Dimejidude: Morning Guys.I want to apply to a University In the States For My Undergraduate Degree.Do i have to sit for the SAT exam first or Apply to the University? I'm a Novice to all these! You can write SAT before applying or after applying. Writing after applying only works if you applied very early enough and you got enough time before the application deadline closes. In most cases its more appropriate to write before applying, so that you'll be sure of your score and whether you qualify before applying. Applying and then writing the SAT score only to score below the minimum score can be very disheartening and your application fees could be as good as wasted. Dimejidude: Does anyone know how much it costs to take the SAT test in SAT costs roughly N15,000. It can be registered here in Nigeria and in Lagos also. Don't ever register through an agent. They will charge you exorbitantly and you'll see yourself paying N10,000 to N20,000 higher than the official SAT fee of N15,000. Visit my profile page and send me an email. I'll reply you with details on SAT registration. 2 Likes |

@Cuddi007, it is not as rosy as it was before. Things have really changed. Australian Permanent Residency and citizenship is so hard to obtain right now. And what are you up to? Well, it's possible if you meet all the requirements and you can get a 4-year permit. Australia is a nice country and one of the best places to live. |

femoric9: Pls house,hope time is still on my side to appy for spring with d hope of a graduate assistantship,. I've written my GRE with 155Quant and 149Verbal. I will be writing TOELF dis month ............ You might want to start looking at Fall admission due to ASUU strike, as this would likely prevent you from applying for transcripts and getting hold of lecturers to serve you good recommendation letters. Another reason why you should also consider Fall admission session is that majority of graduate assistantship are available during Fall session. Don't be ''afraid'' of your GPA, there is nothing you can do to raise it up, too late for that sir . Endeavor to write a believable SoP. However, I would advice you to apply to as many schools as possible and maybe stay away from the annoyingly competitive ones due to your academic stats. To be honest, I don't think it's compulsory to ''always'' convert GPA to US equivalent. In my quest to know more, I've come across several US unis asking international students NOT to convert their gpa to American equivalent. I think it varies across Unis, so I suggest you ask the schools you are applying into. However, if you have $5, you can make use of iGPA service on WES website or use the steps earlier listed by BigFrancis. Alternatively, you could use foreigncredits.com. I've assessed it and it gives a gpa almost similar to WES, it's free to use. Yes, you can apply before writing your TOEFL. I wish you the best. 1 Like |

Just checked out the free GPA calculator at foreigncredits.com, quite identical to WES evaluation. Nice! femoric9 should at least know his 'American GPA' |

nifty: @imperiouxx how can one go about getting immunization records from naija for a college in the us is there a way to go about this? Go to the Ministry of Health in your area or any federal or state hospital and take yellow fever hepatitis shots. Then you'll be given the famous yellow card. For most states, the yellow card can only be obtained at the Ministry of Health in the state, which will require your taking the shots there at the ministry. As for measles, you already took the injection as a baby at 6 months or so. You don't need to take extra measles shots again. All you have to do is look for the card or ask your mom for it. Its usually a small or long green card. Ask momsi. She go find the card give you. Some schools, like mine, requires the Tuberculosis test which you can only do at a hospital. Did mine for N500 and is called the Skin test where a certain fluid is injected into your arm and you are asked to return after 72 hours for the result. In all you should spend roughly 2,500 to 3,000. |

Pls,how can i go about it. Tanx for always bin dia Bro and Sis 1) No more time for Spring. Spring 2014 deadline for international students has passed. Your next possible option is Fall 2014. 2) Only use WES if your school asks specifically for it. If they don't, then don't bother. I applied to 3 schools and none requested for WES-evaluated transcripts. 3) Only write TOEFL if requested by your school. Some schools waive the TOEFL requirement for Nigerians while some others don't. 4) Your GRE score is a total of 304 and is average enough to get you into average US schools. 5) Your 2.8 CGPA on 4-point scale is likely to fall somewhere around 2.9/4.0 to 2.95/4.0. So I'll advise you look for schools with lower CGPA requirement ie those schools with 2.75/4.00 CGPA as minimum. 6) The strike has only helped to further delay your application thus telling you that you can't make it for spring 2014 even if you had wanted to start applying earlier since july/august(when the strike started). So just be patient and apply for Fall. Moreover, more graduate assistantship positions come out in Fall than Spring. |
