If you mean to ask if higher fan speed
with the AC will reduce your MPG, it
certainly will! The AC in your car (aside
from electric AC systems found in
hybrid and electric cars) works
differently from the electric systems in
buildings and houses. Automotive AC
systems use a compressor driven by
the engine through an electromagnetic
clutch. This allows the compressor to
be disengaged when not in use. When
you use the AC, the air is cooled by
passing over the evaporator which is
cooled by the work done by the
compressor. The evaporator gets
cooled to about 34°F but not much
lower to prevent ice accumulating.
When the evaporator reaches that
temperature, the compressor is
disconnected by the clutch. As air
continues to flow over the evaporator,
the evaporator takes the heat from the
air and its temperature increases.
When the evaporator reaches about
42°, the compressor clutch is engaged
and the evaporator is cooled back to
34°.
Increasing the airflow over the
evaporator causes it cool down more
slowly with the compressor engaged
and heat up more quickly with the
compressor disengaged. This results in
the compressor running for more time,
which takes more power from the
engine and results in fewer MPG than
when the airflow over the evaporator
is lower.
It takes work to cool air. The work is
ultimately done by the engine. More
work is required to cool more air.
Electric AC systems are governed by
the same rules.

This means more fuel is used, not because the fan is using engine power to turn faster, but because the compressor ends up being engaged for longer and disengaged for far shorter periods during the use of the AC at higher fan speeds.

You pay 10k to process the transcript and 14k for them to transfer ur transcript to the exact place u want it to go.. They use DHL to dispatch my transcript to the USA

Senatorbee:
Pls has anyone used the service of ETX-NG in sending official transcript to the United State

Dear Ellie,
After reading your transcript, I'm of the opinion you didn't do enough and like I always say, you made this decision too easy for the VO. That question in bold was like giving you a stage, a microphone, an audience and the chance to earn a multi-million dollar contract and sadly, you didn't earn it.

If the answer's truly what you said literally, then it simply wasn't good enough. The U.S is a country where MONEY is the biggest factor in determining anything. To that question, your answer was too general, and disappointing.

A better answer like "He has $35k cash in his checking account and despite being on study leave, he still gets $6500 monthly from the company in Nigeria. After paying rent, bills, and living expenses, he still saves about $3k monthly and we are sure that would be enough to sponsor Sandra and I".

Not like this would have guaranteed your Visa, I'm only saying it would have greatly improved your chance by answering that question and giving the VO the idea that you planned this new life properly and you would have no issues.

Finally, your husband's company in Nigeria served as a very strong tie back home and that could also be in your favor in getting that visa.

This is a case where reapplying is a good idea. You just have to prepare well. I wish you the best.

My transcript 1:

Me: good morning ma
Vo: pass me ur i-20
Me: I did.

Vo: why did you choose wvu?
Me: of all the sch I applied to, wvu is one of the best and among the 1st 50 rated schools in USA, well known for its well structured curriculum and a high quality research program which aliens to my area of interest. And above all, I shall the doing a research work with Prof Charles Wenger who already told me about the research topic in my department..... (She cuts in).

Vo: how many schools did you apply to
Me: just wvu.

Vo: kept typing for ages................ Finally gave me the denial stuff.... You ain't eligible.
Me: was like... Why? She said I should go thrn the letter and know why. I left.


My transcript 2: 19-04-2018

Vo: pass me ur passport and i20
Me: good morning ma, as I hand over the materials to her.

Vo: I discovered you have been denied, wht has changed
Me: yes, i was denied, amd nothing has changed.
I don't kn why I was denied. But I think I wasn't given enough time to express myself.

Vo: OK, now you have the time, express yourself; whts new: what has changed in ur new application.
Me: (@ this point I was getting confuse, and she repeated it again) and I started talking about the school again, just like the way i said in the first one, perhaps der was no change in the former. And it ended with same denial.

Please I need assistance on how I can go about it?
What do I do? Planning to take Lagos embassy this time, because my admission is closing 15th may.

Walspring:
To all those who sent me pm, i replied you all and check your spam or junk box if you didn't see it in your inbox

Walspring:
Just make sure you apply for the CC and granted admission before you leave Nigeria because that will make your job smooth and easy

Walspring:
Why dont you apply for a university and get full ride

ThePianoGuy:
it’s best to sit for Gre since you are going for master but some schools accept just toefl!!!gre also increases your chances of getting a scholarship... finally you can get assistantship against 2019

Walspring:
It's better you sit for GRE and know your score so that you can be able to know which river or sea you want to cast your net to catch fish(es)

it depend on the school funding policy and you can get it if it's available for 2019 entry..

LagosismyHome:
Depends .... normally I would sit for GRE Before paying an application fee especially for funding as a lot can depend on the score but can start the ground work and other preparation in advance

Not sure what you mean by sit GRE after admission. You can only do that if GRE is not required . I think your best guide is listing for yourself all application deadline both for admission and funding and then making sure you meet those deadline

Jan entry...possible but note that funding is significantly less in spring (jan) resumption. There are more opportunities in fall (August ) resumption

How long depends on your school and how seriously you follow them up. I started my WES evaluation last September. My school delayed and sent my transcript in October and WES sent it back to them for verification that same month. My school then went cold on the matter as Non academic staff went from one strike to another which is still ongoing. I had already given up on the whole stuff and applied to schools that did not request for WES evaluation only for WES to send me a mail yesterday that they have received the necessary documents needed and my evaluation would be completed by friday.
I dull shai, so ur case could be a whole lot faster is you follow up your school bumper to bumper

presh68:
Hello everyone, pls I need advice my school sent me an email which goes thus "pls provide us with a copy of your original high school transcript we have received the evaluated one"(The evaluated copy was sent to them by wes) pls I need advice on how to send it to the school, why I need advice is because Waec office sent the result the last time to wes which then sent the evaluated copy to the School, I don't know if it is still duty of Waec to send the result directly to the school, or whether it is the duty of my high school.I will appreciate your advice, pls those who have experienced such should also air their opinions

folmus:
Sent

folmus:
I want to believe you are referring to FALL 2019 as most schools deadlines are Dec 2017 or late Jan 2018. If you still need materials PM me.

TWoods:
You do have a long way to go.

Accscholar:
1. You can first start preparing and when you know you are fit, then register for the test.

2. Check the websites of the schools for deadlines, then you can clear your GRE like three weeks before deadline and apply to the school before deadline.

Why do you assume, though, that I'm a bro. That's kind of sexist lol.

Accscholar:
I'm assuming that the person has not applied to any school. Before you apply, you need some time to prepare for the test. Let's say you take the test by March, many (good) schools would have reached deadlines for the Fall semester by then. So you may not likely meet up.

Nonetheless, if you are from India or maybe China , you can prepare for a short time and meet up with January or February deadlines, depending on the school. Do you get?
