Hi, how much scholarship/financial aid were you given? I also got admitted to a uni in Ohio, but didn't go 'cos it's 100% scholarship on books, but 20% scholarship on tuition.


I got none oh. Thats even why I posted this. which school is yours? 20% should cover first semester tuition at least

Guys i just came across this on NL in past post....Please how true is it
I know for sure that all schools upload all the documents you used in securing your admission(Test Score reports, Statement of Account, SOP, Recommendation Letters e.t.c) to the SEVIS database and the VO looks them up.

Please who has had cause to change the statement of acct he use for admission and to another he use for Visa Interview

Hello folks. please I'm considering applying for Graduate assistant (with full tuition waiver and stipends) for US schools but I saw proof of funds...despite seeking for fully funded assistantship...what does that mean?

All schools? where did you get that infomation from? I dont even know of any school that does that and yes you can use different SOA provided that it matches what is stated on your i20. e.g like if its stated that 'family fund' you can use any of your family members but i have heard of schools that specifically state the name of the exact family member, if that is the case, i don't it will be wise to change it

Hello folks! please how do u guys choose schools which are far from major cities? for e.g schools in kansas, missouri, Kentucky, Connecticut are far from New York, Washington, Atlanta, Houston in which there is direct flight from Nigeria? do u join domestic flight or bus to ur destination on arrival in US?
Just book another flight from anywhere you stop or boo a greyhound or gotobus. I once used greyhound from newyork to Charlotte. Its not bad

Please, wen d plane land! Will I work into the arrival Hall or wat?
And how to locate the boarding gate u are talking abt?

You don't have to worry this much..Just have your complete itinerary printed out and ask questions from flight attendants, or even people at the airport. Don't be afraid to, and don't always assume everybody is going your way. The key here is ask questions ...since it seems it's your first time out

Tuition is paid per session nah, and not per semester. So how much do you need to pay on tuition now that you have no scholarship? My sch is UD, and I needed to pay about 30,000 dollars per session even after the 20% scholarship.

Most tuition is actually calculated per year but paid per semester ......... In my first year i paid the whole year which i thought was the process only for Student Acc depart to chase me up and down to come collect as they do per semester . I was like NO ooooo . i no wan chop the money but they wrote me a cheque anyway that i must pay per semester .

Different school different policy but a lot pay per semester

3.85 on a scale of what? You'll get a full ride for your first year at Berea College, and a full tuition subsequently.



However, try out New York University, Abu Dhabi. You'll get a full scholarship on tuition, accomodation, feeding, books, flight expenses to visit at least one country in each continent, stipend, flight expenses to and from your country twice a year. No kidding, but highly competitive!

On your boarding paper /pass d airline gives when u check in would be the boarding gate no And boarding time or in some cases d no wont be out ontime so u would be told to look at the board to get your boarding gate ....i am.talking of your connecting flight. So your boarding gate is the area of an airport where passenger for that particular flight would wait and also enter the plane from.... most airports are big so u need to know where in d airport they will lead u into the plane . That called a boarding gate and be there on time as well because after some time boarding closes

Regarding into arrival hall i dont know if u mean in relation to your connecting flight or your final direction. however its easy , u see what others are doing just observe and follow. .....even if u are doing it wrong someone will correct u... JJC is ok too no problem. .... alsoask any airport staff for clarification. They are usually helpful



Ok... Thanks

Good day all, i appreciate ur efforts in ensuring success for everyone here. God will reward u all.

Pls i want to know if VOs normally check for one's information online during interview. For example, d VO searches google to get details on LinkedIn, company's website, etc just to confirm if d answers given by d candidates are true. Can dis really happen?

Reason why i want to know is because, i already hav an M.Sc here in 9ja and I'm going for another M.Sc in d US and i never mentioned dis in my application and all that. But it can be seen on my organization's website n some other professional sites.

Advice pls. Thanks

I usually pefer honesty and consistency which reduces your worry...

however back to the topic. , interview is less than 5 mins or 2 mins self so which time will Vo have to be googling such . also loads of people have same name so even if your name it is possible someone else is bearing d same name. it happens in Nigeria even in the USA...... i had two classmates with same first name , middle name and surname. .. it almost impossible but i actually did have two classmates like that .
