Good day everyone. i intend applyin for an f1 visa in usa. but an agent said 600k. but i feel thats so much since its something i can do myself just that i dnt knw the procedures. i heard if you send the required documnt and financial document, to the school, you'll be given the admission letter nd i-20 form so the form will be used to make your sevis fee, visa fee and every other required thing. please will 250k be enough for everything if i do it myself?, cause i dont think pay that amount to an agent.
Thanks

Good morning everybody!!!!

Nairaland has be a solution bank for both home and abroad.

That being said, i applied to one of the University in Czeck and this email was sent to me this morning.

Apparently, i'm not suppose to ask dis on this thread, but i choose to due to the fact that people hardly comments on Czeck thread

Good morning, thank you for sending the application to our Faculty of information technology. We really appreciated. The document you have send me ETS GRE doen´t show the level of your English. Our university require certificate where I can see the level of your English need to be C1 or a document showing that English was the teaching language at the your secondary/high school or university. Scanned English document can be send via email.

My Experience With Agents
I've always dreamt of schooling abroad right from my secondary school days. When I was in 200L, I grew frustrated about sch, so I decided to explore European schls( UK, Russia, Ukraine). Met an agent and he said I should register with his agency for 50k.. on top wetin? Not to talk of processing. I just gave up and concentrated on how to do my Msc abroad. When I heard of US and how generous their schools are with funding, I decided to give it a shot.
Met a boss ( an agent), he said aside GRE, I would pay him 150k/sch for processing. Tufiakwa! Me that my parent are teachers, where do I wanna see that amount from ontop processing? That's like #700k for 4 schls with GRE and TOEFL.
I decided to apply to China and Saudi; at least I would get scholarship. By chance or by miracle, I stumbled on this thread, the part 7. I read everything, and followed suit by reading other parts diligently. Then based on the exchange rate as that that time, I made a budget of 150k for GRE TOEFL and applications.
I even learnt that you could use NIPOST registered mail and you'd achieve a good and desirable result.
N.B I used it to send my transcript to ETSU for just #400, it used 7 working days.

To cut the long story short, I applied to 4 schools on my own, spent just about 150k. Sent one transcript, other schls accepted scanned copies.
Lemme stop here.

Agents would make money from you, make mistakes on your app etc. The best thing is to follow this thread.
People are always willing to help.

So I contacted my school for a switch of major from Computer science to MIS. The Director of International Student Affairs replied me that she has switched it for me... Just like that, lol... A new admission letter and updated i-20 will be mailed to me.

Thanks. Slimmy2005 and DeeTus

There is an international market where you can buy African foods or better still order online, as for financial aid, I don't think because they offer in-state tuition. Undergraduates tuition is 6390 USD while masters is around 7000 USD a year.
Housing is cheap, u can get a shared apartment for 370 to 400, utilities are like 40 a month
The beaver lodge in their website is 2086 for a semester.
Bro I go tell u the truth, the cold no be here, but they said this year own is not all that weird to compare last year. The most weird I have seen since I came is -9F.
But the place is pretty much good for study

pepe4reps:

kindly inbox me too d schools with full funding concerning my good scores in GRE. thanks slimmy

This your journey is going to be long and circuitous but it is doable and of course expensive. First you are going to send your transcript to an evaluation service, you might be lucky that your 2.34 might even be around 2.5 even if it is less no worries.
Secondly you are going to need to apply yourself on your GRE and TOEFL (you need to write both) while I respect the opinion of those telling you to get 330 I believe you do not need that kind of pressure just do the best you can.
Thirdly you search for schools that are not very selective(make no mistake even the most unrated state schools has the budget of all universities in Nigeria combined and are quite good) since you are going in for economics I suggest University of Missouri Kansas City, Pittsburgh state, they require 2.5 for admissions but with 2.3 you should be able to get in CONDITIONALLY but not to worry there are tens of people on this thread that travelled on conditional admissions.
Lastly commit everything into Gods hand and prepare yoy r mind to give it your best shot this time. From one underachieving economist to another see you at the top
