Bro, checked your post from part 10, where you able to get any sort of funding from St cloud?

k199192:
same school Bro. why did your admission decision take that long.?

modified: I think the timing is tight though. But you can give it a shot if you think you can beat the time. Is your i20 ready? If yes use eshipglobal to send it down, it takes a about 5 days. Before then, ask the school to tell you your sevis number and the school code. those are the info you need to fill your ds160 form and to book for the visa interview. When you get those info, quickly apply for your visa and pay for your sevis.

Hmm. This WES issue can raise one's blood pressure at times. It may take at least 2-3 weeks for the photocopies to reach your school for verification. You need to have a reliable contact at your school's exams and records office or registrar's office to follow up so they can confirm when it has arrived. WES doesn't send or receive verification via e-mails. They do hard copies and they may not use priority mailing service. I had similar experience.

I'm still on it. After speaking with one of their CSRs last Friday I was told to ask the schools for an alternative email address where they can resend it. I contacted the schools again and sent it to WES yesterday Monday and followed it up with a call, but I was told it will take 3 working days to review the email addresses and get back to me.
Were your documents for WES USA or WES Canada? If it's USA, then it seems their is an issue with WES USA mail delivery to Nigeria as it doesn't take this much time for WES Canada mail to get delivered..."my observation so far"

.....saw your post on USA visa part 12 thread, we'll get there by HIS grace

Adefolakemi:
Please i am in the same situation right now. How did you resolve this and how long did it take? Thanks

wykcool:
This post is couple of months old now.
How did you go about it then ?
I am currently in the same situation.
After paying $302 for WES to evaluate my transcripts, they informed me just on 17/07/2017 that they have sent verification request to my schools after a week of receiving my documents. I am aware that WES sometimes send email for schools that make use of that for verification) and regular hardcopy mail too.
Please from your experience, it takes how many days/weeks for the regular hardcopy mail from WES to get to the school in Nigeria? I need to know this so that I can know when to go and sit on their neck in my schools so that they can verify and reply WES on time as I'm having less than 3weeks deadline for the school I'm applying to to receive the evaluation report from WES.
Thank you in anticipation

Your GRE was the deal breaker. How badly do you want this?

With that weak GPA, if you could get at least 168 on your GRE Quant, and at least a 160 on your Verbal, you'll boost your odds of getting in. Again, if you want this badly enough, you'll prep for the GRE to get those scores.

FYI, schools don't care how many times you
take the test. Just put your best foot forward.



Cheers!

I think your CGPA is too low for MA in Economics. You'd need lots of experince to make up for this. MA economics is very competitive. May be you should think of choosing another course closely related to MA economics.

Sorry to all those that requested materials thay i did not get through to. I've been off here for a while. If you are still interested, especially in qbanks for l1 nd l2 let me know. I'll check this page everyday for the next 1 week.

windows98:
Hi people, Im looking for someone in ibadan to read with for next year's level 2. Any interested fella/lady should send me a shoutout here. Plus if anyone needs reading materials, at least for level 1 and 2, i can help you get easily (for free).
I would be offended if i have to pay from a source that isnt a direct one.

Anyways, cheers...looking forward to a shoutout

Its one thing to be desperate and another thing to be determined. I don't know much about the schools you listed but give it a shot by applying for positions (don't bother if they require 3.0 gpa minimum for the position). well just to encourage you, a buddy of mine who enrolled for masters at St. Cloud Uni this Fall, got a part-time (half) GA position recently, last week. When naira began to shake body, and he had outstanding tuition coupled with late fees, he got his game up. He met a Nigerian professor who knew another professor that needed a GA. the position was internal (it wasn't advertised) so my guy prepared his resume, applied and got shortlisted for the interview. Guess his gpa? 2.83 . He got the position!!. 60% Tuition bal cleared, just about 20% remaining. So whats the summary here? Yes, it will be difficult but being desperate wont get you funding. its good to cut your coat according to your size (I tell people this always), so even if you dont go in with funding, when you get to school, dont be downhearted, renew the vigor and you will achieve that which you seek!

I will not lie to you or sugar coat it...... ....its extremely difficult to get into grad school with this Gpa if this is the Us conversion. While there might be one or two schools out there. It would take a lot of research to find it ..that been said as a Nigerian i must add with prayers anything is possible as prayers have been proven to work so best advice you have to do that research to find that school and then pray pray pray that admissions will evaluate your application in its entirety
