Hello guys. Great work you guys are doing here.
I am a high school student, would write WAEC in May.
I am interested in the MCF scholarship and would like to know what exams I would
need to write apart from WAEC.
What scores should I target? Also, what other requirements would bolster my
chances of securing the scholarship?

[b]Is 2017 fall achievable for me, considering time required to prepare for and write
exams like SAT and TOEFL?
[/b]I am looking at ASU, Duke, Michigan State, McGill, Toronto, UCT, University of Pretoria and UBC.
[b]Is there a limit to the number of schools I can apply to? [/b]I am seeking for a Biology Undergraduate program

Thank you guys and I would appreciate any good responses I get.

That's a lot of questions there. *wink*
Your high school results and WAEC should be wonderful, your SAT scores should be good enough to get you admitted to the respective schools of interest, your extra curricular activities also very important (leadership positions, community service, etc), TOEFL can be waived for some schools (you'd have to check with your schools of interest), Canadian schools hardly require SAT nor TOEFL, just WAEC and transcript.

By the way, we're still applicants and not yet beneficiaries of the scholarship yet, although we're still hopeful and full of expectations as we await for the shortlisting of this year's awardees by latest April.
Good luck.

START Dudu osun or any good exfoliating soap, for a month. To exfoliate those dead layers of your skin.
Get good cream and soap. Any brand; Olay, dove, nivea, palmers etc.
Use morning and night.
Avoid sun or get a sunscreen to cover your skin anytime you know u will stay under d sun for too long.
Acknowledged! Thanks

Lol. Let's tell ourselves the truth. To have a smooth and fair face, you must tone you skin a lil bit. I use to be as dark as charcoal until i started toning without even knowing it and am happy with the outcome. Skin toning is not as bad as people paint it .
Really, Would you mind sharing? When you stopped you didn't get a backlash reaction — sort of? How did you go about it....some clues pls...

dulux07:
Stay away from toning/bleaching lotions, cos at first u will like the outcome, but sooner or later u may regret ever using them.

So a whitening/exfoliating soap and lotion will do.
OK.
"Whitening/Exfoliation soaps and lotion"
But I don't think I know any by name. Examples, please?

FashionHelp, My Face Is Black. How Can I Become Lighter And Smooth Without Bleaching. by akagson(op): 12:43pm On Mar 07, 2016
So I have this black and unregular face.
I used to be fairer than this when I was younger. You know, due to the hard times and all the trekking under the sun for years coz of hustling, my face has become uglier and darker than it supposed to be. At least, areas like my thighs and belly are still chocolate-like in color (even though I know they are also affected somehow), but my face is just BLACK!

Anytime I'm walking on the street with my sister who is very fair in complexion, people often give us this look like "who's this pretty babe walking with this ugly piece of shiit"

Abeg, Nairaland people, what do I do? I'm not the cosmetic kind of guy so I know totally nothing about creams and the rest. As a matter of fact, I've not applied any cream to my face in years. Na vaseline things. Just as I'm trying to add some weight to my skinny looking self, I'd also love to become finer for face. I need a total face and body overhaul.

What are the creams to do the magic? What are the herbs? Abeg, just helep me with suggestions. I no wan bleach oh! And please, if you're just here to market your fake products to me, just stay away.
I only need confirmed and tested ways to look less of an "ojuju" and more of a fresh 20s male ready to mingle.

In addition to cleaning, try and get a technician to re-apply thermal compound between the heat sink and the processor. most technicians may not know what I talking of as "thermal compound" but it is a grey compound sold in syringes. Works wonders for cooling
Thanks for the info. But what is the local name they know it with? I mean, since its something that they sell, they must have a name for it. You have any idea what it's called locally?

Yes. Couple of questions were right out of the app form .
And you answered them just as it appeared on your app form? By your judgement, did you perform well on the interview? Do you think your performance on the interview affected the final scholarship decision? How many interviewers was speaking with you and how long did it last?

MCF waitlist is just like admissions waitlist. If other MCFSP awardees choose to enroll in other colleges, selected students from the waitlist will will get the scholarship.

There were pretty much standard questions on the interview pertaining to my Berkeley admission and MCF application. Questions like Your favorite school activity, ways you can make an impact in the society...
Where those questions not the same questions contained in the Berkeley MCFS application form ?

Yea. I did. I got in, but got waitlisted for MCF, unfortunately.
Got wait listed? What does that actually mean?
BTW, can you tell us the nature of the interview — what they ask, what your responses were, your advice to others, etc.
