Schwartz:

Thanks to you and Lagosismyhome. They have shelved the idea of schooling in US. But it was a huge shock to them finding out that they can't work outside campus

MrMann1:

I am a victim, yes I evaluated my transcript with my school accredited evaluation service SDR Evaluation. The evaluation report claimed i have 97 credit hour out of 120 and I have about 3 years undergrad towards Bachelors. Mind you, both ND and HND is strong Upper Credit

I got to the school and admission office said I DO NOT have a bachelors degree, no amount of plea that HND is equivalent to Bsc oo, my dept transfer only few courses and insist that I take undergrad courses to complete Bsc. They said some courses I took indicates LD (lower division) category cos it was a 2 unit at my polytechnic school, while it is 3 unit here in US, I tried to prove stubborn, but time was not on my side as classes started few days after my arrival here. It seems it will take me up to 2 years or more to complete the undergrad level.
The truth is it is stressful for HND grad to come here, they will rubbish all the 4 years of polytechnic stress, one of the staff that attended to me even wondered loudly how I got admission . My candid advice is either Hnd grad that intend to come for MS here first get a PGD in addition to his ND, HND transcripts plus GRE or just write only SAT exam straight and never mention higher institution at embassy.

Anyways, a bachelors degree will be to my advantage here, I will be looking forward to scholarship and internship offers and even if my visa expire, I still dey school noni so it is easily renewable.

MrMann1:

Nope. They gave me a post bac. Clearly on my i20. But I never knew that it will require me to take such amount of courses.

LagosismyHome:


Please what the name of this school ........ Person gats to be careful , as they are dashing out extra credit $$$$$ to do before credit $$$ for masters even begins

imperiouxx:


This is the problem with those schools that ask for a preferred evaluator. Once they started saying anything apart from wes, you should know they are about doing something unpleasant. Now, they're getting more money from you by recommending you for a 2 year undergrad course. Question is, did they not reviewed your transcript before selecting you for admission? Or must they show they are utterly incompetent delivering their duties?

Walspring:


With all what MrMann1 posted, the school stated the kind of admission offered to him on his i20 and i think it was him that doesn't understand it before resuming to the school

hybeenoni:
@ LagosIsMyHome & Co I appreciate your response.
However, I'm still confused here, my intended school require that I have 3.2 in a 4 point scale in the last 2yrs of my undergraduate study, after calculation, my cgpa for those last 2yrs was 3.81 in a 5pt scale.

Now do you think the 3.81 meets that 3.2 in the 4pt scale?

I will appreciate your response

ngobaby2264:
for the fact that I'm asking for help doesn't mean that I have to be an object of mockery. You should learn how to talk to people you've never met.

LagosismyHome:


Hummmm so the school gave you graduate admission and then when you got there downgraded it to undergrad..... if na me i no for gree oooo and would have asked to see the President or Provost of the University or even President Obama to settle the matter

Helkayklassic:



Lool... Naija situation nii.

MrMann1:

Fine, it was stated, but there are some courses that I have taken before and they still want me to take them, simply because some of my poly courses are 2 unit while it is 3 unit here.

I guess they were just teasing, no insult intended.

Those of you that don't wanna write toefl, be warned! I didn't write toefl so getting funding wasn't easy.When I got here, even guys from Bangladesh India Sri Lanka got TA and me that my English is top notch didn't get anything.
The grad school said I'm proficient in English but my dept said no. No be small thing o. My solid background got me funding. I am not taking any prerequisites unlike other incoming students. In short, write toefl. Abeg.
My fellow students said I speak good English You go wan fear sexy voice na
