tanimola22: I can only advise you to continue with this plan of yours if you have the following

1. Good O'level (which you say you have)

2. > 3.5/4.0 OND and your full transcript

3. Money to take those tests (SAT 1 & 2 together cost around 30-50K, TOEFL costs around 17-25K, books for these tests cost 10-12K)

4. Being very sure to do very well on the tests

5. Someone to act as your sponsor just in case the embassy needs a letter from your sponsor

6. Money for application fees to the many schools you will apply to


If you do not have all these things, then forget about undergraduate studies in the US. Instead, focus on crossing to a university there in Nigeria. Do very well at the university (you are at an advantage because poly people are known to do very well at BSc level). After you have done very well at the university, you won't have problems getting a scholarship to go pursue graduate studies abroad, in fact any country of your choice.

However, if you confidently feel you have the above listed items, and even more, then visit http://www.eglobaltechng.com/satdates.html to learn more about registering for the tests.

Finally, start only what you can finish.

Good one for opening up. I know a guy who was given a scholarship to begin BSc after his OND. He had 3.68/4.0 in the OND, Yabatech. He did the SAT and TOEFL. He still had to prove that someone in naija would be willing to sponsor him just in case he fails to meet the scholarship GPA while studying in the US. A minimum GPA is usually required to continue enjoying a scholarship.

If your profile is similar to that of the guy and you have someone who is willing to give you a sponsorship letter, then you can start by taking SAT.

tanimola22: Try to research SAT 1 & 2. You will need a TOEFL score too.

Meanwhile, I think it is better for you to study and do well in Nigeria. Afterwards, you can easily get scholarships to study in the US.

^ Thank you o!

The interesting thing is that none of those articles said anything explicit about oil or oil companies.

I'm sure the op will be leaning towards chem or pet engrg now because down here, when we hear geology, we think Shell & co.

The after-school challenges expressed by majority of geologists on this forum doesnt make it any more enticing.

Of the 3, I guess Physics is the clear winner, but why not go for an engineering course?
