You applied my school?
You better go for OPT to get industrial experience, after which (or halfway) you go for PhD.

chibertha:

How? And I don't even mean this disrespectfully. Did he grow up in the village? Does he watch only Yoruba and Igbo movies?

He should enroll in classes and take it again please...or just look for schools that don't ask students who come from English speaking countries to provide it....and tuck that score away. TOEFL is mostly handy for TA-ships sha ooooo, so I would advice he tries and ace it.

NightCyrax:


46 out of a possible 120? Damn!

I would suggest he rewrites it, but if he doesn't want to, please advise him never to submit it at all. A letter of English proficiency from his undergrad school might suffice in some cases.

Sisib15:
He should check for schools that waived English proficiency tests for Nigerians or he should retake the test because no school will accept that

bulespephilo:

Nothing. I haven't even accepted the offer. I have to renew my passport first.

You should know that PhD admission with full funding is very competitive regardless of the school or department. It is even higher in competitive schools. Did you get research experience and does it align with the current research in the program of your choice?

Another thing is connection.... I tell you solemnly. Especially if someone of high caliber well known to a prof. with grant recommends you strongly. It seals your entry definitely.

Davegabriel:
Hello everyone, please I want to know if changing school from the one you where denied with to a different school that is less expensive, will it affect my second visa application because the one I got accepted in is less expensive than the first university I used to apply for my first visa. But I have no valid I-20 now.

I agree with you in Total.
I have experienced it first hand in my current school.
I did it as back up plan.
My plan is to start when I get my GC.
So that I can work full time while doing it.

No chill

Zihno:



Even if he finds schools that will waive it for him, he should start attending English classes as this score is, for lack of a better term, shameful. Your brother cannot write or speak English. I’m certain he would be required to complete ESL classes if he is even admitted. 46 TOEFL score? Orishirishi.

Calm down.... Do well not to fall into shams that most men put beautiful young ladies in the name of GC.... Especially our fellow black men... If you get a PhD funded offer, do not hesitate... That's the sure route to EB2 NIW for those who are wise...

You seem to agree totally with everything I say lols.. Can either of us send a Pm?

The rate at which you guys are shooting for WVU is alarming. It makes it more competitive, but best of luck.
