz, They are actually different in meaning, but also perfectly okay to have them both combined and presented in one piece. However, they have to be clearly indicated with clear subtitles. Advisably, the piece should be more than 1-page but should not exceed 4-pages. Whilst personal statements implies all about your identity/heritage, personality, capabilities, societal welfare-ism and Acada/Employment achievements so far, study plan focuses on your preference for the intended program you have applied for, your thesis(for UG and mostly course-based Masters) or research focus(for masters and Ph.D) and ultimate goals on completion of studies. I hope that helps. Cheers. |

Re: Thread for South Korea prospective students by WILL10: 3:09am On Apr 18, 2017 |
FAQ 11 Dear Sir, I salute you once again for your responses. Please very last question. Can I still book for one way ticket although my visa is a d4 or does immigration checks on that too. This is because I plan to stay afterwards for my masters . Your advice please my boss Thank you sir. NOTE: Sender have been in regular convo with me prior to this mail. REPLY Absolutely! You could book a one-way flight ticket provided you have a D2 visa valid for minimum of 2-years! Airport Immigration only starts disturbing people on a D4 visa which is usually valid for less than 1 year. Please note that, D2 visas are Academic/Study/Research visas while D4 are for Training/Language study/short term programs. Do not have it mixed up! Feel free to ask and clarify any doubts bro. Cheers! 1 Like |

FAQ 12 Good day sir.... I authenticated and legalised my docs already at the MOE and MOFA respectively. But later saw that some schools require notarised copies and something apostile...I don't know if I should continue the regular procedure by going to the embassy to gt their stamp and submit to the schools...or should I start from the beginning by notarizing my docs ?.....and also will 4m naira b OK for statement of account ? NOTE: Sender have been in regular touch with me prior to this mail. REPLY Dear ***, I want to believe that all institutions have their own specific requirements for admission purposes. Please do exactly whatever they have asked from you. Do not simply do things on a general-scale assumption! 4Million Naira in your pers/family account should do provided it equals to what the embassy stipulates as the base-minimum! Finally, please narrow-down your admission pursuit to maybe 2 institutions max, so as to give you a major and pivotal focus to meeting up with their respective requirements. You are quite still young and could still afford to try a few more times in the event of any disappointment. Cheers |

FAQ 13 Good day sir, My name's ***, a prospective undergraduate KAIST applicant. I will be taking korean lessons as well as the TOeFL exams to boost my application. i will be applying to study computer science late this year. do you have any advise on how i could further boost my chances of being admitted? REPLY Hello ***, Thanks for writing me. To boost your chances, 1. Consider applying to other institutions too, alternatively. Do not put all your eggs in one basket. 2. Construct a well and highly compelling Statement of Purpose. Start now! don't just think you could do all that just in one night! 3. Make sure your TOEFL/IELTS scores are awesome and impressive. 4. Start packaging and fixing up your documentation requirement ASAP. 5. Stick close to latest developments and info on the Nairaland forum. 6. Be fervent in prayers for a smooth and hitch-free process. Cheers. |

FAQ 14 Dear sir Good evening Dr. ***. I will always be grateful to you and all for nairaland. Please Sir I need some advice about 1. Airlines (I'm thinking about booking Ethiopian airline) 2.foreign currency to carry along (won or dollar) 3.My language programme starts on *** MAY and for that matter will it be advisable to fly over the weekend ie Friday, ** MAY? 4. Do you have to submit any medical tests 5. I have never travelled by plane before how should I approach it in terms of the change in weather and what to expect in Korea in terms of the weather . will it be too cold pls. I'm once again grateful for your time . 6. I have my Bachelor's in *** but would love to undertake further studies in Bioinformatics MSC( that's when I'm done with the language programme) Is it advisable pls? REPLY Hello *** 1. Ethiopian airline looks great but i would suggest you search on-line to see and compare prices before booking. Also note that you would have to book a return flight since you are coming on a visa which is less than 2 years. 2. Korean Won How well, i suggest you come with dollars, but if you could get Korean Won from your end, then that would just be perfect. 3. Flying on a weekend is cool, but be sure to be here on a working day, so you could get university staffs to quickly attend to you, without having you wait till the next working day. I would also suggest that you book a flight that would get you here during the day or mid afternoon(at worst), cos if you reach here by night, you may have to pass the night at a hotel(extra cost), if provisions have not been made prior to your arrival. 4. You would undergo medical tests when you are here, for immigration registration purposes. Not too worry! 5. We are now in Spring, so the climate is a little mild now, no longer too cold. But still come with your jackets, winter coats and whatever that would keep you warm here. Also, arrange your things and documents properly. You may be asked a few questions by the airport immigration just to cross-check what they have of you. So be confident, outspoken, straight to the point, and do not change whatever you have stated in your records. 6. Your future academic aspirations are quite great. Just start looking-out for competitive universities and scholarship opportunities as soon as you are here. Wish you the very best at it. hope to see you here soon *** Cheers. |

jugreency3: In the event that they were not specific, then they usually would require a Govt. teaching/general hospital or a famous private hospital such as St. Nicholas hospital on the island of Lagos. On a lighter note, do not simply go get it from one Mukaila Obi Musa Maternity/general hospital, Nigeria. Lol. Hope it helps. Cheers. |
Re: Thread for South Korea prospective students by Everwilly: 6:17am On Apr 18, 2017 |
Dear Nairalanders, I graduated last year and really keen on travelling to South Korea. My uncle ( a citizen over there) has agreed to stand as my guarantor and send me an invitation. I just want to know the immigration clearing process I must go through on arrival. Secondly, how much will it cost my uncle to bring me over? (with the hope it won't cost him a fortune). Finally, what are the chances of him getting a resident permit for me and of me securing a factory job? Meaningful contributions will be just fine, thanks y'all. OVER |

Greetings to all the big boss in the building WILL10, ACADOLLAR and Co. Please I have few questions to ask I know somehow it has been ask or answer before but please I need better and more clarification (1) can someone gain admission into language study in South Korea with O level or JSS result. (2) please when is the next admission coming up I mean for language study . |
Re: Thread for South Korea prospective students by WILL10: 7:06am On Apr 20, 2017 |
Everwilly: First-off, confirm the visa status of your uncle, F2 - long-term resident(usually 3-year renewable), F-5 - permanent resident(Korean passport holder), or E visa series - legally working in Korea(renewable every year depending). You will enjoy an F1 visa status (Visiting or Joining Family), and you are not legally allowed to work in Korea unless your uncle has a business/coy and employs you in it. The F-1 visa process needs to be started in the home country prior to arriving in Korea. Documents need to be submitted to a Korean embassy/consulate abroad. From then, you will be given a visa issuance number which can be taken to the Korean immigration office in Korea. A proper F-1 visa card (ARC) will be issued at that point in Korea. The validity period of the F-1 visa is between one and three years. It expires in conjunction with your Uncle's visa status you are gonna be with, who has either a legal working visa or F-2. It could last more if he has an F-5 visa. Hope that helps, Cheers. 2 Likes |
