I think the accelerated masters program in the US is 5yrs, and not 4.

Good morning Zino,
Thanks for your help and support to this.
Please help me clarify this in bracket (do you mean if he goes for SAT he could get into an integrated Masters in Engineering (M.Eng) straight with waec and earn a Masters degree in Engineering in 4years instead of spending 5years.)
The Master degree your are referring to is it not a second degree. He is still an undergraduate student 100level here. And it's when one finished his degree course for 4yrs/5yrs that he/she can go for a Master degree.
I am not clear with it,pls don't mind me o, kindly throw more light, weither its first degree you are mentioning, as you are saying Master degree. What he is doing is Mechanical engineering. Thanks a lot

If you have been admitted to Virginia Tech for Summer or Fall, or you a current student of the School, please, let's connect. Thanks as I anticipate your response.

Hi all,

If you’ll be attending Western Illinois University (WIU) from Fall 2022, let’s connect. Send a mail and you’ll be added to our WhatsApp group.

Since the VO was kind enough to tell you that the issue was one of weak home ties, why are you still insistent in your belief that the problem was one of funding?

Svelte98:
Hi there! Congrats on your admission and funding.

To my knowledge, an academic session in USA is usually 9 months: from August to May (4.5 months for Fall and Spring semester each), while the Summer break (between June to early August) is 3 months.

Schools aren't usually in session during Summer, because technically summer is a break period, hence that 3 months is not included in the I-20.
That's why your I-20 shows 9 months.

For the second question, you can select a visa date now then towards June 22nd you can try requesting for an EA. That's my opinion/advice.

I hope it helps.

If you don't mind me asking please, what school and course did you get the GTA funding for?

Jacknn:


It seems you guys are yet to understand this US hustle..he's hundred percent right..forget all this home ties and all. If u have a fully funded scholarship,the rest is history provided u answer all questions correctly.. if it's not a fully funded scholarship,ur chances are 50/50 or even 20/80.. so my dear, hustle for a fully funded and the whole scenero will change definitely. VOs hate deficit

I emailed you bro. I got admission into a program there. Did you get funding and what’s your program?

drbrayam:
kindly check your mail, just replied

zellfoxx:
Since you’ll be resuming this Fall, I think it’s a bit early to even apply for EA as it’s still well over 60 days before Fall resumption. Nevertheless, what’s done is done.

1. No harm in doing both in my opinion.

2. Just once per MRV fee payment.

Hello gurus,

Pls assist me, it's possible this question has been asked and answered, pls pardon if it has Biko.

With the current Incessant ASUU strike, my son gained admission last year to UNN Chemical engineering, his Waec is very much good.
I want him to look for University he can apply to for scholarship either fully funded or half or none.

I made an enquiry to the proprietor of the lesson he was attending before he gained admission if they have any particular plan in place for such undergraduate that are at home as a result of the Strike, he said no. But
he suggested foreign Exams like SAT.
To study in the US or Canada.
Please advise me on which of these listed he should write ( (SAT is 65k, IELTS is 80k , TOEFL is 120k)

Thanking you very much

I have been admitted to the university of Alabama and kent state university phd computer science programs for fall 2022 but none of them have offered me funding. Please can anyone advise me on how to go about securing funding from these schools?

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Good day I would like to ask some questions:

1. Can a waec result with 6As and 3 Bs with a combined SAT result of 1200 get me a full ride. Also what do they mean exactly by family ties
2.. Must I send my waec result to an evaluation organization like wes. Can the University not evaluate it themselves?
3. How do I pay for sevis fee and MRV.
4. How to dress to the visa interview(casual,lormal.).

Did you write GRE?

mhizzcherry:

My little answer to the best of my knowledge.

1. In some schools, it would get you a full ride (Tuition waiver with stipends) while in others half ride (Tuition waiver only). Others might offer percentage scholarship that would not even cover your tuition.

My little advise is to contact the different universities you have interest in. Check for the undergraduate academic contact person or coordinator, and email him (her) tabling your SAT score with WAEC result. Hopefully, he will be in better position to advice you. Read between lines from their replies, and pick up the schools which offers the best possibility of securing one. Spread your options

2. Some universities have in-house evaluation while others don't have, but depends solely on external evaluation companies under NACES.

3. First thing first. Secure admission and full funding. That two stages are nothing. Few Nairalanders can help you make the payment (SIVES) while you transfer the naira equivalent to them.

4. Your choice. Generally, smart casual, professional or normal is okay. Try and make sure that the colours rhyme. Don't be like some that wear flip-on (slippers), or rioting colour trousers (multi-colour, ripped apart jeans) or simple body fitted polo ( as if they are going on most handsome men audition, or to seduce all the females working in the embassy)

I hope, I have been able to clear all your doubts regarding to your various questions.

NB: I'm not aiming for undergraduate program o

Apply with the 304 score. Your GRE isn't the only thing that is assessed on your application. You have a good GPA. What you need is to get very strong recommendation letters (not the typical ones written by most lecturers). The recommendation letters should be personal and give examples of attributes that are stated in the letter. I can send you a sample of a strong engineering recommendation letter if you need one. Additional, have a well written personal statement that clearly outlines your research interest(s). If you have any publication, it can further strengthen your application. But if you don't have any, it wouldn't harm you either. I have a friend who had a WES evaluated GPA of 3.11 and a GRE score of 294 who got admitted to the chemical engineering masters program at the University of North Dakota with full tuition waiver and a graduate research assistantship for Spring 2022 (he got his visa yesterday). He had very strong recommendation letters and a well written personal statement that strengthened his application.
