Thanks for your comments. I have to say it is well written and compliments your efforts to helping others, even the "stupid ones".

Adeish no need to respond to his comments. If you have an unanswered question ask again. There should be someone on the forum that will be willing to provide answers if they have. Alternatively, just search google.

In real life people deal with a lot of stuff they have no solutions to. However, on social media they have a perfect life without problems but if you read between the lines of their aggressive and uncouth contribution to public forums you can tell they are in pain. Visit Instablog Naija dem full there.

It's a matter of chance and how qualified you are to gain admission to the schools you are applying to. If you apply to one and you are not offered admission, what do you do ? Wait till the next year and reapply or apply to another school. I suggest you do your research and find about three schools that offer your course in preferred regions and then apply to those schools, there's a good chance one of the schools will require unofficial transcripts for now.

It is the responsibility of your University to send, so i'ld assume you pay and they'll send.

With regards to number to sending transcripts some schools require unofficial transcripts and you only have to send official after you have been admitted. In the event your school requires an independent credential evaluator then you have to send to the company (e.g WES)

Please guys..pls i have some ques: when applyin for us schools,are u mandated 2 register more than a uni? Secondly,how do u send ur uni transcript 2 all the uni u wana apply for?

TTruth is the decision on what to go for is personal. I am not sure I have heard of any masters such as Msc Networking or Msc Software. The masters program will be in either computer science or information technology with a specific concentration. With regards to recommendation for a good ict or computer science school, someone can come here and simply respond Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), California Institute of Technology or Georgia Institute of Technology but there are several factors that go into determining which one suits you (Cost, Location, Admission chances, cost of living etc.)

Truth is you have to do your homework, the questions you have asked are open ended and you can get several answers which may make you more confused.

Imagine I gave you the below response:

Database management is the best option, its very lucrative in Alaska. A good school in my opinion is Alaba International Computer Center, Oregun, USA. Does this help ? I guess No because your questions can be interpreted in different ways and thus will have several answers.

You need to invest time to search for what you want. Why not start your search by typing " Lucrative ICT careers in the USA and Job prospects for 2020". Then, top schools in region *** that offer course ***.

The applications for August 2018 can still be submitted(Semester begins in August *you need to research, bro you really need to).

Hello house, I am new around here and would probably get lost trying to search through the pages for an answer to my question so i'll just ask and hope someone will be kind enough to help/advise me.
I graduated from the department of ict with the networking option and i want to go for a masters but in a dilemma whether to go for networking still or just go into software( i feel the ict world is shifting more towards software...its a feeling lol) or any other better option. also i would like a recommendation from anyone of a good ict/computer science school in the usa. Also whats the first step i need to take and if i start processing now, can i go by september this year or i will need to wait till next year? So many other questions but i hope this little can be answered by someone. Thanks

There are several things to consider with this question, so I cannot advise on school choices for you as you will have to do the research yourself.

What course do you intend to study?
What is your preferred state (or Region)?
Which schools in that state (or Region) have a good and affordable program?
What is the criteria for receiving scholarship?
When are you willing to start? etc

Usually to be eligible for scholarships you will have to score high in the standardized exams. Since you have been out of school for a while, you will need to prepare for these exams very well. Your chances of getting scholarships are better. So the bulk of the work lies with you.

sKeetz:
Thanks man

Can you advise me on the list of schools to apply for that can offer scholarships?

No consular officer here, truth is if you don't try you may never know if you will get it or not. The chance that you will get the visa is 50% the chance that you will not is 50%. The best thing to do is start the process, prepare well and hope for the best.

sKeetz:
Please house, I need your advice

I am currently 24 years old and am considering going back to school, I finished secondary school 8 years ago and I couldnt proceed to the university due to circumstances beyond my control.

I want to apply to schools in the US for a bachelors degree, I am ready to take SAT/TOEFL if that will increase my chances of getting admitted. My question is what are my chances of getting the visa considering my age and what can I do to increase my chances.

Thank you all.

Which of the Texas A & M ? Meanwhile, if you apply via applytexas.com (I guess all schools in Texas use the site) you can pay with your GTB mastercard. That's what I used for my application to Texas A and M commerce.

giripaman:
Yes boss. Texas A&M

Which school are you applying to? Is the school in Texas?

giripaman:
Bro, nice thread and thanks for all the information. I'm trying to apply and I need to pay my application fee to submit my application but it seems I can't pay with my Mastercard only money order and cheque. How do I go about it? Thanks

ganstar89:
I had my F1 interview November 2017 and I spend less than 3min before the VO and he denied me he said I don't ve strong ties so I can't be given visa , so now I want to reapply pls guy's come to my aide what should I do

Share your transcript, what were the questions you answered before the V.O concluded that you didn’t have strong ties. It helps that people understand issues before offering advise. If not, nah generic response things

beezyblaze:
Hello us gurus in the house...please I'm sorry if I'm derailing the thread... Please i just have a question and i need advice from those that have been or are in the states for a while now....
Please i want to know how football is over there??
I'm an amateur footballer and 18 years of age... I'm considering going to the states to play football... Probably for a semi pro team or an academy but dont know how to go about it.
I thought of applying for an f1 visa but I'll definitely be out of status because i might not go for classes and i don't want anything that will jeopardize my stay in the states or that will come back and haunt me later in the future...
Please do anyone have any advice for me??
Probably if there's any academy that might invite me or something.
My flight fare and all is intact.
My plan is to enter usa in the rightest way and with my mind at rest ...Nothing else.
sorry if my question might be silly..
I just dont want to make any mistake..
Thanks in advance.

I know a very good footballer who got a scholarship to a soccer school from here in Lagos and was even backed by the biggest Network Service provider here in naija. He completed his bsc with the school and played for the university team for the duration of his studies. Unfortunately, he couldn’t sign a professional contract before his visa expired and he has tried for the second time to get a UK VISA as his Yankee visa wasn’t renewed. This is one experience, others may have turned out well.

US Basketball, Athletics, A.Football are more valuable than soccer.

Why do you think you have to contribute to it? Apparently most of us don't get how certain irrelevant posts derail threads......

Godchangemylife:
.

I don't think you have to contribute to this since you don't have anything meaningful to say then pass over it . You don't have to shade anyone to get noticed pls... After all it's not an obligation to reply a post here...!!!!

I deliberately didn't delete my initial post because I was expecting your kind of response. Thanks for the advise, in the event I do not get any help from here, i'll find a way with or without google.

Life's not hard....google is my friend always.......except it can't change your life only God can

Godchangemylife:
Why don't you also use google is google not your friend? Check google it may have a suggestion on how to resolve it

Hello Guys

Please I have been requested by TAMUC to send official diploma and official transcripts. It is stated on the school's website that electronic copies are not accepted for these two documents.

I understand that the official diploma in our WAEC result. However, I don't know what the process is to send WAEC results. Secondly, this NASU, SSANU strike that has been on for two months implies that I may not be able to send official transcripts despite having the scanned copies.

Kindly assist if you have a contact at the University of Lagos Records office or have a suggestion as to how to resolve this issue. In addition, I will appreciate if anyone that has experience with sending "official diploma's" can provide guidiance on what steps to take.

Happy Weekend

Thanks

Distinction - ND Banking and Finance
1st Class - BSC Banking and Finance
Proceed to PHD(i.e above 3.5 ) in Msc...... and this your friend can't do research? or determine what she wants for herself... but instead she needs strangers on nairaland to advise her.

Please tell her google is her friend...

Aitonline:
House, a friend needs an advice .

She got Distinction in banking and finance in ND, 1st class in Bsc in banking and finance and Also Phd grade in her masters in banking and finance.

She was employed as an assistant lecturer in a Nigerian university into the cooperative and rural development department with a condition that she must add more credentials on that department within an accreditation year.

She has been searching for such Phd in that profession.

I wouldn't know if anybody can help with a useful information in terms of school and such major in US.

She is contemplating maybe she can ignore the school directive and settle for finance or related major and if the admission succeed with assistantship, she will resign.

Please HELP.

I guess you have read the responses and replies to my initial post. If non speaks to you then I cannot help you.

That said, "we"(new joiners and old timers) appreciate your contributions and informed opinions on the thread. However, we hope that you will continue to support "this ministry" albeit in a more respectful manner.

Thanks Twoods, I reserve the "Oga" for the policeman at Ojuelegba who may delay me for driving without my licence.

TWoods:
Perhaps you should “step up to assist” first? Talk is cheap.

Harpaa:
Having same iss too.

The TOEFL results have been uploaded. As for the Unilag transcript issue, I would let you know how that goes

k199192:
Oga Twoods is not sparing the rod these days o.

Oga Twoods Oga Twoods!

You guys should keep encouraging his rude responses. He has information or he’s experienced with a process doesn’t necessarily mean he should respond to harmless (even if sometimes rhetoric or stupid) questions harshly. Truth is if he doesn’t contribute some other people will step up to assist.

Please did anyone here write toefl on January 6, if yes have the results been released? It’s been 11 days now.

Also, is there anyone here that’s trying to process Unilag transcript. They’ve been on strike for a while now. Is there anyway around this issue ?

Thanks...

sunshineluv5:
pls I just sent a pm

Okay

I will respond shortly

I did

sunshineluv5:
please is there anyone here that wrote the TOEFL exam today?

I paid 45K for mine, writing tomorrow. Don’t know if this is a good offer as I was given the impression that it’s discounted.

NefT:
@WalSpring and any good members of this forum, please any discount on TOEFL this season? The school I applied to UNH for Fall insisted I write TOEFL. I will appreciate any benevolent offers. May God bless all the kind hearted people that have been assisting selflessly on this forum.
