You should have include your son. You son would have serve as a strong home tie.

The V.O knew your age is beyond B.sc, knowing fully well that you might have done a first degree here in nigeria.

I will advise you to re&apply again and add your son.

Justwise over to you sir.

Based on this event, are there specific age ranges for various degree levels in the US? If yes, kindly state them. Thanks.

While this might be relative, generally, a highly ranked school should fall amongst the Grade A schools, say: A+, A & A-.
They are usually in the Top 30 - 50schools in the US.
Use usnews.com and msinus.com to confirm these categories.

Please Elders, if a school falls within the ranks 150 - 200, is this a red flag in any form?

Do ETSU waive TOEFL for Nigeria applicant's? It seems they demand TOEFL.
I used my IELTS general. Not sure it is was mandated but submitted it all the same. Hoods college Maryland didnet require English tests or GRE, you could look he up

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by kilankoazeez: 1:24pm On Apr 06, 2020
To best answer your question I think you should state such schools here, so people can help verify, but if you want to do the research on your own, google extensively about such schools and verify their rankings from different sources before you can conclude. Although, we have schools that the VOs in Nigeria can't give you visa for (i.e Lincoln University or so). I hope you understand my point.

Guys,
I'm looking to start free GRE meetup sessions @Ikorodu, Lagos for 2020 applicants. Anyone interested should send a direct message. Once the venue capacity is reached, then no more. Let us do this together.

Hello. Is this GRE session active? I stay around Ikorodu, Lagos, and I'm interested. Thanks.

Hi. You're welcome. To be sincere, I might not be able to tell whether it will result to a higher or lesser version of the estimated figure. But there's room for optimism.

Honestly, I don't really know how they evaluate/convert 5-point gpa to 4-point. Let's hope for the best.

No, they shouldn't. Meanwhile, there are more than 1000 accredited schools in the US. Use usnews.com to verify.

What you should know is that B is not just B and A is not just A when it comes to the American scale. I had lots of Bs as an undergrad (My Bs were really close to A), they count as B+ or A- when converted to American scale. Also, When I didn't do well, I really didn't do well. couple of E and D here and there might actually help during conversion cos it becomes C or C+, but if you have lots of Cs and few As on your transcript, by the time the conversion is done, it wouldn't really increase as much.

Not a single one of these schools is a red flag, all of them here are green flags (lol). If you are targeting any of these, you are good to go!

It depends on the grades on each of your courses, for example if you had 0point in a course, wes will automatically remove it during official evaluation and moreover, the last 2 years of your transcript is mostly evaluated (I stand to be corrected) so it's sometimes differ to what you are expecting, but in the long run, Wes is very good for folks with very low cgpa, there's a kind of boost it adds(other people that have done it can testify).

I want to apply for an undergraduate transfer course program due to my previous degree in Biotechnology or nursing for fall term....I currently have my own student transcript and previous program certs is there any school i can apply without directing my school should send documents to them as schools are on holiday?

I did the transfer stuffs too cos my first degree was in psychology and I have my I-20 already, so from experience I can tell you , you have to get your transcripts evaluated except the school waived it for you which am not sure they will but you can always send a mail to them to confirm
