Hey guys,this is where I really need tactically suggestions. I need a strategy to go about my transcript issues. Have applied and need to forward my transcripts but I need a strategy here. This is how it goes:
I have two transcripts to send,my BSC and my PGD. My BSC is from Michael Okpara Uni,while my PGD is frm Unical. Have applied into three schools. One requires evaluation,the other two want transcripts sent directly. Now how best do I send these transcripts to the two schools and to the one that requires evaluated transcript by IERF or WES? Please give me the best strategy to go about this plz.
i don't think there is a shortcut to it,u will,during my time despite evaluating my transcript and ordering the evaluated copies to the schools I applied,after I was granted admission they still requested I send an official transcript from my Undergraduate university...I think evaluated transcripts will come handy after ur graduation..My opinion thoh

they are both good,just that WES has some schools in Nigeria that they haven't establish evaluation agreement with as such they wouldn't evaluate transcripts from such schools like mine,so I had to use ECE..
Iam also contemplating using WES,ECE or IERF. I heard WES boost GPA. Don't know how true. And its like WES waste somuch time because of the issue of replying ur school to confirm if verify if they sent the transcript. Meanwhile IERF doesn't do all that. So my question is what's the evaluation of ECE and IERF like? Does it reflect on GPA?

like I said earlier,I am only conversant with WES and ECE,if u have signed up on WES go and check if ur schools are listed on the evaluation list that WES works with,else it will be a wasted effort..for ECE I had a Cgpa of 3.62/5 and after evaluation I got 3.10/4..I think WES would have been a bit higher coz of their grading criteria

ECE was cool,it took less than a month to conclude the evaluation..they also use same verification process like WES,ur school must attest to ur transcript

Since your conversant with WES, what's the delay rate like? Cos I heard it takes somuch time for WES to evaluate. Heard they will have to write to the school to verify if the transcript is from them,the school will now have to reply them before they start evaluating. How true is that? Cos I believe all those will really delay the evaluation process.

Less than a month? That's serious. The problem will have to do with the period the school will have to respond to the verification.

stolid:


It should come up to a 2.5 of 4.0 if you use the service of WES. You may also have to apply to low profile schools, and maybe some mid-profile ones too. Prepare hard for the GRE and ace it. Anything less than a 310 wouldn't make much sense, given your CGPA.

You should also work on an excellent SOP explaining your academic shortcomings and how it has made you a better person, and get your lecturers to write you sound recommendations. Funding would be a long shot in all candour, and I assume you aren't gunning for it either.

Wish you the best.
I really appreciate a lot,pls how can I get some GRE ,materials to read and maybe text books.

2.36

You are just speaking a world wide language that we understand. 2.36/5 should be a bit higher on a 4 point scale (WES evaluation) like stolid told you. Evaluate with WES only while you prepare for the GRE/GMAT. Then look for schools that accept below 2.7/4.

Good luck.

If i understand you well, you're planning to use GCE? You might end up crying when your 5 point CGPA is cut like the way doctors cut off dead tissues. WES evaluation favorites Nigerian grading system. Their requirement is relaxed too. Best of luck with whatever you choose.

Greetings. Pls I want to ask u this question. If my B1B2 visa expires on March 30, 2016, when is the maximum time I can travel to the US ? In other words, with my visit visa expiring on the 30th of March, 2016, can I still use the same visa to travel and depart Nigeria on the 25th of March, 2016, ( 5 days before the visa expires ), and if yes, on my arrival at the POE, will I still likely be given 6 months at the POE ?
Secondly, can someone visits the US twice in the space of 3 months apart, and spending like 10 days each on each visit ?
Thanks

Your 3.62/5 evaluation would have been 3.20+/4 if it was WES
