Mayflowa:


You flopped all the opportunities to sell yourself. You were too lukewarm. No excitement in your answer. I am sure you barely spoke loud.

I want to stress here that VO are tired of hearing about online research for school. How many school can you truly research online? Every sch online will sell itself. Wouldn't you if you had a school. Therefore online details is a very bias means of choosing a school. You would probably be deceived and frustrated once you get to the school.

One good way to find out about the school is past experiences of students and staff of the school who are by themselves experience the school. So telling VO that a formal senior or brother of yours attended the school and told you of the numerous opportunities the school offers and saying he found employment immediately he got back to nigeria because of his acquired skill sets is a good way to impress the VO. You could say he was elevated to senior position because of his contribution to his workplace six months after returning from us.

Notice I always tie my answer to nigeria because of home ties. I cannot over emphasize the importance of that.

On why you choose the course, stop saying the curriculum or class ratio. Most school in US has same structure of curriculum. Why? They all research into best structure of curriculum and they virtually turn up with same curriculum. However, current research differs per university. So ur attraction to a named researched by prof so so will be apt for you to mention. Go further to say you are in touch with the prof. If you have a good sat or GRE score. Chip in that he was happy with your CV and GRE score.

See? You are the one leading the interview. At this stage, he would be interested in your score. VO would be impressed.

I hope I made a good point. This is a money-worth points. You got it free. So be nice to someone else.

Thanks for the info I am copying your writeup to future reference

Bro, I guess you were referring to TAMUK. Do they waive toefl for nigerian applicants?

They will waive it if yu have a high VERBAL GRE score.

Hello house,
First input on this thread. @stoid and @Agreatman. Got admitted to TAMUk recently also, grad cord said "no funding for international students for first year "..... however, a friend @ d dept told me I wld be able to apply for TA only when I resume. He did d same last year

Which department is that?

imperiouxx:


Yes, Nigerian account is better in your case. See from what I quoted from the other website.

No issh. ...make sure I find one!....at least I can use...a different SOA.? abi

imperiouxx:


This is a bad idea. Are you going for an immigrant or non-immigrant visa? You don't even have anything tying you to home and how do you want to prevent getting a 214(b) during your interview?

Bros going for a normal F1 visa. What about being able to show my course is needed back home.

Bro.what's the bottom line?....should look for a Nigerian Statement of account

dicapino:
Hello folks. When is the ideal time to go to Walter Carrington for the Visa interview for Fall 2016.

Thanks.

I didn't get an answer to my first question. Well I got another one. I got a bank statement from a relative in the US.
A friend of mine said VO may deny me / be sceptical of giving a visa, since the account is from US and I may not plan coming back to Naija, coupled with that my school is in the same state in which my uncle resides.

I need advice ooo. Has any1 here experience such a situation.

Hello folks. When is the ideal time to go to Walter Carrington for the Visa interview for Fall 2016.

paulbets:
Fortissimo bro I have got a reject from kstate. Two more to go!!!!!

Have faith bro. Your blessing is on the way!!!

AgreatMan:


I had been in exchanging emails with both the grad cord and the office manager at the department (not the graduate school). SO I simply sent my credentials to the graduate cord, office manager of the department and to the graduate office including a screenshot of the application fee payment confirmation page. Will be glad if the decision can be that fast though.

Kk that's cool sharp guy.

Na hawking sure pass nw!....a lot of goodwill coming from Nigerian celebrities

AgreatMan:


Paid the application fee yesterday. I sent my docs to the department's office manager immediately and one hour later she said she had printed all docs and opened a file for me. Thanks.

Seriously. Was that's at the graduate office/ email . Mine took me 2 weeks before my file was complete ( I think it was my letters of rec. though!).

You might get a decision 2mao. My file got completed on a Friday and I was admitted Monday.

Gud luck bro!

imperiouxx:


You can take min of 9 and max of 12 credit hour/semester. When on GA, they will hardly let you take more than the min.

Bros thanks a lot.

AgreatMan:


Please I need your input, I am about dropping my application for TAMUK via applytexas. In that appytexas page, they haven't asked for docs that others usually ask. they didn't ask for GRE, TOEFL, Transcript, sop on applytexas and I need to know if it was same with you. Is that how they run the thing or will I be redirected to another site where I can make those submissions after making the $50 payment? thanks.

Bro just apply first. Then all your docs via email.
Two letters of recommendation
Gre score ( if yu scored more than 145 in verbal they would waive TOEFL )
SOP
TRANSCRIPTS
UNIVERSITY CERTIFICATE
International passport

to gradschool@tamuk.edu

Once yu pay start disturbing them by phone

charlycharly:


Pls who has been able to do this? DanjaNinja when I attempted Grouping all 200 topics I got 25+ groups. This is already large. Pls can you assist? I am grateful for this insight in the first instance. Thanks

There are sites... online where GRE questions have bin grouped. Just use Google it.

lobito007:

Gracias

Uwc. Which program are you going for?

Hello guys. Got a question!

In the US from my findings tuition is charged based on credit hours (hpe I am correct). Like in some Mech Engr. programs the total credit hours be like 31- 34 credit load. Okay.

Is there a max or min credit load a student can take in a 1 semester. Or does it vary?

For example, on my Financial document tuition is calculated for 9hours.

On getting to my department could this credit load be higher.

Thanks

lobito007:

Bro, do you know schools in Texas that waive TOEFL for msc in mech eng? Also, schools in same TX that will accept upload of unofficial GRE score report and transcript for application, and then have me send official copies after making an admission offer.

Texas A&m Kingsville. It's a nice fit

profojah2:

Leo.. Been trying to call you, which kain phone you dey use sef..

I go buzz you now

AgreatMan:


Thanks, I will call them later today. As per your admission, nuclear is some really strange shiitt. Maybe you can connect with current graduate students on Linkedin or fb.

Yeah I have started doing that.

Hello guys, I got admitted @ at a school. I have been searching for assistanship in my department. Now from info I gathered I would be able to get an RA from a Prof. that's into core Nuclear Research....asin...fusion and fission things.

Folks I read Mech Eng. I have never done anything in that area. My fear is that it would be a difficult switch.

I am in a quandary.


NB. The prof. Is in the Mech Eng.department

AgreatMan:
Please who knows if TAMU at Kingsville Environmental engineering MSc requires LOR, I really have to know before I pay for their application. Their application is quite different and I have not gotten any response from the department.

I think they require LORS. I sent in 2.....check their website the info is there.

As for contacting them. I think it would be better you call. That's more effective.

Philadelphia:

Not yet dear. I work by faith and not by sight.
You are welcome to my league

I love that.

My ogas. Please any person who is presently Texas A&m Kingsville??.....t

stolid:


Bro, I did. Just replied.

Replied

Stolid left you a pm. Hope yu got it.

Very sad.....

UNIVofTEXASatT:
Hi everyone.
I work for the Graduate School at the University of Texas at Tyler. As you would have probably seen our promotional ads over the last week, this school offers several amazing programs that suit the twenty-first century work/market place.
There are several scholarships as well if you have a good GPA.
Please feel free to ask me any question and I will be more than happy to answer you.

I saw the ad on nairaland about the scholarship @Tyler

I would like to know if WES evaluation of undergraduate transcripts is compulsory.
Would love to apply but the evaluation seems to be an albatross for me.
