Congrats. Nice one. I guess this is where you'll be going. What program?

And what's the tuition? Think more in terms of how much you have to pay out of pocket than the actual value of your award.

I will be paying about $15,000 out of pocket. That is not really a problem for me, the ish is the cost of living in MA. I actually applied to this school cuz they give application fee waiver for Nigerians and they also waived TOEFL, though I wrote it. I didn't think I would get in coz of their low acceptance rate.

Thanks. Does say a degree in Public Health make the person relevant in the US job market?

US Healthcare system is different (so they believe), so they don't take foreign trained medical practitioners who wasn't trained in America. Even the medical schools don't take foreign degree equivalent except in dentistry where you can be admitted as foreign trained dentist and undergo few more years of training. As to your pharmacy, I'm sorry, you may have to start over again or go for something related in MS/PhD such as pharmaceutical science etc.

Of course, nothing stops you from registering for both at the same time as long as there's an available date for both. Toefl is 180dols while GRE is presently 205dols. You can check out the ets website for both gre and Toefl for more details. All the best boss.

We'll from online findings, CNA jobs in nursing homes in NYC pay between $9.50 - $11/hr. People live on that but you're going to work your ass off to get enough that can sustain you. Its equivalent in hospital is patient care assistant (PCA), that pays between $14 - $17/hr but the bad news is that hospitals might not call unless you have at least 6 months experience as a CNA. With this, the decision is left to you.

Stop, take a pause to think.
What is your employment at the moment?
Will a masters guarantee an increase in wages that will re-pay the cost.
Do you have a fixed career path, or are you just hoping that with masters something will turn up?
Would your little money be better invested in your property?

The fact is that you need a statement of account to get the visa. Depends on the school in USA, about 4m to 7m is good. Your property will serve as good home tie. Gather money in your account, apply to a school, apply for funding, get the visa. Option 2: Apply to a german University, with 2.5mil, you are good. You cant forfeit you dream of acquiring a good education abroad because of money. Gracias.

Good evening all.
I have been offered conditional admission in Selkirk College, CA to do PGD. I am told to pay my tuition fee before unconditional admission letter will be given to me for VISA Application. Should I go ahead to pay at least half? Also, i am having challenge finding a sponsor with substantial cash as my Dad is late, what should I do? Thanks

If that's enough for the school to issue your I-20 then I believe it should be ok.

No. It will defeat the purpose of the thread. We don't just share info here because someone needs it right away. Whatever you post here will also be helpful to someone sometime in the future. WhatsApp is a bad idea.
