So you mean most ivies would accept it without evaluation
or have u seen anyone that was accepted without his/her transcript being evaluated??

Thanks! But since my school as stated the U.S equivalent of my grades that was recommended by NYC (New York City department of education) why would they still ask for it to be evaluated by WES which will cause me money and time

I just pray the evaluation is waived�

Phenomenalopeye:

Hello house, concerning letter of recommendation for someone using WAEC GCE will it be right to get LOR from the center you wrote the exam or go back to your secondary school?

Phenomenalopeye:
Thanks!

All ivies made test optional because of the pandemic

As for MIT I've communicated with d admission committee nd I was made understood I won't be penalized if I didn't submit my test scores because of the pandemic.
But I think I'm more comfortable with the coailation app

Thanks!

ND I won't need my wassce result tho

labylaby:

Hi!

I'm quite knowledgeable about the undergrad process. Those colleges are high reaches for everyone--including students with all As. You can't apply to only those schools.

Are your Bs B2s or B3s?

I know a lot of people who got into these schools for undergrad and I must say their WASSCE was way higher. This isn't to say you can't do it, but you need to add other schools. Add LACs with international funding like Amherst, Williams, Lafayette, etc.

Also check out Minerva at KGI.

You should totally take the SAT &/ Subject SATs. My friend with a 1510 was rejected at a lot of top colleges, but got into Amherst and Darmouth. And she had a 4.0, 5 A1s and had Olympiad experiences. Another with a 1460 got into Stanford with a phenomenal essay and international experience. All my friends basically had *something* that set them apart.

Don't stalk college confidential for the sake of your mental health.

Basically, you need something that shines through your app. How are your ECs? Your essays need to be awesome. I promise you a lot of essays are really horrible.

Honestly, your SAT needs to be really high to make up for the WASSCE.

I wish you the best of luck, but that college list of yours is not it. Besides, I think at first all of us are blinded with the promise of prestige. Why do you even want to apply to those ones? Have you checked out your future departments in each one. Ivy or not, not all departments are fantastic.


Goodluck!

Phenomenalopeye:
Ok thanks

So I've narrowed my list of universities for undergraduate admissions

MIT
Harvard University
Princeton University
Yale University
Stanford University

Gpa: 4.95/5.0
WASSCE 7B's and 2 A's
Great essays
Great letters of recommendations
I've not taken SAT/ TOEFL
Due to the pandemic, but I've been emailed by each institution that I can submit my application without test scores

Pls what's my chances of admission
I'll be using the coailation app

And your questions and contributions are highly appreciated

Thanks!

Good day y’all. I’m Adegbola, a Nigerian. I recently got admitted to Howard university for fall 20, class of 2024. I got the Capstone scholarship at Howard which is a $26k (i.e tuition and fees). However, based on financial barriers I can afford pay for the accommodation. I’m hereby seeking help from anyone who lives or or knows anyone that lives in Washington D.C or Maryland that could accommodate me for a first year (freshman year) such that in upcoming years I can apply for external scholarships and also work some jobs to get funding. Thanks as you help out.

tarantino1:

I spent a total of #42275 for my registration (excluding data , passport and other inconvenience)
About the international passport, I already have a national identification slip so I guess am good to go. All u need is something of national importance including voters card. All they need is something to tally with the information on ur admission slip and their system
U can dm me , but the biggest problem I am facing is that most of the files are larger than Gmail standard 25mb maximum. I am thinking of working around it

Kbs468:
Agreed that one cannot probably be opportuned to watch every game of football due to one reason or another. So resorting to documented minutes by minutes commentaries like those from goal.com that I copied those hints from wouldn't be a bad idea now. Isn't it?

Besides, Whoscored that you referenced even named SANCHO as the Man of the Match as well-meaning that he must have over tortured COLLINS from the below inspite of being the second best player after their 2 Goals scorer.

Yes a team's performance is based on the individual input from the Players concerned and in this case, JADON did used COLLINS to shine to the point of even being named as the Man of the Match and COLLINS couldn't cage SANCHO

I didn't say COLLINS must be in Madrid nor Bayern to be acknowledged as an excellent Player though because his teammates in the SE are not in such set ups before they are being acknowledged as excellent too. Collins is at present a Nigerian footballer in football carpentry faculty. Unless (like I said before) proves me wrong in his future SE engagement

TheSuperNerd:
Jamilu Collins finished as Paderborn's second highest rated player today according to Whoscored with a 7.9 rating and he is among the game's overall top 5 performers as his side played out a 3-3 draw away at Borussia Dortmund. Paderborn threw away a three nil lead as Dortmund's obviously high quality shone through....

Collins was also the game's no. 1 in tackles won (Won 7 tackles). He topped in recoveries stats and he created two chances for his team today.


This is the reason why "the Collins is absolute crap" club don't seem so keen on talking about his performance today after the final whistle. Lol

ubcandid:
Coupled with his stats in Europe, I wonder why the guy looks so off in the super eagles.

osinbanjoisaliar:
I am curious to know, if any nigerian has been able to accomplish the task of besting the SAT with a perfect score of 2400 for the old SAT or 1600 for the new revised SAT.
Since we are always claiming that nigerians are the best students in the world with super tales of award winning doctors and mathematicians; then surely there should be one out of 140million who was able to accomplish this feat.
So nairalanders, tell me if it has been done and by who

gamaliel9:
Hum watching Ejaria and Aribo....the two seem to be at par..at best languid....not as skillful as Papilo who was more languid sef...Aribo and Ejaria lack resoluteness,combativeness or guile of a Papilo...

Just watch Joax Felix..the Portuguese at Vincente Calderon you will understand...


Ejaria and Aribo are rally average,we have to lower our expectations on them,enjoy their game...

logon599:
It's weird that I've never watched any of Osimhen's matches.
Pls for those who have seen him play, how good is he?
