house i don get date for friday oh, make una pray for me ohhhh house.

Go and bring that visa to this thread. God is with you.

@ djunit; Thanks for the info. What school are you attending in NYC; mine is NYIT. When is ur school resuming or when are you expected to arrive campus? You may also wish to provide ur email address.

@djunit; once again, Thanks for the info. Turkish has a cheaper flight for less than 200k. Ciaoo! Pray for me, my interview is in two weeks.

@ Superbrain , thank you very much for taking your time to pour out the details. But do you think a 2010 winter admission would be acceptable? I don't think I can get an offer before the August 30th deadline. What do u think?

@ neroflick; in my experience of scholarship application processing, please apply with the most recent admission that you have with you whether in the country or school you intend to attend or not. with this, you won't lose the chance to apply and get the opportunity to contest for whatever slots are available. what is important is the course of study and your eligibility. When you are finally offered sponsorship, there are procedures for change of institutions and country of study. Best of luck

@Ojap, @bomly,
congratulations in advance,

hi i m veri new hia n wld b requirn plenty of assistance. hope u ll all oblige me. i intend to study for a masters in journalism in a US school but all of the schools seem require a GPA of 3.0. i v a GPA of 2.4, wats d way forward. is dis d end of the road for me?

Is the GPA On a scale of 5.0 Nigeria scale or has your GPA been evaluated by an evaluating agency by WES?If your GPA is 2.4(Nigeria).Then its U.S equivalence should be 2.6 or 2.7.You should be able to find schools that accept that.And no,thats not the en the road.All u need do is search the internet through google,braintrack,peterson etc.At worst,if admitted,they may ask you to take some courses to cover up.Bruv,u dnt expect us here to do all those searches for you bt i have given u a clue.I am also aware relevant experiences works for journalism.Gud luck.
