Good day house

A GPA that is 3.79 on the scale of 5.0, will it be up to 3.0 on the scale of 4.0?

Thank you... but do you have names of schools that gives full funding for PhD in computer Engineering.

Brown2Green:


Focus on PhD if you want full funding.
For engineering Msc, Full Funding is like 2% in the US.
Else look at CS.

Yes, it should be. But to be sure, you may wanna use unofficial Wes GPA calculator. You can search via Google.

Hello everyone, to Jesus be my glory..lol...I finally have breathed a sigh of rest after being on AP for 38days..I had my interview on the 21st of June 2019, Status updated on 25th July 2019, Visa issued 29th July 2019. This has been the longest wait of my life people, I was floating and I thought out everything and anything possible, but in the end, it ended in praise.

Deficit on I-20 form is $5k
Full Grad Assistanship with stipend 16k
Personal funding $5.5k
Uncles SOA $44k.

My interview goes thus;
White lady, window 5, Abuja Embassy.

Me: Good morning.
VO: Good morning, pass me your i20 and passport.
Me: passed it.
VO: why are you going to the US?
Me: I'm going for my masters degree in community Health and preventive medicine at the Minnesota state university,Mankato.
VO: How did you learn about MNSU?
Me: I carried out a personal research about MNSU after I heard about the school at an Educational fair in Lagos and from an alumni of the school and their entry requirements matched my profile.

Next VO gave me a shocker..lol

VO:where is this your acquaintance?
Me: He got a job and is working in the US now after his program....I was like bobo who send you talk that one...
VO: I see...shaking her head..and typing furiously (in my mind I was like I dor enter one chance).
VO: Did u apply to other schools?
Me: I applied to two others: Tuskegee Uni, Alabama, Ohio state Uni, Columbus.
VO: How many admits?
ME: One from Tuskegee Uni.
VO: Did you write GRE?
ME: No, I wrote TOEFL.
VO: what was your score?
Me: 84
VO: I can see you have an assistanship, can I see a proof?
ME: Passes email proof.
VO: she reads out my duties and then said how are going to be tutoring with a poor TOEFL score ?we dont accept such scores here.What we accept here is 90 100 and above..( In my mind, I was like my fathers peepo)...lol
ME:I will be tutoring biology specifically and conducting workshops at the CAS.
VO: what will this course do for you?
Me: A masters degree in comm health from a recognised institution like MNSU in the US will undoubtedly increase my chances of being promoted to the Head position in the public health department of my organisation when I come back to Nigeria.Also, having being equipped with an indept knowledge in public health and with recent epidemiological tools/methodology, I will be able to secure gainful employment in Govt health institutions ( Federal or state) and NGO'S ( like the Renowed Benjamin Franklin Foundation) providing comprehensive Health care Services to reduce the health burden in epidemic and epidemic-prone communities in Nigeria.
VO: Are u married?
ME: No, I am single.
VO: who will take care the deficit?
ME: I have a graduate assistanship with full tuition waiver up to 9 credits and My uncle is cathering for the deficit. I also have my personal savings too.
VO: Can I see your statement??
Me Passed it and she perused it thoroughly.
VO:What does your uncle do?
Me: He owns a Block producing factory and into transportation.
VO:Can I see your uncles statement.
ME:Passed it.
VO: She kept typing...and returned my I-20 and my statement and then gave me the white paper and said Congratulations, I will be approving your Visa but I will have to place you on AP to verify your documents, if found to be fraudulent, u will be banned.Do u wish to withdraw it?
Me: No.
She then was talking about having my I-20 at POE, by then I don share the grace.lol...

Special Thanks to Brown2green, shawarma(the queen whose epistles I love to read) fairheart, Time2win, Lagosismyhome etal for your contributions on NL platform. Also to those who were a source of encouragement to me through the waiting times..Justabama, Arobim94, acebolted, barrlabs975.etal...God bless you all and your new journeys.God bless nairaland

nice info

There are tons of schools that give full funding for you intending program. However, schools that fit Mr. A's profile may not be suitable for Mrs. B's profile. So, you may need to do a comprehensive search and note schools that are suitable for your profile. Usnews.com, gradcafe, quora.com will be good starting points

Pls be sure you really want to do a PhD, not because of full funding but because you have passion for research. Funding for MS Engineering isn't easy, but I'd suggest you look at schools like Louisiana State University (and other "state universities". Most importantly, always reach out to the Program Coordinators and enquire about assistantships available for MS students.

Asking for a friend; do you guys know any cheap flight website? Please, any suggestion will be appreciated...

Once you get admitted for a Doctorate program, you'll most likely be automatically funded.

Not always so. Michigan Tech. University is very stingy, they normally start funding you after a semester or two even at PhD level.

When is this Administrative processing going to end? I was placed on AP since 23rd July. I have 23 days to resume class.My passport status has also changed from "passport still with the embassy" to "There is no status update for the passport number submitted" since 1st August. Please house, what does the new status mean?

They are still working on it. so many passed through same stage, some lasted two months and at the end it turned to issued and they got their passport. just remove your mind from it to avoid over thinking, I know its not easy being on AP. they are also aware that school is resuming soon, just relax cos only them know what they are checking.

Good day, please I'll like to know, do American schools offer admission for January, like other countries?

Most of the ones I've checked only have fall admission, and to the best of my knowledge, fall is around September, hence I'll like to know, is it a general issue with them, not to have January admission?

UzzyBreeze:

there is little or no interview info for undergraduate F1 on this forum #sad

My flight itinery is abj-istanbul-jfk-newark-greenville, south Carolina.
1. Will the change in airport from JFK to Newark be handled by the airline?
2. Is there a risk in transiting through JFK?

Istanbul Ataturk airport is a very beautiful airport, make sure u take some pictures ooooo

Possibly by domestic airlines not really sure.

There is no risk passing through JFK as long as u answer correctly those simple questions from the CBP. Your i-20 and passport u should be with u . Don't assist anyone u don't know with luggages oooo. U have many stop over, many bags and luggages might make the journey more stress.

Safe journey

1. Be smart and post your questions or proposed transcript for review here.
2. Go to EducationUSA sessions at the Lagos Consulate.

Baba, examples of the simple questions biko?

This is not very true.. There are many students on self funds pursuing a PhD even in very top schools.. Some Chinese and Indians don't care as far as they can get loan or support to study in America. For many of them, US is their heaven on earth. Please go to gradcafe and see!!

yeah, I even have like 5 unfunded PhD admit. It's doesn't always come with funding.

Time2win:

.

Most people always think, PhD admissions must come with funding. I had 3 to 4 PhD admissions without funding too ooo.

amb001:


Baba, examples of the simple questions biko?

Do u have family in USA?
Which state is u school located?
Have u paid ur tuition fees?
Are u a first timer in USA or a returning student?
Do u have ticket to ur final destination?
Are u visiting or coming as a student?

The questions go on like that.....most CBP should be ok with 2 or 3 questions...
