That's called luck. What you'll always ask for.

GboyegaD:

Both friends and families can fail and that is why I believe for whoever fails, God did not deem the person fit as an instrument to help and sometimes too, I feel we truly cannot tell why that happened as such, shouldn't blame them.

iamchux:

I think that's where the problem lies. Some of this nipost staffs delay or hold-on to this parcels when they don't get the destination right. But I guess if it was a P.O. Box addy, that very day it arrived, it would be place in your box.
You will preferable use home addy for DHL or FedEx and not for regular mail. I might be wrong though!

obsy2020: @ oyetpel, I never applied to VIU neither was I denied. I got the visa on my first attempt. Besides I'm going for my MSC not BSC.

Graham123: Please, I'll like to know if I can get a post graduate program admission in any college in the US with a third class honors degree equivalent of below 2.5CGPA (precisely 2.32 in my case, pathetic I know). My degree program was in Zoology (OAU). I'd like to know my chances, if any.

yomifowe: Talking about family. My sis in Texas helped me to collect my I-20 from my school and sent it to me through NIPOST. As at today, more than a week after my interview, i am yet to get it, very funny indeed.

omonaijar: Hello all and congrats to all the others who also recently got their visas.

Sorry if this is slightly off-topic, but what is the max amount of USD you can take through MMA without having to declare? Thanks.

Ricky Rozay:


You will need to visit the nearest post office close to ur home and ask if ur i-20 package has been delivered because NIPOST receive this document from the US at an early date here in Nigeria but dey will use like 2 to 3 weeks to dispatch it to various homes....

So get moving now.... If it has reached 2 or 3 weeks since your sister sent your package from US to you through Nipost, then I suggest you will have to head to their office near your home to check if has been received..

It should be there... Cheers..

FutureDon:

In addition to Profs Ojap & GboyegaD's words. I would advise that you engage in a serious ''moment of truth'' and make up your mind on what you really want to do, since you mentioned that you intend changing from Zoology to any other science-oriented course.

You also mentioned that you are preparing for GRE and would like to make a switch to Nursing, I don't see any correlation here. I would like to think that you are not looking at MSc Nursing programs (pardon me). If you really want to switch to Nursing, I think the better way to go about it is through undergraduate route. However, in my honest opinion, it is difficult to get into a DECENT MS program with your GPA but not impossible. GPA is just one component of admission requirement.

A lady on this forum (many pages back) highlighted how someone with a 3rd class took some undergraduate courses (to make up for his deficient GPA) before proceeding to MS at the same Uni in America. You can also look into this route; however you will have to contact each university of choice to ask if possibility abounds for such 'route' at that particular institution.

My 4 naira sir.

michole21: please i'm trying to fill my ds-160 but its telling me a person already has those information. i remember filling one last year but i forgot the password but this is a new one

yomifowe:

Thanks. However, i did just that but it was not there. I even had to give them my no so that they ll notify me once it arrives , up till tomorrow, i ve not received any call.

Ricky Rozay:
I have a feeling that your situation might be like that of my sister's own.. Because she waited for her package for a long time, she didn't get it and kept going to Nipost office and even dropped her number but the same story.. She didn't hear from them just like you too.

First, when is your interview and when exactly did your sister send the package from US to you here?

Also, I hope you went to the correct post office..

And also i hope your sister filled in your house address correctly, because if she didn't fill it correctly, Nipost usually send all UNKNOWN packages with UNIDENTIFIELD contact address of it's owners to their head office at Marina Lagos, that's something I know about..... It happened to my sister's package.

My sister went to Nipost office uncountable times and they told her it is not in their office, until my sister got an information from a guy at the post office there who then advised her to go to their Head office at Marina Lagos, that the package will be there. All to her greatest surprise, she went to their head office in Marina and found the package there.

They will just abandon it in their Head office till the owner comes looking for it... Some people even forget their package there with them because they have no idea of the location of the package just like you now..Nipost officials will even be praying that the owners of some valuable items from abroad that will be useful to them don't coming looking for it so that they will turn the property to their own.

I just hope this shouldn't be your case..

So dts why I need to get certain information from you to enable me tell you the nxt thing to do...

I hope this information I have given will be useful for others who might be in this same similiar situation with yours...

GTBank Token Device is a small digital device (used for generating codes) that allows you register your GTB atm mastercard with an activation code. Reason because, some internet Merchants request additional codes when making payment via your atm card. But most of my school online apps didn't request for this code, but www.ets.org/gre and www.ebay.com requested for this code!

imperiouxx: @Amefrica,

yomifowe:

Congrats.

yomifowe:

Thanks for your concern,
I have gone for my interview, fortunately, I was sent a soft copy of the I-20, admission letter ansd other docs which i printed out. I then went ahead to print the other docs which my sis scanned and emailed to me, got another a/c statement a day b4 the D-Day. I exercised my faith went for the interview and i was not questioned about them @the embassy.

imperiouxx:

Saw this late. First of all, you id reminds me of my sec. sch chem about Graham's Law of diffusion and effusion which states that the rate of diffusion or effusion for a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas r ∝ 1/(M)½

Back to the issue. It would be better if you write the department stating your low CGPA as directed by others. Though, I doubt if sciences will welcome such request but who are we to confidently say it's impossible? No hope is lost, so writing them can open your eyes to what you don't know exists.

PS: Don't think about high ranked schools or the like of VIU. Consider some privates but know fully well that you're going to pay much to achieve your dreams.

Best of luck!
