Its not a low tier school. The loan is only applicable for top schools. Its the University of South Florida
Then i think you should try again

Good Morning. I got my Visa denied today this morning in Abuja Embassy. I think the International student loan does not sound so good to the VOs. My transcript is thus:

Vo: how did you pick this university
Me: I contacted Prof. Don Morel because his research interest aligns with my professional career goal which is to introduce unprecedented solar technologies in Nigeria which would contribute greatly to the Power sector
Vo: How many Universities u applied to
Me: 6 Universities and I mentioned all of them
Vo: why did you pick d university over others
Me: Because I will be learning from Faculties that have had one or two inventions in their name and the university is also ranked among the only 25 best universities for technology transfer in the US.... (cuts in and caressing my passport)
Vo: How will you pay for this?
Me: I got a student loan from Prodigy finance in London, UK which my dad will be fully responsible for paying back
Vo: what's the worth of the loan?
Me: A total of $50,000

Vo: Sorry I will not be approving your VISA.


Let me know what you think. I will be trying again next year, hopefully I will get an assistantship. I also have an application against next Fall. Can I change my school if I got admitted with funding?
depends on the school. What schools is this and what are the 6 other schools. If it is a low tier school. The VO won't be able to make sense of taking a loan to fund a low tier school. But let me not assume. Lets know the name of the school first.

No WAEC doesn't send cards for people. You should send it yourself. They only send your result.

Hi so i just saw that WES has added another layer to their WAEC verification for easy use. Was wondering if anyone is interested in sending it in bulk hence cutting down courier fees. You can just buy your scratch card, put your WES number then we can all send with a courier and split the courier fees
Got this response from WES when I asked if I can send the scratch card myself.

Heard WES requires WAEC verification via email. Scratch cards will not replace/is not for verification from the examining body.
Is this a statement of fact gotten from WES? Or Hearsay? undecided

Do you know that WES has added scratch card submission as a requirement on their page??

Hello house, please can gurus in the house give insights on STEM and OPT options. Contributions will be appreciated from people who are already active in this area. Thanks
From the little i have researched on, if your program is a STEM program you have 2 years in addition to your 1 year OPT (i.e. 3 years in total) to work in the US thereby increasing your chances to file/a company filling for you to get a H1-B Visa(which is a work visa). For Non- STEM programs you just have 1 year OPT to work in the US and try to get a company to file/you filing for a H1-B Visa.

Hello,

So I heard waec would send the scratch card to Wes but I don’t know how long that would take, and I don’t know if you are supposed to send yourself, and if it is possible to send yourself the. I would like a contact of where the scratch card can be gotten from because I also think it’s scarce to come by.

Thank you
why don't i believe that WAEC would just send scratch cards for how many people to WES grin Scratch card that is not free hmm. Anyway i dont think i want to bet my future with WAEC. The picture i posted above states "WHAT YOU NEED TO DO" doesn't speak of any institution in the mix nor even have any institution icon so it is basically on you.

Really ? Did u do that ?
Just saw that WES accepts scratch cards would take that route.

Nope I haven't . But already sent all other documents . I was mailed to not do anything for now . I'm at the verification stage . So they are awaiting the institutions . At the end I may not send it
for Waec verification don't bother waiting. I have waited for one month and one week for them to validate what they sent to WES. if you want your evaluation done quickly i suggest you use the Scratch card route.

Well, there are many sides I could see to this, one is the fact that most of those who applied to top schools don't come over here to make enquiries, they only get to be silent readers, they download the transcript drop box and develop it to their own taste....

You know what it means when Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Duke, Massachusetts give you funding..... for you to have gotten the funding through various mail respondents for months, then, preparing for interview will be an easy ride for you.

I have a friend that scored 316 in GRE, who decided to re write just because is target was Duke University, he wrote again, then scored 315, so, he had to check out lesser ranked schools because of that score....But most of us, sincerely, and probably among busy schedules couldn't get to write the GRE which is what makes those top schools competitive....

Also, this same friend told me of a WhatsApp group that consists of gurus all over the world, including Indian students, studying in US, he belongs to the group, they discuss basically, how to get into top schools, and nothing more, and that's where he got his inspiration...


He was the one that told me Indians usually study with loans so they easily get into top schools even if they don't get funding, and they do so with a target of getting employed in top companies, be it business or manufacturing company in the US....they believe they will pay back while they get employed in those big companies... the difference here is Nigerians hardly attend such schools without funding...


I can keep on writing on it...but let the gurus here help out more.
Pls do keep writing....We need to enlighten people. I belong to several GRE and MSINUS groups which are full of Indians and i have made lots of friends along the way. These guys are "go getters" their tenacity is quite infectious.

Infact i have found some study buddies among them and i have improved alot in my GRE study. I was targeting fall 2019 before into some low tier schools because i also have a 9-5 job in a tech firm.

But i have decided to push it to 2020 because most of the top tier schools funding deadlines have either passed or are coming up soon and i wont be able to meet them. Also my course of study isn't really in low tier schools which has to do with Tech Innovation. Another great factor is the time it offers me to be more embedded in more tech and community projects in the next 8 months which would strengthen my application.

My target schools are Boston University for their dual degree, Cornell University, University of Virginia and some other mid tier schools.

One thing i decided to do is to check out their requirements and understand what is required. I have 8 months from now to put my best foot forward. I have also identified some bias that can work on my behalf.

1. African
2. Female
3. In Tech (3 magic words that sells like hot cake right now) grin

Secondly, i have reached out to alumni's in my proposed program on linkedin for tips etc, I found out for Boston University the rate of Africans applying to that course is very low. Infact 2016 set just had 1 African a Sudanese.... Spoke to her and found out she didn't even have the "top notch GRE score needed" Same with a friend who just got into Harvard but diversity, etc played a part.

Indians: What people don't understand is that they are in competition with each other for admit spots. An Indian once told me they are held to a higher standard than others from other countries just because they are too many of them that are just as good. That's why you find an Indian who got 320 in GRE crying and saying how can he get 330 embarassed can you imaginehuh?

Funding: The art of predicting every factor before it happens restrains anything from happening. I believe in taking a step at a time. You never know what can happen.

The inspiring story of how Koye got into INSEAD is a testimony to this among others https://www.bellanaija.com/2018/01/mogbekeloluwa-koye-ladele-shares-inspiring-insead-journey/

Another Great factor is: THE LONG TERM PLAN. Many Nigerians are very short sighted and they don't see the future nor the cycle change of leadership turning. The relationships, networks and pedigree etc can really do wonders for your future.

I am just encouraging people to make the best out of every opportunity that comes your way. Strive for the best as it plays out well in the long run. At least TRY! smiley
