Upon all that essay, I still didn't go back. Now a doctor here.
Anyway, taking notes here to help couple of my friends who are interested in pursuing the american dream as well. Been long..so I need to get used to the process again.

texrem:

Me: Goodmorning Ma
VO: NO answer

Me Goodmorning ma(with a smile)
VO: Goodmorning, can i have your documents. (look into my i20, sevis, confirmation page)

VO: OMG! this is perfectly arranged, did you arrange all this by yourself?
Me: Yes Ma, I did. I replied with a stunning smile. (Remembering my texrem words: Maintain eye contact, be audible and smile)

VO: ETSU?
VO: Nice

VO: Who's sponsoring you?
Me: My Mum

VO: What does she do?
Me: She's a contractor...........

VO: I will be approving ur visa.
Me: Thank you.

I thank God first and foremost. Thanks to Texrem my blood for the confidence he instilled in me, and all the gurus in the house. You guys are wonderful! I remain the biggest silent follower.

NO VISA OFFICER WILL SAY OMG! ITS AN HYPERBOLE OR EXXAGERATION OR AN ILLUSION

CONGRATS SHA!

What is the difference between 'OMG' and 'Wow'? I am asking because I got 'Wow' a couple of times during my interview. Or would you say mine was fake as well? As you were not the VO, I think it's wrong to rubbish someone's transcript. If you are not convinced, ignore and move on.

Congrats @seeker88 and all successful visa applicants!

I won't comment as to whether or not a Consular Officer will say, "OMG!", but I will say that we do not expect nor want documents arranged in any way. When you approach the window, you should hand over your international passport, I-20, and SEVIS receipt. The order does not matter.

VO

Believe it or not. I know someone a visa officer told "everything you said is rubbish and doesn't make sense, but I'll be approving your visa". This is someone I know very well. So you can't predict a VO nor his/her mood. But OMG tho

texrem:


Thank you for the response. I will never quote him again.

Baba, you don't need to reply everything.. we just claim to know it all, as if we're the vo .. how can you say a transcript is fake when you weren't there, if you feel it's fake, just pass by.. ignore.. there's nothing difficult in ignoring.. I see some peoples reply here and at times I feel like replying esp when they're rude about the whole situation.. but I simply ignore ... biko let's learn to talk and correct with love, I believe we're one big family..

I just weak as I dey read that thing. People pray more than that and still get denied. If he'd follow that route, I'd rather he asks for direction from God whilst amending loopholes.

You know no man can receive anything unless it's given unto from above. If an individual ain't destined to travel, no matter how many degree(s) s(he) acquire and no matter how s(he) is qualified for a visa s(he) won't get it.

Prospective PhD Applicants:

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville just initiated a Doctor of Philosophy of Data Science and Engineering (DSE). This PhD program is interdisciplinary for lovers of big data, statistics, supercomputers, modeling, engineering, etc. One of the perks is that you get to use those supercomputers at ORNL and also have those research scientists at ORNL as mentors or research advisers. I would think that their admission decisons would be flexible since this would be their first. Technical people considering a Ph.D. in the following research areas should take advantage:

Health and Biological Sciences
Advanced Manufacturing
Materials Science
Environmental and Climate Science
Transportation Science
National Security
Urban Systems Science

The program provides an annual stipend of up to $30,000, a tuition waiver, and health insurance for PhD candidates pursuing research in one of the areas mentioned above.


Good luck!!

Good day beautiful people. please am a newbie to this thread. I wish to apply for MSC in computer science or information technology at US university. but am not certain of any school that will offer me Msc direct with HND certificate. please anyone with an idea of a school I can apply with my HND? Any help or idea will be appreciated immensely. Thanks all

my advise for you is to apply for bachelor's degree No standard university in US will accept your HND.
Note- I finished from MAPOLY

As much as you wish to help someone, i suggest you be 100% sure of your information before feeding people with it. Though your intention seem positive, . As for the question; "CAN I GET ADMITTED WITH A HND FROM A NIGERIAN POLYTECHNIC, BY A USA UNIVERSITY INTO A MASTERS PROGRAM".....The answer is a YES and as a matter of fact, you can even get full funding or a GA that covers your fee in part or in full, with monthly stipend that comes with it.

Have you gone for your interview? I also applied for financial economics at Bowling Green state university, Ohio fall semester. Pls try to gey back to m

YES, YES, YES you can apply and get admitted into a graduate program with a HND degree from a Nigerian polytechnic, and can even get some level of funding or GA. On the names of schools that can admit you, the 4000+ institutions in the USA are a possibilty, depending on your profile and entire application. If you wish u can PM me or ask further questions. will be glad to answer those ones i am very sure of.I hope this helps you. Best of luck.

Any Body from San Fransisco Area ?

LagosismyHome:


Someone just compiled all transcripts last week.... saw the link posted here ...

log1:


Yes but it was for just Part 11.

I'm half way done with the ids

LagosismyHome:


i looked at it briefly and it was 70 pages long

Na wa....70 pages and its only part 11 ...nobody won stay naija again

I think this is why sticking with ids is better. Then anyone that needs it can locate each transcript from the profile.

biikeys:


Hmm..that'll take a whole lot of time...a lot of those profiles probably got deactivated already. BTW I remember when justwise created part 2 and you thought it was a bad idea

Yea. Now I know it's a brilliant idea breaking the thread since it's going forever.

Dot1:


3.16 cgpa is not bad especially when converted to a scale of 4.0. Some schools actually take 2.75/4.0, maybe you would need to do more searching.

Since you are going for masters I would suggest you take GRE and/or TOEFL/IELTS. Try and ace the 2, get good recommendations and write a good SOP. Application packages are assessed holistically.

If you should apply for spring depends on how far you are in the process. If you already took the above tests, you might give it a shot others think of another semester. Good luck

Thanks so much for the swift reply but I believe some schools do not require GRE /TOELF or any other standardised test as a prerequisite for admission. Can't I just apply to those ones to save cost and time in as much as my CGPA of 3.16 isn't bad(as u stated above) or are there any special reasons?

That aside, I've still not understood something o. Must I take this standardized test before I can be entitled to scholarship /waiver and the likes? Please enlighten me more as I will like to get scholarship either full ride or part?
Thanks once again...

femi321:
1) Yes but you need to write GRE to increase your chances. You also need to write a good SOP and get good LOR. 2) You can meet up but you dont have to rush it, you need to prepare well for GRE, get your application materials together. If you ask me, I believe Fall is better because schools admit more students in Fall.

Thanks bro for this piece.
1. How long does it take to register, write the test and get the result (GRE)?
2. If i start anytime soon, can I still meet up with spring?
3. I don't even know how to write SOP and by the way, is it for the school or the embassy? Please help me clear the air on this too
4. Which one is LOR?
5. if I don't do GRE, can I get scholarship? If yes, how?

Please answer accordingly. Thanks bro

Good day house, pls I need info on any educational institute I can register my Toefl exam with at cheap prize in Ibadan, and secondary I need info on colleges in d us I can submit application to for my post doctoral in aquaculture management,thanks

1) You can register for GRE as soon as you are ready and prepared to take the exam. Its done online at www.ets.org. You can also get all the information you need about the exam on the website. You will get adequate materials to prepare for the exam here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9ot6d07hp1lkm7/AADL_dTihjEvNBRCBsmAcoXja?dl=0 . Proceed to this thread to learn from people's experience about the exam https://www.nairaland.com/1832477/how-achieve-high-scores-gre/44#39955826
2) Honestly, If I were you I will plan towards Fall 2018, more opportunities open up in Fall because that's the main admission season in the US. However, you can still meet up with spring but everything will be at a rush which doesn't always help you to put in a good application.
3) Nobody knows how to write SOP until they start. It takes about 3weeks-4weeks to write a good worth graduate school SOP, I will upload a good SOP to the link above today or tomorrow. The SOP is just as important as your GRE score and CGPA.
4) In life it is always good to know how to fish than to always ask for fish from a fisherman, learn how to use google for some public knowledge questions. A quick google search would have given you the meaning of LOR. I am not discouraging you from asking questions but always try your best to research about your curiosity first, Infact no excuse for ignorance. LOR is letter of recommendation. Most times, you need 3 LORs from your undergraduate Lecturers.
5) No except you apply to some very low ranked school even at that, your CGPA isn't that great. In summary, go and prepare for GRE to boost your chances of admit and funding. Few things in life are certain, admit and funding isn't one of them but you can only do your part and leave the rest to God.

[quote author=Folsy post=57653403]i'd like to say a very thanks to u guyz.. Part 10 transcript helped alot; especially with reference to answering the question 'Y that school'.. Which I learnt how to answer by using the tips from this platform. I was advised to answer, stating that I was encouraged to attend a certain school by a graduate from the school who is currently utilizing the skills and knowledge he acquired in Nigeria, secondly I also stated research work that's currently been done in my department and my excitement in been part of that.
And above all, thanks to God.

Me: Good morning.. . ( passed my passport and i20 already, didn't wait to be asked)
VO: y ETSU
Me: While working as a medical doctor at INEC, I had the privilege of working with the medical director who happens to be an ETSU graduate hence galvanized me to study public health with a concentration in Epidemiology as he has done and contributed significantly to the reduction in the incidence rate of Child health morbidity and morality. He worked with the current Epidemiology HOD at ETSU in a research titled..
Secondly, EtSu is recognized for it's research skills recognized by its collaboration with John Hopkins University in a reaseach aimed at reducing COPD incidence rate.
(at this point, he had already started typing and I guess approving my visa application )

Today 06/20/2017 at about 12:30 CST, I went to make sevis payment for a friend. On getting to the Western Union agent, I was surprised when he asked if it wasn't a scam after I told him I was to make the payment on behalf of someone in Nigeria.
I explained the whole sevis payment to him but still he wasn't convinced. He asked for my ID and after playing with his computer for some minutes, he told me he couldn't make the payment. I felt embarrassed but I didn't wanna cause a scene, I just walked away and went to another place to make the payment.
I totally understand a lot of "Nigerians" use WU for scam but isn't the coupon and my ID enough proof
