LOL. I already forgotten that. There are also assistant undertakers. Those who cry during funeral which a lot of people don't really know about. They are paid as well.

Few months ago..lol..Don't worry, you case is not even close to a table. But since your mum is a permanent resident (guessing based on what you wrote), you would have to show really good home ties. You have a good job? Good grades? Applying to schools in the same state alone is a flag as well

Thanks man will start looking for schools in others state..I don't mind if you can help me with schools in other states that offer Msc computer science...thanks once again

Thank you Oluphy. I really appreciate.

You can apply with that waec result. You will only need to convincingly tell the VO what you have been doing since 5 years.

So happy to be part of this forum. Very informative..... Can someone give a comment about commonapp.org coz I intend using them my schools selection

slimmy2005:
are we talking about the need for evaluations or the means? In as much as your grades are not from US or Canada, you sure need an evaluation. But most schools do evaluate themselves with no fee attached. Well, it's clear when you can equate the level of education with the response.

You are still a high school graduate, so I'm not surprised at your response. You will understand better when you land here, that is if Trumps VO are meeciful enough to act right

When I applied to University of Michigan,they asked for confirmation of results from Waec directly,I guess evaluations was done in house .

2.97/5.00 will nearly hit 3.0/4.0. Most likely around 2.99/4.00. Because the 4 point and 5 point scales converge at exactly 3.0 over both scales. That is, someone with 3.0/5.0 will also have 3.0/4.0. Yours is 2.97/5.00, that is most likely to be anywhere between 2.98 to 3.0 over 4 points. But you'll be most sure if you convert it yourself.

Yes oh I contacted one back in February to assist with WES payment, he told me 500/$, I was like is that your last price, He never responded back to me, it was strange though. I later got a friend I didn't want to involve with to do it for me at 475.

Good evening nairalanders, I nid help.
I was given admission by Southern Illinois University Edwardsville to study Environmental Science in spring 2018. GRE and TOEFL were waived for me. They are yet to approve my funding. Speaking with the director of the program, he told me a GRE score of >300 or a GPA of above 3.75 on a scale of 4 will b suitable to get d assistantship. What is d equivalent of my 4.02/5 GPA on 4 scale. Will nt having GRE reduce my chances of getting a visa? Can I prepare and write GRE in 3months n get a score higher than 300? Or there r other funding opportunities in the USA that don't require GRE scores?
@Lagosismyhome and odas. Pls I need your inputs.
God bless

475? I tot rate is falling.
Black market rate today is 400/$

Some of these questions only you can answer this ...at the bold you best know your strength. Go online and look at materials and then u determine if 3 months is enough. There is a separate thread for GRE. You can join that .

I am not sure what 4.02 will result to but check online WES calculation and if it is not then yes having a high GRE might increase your chances of funding

WES will evaluate only WAEC from Nigeria

Please i sent you a mail.

Common application is as good as applying directly to the schools that use it. If I'm to pick, I would go with common app for its simplicity.

I would really advise you to write the GRE, not only for because of this school but it can open other opportunities for you for spring and even fall, 2018 admission. You will also need it if you want to proceed for PhD.

Yes 3 months is enough to prepare and get a good score. Check out the thread https://www.nairaland.com/1832477/how-achieve-high-scores-gre and this study guide https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ii97JplpxMTVhRZGplOEhPaVE/view?usp=sharing
Your GPA falls within 3.4 to 3.5on a 4 scale, you can't change that but you can ace the GRE to make yourself competitive.

4.02/5.0 will be around 3.45/4.00 after conversion, using WES conversion standards. Normally, admission from top US schools (like Harvard, Yale, UMD, etc.) are almost 100% sure tickets to getting your visa at the embassy, even without GRE. However, with average schools like the one you got admission from, you need to write the GRE to boost your chances of getting the visa, not just getting the visa but getting it once at first attempt. 3 months is just enough time to take the GRE and score at least 310 to 315. The more time spent studying for the GRE the higher your score. GRE, though SS3 level math and english, has its own tricks and you need time to study for it and understand its tricks. Also, your GRE score could help you get funding before or after you arrive the US, you never might know. So study hard for it, take it and do your best. Nothing comes easy in life.

There are other types of GA such as administrative GA (non-academic type) and for such ones you do not need GRE to get them, just related work experience and maybe the right network. If you do not get a GA before arriving, some people do get GAs after arriving in the US just before school starts but they often have to come in early to run around campus for the GA search.
