Hello House.

Permit me to make this post. I would like to advice all applicants, to ensure that they make application fee payment themselves. In fact if someone would have to pay for you because of financial constraints, unfavorable exchange rate or whatever PLEASE ENSURE IT IS SOMEONE YOU KNOW VERY WELL. I have discovered that some people exploit this application payment thing to SCAM fellow Nigerians. Recently, I logged unto my application portal and discovered my APPLICATION WAS WITHDRAWN BEFORE DECISION WAS MADE. Upon mailing the grad cord. She told me I went to the bank to revert the payment, and thus my application is null.

I was all over the place. Apparently, the person I asked to make the payment for me had other ideas about how to double his gain. This is very bad because I loose in two ways; A bad reputation with the school and wasted resources in terms of scores, transcript and recommendation sent.

I believe my post will save an APPLICANT OUT THERE, because recently this same thing happened to my friend. Different agent made payment, but the same end game. Let us consider future generations and future applicants. WHAT IF NIGERIANS GET BLACK LISTED FROM US SCHOOLS?.

Someone might say that is not possible, But do a search and you will discover there is a list of countries that US schools are skeptical and wary of, whenever a citizen makes an application from them. Nigerians are already perceived as dubious, con stars and fraudsters.

PLEASE, I BEG THOSE PERPETRATING THESE KIND OF EGREGIOUS AND UNNERVING ACTIONS TO STOP!!!

let us restore the GOOD OLD DAYS OF INTEGRITY......Pay that application fee yoursefl!!

I wish everyone success, admission and funding come 2019.

Not sure about elections, but I think he said somewhere he is not too happy about nigerians running away

Hi,

Has it been accepted now.

hi guys, I can't find WAEC scratch cards in my area. Can anyone recommend where I can get one, maybe online? Thanks in advance

sureb0yy:
Just checking in. Hope everyone's doing ok. Looking at transcripts on here it's sad to see how people have abused the freedom students used to enjoy. Back in the day, US Embassies hardly bothered with documents. Just go there and speak truthfully, intelligently with a clear-cut plan for your future and you're most likely going to get your visa. What a shame.

I'm shocked to see the number of "admistrative processing" cases. The mistake many prospective/current students make is the inability to think for themselves and/or think outside the box. Taking horrible advice and just making irrational decisions and hoping for the best.

My eyes have opened to so many things in a little over 2 years. Things I really wish I knew before leaving Naija. Some low-key career-paths where you'll make a fortune and be set up for life. Writing this is almost making me angry sef.

For those who just arrived here and others planning to come, don't come and waste 2 years of your life on nonsense o. There are multiple paths to the market. Don't let anyone tell you their way is the only way. Stay informed and think outside the box. In two years, while your mates are running up and down looking for the jobs their grandfathers did not keep for them here, you'll be using employers to do shakara, with multiple options available to you.

I'm interested, kindly add me/send me a Watsap message on 08056178964. Thanks

She knew why she needed to be in the US. A lot of denial transcripts here are generic but then some people aren't lucky as the VO doesn't give them time to express themselves. I look forward to your UPenn transcript

darkelf:
Dude. Please I asked for a second opinion because I wasn't sure. If you guys had concurred, I would have processed with the WAEC result.

No offence oga, but you sounded a bit rude with your reply. Try to sound more courteous next time please.

PS: I had visited their website and I saw it as part of the requirements but I wasn't sure if it was compulsory.

Anyways, thanks all the same

darkelf:
Good day people

I have a quick question please.

For someone applying for an MS degree in the USA, does WES require WAEC to send his/her result?

I'm currently in Abuja working and the person helping me process my result from Lagos (which is where I had my undergrad studies) says WES also requires WAEC but I feel she isn't been sincere with me. How true is this please?

I mean, I'm applying for an MS degree and not a Bachelor's degree, so I don't understand the need for my verified WAEC result.

So please, I urgently need your opinions on this? For those who have applies for MS degree in the USA, did WES require your WAEC result?

Thanks.

urs will end up even better. You won't be tense as I am now. It will be a straight victory

Afolabi6046:

Thank you very much for your quick response, I will proceed to go and apply for my own on Monday, that is what has been holding me. Because when I called FedEx Lagos they are telling me #17500. Once again thanks

Amoto333:

Amoto333:

Niyi101:

connectgt:
@CuteRedd, I wonder if the guys in the link you post are for real. Their PH Rep I spoke with just told me it would cost me between 14k to 15K for just a scratch card.Some Nigerians will never change

I just told him not to bother. Some people sha.....

frostsc:
I'm so sorry about your result. I think I posted what I feel you should do earlier in this thread before you took your test. I was thinking you would reschedule the test. I can see you wrote the previous test on the 31st of October (If I'm correct) and you wrote the next a couple of hours ago. And given your range of scores, there could not have been much improvements. The prep time was just too short.

I would have given other suggestions, but the hard truth is funding may not be as feasible as when you have great GRE scores. Though other factors like your CGPA come into play. I know it's difficult to write again after two attempts, but if i were in your shoes, I'll write again but this time, I would do things very differently. I would still suggest you read my earlier reply and adhere to it. Also, if you can, register at B.Y Mafit www.gregmattoeflnigeria.com/gretestdatesinnigeria and go for 10 weeks lectures straight. Also make use of the magoosh and Manhattan online prep they give. The Manhattan has lots of practice questions. All these resources are free. Also, while there, join study groups and read arduosly. Then budget another 2-3 months for practice. I think there are some uploads here as well, though many of them would be outdated.

I know of a girl who scored just like what you scored, and took the steps I earlier suggested and had an upwards of 220.

Just as CptCharlesVane said, the GRE turns the wise of this world to fools and gives great scores to a foolish underperforming person who knows what he's doing

If you can't rewrite, and it's an absolute no, then I may be able to point you in the direction of some schools that will likely give admission based on other factors with a low GRE score.

Afolabi6046:
Wow! I think the guy should dive right in then, UTDallas would start a Bachelor's in Data Science next year too, it's a hot cake everywhere. I'm currently using MOOCs to learn too, follow the trend Thanks for the group o

Afolabi6046:
For someone that studied accounting, MSc in Data Science is the best, i'm not just sure our naija schools teach our guys the basic python they need. I think they do more of excel, SPSS. But he can start learning that and apply for fall 2020. How are you doing? You haven't still shared the Indian GRE study group thingy
