Thanks guys for your contribution, I just told my mom about the sat and she said she will pay☺️, but will two months be enough time to prepare?

there’s no duration of time that would be enough only you can answer that yourself
You know yourself and your capacity you are the one writing the exams

Toefl is more expensive than SAT. SAT cost about 55K if you register yourself. Toefl doesn't cost less than 80k; Besides, toefl doesn't improve your chances of admission.
I believe you already know that fact. It could be you have phobia for math. you are trying to avoid math. It's ok. You have known the requirement; you need to face it. Your Waec is nice. Just conquer SAT! Then, You'll have a good number of schools that will give scholarship. SAT is key to Berea College admission. Sometimes, the school consider IELTS. Don't change the admission requirement to suite you.

Teecee18th:


You misunderstood me, the school does not require sat, the only reason I wanted to take the sat exam was to maximize my chances of admission, not for funding, I'm trying to minimize my expenses to lessen the burden a little for my mom( she already agreed to pay for my toefl, don't want to stress her with sat), my dad has the money but just won't support unless he sees I have been granted admission or visa ( which they probably won't give me without sat), so my plan is to get admitted first then inform him about it so he can pay the necessary visa application fees and my flight ticket, I'm just confused, I will think about it tho, thanks

Good day everyone,

Got into the US through Seattle airport. From where i moved to my destination. Only to discover that one of my bags (a ghana must go bag, properly wrapped with a cellophane) missing. I contacted the airline. And was told that it is with the US custom and boàrder protection. It's been 4 days and they are yet to release it.

Please, who has experienced such type of thing before? How long did it take them to release it.

I only have my shoes, toiletries, cloths and a textbook inside the bag.

Dayoaf:
Please guys how do I answer the question
What are your study plans?

Abeg oooh somebody

Two months is enough. Register for the SAT coming up in OCT. send me a pm. I'll recommend some materials for you. I'll give you some.

Lol, firstly, yeah it's true I don't like math, but that wasn't the reason I didn't want to take it, which I have made clear already, and secondly I'm not changing any admission requirements, Berea college does not require sat, it's test optional, people have entered without taking sat, a girl in this forum got in too without sat.... So, sat is not COMPULSORY for admission, get your facts straight

Thanks alot, I will do just that.

Reading your transcript, the bolded is where I think you lost it. I think if there is a gap between the year you got out high school and university admission, a convincing explanation is needed to scale this hurdle.

It is expected that you go to university after high school. Venturing into a side show For several years after high school makes it seem you either couldn’t get Pass jamb into a Nigerian University or your folks couldn’t afford to get you into a tertiary school here.

This is my gut feeling; I could be wrong.

I don't think you will have any problem. Have no fear. You already have your connecting flight ticket to MA so that's fine.

Good day house.
I have been waiting for reply from the Lagos embassy for EA since 3weeks now and my school will resume 23rd of august. Any suggestions on what I can do ?.

Please who has any idea on how to pay school fees from here in Nigeria....

I understand lots of guys are having difficulties in paying app fee. It was waived when I was applying. However, I do not see this as an issue. Mail the international admissions office, I'm sure they would find a way out.

Toriah789:

I think you can use Form-A (if that still applies) so make enquiries at your current Nigerian bank. If you know someone in the US they can also make payment on your behalf. It's advised to not pay school fees until you get your visa unless your school requires deposit to issue your I-20.

Enick:
A friend of mine wants to find out his chance of getting a study visa.

He was denied a visiting visa in 2017.

Reapplied again for visiting visa last year(Jan 2020) but the appointment was canceled due to covid and has never tried to secure an appointment again.

And he currently has a petition. His elder brother in the US submits an i-130 alien petition for him early this January 2021.


He intends to go for a master's program in any STEM course although he completed his Bachelor of Science program in Nigeria 10years ago.

This is definitely a big red flag. I'm not saying it's impossible to get a study visa but ehm your friend will have a lot of convincing to do to the VO.

Possible recommendation lies between withdrawing the I-130 petition and hopefully that doesn't count against him when he goes for F-1 visa interview or just wait till he finally get his I-130 petition approval which probably will take some years. If he really wants to study, he should also consider other countries with good STEM course.

Anyone please? Quite urgent
