Warwick? Quite expensive. Well with respect to evaluation, her undergraduate school will have to send her transcript to an evaluation agency, make necessary payments, then the agency will send the evaluation to the school she is applying into.

Haha this man. I just sent her an email now. Will follow up around midday if she hasn't replied. You are leaving like mid August right? At least you still get time to hustle with Stanbic as well.

Fizzile no just waste your time all those things dey fictional when you reach bank they will give you caveat that it depends on availability I.e it is not guaranteed and trust me it won't . I could have paid #335 for a $ instead of paying #364 due to Stanbic delay/denial. If your surname is not Dantata/Buhari/Dangote/Alakija just forget.

Hello all visa approved this morning at lagos embassy. Here is my transcript.
VO: good morning.
Me: good morning with a very large smile
VO : continued looking seriously at my I 20 and typing very fast. Looked again then typed some more. Then she asked what is engineering technology?
Me: I looked straight into her eyes and said engineering technology unlike traditional engineering is an applied engineering that involves hand on practical approach to solving technical problem.( I knew then that I had gotten the visa I just knew)
VO:what area of research do you want to pursue
Me: I would love to work with dr moin uddin on the design and building of energyodelling for mechanical and electrical systems.
VO : your visa has been approved pick it up blah blah I honestly didn't even hear the rest.
Shikena that was it.
Thanks naira landers for all the information shared and thanks to my fellow ETSU course mate @texrem. Really appreciate.

I already sent you a PM, am going to ETSU also for Engineering Technology. Congrats bro.

Sorry to read this
You have to Provide more details what were the schools or the referred school....it is possible that that vo it is his or her line of study hence that comment. You should have responded back that even though xx is better these are the reasons for choosing y... although those reasons have to be very good ones


Thanks for your concern, let me give u the transcript

Vo: good morning
me: good morning
vo: your pasport and i20
me: i gave him
vo: organizational communication in MSU,..... unipen has a better coursework in that field, why not unipen?
Me: MSU has one of the best course work in biz and mgt science. And MSU is affiliated to Arthur J.b college of business where our top executives go for certifications.
Vo: i am telling you that unipen has a better coursework in this particular course.
Me: i have testimonies from people i have worked with in recent time who are HR consultants with PHD in this course and from MSU and with my research, MSU stands out.

He typed for a while before the denial..

upon my findings, unipen offers organizational dynamics and not organizational communication.

pls advice moreso, can i reapply to establish my case becos the school resumes Aug 10th. (3 to 4weeks time)
