spazio: Hello Nailanders When do you mean in bold? Well, for all levels of tertiary education in the US: Spring semester - Jan/Feb and lasts for the next ~ 4 months Summer semester - May/June and lasts for the next ~ 4 months (many schools only offer research during this time) Fall semester - Aug/Sep and lasts for the next ~ 4 months Mind you the date they say semester starts, classes start powerfully...... nothing like 1 week of resumption doing nothing at school like they do in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

@Babsharon, Could you send me the letter of support to sordicafis@yahoo.com? Others, what does transcript evaluation entail? At what point am I gonna need/do it? I came out with 2.9 GPA and I want to know how it will affect my GPA. I am preparing for fall 2014. |

Can someone pls advise or give me a list of some of the universities that when you have thier admission, yet you will still be refused a visa  ?Thank you |

Feexo: @Babsharon, Could you send me the letter of support to sordicafis@yahoo.com? Others, what does transcript evaluation entail? At what point am I gonna need/do it? I came out with 2.9 GPA and I want to know how it will affect my GPA. I am preparing for fall 2014. Evaluation entails coversion of our GPA standard (5.00 or 7.00) to American standard (4.00). You will need to check with your school if it's a requirement to get your GPA evaluated; if that's your case, you will need to have your transcript sent to WES or other recognised evaluation agencies. The schools I applied didn't ask for the evaluation, so I sent my transcript directly from my school to the US. About your CGPA, it's kinda low and that might inhibit you in making choice of schools. However, google is your friend. Complement the low GPA with good GRE scores, working experiences and certifications in pertinent discipline. All da best. |

Also, be careful about schools that don't require any standardised tests. Recently, according to VI shared in this group, one or two standardised test - GRE/GMAT/TOEFL/IELTS for graduate studies and SAT/TOEFL/IELTS for Undergraduate studies is a MUST I know of some CCs- VIU, Devry etc. Google am.

Feexo: @Babsharon, Could you send me the letter of support to sordicafis@yahoo.com? Others, what does transcript evaluation entail? At what point am I gonna need/do it? I came out with 2.9 GPA and I want to know how it will affect my GPA. I am preparing for fall 2014. It entails the conversion of your transcript from our 5-point scale to the US 4-point scale. Our grades when converted to US 4-point scale has the following grade equivalents, A(4 points), B+(3.5 points), B(3 points), C(2.5 points), C+(2.0 points), and F(0 points). It has no D and E like ours and all your Ds and Es are converted to C and C+ respectively thus adding more points for you to your final CGPA and thus boosting your CGPA. It usually favours many applicants, especially those that had quite a number of Ds and Es in their UG results. This evaluation is usually required during the application stage. There are two ways to it - either the school converts it themselves or you send it to an external evaluation agency(such as WES) to evaluate first and they then will send it to your prospective school. Not all schools require external evaluation and if your school doesn't mention anything about it, don't bother yourself. Just mail it directly to the school and they'll translate it themselves. With your CGPA of 2.90, you're likely to land between 2.90 to 3.00 on the 4-point scale, which is still not bad. Quite a number of US schools usually set 2.7/4.0 as their minimum CGPA requirement. I converted a friend's own recently who had 3.12 and his 4-point equivalent was 3.05/4.0. @You and Other Members Who Might Benefit From This: If you have a copy of your transcripts and want to translate and have an idea of your result on the 4-point scale, use the steps I've outlined below: Our A is their A = 4 points on their scale Our B is their B+ = 3.5 on their scale C = B = 3.0 D = C+ = 2.5 E = C = 2.0 F = F = 0. Now, tear out a sheet of paper, and change all the grade points on your transcripts from our 5-point scale to their 4-point scale, multiply each course's grade unit by the new grade point and keep. Where you had an A in a 3 unit course, instead of multiplying by 5 as usual, you multiply by 4. Where you made a B, instead of multiplying by 4 formerly you multiply by 3.5 now. Do this for each course. Your courses credit units still remain the same. Only the grade points will change here. Then sum all total grade points and divide by the total credit units of all courses from first year to final year. The answer will be your gpa on the 4-point scale. What I just outlined for you is exactly how WES and most US schools convert our transcript to their 4-point equivalent. Below is the conversion scale for Nigeria as obtained from WES's website. 7 Likes

I came out with 2.9 GPA and I want to know how it will affect my GPA. I am preparing for fall 2014. Lisadem is on point but just †̥o add †̥o it. Evaluation can be done in two ways, either by evaluation agent ε.g WES or the school conduct in-house evaluation which means your transcript will be send †̥o them directly. Though your GPA is too low but once you can ace GRE with good score I think it will help. Check Ur mail for the template u requested for. |

creme001: Hello house, pls i would like to find out if we have a database of schools members of Nairaland have passed through. If we do, please i would like to find out if we have anyone in Oregon State university, if we don't, i suggest we create one. It will help us network better. Secondly, could i get GRE Materials from the forum? and finally, i have a friend who finished under grad with a 2.7 CGPA from a private university. Is it possible to get into a university in America to study Networking/ computer engineering with that grade? Lmao! Bro, let your friend take and ace the GRE to make up for the low CGPA. You can check UND and Oakland uni. Goodluck |
