And is this the kind of students coming out of Nigeria now? You continue to show how rude you're in your comments. Probably you forgot that you rudely asked for my achievements. If you're a serious student and wanted to be taken seriously you will answer my questions and tell us the credential you're starting with. You don't need to do your undergrad in Nigeria, for someone smart like you, obtaining the admission and the visa would be as easy as A, B, C. Lastly, since you claim to be intelligent like no one has seen before, you should be able to comprehend where I said:

Ignored

Thanks a lot man

gokuu:


I think that you should always try to get the best in everything, including undergrad education.

That said, a US undergrad program is very expensive and scholarships are very rare at that level.
If you can't fund it, or don't have a scholarship award then you probably shouldn't be sounding so entitled.

If you're really interested in undergrad studies, you'll have more luck at EducationUSA in the US embassy.

Tell me more about EducationUSA please

@Imperiouxx, sometimes I feel like throwing up whenever I'm going through posts of ignorant prospective students here...

Just because you are trying to put him through, he already started responding in a rude way...


Sometimes, Nigerians feel like your are their enemy of progress when correcting them or explaining what they don't know to them..

Thanks

Can you tell me what exactly he was 'explaining' to me?
About me paying my dues?
Is there any rule/law/system that encourages one to have his first degree in Nigeria

Please don't dabble into matters without first scrutinizing the root cause of the altercation.

imperiouxx:


Anybody can mouth this way too and has nothing to show for it. My question is what can you show to say you're or would be an intelligent undergrad?

In a simple word..... your credential?



To answer your question as short as possible, As a young graduate in Nigeria I participated in community outreach program for the prevention of HIV/AIDS during my service year, spending my own money. I involved in many other community development projects as well. In U.S, I involved in biomedical research sponsored by NHIS and I'm currently working with the underserved population e.g working with people with development disability and volunteering to feed the old people.

So back to my question, as for you, what worth transferring from the "useless education system" to the U.S system?

Don't forget you're in the PostGrad level while I'm an undergrad... so it will (in my opinion) be rather unfair if we begin to make comparisons about both our achievements.

I bet when you were an undergrad you had nothing to contribute.. so refer to my earlier post

imperiouxx:


Even a kind of saucy undergrad

As an undergrad student, what have you made out of the "useless education system" that worth transferring to U.S system?

Interesting..
It's funny to realise that you keep contradicting yourself.. A country like the United States will be happy to retain a very intelligent undergraduate-cum graduate student who performed excellently in his 4-year program.

What I mean in summary is that I'm still a raw meat in process.. when I graduate,then I can contribute immensely.
So Mr PostGrad,what have you contributed to your country let alone the United States?
Internet trolling? Cyber bullying?

iekene:


If you have sufficient resources please by all means come to USA. YOU DIDN'T BORROW ANYTHING FROM NIGERIA. YOU OWE HER NO DUES.

Write SAT and Toefl applying to schools that fit your score and funds. That's basically it.

Thanks my brother... I'm definitely on that

mrjojo:
Family based F1? or you meant F2?
There is nothing like this. Moreover F1 visa is a study based visa not meant for "permanent" relocation.

my thoughts exactly

chokey419:
So basically I am moving to the US permanently next week, started this thread to share my preparations, fears and challenges which I may encounter on my journey to a new beginning..



Enjoy

I definitely am following

imperiouxx:


And this is why your question remains unanswered because most here paid the dues to Nigeria first....... eg long ASUU strikes, poor grading system, studying with no electricity, falling sick while writing exams, going to school during fuel scarcity, paying for project from your pocket while credit goes to the professor etc.

And you type all those as if it is how its supposed to be
The problem with you Nigerians is that you have taken the artificially-inflicted hardships in this country to be normal and even give yourselves praises for 'overcoming' it.

Pathetic. I refuse to be part of this useless education system

gokuu:


Lol. Have you heard the concept of "pay your dues"?
First, you need to pay your dues in the Nigerian university system.

that one na for una oo .. me wan pay my dues for better country.. this country no dey try at all for education... Dem ASUU are just after their own pockets, they never loved us.

Nna na wa oo
Na so so PostGrad talks I just dey see
Nobody to help out an undergraduate applicant like me... I just dey hear GRE,TOEFL,MSc blah blah blah

mccoy47:
God punish GEJ

A sillly and needless comment

Walspring:


Yes it's possible but my own advice is follow the lay down rules and if you don't violate it then you are good to go.

OK thanks

Walspring:


Don't do this because it will be out of status and that makes you illegal in US soil..

The best way is to obey the rules and the student visa and attend school..

What about if one remains in the US after completing his school program and decides to get a job and gets married??

enigbon:
serious i just applied for mcit and it requeted the 80 dollars, wat did u apply for

Is it undergraduate or post grad?

Mark my words.. "It will be my turn soon"

gokuu:


Honestly, do we really thing America would So great if everyone was just so lazy? Nowadays, we don't even want to lift a finger; people just want to stroll into MMA and out of JFK...

Exactly bro... they want 'oshofree'. They think good things come on a platter of gold.

Nairalandboss:

Fee is N45k

thaks alot

Nairalandboss:

Further Math is not a Problem at all, neither do I, Hope you are planning to write SAT?

Michigan State University
Duke University
Still at the process of applying to more schools

Just write SAT and you are Ok

OK boss... when is the next SAT exam?... and the cost

Forgive my much questions

Nairalandboss:

Yes Bro
I actually typed that on behalf of someone, I will be going for Engineering, BSC and I hope to take a space in the circle too
God bless seun for Nairaland and God bless people like you that have made it useful

my guy.. please I also want to go for engineering but lack of Further Mathematics in my waec is hindering me... what do you think?
And which school are u considering?

LagosismyHome:


Grade 9 is about 14 years old ..... except if his sponsor is his parent and can show his parent's can afford to cater for him even without scholarship then his chances might be higher . mind if i ask . who did he go with and who is his sponsor and staying with ?

if i am a Vo i will not give someone that young to go to high school in the USA except if a parent is based in the USA..... There are loads of great secondary schools in the Nigeria so really why does he want to do high school in the USA. At that age he has to be properly supervised and guided so he doesnt go the wrong way

Might be best to wait until he is older, more mature and apply to go for undergraduate degree .

that's their choice.. their decision shouldn't be the issue but how they can get him a visa

Joan011:
sent you mail

thanks a million but I can't seem to access my NL mail right now... I'd appreciate if you send it directly here.
Thanks in anticipation

Please I need some suggestions on schools in the US that do not require SAT exams....
(Cheap schools)

Is it every American university that requires Further mathematics to study Engineering?? Please I need answers

Is there any university in the US that doesn't require SAT? Preferably around the North Eastern axis (Massachusetts etc). Please help out
