For graduate studies in Sciences, the standardized examination required is GRE. For funding purpose, most schools will require a Language test score.
A good way to search for programs might be to start with www.usnews.com. Another good site to follow up to know when schools start making admission decision and sometimes to judge how competitive you may be for your program of choice is to use www.thegradecafe.com and navigate to your program of choice.
Evaluating your credentials depends on what school(s) you are applying to. Not every school requires this since some of them have in house evaluators that does evaluation on international credentials.
Lastly, on visa application process, you might want to follow this thread and learn what the next step is and how to prepare for interviews.
Above all, I wish you the best in your academic pursuit.



I guess many might have skipped it unintentionally.

You having a sealed transcript comes with a condition. The cover letter inside your transcript must have been addressed to wes, You must submit your school's details to which ever courier service you chose as the sender of the transcript and you must submit the number of the contact person in charge of transcript from your school. The advantage of all this is that it makes your evaluation process faster. Some schools takes forever to send your transcript to wes or which ever evaluation body u chose.

Are you saying that if I apply to a University that does not require Nigerians to submit language scores, then I wont be offered funding?. I dont think that is true!!!

AyLuxury:

The transcipt wasn't addressed to WES. It was mailed to a relation's establishment and I picked it up there. How then do I go about this?

Guys I need your help. How do you fill the information below on your ds-160. Or do I just fill in the address of my school? Cuz I don't even know where I'll stay til I get there

BarristerAlarig:


No school in the US will admit you into an M.sc with an HND except you evaluate your transcript with WES. If you evaluate your transcript, it will be evaluated as the equivalent of a US bachelor's degree. You can then apply for M.sc admission.

Why sounding so sure about this? Do you know all the schools in US? Anyway, there are schools that evaluates transcripts in-house and yes they give admissions to HND into their masters program without WES. However its advisable to always have the WES evaluation.

Hi everyone.
I had my interview for the fall semester semester this morning in Abuja. I was delayed.. Here goes the transcript. I was interviewed by one black woman in window 11. The other two people before me were denied too.

VO...... Good morning
Me..... Good morning ma'am

VO.... You are going to the the USA to do what?
Me.... To pursue my MSc degree in Computer science and quantitative methods with a concentration in Information assurance and security

VO.... Since when have you been processing this?
Me... April.

VO.... You didn't state why you are here in April? I can see you were going for a graduation ceremony
Me.... Yes it was my cousins graduation in Texas... I had some time off work and I wanted to use that opportunity to see a couple of schools over there before making my decision on which schools to go for.

VO... Where do you work?
Me...I have a contract job with NNPC Ibadan depot and I do so so so and so
How about putting it simply that you have a job with NNPC. This fact is non controvertible and would have indicated a stronger economic tie, rather than mentioning "contract job". Sometimes people give out too much information that only serve to hurt their chances. You were easily denied for lacking home ties.

VO.... How long you been working there?
Me.... Stated it

VO... You married?
Me... Yes

VO... Any kids?
Me.... No

VO... Sorry we can't bla bla bla.

My GTA was not even considered
The entire room became cloudy to me�

I have been trying to see if I can get an expedited appointment but I cant find it on my page. What's going on pls??
Nothing is going on. You will need to schedule an appointment before applying for an expedited process. Do not let the experience of the past deter you. Visa decisions are largely made on the merits of your current application only if you've not given yourself away in your past outing(s).

You must have misread him- he said "most schools will require..." not "all schools" and I can attest to that. There would be a few exceptions.
