Good morning guys

Please does anybody know where a TB test can be done here in Nigeria and the result will be accepted in the US schools?

Go to Clina Lancet Laboratory at Lagos or Abuja.

Good evening everyone,
I want to thank everyone who have been of great help, God bless you all.

Please house I'm thinking about these,I don't know the one to take:
I have a B,sc. In human Physiology, since graduation unable to secure job in this line,so I dive into scaffolding and solar installation.
Now these are options I'm thinking in my mind to take:
1,To do master in Health safety(I'm thinking of this since my job experience has something to do with safety then connect it with my degree).Or
2, Master in public health Or
3, master in research in health related field (though I don't have any research background except during B,sc. Project).
Please I need help,I don't know which would give me a better chance. Please I need your opinions

Hello EricOse1,

In my opinion, human physiology is interdisciplinary. You can email supervisors in ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, PHARMACOLOGY, MEDICAL, BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY, NEUROSCIENCE/NEUROBIOLOGY, BIOMEDICAL SENTENCES, AND SO ON.

You can apply for a Ph.D program if you have a CGPA of 3.0/4.0; if your CGPA is less, don't be daunted, be relentless in your pursuit.

Go through your transcript in college and look out for those courses you took, you can email profs. in those fields since you already have background knowledge. Also, I know several profs. in biology that publish articles in physiology journals.

Subscribe to newsletters of various journals and click the alert button to receive latest articles everyday. When you read articles, you tend to have multiple research interests. Stay updated in your field and other related fields.

What questions excite you?

What problems do you want to solve?

If you have spare time, volunteer/work in a research Institute or lab, in order to acquire research skills and to stay updated. By doing so, you can have the opportunity to publish articles.

You can take courses on Coursera, especially those on Phython, bioinformatics, etc.

You can also volunteer to teach in case of Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA ) positions.

Try to write standardized tests. While you prepare for these tests, create time to email profs. because most schools waived these tests, especially TOFEL if you are from an English speaking country.

Here is a link to about 300 universities in the US: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MYcxZMhf97H5Uxr2Y7XndHn6eEC5oO8XWQi2PU5jLxQ/htmlview?fbclid=IwAR2SKfOEPR-vcY7ulCMmGTuzHRSuhna-JVoMlEnDZLLK18kDC7RwccBBICM

Be motivated to send emails/contact supervisors in your field of interest in all these universities and others. There are tens of thousands of universities in the US, don't limit your chances.

Don't be daunted/unsettled by the tons of negative feedbacks you might receive. If the profs. don't respond, send reminder messages often; these folks are incredibly busy.

Most importantly, PRAY.

All the best!

I don't know if there's a hotel for 5k

Thanks, Choncoo! Is it advisable to book ahead for the hotel before arrival?

Hello House!

Does anyone know of cheap hotels around 5k which are close to Abuja Embassy. Thanks for your insights!

The plane ticket itself can vary from $500 to $1100, depending on how far out in advance the travel date is from the day that you booked. Also, the US airport that you're landing in could make a difference. Two people I know booked their flights for $450 last year December, Lagos to IAD (Washington DC). Apparently, landing in DC seems to be the cheapest I've seen so far.

WES fee will cost more than that as you have to add the cost of sending your transcript to WES and paying for additional copies to be sent to any extra schools that you are applying to (only the first WES copy is free). This WES fee could also be waived if you choose to apply to schools that don't require WES from international applicants.

Hello Bigfrancis21, I sent you a PM on your email. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you!
