Visa approved this morning, I Give all Thanx to God for showing me favour. My appointment was for 8.15am but got interviewed by 10.40, first I was told during biometric that my barcode doesn't correspond, this got me destabilized, good thing was that the fault didn't come from me, so it was fixed within minutes.
I want to thank the wonderful men and women that God used to make this day a success, thank you for your prayers, love and support. Thanx to Deetus for your time, a day never passed by without your advice, interviews and words of encouragement, thanx texrem for sevis fee payment, mock interview, and contributing to my transcript especially when i was depressed.Thanx robedolu for making this dream real and also introducing Brightify to me, @brightify your scolding on the first day of interview made me to sit up, thanx for your advice, encouragement and time, even in your busy schedule, thanks to pastor Walspring for the accomodation, prayers and showing me around Lagos, I for lost oo. Thanx Gunther for TOEFL fee subsidy. I thank everyone that have posted in this forum, I read and learnt alot.....transcript loading

. Congrats Man!!!?

Doctorfitz:
Oh thanks bro. Pls any extra tips I'd appreciate

TOEFL is kinda straight forward. Just follow the template of the YouTube video. It works wonders. Be confident and sound like a boss on the mic. Package your accent

Use the softwares and simulate the exam process and you should be fine.
Learn to read fast though....
And yes that day , be prepared for distractions from other rapping on their mics concentration is crucial. That's about it.

Doctorfitz:
Pls I need materials on TOEFL and some clarity

Check page 180 for a download Link.
Plus check for "notefull" on YouTube.
Best of luck

Please what engineering course what you advise me to do, that would have a high job prospect after grad.. cos my family is giving everything for me on this masters program

Dude Computer Science and Elect Elect are hot enough!! Do your research.

You already have EE background so you are good to go. Nigeria is not like Yankee.... Just know your onions and companies would come looking for you.

You should be asking of the prerequisite skills you need to build before you kickstart your MSc in EE or CS Sir. Like coding maths etc.
I have not secured any admit yet from what men are saying here, I have started brushing my coding skills small small plus reading papers.

You see as old men dey rake for the pressure of MSc.
EE/CS grads earn well but that depends on ur ability to stay strong and focused.

Check the salary of entry level engineers in CS/EE from 65000 to 110000 (depending on your skills and the company)
Compare that to other non STEM courses and you would see the light.

Mayflowa:
I am sorry if you were hurt by my statement. Because you needed someone to studied with, I was wishing if you were with the TWU's girl, you guys would have made a reading partners. Somehow, you even knew her. Your saying she can't face a certain level mathematics was not even fair to her. All courses have more or less same challenges- Mathematics, Medicine, Mechanical engineering up to Music.

We have been here night and day advising people on GRE, admission and Visa which you have benefited from just like we got some time past. So a another advise on reading hard after you have complained using YouTube flared you that up!

I have done most of your Mathematics courses bro including your real analysis. Yes it is hard but not killing. You can even enjoy it if you know the trick. I do apply your mathematics in real life in my work as a Doctoral Mechanical Engineering student.

For example I designed and built this robot from scratch including manufacturing the materials in one course. I can't tell you the interdisciplinary knowledge I drew upon including mathematics, programming and control. So I know the challenge we all face but I was motivating you that Nairalanders ought to be at the top because we know who we are.

LoL bro u never see maths obviously .... No offence meant. Mech na learner naaaa...
I build robots too bro Kinematics na moi moi et al. If I send you just one control course slide you go believe. If you have entered small modern and traditional control honestly u go change course.. LoL

Only Russians dey comfortable with does kin ish.... Ugly and boring...Math. Calculus easy by force.
But utry for that robot at least the ultrasonic sensor dey well positioned

iekene:
Please who knows about Subsea Engineering .. Is it a good course... I studied Elect/Elect in my undergrads and looking at applying for my masters in Subsea Engineering University of Texas, Houston. How is good is the prospect of getting a job after studies...Please advice needed....

Pls stay in EE na.... we need you....
At all at all enter CS

akins2016:
Hmmm. pls you need to help me explain to the guy wella oo. Thanks my brother. Notations and symbols dey there to learn not to talk of theorems, proofs and definitions. Here for Yankee, you must know it, not that you will cram to pass. i have professors here that will give you questions you never see before in the exams and you know what that means in abstract courses.. above all, our background for nigeria is not strong in abstract courses.We just cram to pass those courses as pa say our lecturer self no know am. Thank you again jare my brother. I hope to see you here soon which state you dey process ?

Chairman na all state from Colorado to Montana plus Texas come enter New Mexico dey sight Missouri cone dey reason any sure way for fundi . God dey...

akins2016:
I don't even know how to categorize your level of thinking about mathematics. you think mathematics is all about calculation right ? Get close to a pure and/ or an applied mathematician, ensure you look through their notes or you can simply google stuffs on it. you dey here dey talk like something i don't even know. Natural skill ko mammi water skill ni. I will try my best not to insult you. Try to show a matured person your posts and see what they think of it. That one self they talk matured reply SMH for you both. It's hard but we were able to survive it with good grade shikenna

My BLOTHER!!! I feel you pain man!!! The small control maths in MSc I did in Nigeria here self body tell me!! . so I decided to mail a prof in Yankee to help out with some materials to easy the pain.
Mehnnn what the man sent to me no be here ohhhh. You need like a year to finish the books not to talk of understanding the terminologies and symbols. I cram tire to manage score 57!
OAU na Die!!!
So imagine in US when you face the guys that really practice what they teach/preach. No shortcut Ooohhh....
God help us sha.. We go join UNA soon...

sunboy:
Well I have been a silent follower of this thread. I learnt a lot here but I believe God is the best teacher. I was at the US embassy today 8:15 and my visa got approved. F1 to be precise.

Will post the transcript soon.

Thank you all for your lessons shared on the thread, I have learnt a lot from here.

Thank you to all the Ogas in here.

Chapecoense:

Steps to window 7( no b laptop own oooh )

Me: Good morning Ma
VO: With a wide smile on her face ‘Pass me your passport please’
Me: Here it is
VO: Looks at her screen, ‘when did you graduate’?
Me: I graduated in 2010
VO: What have you been doing since then?
Me: I started working right after my mandatory National Youth Service at ****** as a Team Lead and I listed out my job description.


Lesson Learnt: Confidence is key!!! Be audible and speak boldly, also maintain eye contact at all times. Lastly, let’s not forget the import of our creator. Always pray for divine favour. Danke!!!

Yampotatocarrot:
Okay, I don reach here... I no start from beginning o.

Please I can't really find anyone talking about applying for admission, is it that schools in the US haven't started receiving applications against next year?

Also, those on ground, r there areas or schools we can say r good in Biotechnology? I want to go for M.SC in Biotechnology n yes, my first degree was in the same course

Please, r there schools in the US that wave these exam stuffs, cos most of d ones I'm seeing r requesting for exam results, especially GRE, I think
.thanks in anticipation of various answers

Go back to Square 1
And start reading.... Welcome on board.
But to add to your Tension, you are late on so many levels....

imperiouxx:
What the hell? If the definition of fafsa is posted in a very simple English on Google, then what the hell are you doing here asking dumb questions? Does the fafsa website you visited redirect you to US thread on nairaland? You better take your unruly behavior far from me before I start ripping into you. I can't even understand the crap you posted. And is this the kind of generation of student coming from Nigeria.

FYI: if a school referred you to fafsa and you're not so dumb, you would know that one of the fs stands for federal and as an international student you're not eligible for US government loans, funding or public assistance.

Ghennnn Ghennn
When funding hustle goes wrong.....

seeker88:
Hello,

I came across this and thought it might be useful to someone here. It's a fully funded PhD position in Robotics and Control at san Diego State University CA for Fall 2017. Check below for details:

Available Ph.D. Position in Robotics and Controls

One doctoral student position in "Controls and Robotics" is available through the Department of Mechanical Engineering at SDSU. The position will start in Fall 2017 and is fully funded. The doctoral program is offered jointly with the University of California, San Diego. Graduates recieve separate Ph.D degrees from both institutions. Click here for more details.

Hope there were no casualties

No! The driver must have left the truck safely. No ambulances on sight. But traffic is like 2 kilometers on both lanes

If you are enroute lagos be prepared to experience some delay at least 2hrs as a Truck is on fire, aboit one kilometer from wichtech company, But not a fuel Tanker!
Road safety shut down one lane for Safety Reasons.The Flame are pretty huge. So if you are already there and wondering what's wrong. Well now you know. We spent 30mins there bxos I am heading the opposite direction.
God help You....

Pls how do you fund neteller

imperiouxx:
For a New 2014 Honda Accord EXL V6 despite the fact that I live in NYC where chances of accident (total) is very high. Try work round your quote. Say you're a grad student and you only commute short distance like 3 days/week from home to school. That might help next time.

Oga imperiouxx!!

jyemsta:
VISA APPROVED (7TH DEC. 2016, 9:00am)...Special thanks to d almighty for everything so far. I was just too organised to be disorganized, i thank all d nairaland guru for the info on this. Engineering tech is a blend of advance engineering and business education, it basically will equip me with advance knowledge, skills, tools&
techniques to handle engineering production with efficiency of up to six sigma nd lean six sigma......
I BELIEVE CONFIDENCE AND ROBUST INFO ABOUT UR SCHOOL ND COURSE IS THE KEY. Even wen u dey tear lie, do it with confidence...
Finally, Pray for God favour.

Congrats Man!!!!!
