MsNas:
Figures. So if they're not required to write a thesis of any kind, what do they do to earn their degree at the end of the day? Internship of some sort? or just the coursework they've taken over the course of their program is enough? My room-mate's Japanese friend just graduated in the same department as her. Although, i don't know if he wrote a thesis, I know he told me he's taking a kind of comprehensive exam that covers all the courses he took over the 4 semesters of this masters. Does that sound like M.Eng?

Exactly. They take a comprehensive exam. In some schools, the exam could be oral just like oral defence of thesis.

Bro I contacted my school
The transcript office people said I should wait for 2 weeks before they can even get the wes verification request letter and that I have to pay for courier after its done .
The mail will first go to student affairs then registrar before going to records.

I was just weak.

Someone is trying to extort money from you bro! You don't need to pay for any courier fee since Univ of Ibadan replies WES on verification via email. Very few schools send the verification through regular mail. Perhaps you can get some perspective from my experience since i did both UG and PG at UI:
1. I applied for my transcripts from student records(UG) and PG school. They both wanted to send it through courier separately but i told them at the student records that i'm also sending my PG transcripts to the same place,so they took my UG transcripts to the PG school. PG school sent both transcripts in one package-so i just had to pay for courier service once
2. WES sent verification request letter with photocopies of transcripts (took about 2weeks to get to Ibadan) to student affairs,it passed through the registrar's office,then landed at the student records. students' records detached the PG part and sent it to PG school for verification. One lady at the records said I will have to pay for verification if i want the reply to WES sent speedily.She said UI sends reply via regular mail but I could pay for courier to make it very fast. I challenged her that other schools reply WES via email,"why should UI be different?" . She just kept quiet afterwards. No be my 8k she go chop I had gotten all the info i needed from nairaland
3.I just followed up on both schools to know when the verification was complete. Got an email from WES shortly afterwards that my transcripts had been verified and my evaluation would be ready in a week.

Okay, but what happens if one runs out of status? Lool

The person goes back to his/her own country and starts re-application again.

MsNas:
Really? M.Eng degree holders can't do PhD? Never knew. Do you know why please?

MEng is for those that want to be technically sound. It is more technically-based. Thatz why dey do more practicals & spend more time doing internship. No thesis for dem also.

Just like MBA and MSc.

I kinda had an idea about the technicality aspect. I was just curious about why those that bagged a M.Eng can't proceed through the PhD route. Lol. I guess most people don't know though. I'm pretty much sure my friend has no clue

Oh Okay, Thanks

slimmy05: Just like MBA and MSc.

Can you explain that? I mean the basis of comparison. I thought MBAs are for Business majors?

MsNas:

MBA is professional and MSc is more of academics as you get to write a thesis. You cant do PhD with MBA.

We have MSc accounting and we also have MBA accounting, marketing, human resources etc. If one wants to further to PhD then MSc is needed not MBA

Haaaa!!!
Thank you sir
You have a pm sir.

zeezahbee: the guy at the enrollment center in my school gat beard and have seen several people with beard in america with beards. america need your brain not your beards. even at the mosque yesteday, saw plenty people with beards and they all gat job. once you can kept it clean and frosh and you know what doing, you will be fine

Don't misunderstand me. I remember mentioning specifically 'corporate jobs'. In corporate America, men don't wear beard. Ever seen Obama, or any of the past presidents, or men in the white house, or secret service, or CEOs of US companies wearing beard? For non-corporate jobs, no one cares. If you're working at McDonalds, or Subway or USPS, or Dairy Queen nobody cares about your beard. But in corporate america, it is not allowed.

zeezahbee: none, its either you resume to your school for fall and transfer to another school for spring or you defer your admission now, chill in naija and start applying for another school then when you get to the us, you transfer to the new school of your choice. your visa will still be valid as long as you can present an updated i20 for spring. shikena

@hayjayfeez, please note that if you intend to defer your admission like Zeezahbee advised and you do not show up for the fall semester, your school may terminate your SEVIS and render your visa INVALID. You should contact the school's international office and ask the necessary questions.

if he defer his admission, his school will send him an updated i2o for spring and thats all, his visa is gonna still be valid. he can only run out of status if he gets to the usa and fails to enroll.

can you state the first school? You're free to change school. If you can share the two school and course that would further help.
