dayjeee: That's more like it. There was a school I checked and they required TOEFL, I mailed the school stating we speak English in Nigeria and I was taught in English. They replied that if I was taught in English that TOEFL is waived. So mail the school and ask.. All the best |

dayjeee: Looks like you have your answer already. Send them an email. TOEFL is waived for lots of schools...although that may not be too helpful if you are applying for a TA position 1 Like |

Well, my great people, its kinda long overdue for my POE and American transcript. Departed the shores of Nigeria on the 13th of August via Royal Air Maroc and it was a nice experience except the long layer overs (10 hrs in Casablanca, 7 hrs at JFK). Nice meal aboard the flight to JFK. Got to JFK around 2am and my POE officer (Asian man) asked me just two questions I can't remember again but no big deal. The flight from JFK to Denver was nice but long too (4 hrs). Got to Denver and took a prebooked shuttle to Fort Collins. Stayed with a nice white family for 3 days before moving to my own place. First week of classes has just flown by and its been great here so far. My 2 cents advice for those who do not want to take the GRE is that the stress of taking the test is really worth it especially for the sake of funding. I wont advise anyone to come here without properly loading up financially even if you get funding. Stats; GRE: 307, 4.0 AWA, TOEFL: 105, 4.02/5.0 (BSc), 72.3% (MSc), research/work experience (1 year), Agric Microbiology/Plant Science. I got my admission+funding via an advert on Twitter, the PI was looking for a student to do some research relating to my field and I threw in my CV, and God did the rest. I advise anyone with similar stats to follow Profs on twitter doing a similar research, they do tweet or retweet grad students openings in related labs. My desperation for funding led me to twitter and its another goldmine of info. Cheers and see you all at the top!!! 31 Likes 6 Shares |

My friend is presently at cleveland state university for his masters in social works. Applications process and Admisson requirements were very easy to come by. NO GRE,NO TOEFL, unofficial transcript accepted online scanned copies and other documents like bank statement and one or two letters of recommendation all scanned and accepted online. I hope this help you to have a rethink. Trice2: |

LagosismyHome: Waooo.. this is really outstanding, great info. But one more thing, after adding up those numbers.. what do you divide with to get your total CGPA ?? 3 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 12 by LagosismyHome(f): 2:43pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
chinemomah2020: Thanks ..sharp eyes . Post amended Multiply the new points given above by the course unit as usual (i.e. a 4-unit course you got a b in would now be b+ on the US scale = 3.33*4 = 13.32 grade points, a 3-unit course you made a c in would now be b on the US scale = 3.0 * 3 = 9 grade points, etc.). Then sum up the total grade points for all semesters from first year to final year and divide by the total number of units from first year to final year. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

hi everyone would love to hear from you all about my prospect am a graduate of pharmacology with cgpa of 1.75/5 have been working as a pharmacist assisitant. i intend going back for another bachelors in any medical science program.what could be my chances regarding my low gpa and interest for another bachelors degree. i hope to hear from you all |

lonelyhrt:How were you able to make it out of the program with that GPA. I thought when you are unable to secure good grades in your first year you'll be asked to leave the department. What I'll advice is apply for a masters program, this time you'll have to apply to private for-profit university that really do not care about GPA and also apply to a community college that offers Associate Degree in Nursing or any Medical/ Health science of your choice. Once you secure the admission, you can go with the masters I-20 to the embassy. If you succeed, you can switch school when you get to the US to the community college. 4 Likes 1 Share |
