justwise:

That is not entirely true, a lot of people end up in lowly ranked school because the fee is affordable, not everybody can afford top-ranked schools. Attending top-ranked schools is good but will not necessarily make you better academically than somebody who attended lowly ranked school. It may get you a job but you can still be useless at it

You dey mind am? Shebi na "Lesson" those lowly ranked schools be, no be University. Mr. B.Eng from KNUST....looool. Is it the B.Eng that's deceieving you? Me sef get B.Tech. As Justwise said, graduating from a top-flight school doesn't guarantee you a job. Feel free to apply to top ranked schools, but don't critisize people who don't!

Let him continue giving us statistic. Only if he knows that the Indians are whatever comes and the Chinese find it hard to blend their English usage and blending with the American culture than the Nigerians.

Who has Harvard or MIT admission .... Abeg, I need oooo.

The guy na comedian! . Me sef wan go MIT, infact everybody on this thread must go to either UMBC, HARVARD, MIT, CALTECH OR STANFORD! Nothing but Ivy league oo.

hello guys...i wish every one going for interview this season success...but remember to come back to say thanks. Please pals am still battling with WES on my transcript issue. My school say they have sent verification since may 7 but WES have not recieved it till today. However am applying to schools that dont require WES evaluation. So am considering UT austin, University of IOWA, Texas tech university and IOWA state university. Please help me choose one among them. Am going for Msc statistics and my academic records are not that high.(note: i applied to city university of newyork earlier)

Guy, why would you allow your school to send the verification themselves? Obviously, they sent it through regular mail..(And you know what that means) Go back to your school, plead with them and explain your situation. Tell them to re-issue another verification and this time tell them to give it to you to send through courier. If they won't, give them money for courier and ensure they send it in your presence

risher ris: Congratulations to al those who got visas approved today. It is not by your doing but I believe it is God's favor that located you.all of us that are yet to go should pray for such favor too......#myfaithkeepsmegoing#

@risher ris, please help with that hotel manager contact, am heading to lugbe now. Thanks.

sahlau: Wich is the best btw WES & ECE for transcript evaluation, need advice asap

WES is much better! Please go for WES. ECE reduces GPA. Someone with 3.55/5.0 did the ECE translation and they gave him 2.99/4.0 whereas with WES he got 3.24/4.00.

The difference is clear and glaring. Whether GPA is your focus or not, still go for WES translation. Its the best.

WES will take up to 4 weeks but you can shorten the whole process time by being proactive on your part. The part that delays the most about it is the school verification part after you've applied, paid the translation fee and had your transcript mailed to them. WeS will send the transcript back to your school for verification and its this part that delays the most. However, you can speed this process up by going to your school to make sure they verify it quickly and reply WES immediately.

@ bigfrancis, wat can u say about GCE?

sahlau: @ bigfrancis, wat can u say about GCE?

It's been said here countless time that the best is WES in term of CGPA grading which every student wants. Exception is if they don't evaluate transcripts from your school.

sahlau: @ bigfrancis, wat can u say about GCE?

Have totally no idea about it.

Amefrica: Walspring, u needa take a DELETED chill pill... Why are you so desperate ?!

This is not nice bro... I think we should all learn to post words of encouragement to those who are delayed instead of sounding this way.

It is pertinent to know that individuals have different approach to setbacks in life.

God Bless everyone on the thread....

I understand you quite well, all i'm saying is we all should sound much more encouraging to people who get delayed for one reason or the other because no one is perfect.

It only takes the GRACE of GOD to scale through at the interview.

Walspring:

TOEFL will cost you 175 dollars if you do the registration yourself. SAT cost 50 dollars if you also do the registration yourself but I don't know much about SAT registration but you can get some agent that will do that for you @ the rate of 12K maximum I mean SAT.
for TOEFL you need †̥o follow some processes.
(1) Since you said you have done TOEFL before, take note of your old confirmation no because that what they will use †̥o re- book you.
(2) You can register via phone call, Load α recharge card of 500 naira or more then call ETS on +31320239593, after some minutes you press option 2 for other test like TOEFL and their customer representative will attend †̥o you asking certain information like your ETS I.D etc.
Note:Visa card is accepted, you must have deposit the equivalent of the 175 dollars †̥o your account or someone else that has visa card as ATM card.

Mr Moderator, why did you hide my post... I was offering help to Walspring on how he can go about registering for his SAT and all you did was to hide a useful info I was passing to him..

I'm veryyyyy sure this is JUSTWISE'S handwork.. U no dey rest.. Wetin..... You are always here 24-7..... Mchewwwwwwwwwwww!!!

@ the guy that is schooling in Ghana.

Ivy League schools are good but doesn't translate to automatic job especially for an int'l student. If in doubt, attend the next SPE conference and you will be amazed by the thousands of Ivy league graduates looking for jobs.

Advice: Whichever school you attend, make sure you get good grades and don't be a LEARNER in the US. I rest my case.

@Ricky Rozay

I don't moderate this section for an agent and i don't want to be insulted doing it.

thank you for your benevolent and altruistic advice. Pleas can you help me choose one between UT Austin, Texas Tech uni, IOWA state uni, Uni of IOWA. I want to apply to one of them as backup as they dont require WES.

If obtaining graduate assistantship plus full tuition waiver is your priority, then know that UT Austin, Texas Tech and all schools in Texas give only 50% tuition waiver if given scholarship or GA. They don't give 100% tuition waiver. Its a general state of texas law. Just be aware.

UT Austin is a terrific school. If I were you, I'd go for it.

Ricky Rozay and Amefrica ... Can you just send me email cos i cant see una post and i cant send email to you cos of daily limits.. Maybe you can drop your email for me to contact u
