Thanks mam, My WAEC has been evaluated to be 3.33 GPA. I have a 1510 SAT and some pretty decent EC. Do I stand a chance with that GPA? I would need nearly full funding. Or should I just save my money, not bother with Application/SAT Subjects and continue where I am.

You have a very good profile
Make sure to shoot your shot!

How long did it take for your WAEC to be evaluated and which agency did you use?

I'm from Unilag quantity surveying. I want to start all over in the states or Canada.

WES charges between $100 to $150

American universities are very expensive for Foreign students. State universities are still cheaper than private. If you can do 2 years at a state community college that transfers into the main Campus you will save $$$. If you can do an "exchange" program from a foreign university into the USA I think you play only the cost of what you would in your home country. As an in example in Germany university costs are really cheap. This exchange student pays German rates in the USA, which is almost nothing. Go to 4:35, although the entire video is good. She found out about it because Munich and Cincinnati are sister cities and she came when in High School. Her entire vlog is good.
