It is true. It has been extended to October.

Left for me, it shouldn't have been extended.

Nigerians had from December last year till today.

Is that too short a time?

We just love doing things at the last minute.

I bet you some people would still ask for extension on that October deadline.

i hope u know the party who gave freedom to the african americans was the republican party, under prez bush africa saw alot of development. What did our brother obama and the democrates bring to us? Gay marriage. White americans are rascist be they republicans or democrates so u cant single out jux one party.

Captainswag225:
thats why i prefer the republicans to the democrats, they morally better. Democrats in general always sell their soul to the devil, the next republican president will change that stupp1d law. As for africans we never stay united thats why the west dictates for us, have u heard the usa forcing gay freedom on the arabs? No coz they are united unlike africa where some leaders always betray us. Ryt now, gay marriage is legal in s.a, next will be mozambique and that will be how it will spread accross africa.

No, it's time to teach Nigerians a lesson.

Learn some discipline. Deadline is deadline.

Stop with the African time.

Look at our development as a nation, we keep moving on African time.

Western world is in year 2020, we're still in the 50s.

My question goes to those who have been there:

Anything wrong with gesticulation while one responds to questions from the VO?

I've really been thinking. For me, it's tends to be an involuntary action (Sure I'm not the only one with that problem).

American embassy don't care about those list of documents, they just self inducement which adds very little to your application.

Bank statement and IV from your uncle 'might' be given a look.

Altering your payslip by your HR is one of the reasons why some embassies don't trust documents presented by Nigerians because we can even forge human being.

Thanks my people ddluv nd bbdd for your advice. All well and said I still have to give it a try cos people with lower gre than I do got admission with GA. Though I've mke research on schools lke Ball state univ, troy univ, univ of cancinnata and middle tennesse state univ. Please I nid u all to Hlp me find more schools that will accept my gre score of 288. Thank you all.

ddbluv:
No disrespect bruv, but your in a tight corner, you can get admission into a lower cadre school but that score especially the GRE is a no brainer. But dont get it twisted, people with lower scores have gotten GA , you only need to search for a needle through a stack of hay. If you got time, start now, theres eastern/western illionois (i dunno which 1 among the 2, kinda generous peeps with grants). GOODLUCK with your search & hope you get a CHANGE of loacation by next year.

bigfrancis21:
Lol. Lesson number 1 learned. Never be too direct with Americans. Americans are not direct people. We Nigerians are very direct. It is one of the cultural differences you'll notice when you come in here. You'll start learning how to mask your intentions perfectly, how to come up with a lot of convincing reasons to support what seems to be your conviction, meanwhile your intention is the exact opposite, and also how to talk a lot.

Mystiqme:
Lol. I don't think they are heartless. they may not have funds.

Gsun,

Option 1: Contact professors, tell them you have gotten admission and you want to work in their labs. Express interest and enthusiasm. It is not a display of desperation, but proactiveness- an important quality for a PhD student. This is my preferred option.

Option 2: Contact the Graduate coordinator and ask about the possibility of working as a graduate assistant with another department , unit, etc in your school.

Option 3: In the likelihood, that you do not get funding, it is probable that funding opportunities will turn up after one semester. Do you have personal/parental funds that you are willing to spend for one semester? Weigh the possibilities.

Option 4:Check if a PhD admission can be deferred. If so, defer and contact professors during that time.

gsun:
Dear house,
Thank y’all for the help you are rendering to others in here.

I have a bit of problem. And here is my case:
I got a PhD offer with an engineering department at a public University in the US. In the offer it was stated that funding is not guaranteed for now that the department will try to match me with Professors having grants in line with my interest to be my advisors so I could get funding from working with them. For that reason, I moved on to accept the offer, considering that I had applied to two schools under harsh conditions and later on the lower ranked school sent me regret mail for a probable mistake on my part. Meanwhile, I already had would be advisor there.

I have ended up not contacting Prof myself in this department given that they said they would do that, I felt they knew better. I also wanted it not to seem like desperation on my part.

Now, I am looking at options and wondering if I should have gone ahead to talk with Profs myself or just stay patient and disturb the graduate advisors with reminders, as I am already preparing my mind now on deferring the admission to subsequent semester, while I try out one or two additional schools on my pool of shortlisted university. I see PhD in engineering without funding is not worth doing from reading pages of this thread and personal experience.

Fall is winding up with resumption fast approaching and I have exercise patient up till now. What do you advice? What are my chances? Can I trust them by waiting a bit longer? Your take please!

Thanks for your time!

Cyclotron:
I only asked a question and I don't why you have to respond harshly.
When someone is undergoing training, does it mean that the person has been "employed"??
I only seek advice in order not to implicate myself and not criticism please .

Thanks for the information

Cyclotron:
I served as an intern in a pharmaceutical company; should I list it under previous employment or specialized skill (chemical) while filling the DS-160 form,because it is related to my course of study.

most people seeking roommates on Craigslist are either crack heads, ex-convict, nudist, pedophiles, gays. You don't want such roommate.
