I didn’t get what he said, please explain
what he was trying to say was that, you can only pay your sevis/application fee with the help of someone in the USA and that person can do it through western union as you can not send from Nigeria. Hope this help. Cheers.

Here is my profile.
Bachelor's degree in Chemistry
CGPA of 4.4 out of 5
No GRE
No TOEFL
I'm looking to apply for Spring 2022, is it too late to start preparations now?

You have a very good GPA. If you really want to applu for spring it is not too late if you can kickstart everything from this minute.

Not having a GRE score has already ruled you out of some schools. Have you evlauated your transcript with WES? If no, this has already ruled you out of some schools.

If you have your transcript with you, you can start applying to schools. If you don’t have it, quickly request for it from your undergraduate school.

Best wishes.

I agree with you �!!!!

I was surprised reading that too. There are at least five schools I know that are still accepting applications.

In fact, Oregon University, with full funding, will begin receiving applications for Fall by September 22.

Bowling University will be available in September. West Virginia University is still available.

Arkansas State University, not the public one, just started this month.

I think if the person can surf the Internet, he'll know that nothing is OVER!!!

3rd attempt.

*Visa Interview Transcript:*
*Location: Abuja*
*School: University of New Hampshire*
*COA: 72k*
*GA: 58k*
*Deficit: 14k*
*Attempt: (3rd attempt )*
*Status* *VISA APPROVED*

V.O: Good morning

Me: Good morning, how are you today?

VO: Didn’t answer

Pass me your I20
Me: Pls have it. (Placed my hands for biometric)

V.O: You’re going to the University of New Hampshire to study business statistics

Me: I corrected her that it’s business analytics.

V.O: I can see you have an assistantship.

Me: Yes

V.O: What do you currently do?

Me: I work as the business intelligence lead at ***, where I collect sales and customer data and use that to create marketing strategy, better target our customers and improve business processes.

V. O: What are you going to do when you return from this program?

Me: I will return and take up the position of Director if Analytics. I already have a written commitment from my organization.

V.O: You mean ****?

Me: Yes ****

V.O: longest 90 seconds if my life typing and clicking. Then the white paper.



*Personal tip:*
If you’ve been refused before, use the comment box to your advantage. I talked about why I think I was refused (financial plan), then explain what has changed like gre, GA and how I will be working with an eccentric professor. So I think this is why I wasn’t asked much questions, cos I already answered some of them with that explanation. She was focused and impressed with the assistantship and she didn’t even asked about anything pertaining to financials. Plus I wore a suit (if you say you will come back to a management position, please dress like a manager).

Bonus points: If you haven’t, please watch Suit or Billions before interview, so you can start feeling like Harvey in front of the VO��


Thanks to everyone on this group. Fairheart, you’re just a blessing. My brother Kelvin messaged me in the midnight and told me he said a prayer for me, then I knew I will get it. I appreciate everyone.

Brother, .... I think **** sealed this deal for you. She really took note of ****; and that’s she asked you, “you mean ****?”

If your school granted you late resumption, print the email detailing that along with you or the letter that the school has issued to you to grant you late resumption following the interview.

nues012:
Pls I need a response.

My I-20 has resumption date of Aug 18 and I am going for interview on Aug 30. I hope taking I-20 of a backed date won’t affect my chance of being approved?

I have asked before but no one answered, pls do now.

Please i need advice. On my ds-160 form i put in Lagos as intended place for my interview, however i couldn’t find a suitable date in Lagos. I was able to find one in abuja though. I emailed them and and they said i can still use the DS-160 form, but i might have some delays. So should i just do a new ds-160 form to get a new confirmation code or i should stick with this one ?

Hi Guys, I really need your advice and imput and I am more than ready to do the needful. I want to start school in the US as early as possible -January if possible. I am currently in the US on a long vacation, I studied Estate Management for Bsc and graduated with a 2.6/5 cgpa cry which I am evaluating with WES currently, also I have a gre score of 331. I have 4 years post-nysc experience in real estate firm, the challenge is I really want a full scholarship as I am self funded. I Intend pursuing Masters in finance or business analytics or an Mba, but with my research I dicovered full scholarship on Mba is rare. I reached out to Howard University but learnt that they are switching there Msc Finance to an online course. Guys Nigeria is tired of me and the feeling is mutual....please advice abeggggg

Congrats on that GRE score but why your GPA pale in comparison? If you have years of work experience it can help but a GMAT equivalent score would have been better for the MBA.

Please I made a booking reservation on travelbeta for Qatar Airways to travel by Sept. 6th. I made a mistake on my middle name. I was told by travelbeta that I needed to rebook. Now the price has been doubled on the booking site. Please has anyone been this situation, can it be corrected if I visit the Qatar Airways office and kindly share any flight booking thread (I've search with no tangible result).

Hello. Looks like you’re in the science field and most likely looking to do research since you mentioned PI. No you don’t need to tell her to put in any words for you yet. I’d suggest you reach out to the new professor and indicate your research interest to him/her. You can also include in the mail that “Prof. xxxxx suggested we might be a good fit in terms of research.” Make sure you include your CV/Resume and undergraduate transcript if possible. Best.


Thanks a lot boss.

It is true. Do you need anyone to put you through again? I don’t think so. You already know all what you need to know. Just fill the form, upload necessary documents and have your recommenders to upload theirs. Lobatan
