Hello All,

I can see people having problems with how to compress file(s) like PDF. Use the link below to do this;

.

geodemainguy:
I would love to send the DRAGNET past questions and answers to the above listed mail address on their 3 key tests: Numerical, Abstract and Verbal reasoning. But the challenge here is that each of them carries huge storage size such as 10mb, 9mb and 4mb respectively, though I bought it 2,000# from online, I will only send to two people.

How much you go charge me per CDN dollar?

sirRiddy:
Hi guys,
if anyone wants to pay fees like SEVIS and application fees, you can send me a pm.
I will be willing to deal at 420 Naira to a Dollar.
Good luck to those applying for 2017 Spring and Fall admissions.

No jokes. Watchout. I will start this in FALL 2018. This will be my own way of getting back to my dear country Nigeria. I know how easy it is to pay for GRE, TOEL, application fee for graduate studies, Sevis and visa fee.

It is easy mehn

Battywonder:
I dey track U oo. I don book space for PhD fall 2019. Wish U success in ur applications.

There will be calls for applications. Then get ready because many applications will be on the pool and I will then roll and pay one like Baba Ijebu

lionlee216:
I don book for PhD fall 2019

Hello,

Someone should just say I am offering a free application fee to a person on this thread. Calls for applications.

I will be waiting to see this one day on this thread. I will pay for two future applicants for free.

Oya make we start now

Bros, I said email address not through mail.

GboyegaD:
I don't think it is a nice idea to go by route one. I have a friend post hia transcript to my office however, it was never delivered to me and my grad program admin said it is likely because it is a transcript.

There is no irrefutable evidence that this guy is an AGENT.

Haustraliah:
I will love you guys to check Haustraliah on Nairaland, and you will realise that I have been following this thread minimum over three to four years, it cost me nothing to keep silent after having my trv, I kept posting even when in Canada, What I want u to understand is that I got bounty of experience about how this people treat an applicantion, some people say am an agent, because am saying the truth to stop criticising people. check my profile once again.
I write free SOP for people, guide them as well.
I have assisted over 8 of my family members to Canada, all posted on this same thread. gone are the days of Amefrica Tinuoala etc, now some people can come here and now call me an Agent, well am grateful to this thread because I knew all what I know here, and myself, spouse, and family members benefited from it.
Why I criticised her was that I don't want some people to fall on her trap, like using same account balance, it's better to lodge sudden amount of money to ur account and u explain why it's there , probably education Grant. etc.
1.2 million is too small except she uses any other means of sponsorship.
Am so sorry to write the this may be my last post on this thread as I think am done here, I may not reply most people.
Four years on travel to Canada no be small.
Thank u all
wish you good luck.

Here are the ways you can get your transcript;

1. Ask a nairalander who has an official email (his/her university email address(es) e.g lastname.firstname@ucalgary.ca). When filling your application for transcript form, put this email in the section of the email address you want them to send this transcript to. Follow up with the person on nairaland, whatsapp, email. The person will then tell you if s/he has receive your transcript or not. if the person receive am, s/he will then send it to you. This is how some people here got their transcript

2. Login to your postgraduate portal at the SPGS Unilag site. Check your dashboard, download your transcript from there. The disadvantage (2) has is that your score will appear not the grade whereas (1) will just include only your grade. E.g, if you have 70 in a course, it might be calculated as B+ (I may be wrong) but if they just include A in a course without the score, it will be calculated as A. Please, go with option (1)

Success ahead in your application for graduate studies.


NB: Look for atleast two people that has this email. Ask the big sis Lagosismyhome, Walspring, Happday, Justwise

**cheers**

Good day house,

Please i need an urgent help here...i am applying for phd program in about 5 schools, and as you know, i will need to attach my transcripts in the online applications, i had my MSc from Unilag, and now they are refusing to send me a copy, saying they only send to institutions and organizations...

i humbly need an way out from those of you that has gone through this process on what to do ASAP.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hello,

I got this message from my preferred supervisor. What do you guys think about the message. Find below the message;

@Lagosismyhome @happyday @Walspring

Thanks.If you are interested in working with me, I would advise that you apply to the program through the Mathematics and Statistics Department and make clear that you wish to work with me on biostatistics/infectious disease methodology.

 I cannot, of course, promise you a position in my group. This is partly because it is not my decision alone – the Department makes the final decision about whether entry to a program is allowed or not — and also I would have to offer positions to the best applications that come in. However, your CV/background does look impressive and I could certainly see you fitting in with my group.In terms of potential projects, there are numerous things you could work on. For example, I have projects involving infectious disease modelling, implementing computational algorithms for fitting these models to data. I also have a project looking at using similar models to model fire spread.

 Alternatively, there will likely be chances to analyse data sets using high-level, but less computational, statistical techniques. for example, using statistical/machine learning tools such as random forests.

 It's hard to predict what the project would actually look like since research probably wouldn't start for 18 months from now given that as an MSc student you would be doing courses for the first two semesters. Most of my students I give a choice of possible projects near the time, and let them choose. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

I disgree with you bro. So, you advice him to keep working for someone else's while he put his own future on hold?

worry359:
Think, Think, Think!
You have a job at the moment, is that stable?
If you spend one or two years in USA will you get a better job when you return?
Will you get a job at all?
Think carefully before walking away from an existing good job for the possibility of something in the future.

The interview was great. The interview was for the position for a Research Assistant, RA in her LAB. I didn't know if I impress her tho. I talk weti I know for her research and was asking questions on the courses I have done, my research experience and why I wanna study abroad. She ended it with do you have any questions for me and I asked some questions

Many thanks to Lagosismyhome and @happyday. Those guys are gurus. I doff my cap for them.

She said she will review my application and get back to me asap and I ended the call.

I then send her a thank you note for the phone interview.

For those who are having problems preparing or just need some more motivation, i could create a whatsapp group, I'm not writing the gre for now, but I've gone through some resources and truthfully, one should be able to score 320+ easily. Tho i plan to score 340 when its my time to write it, i may be able to help folk out...

The first time i tried any gre Quant question, i had about 19 over 20.. The quants are the best bet for scoring high generally.

Personally i don't like verbal stuff s but thankfully, the gre has a standard which can be learned.

It would really be nice conversing with folks here on a chat group cos everyone has a common goal.

Goodluck to you all...

Me I'm still stuck trying to gather more experience as a masters in software engineering no be child's play

Thanks big sis. Check your email.

LagosismyHome:
Send me a pm...and i forward what i advice someone else. That will save me from typing.

Hello,

I got an email from my preferred/proposed supervisor saying; would you please give me a call some time in the following couple days? Then, I agreed we should talk tomorrow say 9:30am GMT (-6).

Please, what should I expect? Looking forward to seeing a response from you all.

cc @Lagosismyhome @happyday @Walspring and other gurus

Alright.Thanks big sis

LagosismyHome:
Offcourse but the date should be within the last 3 to 6 months

Hello Everyone,

Can I use the SOA used during admission process for visa interview?

Please add ajibade.kehinde@yahoo.com to the FB page

seeker88:
Boss! Thanks for the detailed solution.

I thought that the Prob that the selected person is a male born before 1960 should be = 0.28*11 since it appears d selection was made from d pool of 11 males. Or could my interpretation of d question be wrong.

I also posted this same question on d Facebook group and someone else interpreted d same way I did.

However, the answer from ETS is 4, a bit confusing though...
Once again, thanks for this valuable contribution...

Please add 07086934446 on WhatsApp gropu and ajibade.kehinde@yahoo.com on Facebook group. Thanks

battoyyeb:

amofum:
So after almost one full year of following this thread, I get to post my own experience.

Some 2 months ago, the trend of the naira- precipitous decline- forced me to finally schedule a date for the GRE test at #350. On that day, I made sure I chose the farthest date available-october 3rd, 2016- because although I had covered every material my practice scores were abysmal as it could get V155-158 Q150-158 for schools I had in mind. I was ready for a retest even before the test. My you I didn't have one naira on me again. I just dey sing small doctor song (aja n'sare, owo jona). Everyone on the whatsapp group kept encouraging me, I don't know each of them's monikers on nl however, ponpon was like a virtual GRE father to me.

Finally, two months deprecated into one month into 3 weeks till we got to two weeks. My practise score still didn't improve, I felt like postponing my test date. I couldn't tell anyone, I was constantly pusillanimous. Alas, I took ill on Tuesday of that week. I Just told myself THIS IS IT. However, ponpon once again encourage me, he was over empathetic; he told me he also took ill before his test. I couldn't read again, so I tried powerprep test 2 for confidence and wow. It took away the last shard of confidence left in me. I stared at the system as it showed me V156 Q152. I continued into reviewing the quant questions I failed. When I saw them I just sighed, I was destined to fail.

That week ran as fast as it could, I was just reviewing my mistakes. Lo! We were in my final one week, I still hadn't score x=320 on any practice test (even kaplan). I decided to just write sha sha. Thus on sunday 2nd of October, I migrated to Ojota, got a cheap guest house to pass the night no more reading. So I won't be late for my test, I stay around Iyana-Iba, I didn't want to add any risk to my state of 'unpreparedness'.

That night was very long but, soon it was 5am anxiety add woken me up. I stayed in my room till 7am. I proceeded to have breakfast and by 8:45am, I was en-route JKK house. At something around 9:15am I was in the compound and it felt awkward. I seemed to be the youngest there, and. The only one who didn't come with books. Yepa!!! I don die, should I have continued with 5lb till yesterday or this morning? Would it have helped? The questions flew in like they were in an 100m sprint contest with Mr. Bolt. Within 5mins I was already feeling headaches.

So much getting there early, I tried to keep my mind relax by chat with my GRE fam on whatsapp, ponpon was helpful again. 10am the capturing/accreditation had started and by 11ami was at workstation 20b at ETC. The journey was bout to start. I got an issue on leader made by demands; I interpreted it as leaders being made or born. I just did it somehow. Next came the argument it was on game sales and a tweak in strategy, I just lacerated the thing.

After the appetizers came the main course, as I had prayed for, I got verbal first thus my experimental would be verbal. This first section, I did my best, can't say it was easy. Then came the quant and when I got to number 20, I knew i needed around 13 more right questions to be guaranteed of 160 it was blessed. I then took my 10mins break. The next verbal felt like it was written in japanese, I just couldn't understand why it was showing on my screen. In my mind I just pondered, if ETS doesn't want me to pass they should just tell me why must they go through this route? Next came the quant and I felt ok this is the time to show them I can get the 165 like topii. Gbam! Gboom! Gbish! Na so the questions attack me. Jesu mi ooooo!!! My money is going. I tried my best, got to number 15 and time went off. I just sank back into my chair. I turn left and right people were already reporting scores. Someone got 316 and she was smiling. One section to go and I was praying for 310. The last section was verbal again, I just did it with less conviction, and got to the end b4 the 26mins mark. I smiled to myself, I had set a new personal best in stupidity.

It was time to report scores, I wanted to but, my spirit was weak. Finally, the body and the spirit reach a compromise, I reported the scores. Then came that long 3 seconds, alas my score was here. What I saw made me stare at the screen for another 60seconds then out of shock I signalled to the proctor, as he approached I realised I really didn't have anything to tell him. The screen showed Verbal:160 Quant:161. I was happy, I decided to send it to 3 safe schools and one good school. Kent State, Oklahoma State, Florida Inst of Tech and Uni of Illinois-urbana.

I walked out of the centre and still couldn't understand if those were really my scores. Shout out to you all on nl who regularly posted tips and material God bless. Special rugged shout out to ponpon and the family on whatsapp, if I were to choose people to go on the journey with all over. I probably choose you guys x! Times where 20<x.

Next phase serious application.

My current profile:
BSc: 3.01/4.00
MSc: 3.8/4.00
GRE: 321
Intended programs: Phd I/O psychology or PhD Management (HRM) or PhD Business (HRM) or PhD Labor and Employment Relations.

I pray we all make it to our dream institutions, Fall 2017 application has started in earnest.

Chai, what can he/she do to work in the state?

LagosismyHome:
The visa is somewhat limiting.... The F2 can stay legally in america and go in and out as long as the F1 is valid ...however F2 is not allowed to work or attend school full time

Many thanks for taking your time to explain this to me. Is the dependant(s) allow to work while someone is on F1 visa?

LagosismyHome:
Its very normal for married couple to apply together ... The main applicant going to school will be F1 and dependants F2.
