Shepherd University in West Virginia. Lol if I say you're not a serious student now, all these post hunters will start talking. The poor VOs.

Thank you for your response

I'd like to know why you think I am unserious because I applied to Shepherd University which it's College of Business is among 61 Public Universities and Colleges to be awarded by College of Distinction USA.

With your reasons to your assertion of me being an unserious student, I'd be able to know what to do to better my chances next time which is most important.

The british model is not just 3 years .... after secondary school they go to A level college for an intensive a level program. Have u seen what it takes to get an A to get into a good program in the Uk .... some program accept one year foundation but most program it is 2 years A level ..

So british system is not a 3 years program after secondary school . It really 3 years after A College

Thank you for your response

Duration completing an A-level doesn't count as Duration to complete a degree in the UK. With the required credentials I can firmly tell you it takes 3years to complete a BSc (Hons) in England.

" In England, Wales and Northern Ireland an honors degree is typically completed over a three-year period, though there are a few intensified two-year courses (with less vacation time). Bachelor's degrees (without honors) were typically completed in two years for most of the twentieth century. " -- Wikipedia

England Institutions take 3years to complete a BSc.

Imperial College of London 3yrs BEng Computing
The University of Queensland 3yrs Bachelor of
Information Technology

The List goes on....

Please advise on what can change my status prior to reapplying... Thanks

Hello everyone,
I've been on this platform for awhile and I must say it has been really helpful.
I applied for an MBA program for October this year and my interview is slated middle sept.
I just have a few questions and I don't know if anyone in the house can help.
First of, my uncle here in Nigeria is sponsoring me, and he has an ending balance of 16m. Is any of this going to be an issue? Also I chose IGlobal university in Virginia... does anyone know it?
Secondly, my first degree was in arts, now I want to make a total switch to MBA... is that an issue too?
Last question, my uncle is sponsoring both myself and my brother at the same time... what do you advise guys....

And for the ones looking for people to troll, note that your opinion isn't needed but if you feel the need to show your immaturity, be my guest.

This my last response .... imperial college go and check their requirement to enter... it is your gcse result and A level result . Students in Uk all attend a 2 year college before University .

Yes it might not be listed as the duration but its a mandatory requirement in the Uk to enter after you finish your A level or foundation .... it might not be stated as you have mentioned because its a given

In the Uk you cannot enter directly from secondary school and complete a bsc in 3 years post secondary

The list goes on. Moreso Shepherd University was founded in 1871.. I'd like to know why you think it's not an "Ok" school. Maybe I misconstrue

The year a school was founded doesnt tell all the story neither is it an indication of a good or ok program. .... what you need to check is the quality of the program you want to attend . Although the school is over 100 years it has 265 number of post graduate students. If it was ok or good for masters wont it have more post graduate student ?

Also Shepherd University MBA was accredited in 2015 ... just 2 years ago ... . Your research should lead you on whether its an ok program . The Vo might not think it is ...if i were you since you had 3 delay i would only go back with a more quality program

Hello. I am so sorry to hear about this. I can only imagine your disappointment.

From everything I have read online, getting a visa to attend a community College is not easy at all. Very few people appear to be granted a visa for a community college. I would advise you relax and try and get into a proper university.

Frankly I struggle to understand why anyone would even want to consider a community College. You can save the money you would spend on a CV towards a proper university degree.

Well one reason people go to community college is because it's comparatively affordable. I recently met a fellow doctoral guy who is from the state our school is located and he has been attending community colleges for this same reason I believe. Our school is the first proper university he is attending.

Travel Transcript

Arrived in New York and currently chilling at my sister's place.

I tool Qatar airways, which I will never do again of I can avoid it. It was about 11 hours to Doha, then a 2 hour layover before another 11 hour flight to New York.

I got to New York around 10am. Customs clearance was easy. The officer just asked me where I was going. I told him then he did the whole scan fingerprint palaver and waved me through.

I got outside, ordered for a Super Shuttle. It arrived 30 minutes later. I got in and landed at my sister's place.

Heading to Cambridge tomorrow. I'm dead tired....

Sorry about your bad experience with Qatar Airways. Your journey sounds so long comparing it to mine with Royal Air Maroc. It was 4hrs from Lagos to Casablanca and 7 hrs from Casablanca to NY, totaling 11 hours which equals the time for one leg of your journey. Congrats and please get some rest.

good afternoon good people of this forum, am currently in a mess now, please i need schools that does not necessarily request for official transcript for admission cos my school has internal strike coupled with ASUU, schs that can accept student certified copy of transcrip, pls as a matter of urgency.

For the most part, you do not need official transcript to apply for admission. Students copy or Online copy will do. You send official transcript only to schools that have accepted you. Best of luck!

I'm a beneficiary of the 50% TOEFL bonus. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Walspring and the sponsors for their generosity. I also thank those that have been assisting others on this thread. God bless you all.

Got a mail today but not really happy. It read thus:


Your case is still under review; this type of processing can sometimes involve several different sections and can take several months or longer. The unit completing the administrative processing does not always have full control of the timing involved.

We understand your concerns and will contact you when we are able to proceed. We appreciate your patience as we undergo this process.

Sincerely,

Start working on deferring your admission to spring '18 ASAP. September is already at hand and that's when early application opens for most schools for Fall '18. Have that in mind too. Delayal is not denial!

@u ecoleco, u are too much. I send my admission documents to uiu, they insist on official transcript. that why m asking . no problem.


please at interview if person was asked how many universities e applied to. can persin say 3 , whereas person apply to one. will they know if i lie and say three. ?

thanks

I have deferred to spring 2018 chief.
Thanks for ur encouragement.
Thanks so much cos this kind of delay can put someone easily in the state of oblivion.
Whichever way. It will end in praise.

After a successful interview, the VO excused himself, brought another old looking man with whom they were discussing about my data fron jis screen for almost 8 mins. I was given a white paper ticked administrative processing. Was explained by the VO that they wanna do check. I obliged. 2 days later , got an email of some series of security questions whether I have left this country to LIBERIA, and list my siblings names and if I was trained or took part in one military drill to the other and where I was certain time between 2004-06 ( I competed high school at 04. Then jamb), and should answer with proofs which I obliged and sent. I just weak cos all these data match no concern me at all and as an engineer , working currently as maintenance engineer, I kept asking myself, At least they ought to have the finger print of whoever they are trying to track .....wetin come concern innocent person like me...I am not happy of this kind of delay.

GCE A Level

Isnt the above what i have been saying..... when you finish secondary school that exam is GCE O levels result , after that students go to a 2 years program / college to get and seat for an A level which is an entry requirement

Advanced Level, A-levels come after secondary school GCSEs hence why their degrees are 3 years because students do a 2 years advance college program before the 3yrs

It's more easier to say the truth than to lie. Lying is very stressful. But no, they won't know.

I just had to reply to this.

Only a few graduate courses have more than 20 graduate students, with the majority in the 9-14 graduate student range (the ideal for student learning with a degree of diversity of thought and depth of education–in other words, just enough and not too many!)

Having more PG students will be of what benefit?

MBA program was founded in 2005 under the accreditation of HLC (1850) and recently received specialized accreditation for its business programs from International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) 2015.

Going back with a "more quality program" . Well thank you so much.. I'd research more on other quality Business schools if that was an issue with my Visa Delay

No we not saying the same thing.

If you finish from for example Chrisland College Lagos, you only need 10 months to do your A-Level. 2.5million naira. Pass it and you will be in a UK university doing a 3yr program.

20 graduate student per course and majority 9 to 14 ....

Don't confuse student teacher ratio to overall number of students per year . Ok that enough for me . You obvious dont know what you are talking about

Really Interesting group here, but too long for me to go through from part 1.

i want to start the admission process for A bsc degree.

Please could any one give me a hint on the possibilities.

I finished secondary school 2009 and have been into business but want to further now in the usa. hope is not a barrier. and what is the minimum balance my sponsor should have? are they scholarships? how is the tuition fee? Please forgive me i know that this questions might have been asked before but any body with comprehensive info should help me out. although i will still engage in some research right away

Applied for F1 Visa Undergraduate level 2013 December and 2014 January ( BOTH DENIED)

VO: Good morning, can you pass your Passport?
Me: Yes sure. (passed my passport containing my I-20 and Sevis )
VO: What are you going for?
Me: I am going for my Masters in Business Administration with a concentration in Public Management
VO: Where is this school you applied to? (staring at my I-20 intensely)
Me: Shepherd University is in Shepherdstown West Virginia ( discovered later on my way home that it's Martinsburg WV which is the location of the graduate studies that's written on my I-20)
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
ME: I researched on few schools and once I made my decision I applied to Shepherd University
VO: (Cuts in) How many schools did you apply to?
Me: 1

You applied to just 1 school - a school with over 90% acceptance rate and one that did not ask you for a GMAT/GRE? That really isn't a serious school... that sounds more like a visa mill... simply taking advantage of desperate international "students" looking for a route to immigrate to the US.

The easiest way to assess your educational bonafides is the quality of program you got accepted into and the number of schools that were seeking to admit you. In both cases you flunked badly. It doesn't help that you've been denied 2ce before.
