Wow, congrats! This is a very good story. I'll be sure to recommend the university to my pals in similar situation. One more question please: Did you have relevant work experience or professional certifications relating to your programme? Or what, in your opinion, do you think made your application successful?

@Arise O compatriot....nice testimony ...All dis funding Pple re chopping,so sad my school wasn't offering funding for my course.and I really wanted Saskatchewan province.infact I applied to only U of S and jst prayed to God

It's pretty much demand. Carleton is a big popular school in Ontario, they get lots of applications. Centennial, in terms of college is also very popular and is in Toronto. Victoria doesn't share those same traits. Smart of you to pivot and look for something that worked. If you applied to UBC, they probably would have turned you down too.

Well, as far as I am concerned, Carleton and Centennial can stick their popularity up their rectal cavities The salary one can earn with an MBA from UVic is much more than what is earnable with all the degrees in Centennial put together (pun intended) Not to talk of the 3 years PGWP that's obtainable after the MBA compared to just 1 year PGWP that would have been obtainable if any of those "Popular" schools had given me admission. Feel free to attribute it to the demand factor, I attribute it to the God factor anytime anyday!

Bros dis ur UCalgary dey smehow o ... I had 4.10 CGPA n 4.54 in my last 2years, 7.50 IELTS, 1 year work experience, 3 recommendations i.e from a professor, a Ph.D holder and my supervisor at work (Telecoms) and I was denied admission (M.Sc ECE Fall 2015) cos I couldn't get a potential supervisor even though dey promised to pass my file round the professors.

N:B- 1. Getting a potential supervisor wasn't mandatory but if u don't get pls don't apply

2. Don't think about UAlberta as well

U can try your luck anyways cos your SOP might be way stronger and compelling than mine. I would advise you try Uregina though.

Allah's grace is the ultimate !!!

Good day all, i am very new to this forum just heard about it yesterday when i went for my medicals at IOM Ikeja.
i'm having a bit of a challenge and i was hoping someone could help me out. So here it goes, i got a mail to go for my medicals on the 13th of this month and dint do it until yesterday and it requires 14 days for the result to get to CIC, so i'm just wondering if all is going to play out well. Thanks.

LOVINA1245:



she's not discouraging, she's simply advising. doing med does not guarantee trv. If you can bear the risk, all well and good.

AriseOCompatrot:


Yes I do, some MBAs will waive work experience though. The average work experience for most MBAs is 2-3 years. If your cousin does not have work experience don't let that dissuade him/her. The person just has to spend a lot of time doing a detailed enough search for which universities have requirements that play to the person's strengths. The saying goes "if you have 24 hours to cut a tree, spend 23 hours sharpening the cutlass and just 1 hour cutting the tree". If your cousin needs some help in searching for the right school, I can volunteer some of my time for that.

Work Experience: Frankly everyone who has graduated from university and done NYSC can claim work experience. This is quite an extreme example but...even selling gala on the street is work experience, you just have to know how to package the description.

Professional Certification: I have a certification in project management. I honestly do not know if this had any influence in the admission decision. Project management doesn't teach any form of Finance or Accounts or Economics, which are all crucial for Business Administration degrees. I sha included the certification.

Successful Application: Sincerely, i'm not the "spiritual" or "spooky" type but I'd be foolish not to acknowledge the favour of God being the final influencer in my application. But then again, favour is when opportunity meets preparation. I really, really, really prepared for the application to that university. The two most important factors in any admission decision are the References and the SOPs. And since everybody is likely to ask for reference only from people who will give them positive reviews, that swings the needle of importance more towards SOP. I spent about one week writing the two essays for that application

Well done gurus in the house...
