He took the courses that followed each other with similar names and added just one with a different name, easy to remember that sounds professional like he knows what he's going to do cheesy

Me: (Cuts in sharply) Does that mean I wont get this funds transferred at official rate of 199NGN
Bank : Yes it means the rate is subject to forces of demand and supply
Me: (Sounding dissapointed) In that case there may not be need for this again
Bank: Relax I will check the current rate for you
She then typed some things on her system and said : the current rate is 199NGN
Bank: You will get the debit alert once it's complete, but I have already generated the code for you at 199NGN.


Sir, CBN has suspended all $$ transactions till Monday when the new rate would be out.
So as far as I'm concerned, there's no official rate. CBN approves all form A and it takes sometime so don't be surprised if they don't charge you @ 199

hello sire...firstly i would like to congratulate you on ur successful VISA interview...i'll be writing my GRE exams soon and Emory university is my schl of choice..i will like to apply for a phD degree in pharmacology..i hope you don't mind sharing your GRE scores ...and also explain the mode of application,letters of recommendation etc....thanks

Thanks. For the GRE I scored 311 (verbal 159 quant 152) and 4.0 in analytical writing. I may not be able to help you much on the mode of application because I applied for Public health which is done thru SOPHAS (a centralized application service for all accredited schools of public health). Your dept will have their admission requirements on the school website so I think you should check it out. Emory is a wonderful school for health related courses so good choice. Good luck on the process.

Hi Everyone,
I promised to share my transcript here earlier today.
I got to the embassy 5.30am for 6.30am appointment on Wednesday. Cleared at the security, got in to the building at about 6am. VO showed up 6.20 am and the show started.
I was interviewed at Window 5 and I had 3 guys in front of me. The first two guys were denied and the 3rd guy visa was approved. He is very young man; he was accompanied by his mum
Now my turn;
Vo: Pass me your passport
Me: gave him my passport with 1-20, service fee receipt in the middle
VO: What are you going to do in the United States
Me: I want to pursue my PhD degree in Chemistry specializing in Organic Medicinal Chemistry
at UTD
VO: Tell me about the University
Me: UTD is a is a public research university that offers great research opportunities in the field of
Organic medicinal chemistry, especially in drug designing and development. ............. (added other information about the univ data)
VO: What course will you be taking?
Me: At my first year, I will take CHEM 5308: determination of molecular structure to physical
methods, CHEM 5309: Organic Chemistry I, CHEM 5310: Organic Chemistry II, CHEM 5312:
Advance Organic Synthesis, Separation technique
VO: Your Visa is approved, pick up your visa in the next 2 days and gave me info about Form I-20
Me: I smile and said thank you, he smiled back.
I was only asked 3 questions; the whole interview was about 1.30 mins (less than 2 mins) and no document was asked apart from my passport, though I gave him form 1-20 and servic confirmation with my passport

Advice:
Be yourself, be natural and be truthful especially at your interview and when filling your visa application form
Speak up and clearly
Don’t over stress yourself but be prepare for any question, a question may lead to others



Congratulations Bro.......... Sky is ur limit IJN and enjoy ur stay in Obamaland

I was at UBA yesterday to do the transfer of funds from my account to school's account via Flywire
So I filled the Form A yesterday and added my documents

Me: Have you made any transfer to Flywire before
Bank: Yes, I have done a couple of them.
Me:How long will it take for my transfer to get approved and get sent
Bank: She smiled as if to say that's a Jamb question
Me: I know it depends on several factors but what is the average duration
Bank : I can't say exactly but it wouldn't take time anymore as the long scrutiny wouldnt be needed anymore. The CBN has removed the restriction of Dollar transfer. Hence no more official rate
Me: (Cuts in sharply) Does that mean I wont get this funds transferred at official rate of 199NGN
Bank : Yes it means the rate is subject to forces of demand and supply
Me: (Sounding dissapointed) In that case there may not be need for this again
Bank: Relax I will check the current rate for you
She then typed some things on her system and said : the current rate is 199NGN
Me: Is there any form of rationing done based on the demand for dollars
Bank: In the past ..Yes. But now... No as the restrcitions has been removed. If you have your money you get the amount of dollars you requested for.
She then scanned my documents and sent to Head Office.
Bank: You will get the debit alert once it's complete, but I have already generated the code for you at 199NGN.




I contacted the school made them know I had ordered some amount actually much more than my tuition to be transferred into my Student Account via Flywire to be used for Tuition,Living Expenses, Books and Insurance. I then asked how the credit balance will be refunded.
Here is their response:

Today, I learnt a lot in just a short experience;
1) TRUST GOD TOTALLY
2) BE YOURSELF
3) KNOW WHY YOU REALLY WANT TO GO ABROAD (whether about the school, course or whatever is taking you there)
4) DONT OVER-THINK IT, LET IT COME NATURALLY AND SPEAK LOUD AND CLEAR.
5) BE AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE YET ELEGANT
6) LASTLY, BE TRUTHFUL ( because somehow the VOs know)
7) DONT LOOK DOWN ON ANYONE
Congrats Duran and thanks for this piece. Very inspiring.

NL is indeed a blessing to many. Visa approvals flowing like milk and honey.
God's grace to all those that have gotten their visas and to those (me invluded) still expecting.

Yes they will write to your school to confirm the result. Bottom line, make sure to have a friend in your school (result and record department) to be pushing for you. Or you can disturb them by following up. I'm sure you should know what is obtainable in your school.


Just curious. I had 3.28 in electronics engineering in my undergrad, after de evaluation do you know the range the grade will fall into. Thanks!

How did U get Caltech? Did U score 200% In SAT
I got 2330/2400...using old SAT scoring system. Obviously my SAT score got me admissions with full scholarships to all three best engineering schools in US...CALTECH, MIT and Georgia Tech. Best decision I ever made was to go to CALTECH; my parents were leaning more to MIT for the name.

Yes I think so. Check with their Admissions offices. 90% of my classmates then at CALTECH were on full scholarships. They have the money $ billion endowed to them by NASA, US defense, engineering companies, drug companies, e.t.c, to admit and train the best minds around the world.

Yes but understand that what worked Mr A might not work for Mr B

Is better you write the test so that it can be an added advantage for you, also help you to get scholarship in future and stopped you from the stress and wasting your money from doing English programme first when you get to US before starting your main course of study.

In the case of MSc of PgD, would toefl be enough?
Gre?kindly specify which
