Hello house,

I noticed there is no place to indicate that a parent is deceased on the DS160 form. Is it ideal to talk about my late dad during the interview if a question warrants it(even though I rightly filled in his date of birth in the form)? Hope it won't weaken my presentation in anyway...Pls I need proper guidance on this from a kind soul. Thanks

LagosismyHome:


I responded back to pm

You got my pm too right

RoadAnimations:


Depends on the department.
For Electrical Engineering.
TOEFL must be 88 and above.
GRE ( quantitative ) must be 155
To get TA or RA is very competitive.

I had 317 in GRE ( 160 Quantitative )
TOEFL was 97
Undergraduate was 3.82
Write your SOP yourself and ensure it reflects who you really are and your career goals.
Wish you all the best.

Please which school is this?

Are there schools that don't ask for this?
Please I need your advice so I can start my application processing.
Thank you very much.

Hi Everyone, I’ve gotten my admission pack and I don’t know how to get my ds160 form please can anyone put me thorough abeg??

Hello great citizens of nairaland. I was suppose to go for NYSC in April, but due to NASU Strike UNIBEN missed out, with a promise to go in July. Fast forward to this month, we got to know there would be no new registration in July and it will be til November. Now I wanted to take the next step by immediately applying for admissions abroad instead of waiting for November to come for NYSC. I want to know if I will be able to make September admission and the requirements i will need.

Greatest Uniben student, are you coming for masters if so you need to take the GRE and choose schools u intend to apply.

Anybody please. Mr Walspring..

My new passport is being processed cos I've paid and done Biometric. I want to book an appointment date since its taking longer than I expected. Can I use my Old passport Number to Book an appointment while I wait for the new one ? Or I wait till new one comes out ?

Good day Nairaland,
I was offered admission into MA Economics program at Wichita state university. My appointment has been scheduled for 28th of May for 7. A. M.
Here is my proposed transcript. I want corrections and additions from you guys.

Vo: Good morning
Me: Good morning. How was your night?
Vo: Pass me your i20 and passport
Me: Passes
Vo: Where are you going to in the US?
Me: Wichita State University 1845, Fairmount, Wichita, KS 67260.
Vo: why are you going to Wichita state university?
Me: for my master degree in Economics
Vo: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: 3, namely, Wichita state university, Murray state University and Western Illinois University.
Vo: So why WSU?
Me: Apart from the fact that the state where the school is located is economically conducive and my mentor being an alumni of the school, the school offers excellent education to it students through high quality teaching and a well structured research activities. WSU MA Economics gives room for flexibility because they offer three different tracks which are Financial Economics, Economics analysis and international Economics. All the three tracks seek to provide students with analytical skills useful in decision making and a broader understanding of the overall economic environment. The financial track is my main area of interest because I have found a career in the financial sector. The school curriculum is compatible with my academic background and career interest. The program has good professors and also give a lot of time for business projects that mirror real work environment conditions. This is called Analysis of business condition and forecasting (Econ 803) in the department curriculum. This particular course is rare in other schools curriculum.
Lastly, I contacted Dr Philip Persh prior to applying, I told him about my research plans towards the proposed program and he was impressed by the research plans. We will be working on a thesis with the topic Nexus between Inflation and unemployment from (1990 - 2017)using Nigeria and United state as a case study .
Vo: What are your core courses?
Me: Math. Method in Economics Econ 701. Applied Econometrics Econ 731. Macro & Micro Analysis Econ 801 & 802. Analysis of Business forecasting Econ 803. Applied Econometrics II Econ 831.

Vo: What will the course do for you?
Me: I already work in the financial sector, masters will make me more competitive for promotion to higher position and accord me the opportunity to edge closer to the highest cadre in the financial sector by working directly with the Apex Bank of Nigeria where I can be able to advice Nigerian Government and non governmental parastatal on the best Economic practices and suitable policy. This is my long term dream.
Vo: who is sponsoring you?
Me: my dad and my aunty
Vo: what does your dad and your aunty do?
Me: my dad is a mechanical engineer who works with Federal Government and also own a private workshop. My aunt is chief account at ABC company.

This is the little work I have done with guide from Nairaland. I need you guys to give comments. Thank you all as I await your contributions

Hi everyone,
Just a quick question. Please I could not find program level or educational level on the ds160 when I was filling it. They only asked for course of study and I wrote my course:" Educational Management". is that OK? I have submitted and booked a date though.

Thank you very much.

I have seen this post repeatedly here. The information you seek is one you can easily get on this thread if you take your time to read through. This explains why nobody is responding to your post....

With your cgpa, you can still get admission in US schools, but I really don’t understand why you want schools that don’t ask for GRE and TOEFL. Depending on the area you are considering your masters program on, taking these tests will boost your chances of getting the admission and visa too. So I’d suggest you search online to check schools that can accept your range of cgpa, then take those test to increase your chances.

Meanwhile, if you can take your time to read through this thread, you would get a plethora of info that will help you throughout your application process. You can do everything yourself! All the best
