Are you going to Mississippi State University?

I finished from FUTA ,estate management to be precise with a 2.41 2nd class lower grade. I need advice on how best I can further in the USA with this grade.

Hi guys

For undergraduate studies, I understand that it is understandable to evaluate transcripts. Several times on the thread, people have talked about evaluating WAEC results using WES

I would like to ask,
1. How long does it take WES to evaluate the WAEC result?
2. Can a GCE (which you did not write in your high school) result be evaluated?
3. Can just the combo of Evaluated WES result, TOEFL and SAT be used to gain admission into US schools?

Anticipating your responses. Thanks

1. No GRE / Gmat for MBA?, you sound like an unserious student looking for cheap admission.


2. Choosing Franklin University (unranked) over northeastern University with a 40 tie rank? ( check my attachment). You sounded more unserious.

If you are a Nigerian V.O . And someone told you he chose odududwa University in ife over covenant University in Ota (both private university),

How would your reaction be?,

If truely northeastern gave you admission. Pls reschedule your interview and accept that of northeastern University. You have a better chance with it than Franklin.

My own opinion, I may be wrong though.

I finished from FUTA ,estate management to be precise with a 2.41 2nd class lower grade. I need advice on how best I can further in the USA with this grade.

The first step is to convert your GPA to US standard using WES IGPA free online calculator and see what you get.Then,proceeds to check school requirements for your course.Check TOEFL/IELTS/PTE requirements and GRE requirements.

guys is it too late to apply for spring 2020

odayofunmi:
I finished from FUTA ,estate management to be precise with a 2.41 2nd class lower grade. I need advice on how best I can further in the USA with this grade.

2.41/5.0?,

1. Evaluate your cgpa to 4.0 using free wes calculator

2. Use for result to search from google on schools that accepts your "wes result" for your "desired masters course" in USA.

3. Put your personal or family funds together because you have a slim chance of getting funding with that grade. You may lucky for a partial funding if you have higher GRE test score

hammed71:
guys is it too late to apply for spring 2020

No. Some schools still accept applications until November. However, the only problem is with visa.

You have to wait to get admission,
You have to wait for I20 to arrive Nigeria,
You have to book visa appointment
And you might not be lucky to get a date before your resumption.



So, it's a risk. Try to submit applications. If admitted and was able to get I20 and interview date before your resumption, fine. If not, you can always defer your admission to the next term

hammed71:
guys is it too late to apply for spring 2020

Not really.Some school deadline is October 31st,some November 1st and some December 1st.So,it is not really late.

Before applying confirm the school deadline for priority funding if you are looking for funding.

Please what’s the deadline to submit Ds 160 Because I am always hearing 3 days before your interview
