Hello guys, i read lots of transcripts on this platform. And i'm glad to tell y'all i got my US visa approved yesterday.
But I have a little challenge, the consular was too carried away with my stories and i was too excited and forgot to drop my passport photograph, im thinking the consular forgot to ask too.
Please will this matter, and how do i go about this??

Thanks guys.

Hello All, the only thing pending in my application is my SOP.

I've got 2 SOP drafts but I don't feel they are 'sexy' enough for funding especially. If there's any one willing to help with this, I'll really appreciate it.

Epp a brother. December is almost here.

PM me let me take a look at it.

Good day house!..please I'll like to know the differences between a masters degree and a professional masters degree. Thanks in anticipation.

seeker88:
I always like your post....always encouraging. Kudos boss!

Na GOD ooooh
just trying to help out

Dontknowmuch:
I have graduated. My problem and fear is that complication you mentioned. But can I just use my result, my cgpa is around 2.46?

Try and use WES evaluator to determine your score an a 4point scale. Some schools in the middle of no where still accept 2.5/4 for admission for MSC like :

Best of luck..... Don't give up yet


But have to work hard on GRE and TOEFL to compensate for you low GPA

Mail schoos too....

NoobSaibot1:
Hello Guys,

Kindly weigh in on my situation here. I've been a silent reader on this thread and other travel threads as well. I must admit that there's a wealth of information buried in this section. Thanks to all those who have contributed to this.

Here's my situation:

I'm interested in pursuing a Masters degree in the US. I actually refused to do this in Nigeria since cos I've always wanted to experience education outside Nigeria. I strongly feel the time is right for me to do so now.

I'm in my late 20s with over 4 years work experience in communications. I have my degree in English Language with a 2.2 GPA coupled with additional qualifications in PR and Advertising.

I've contacted a couple of schools who are willing to offer me admission. University of Southern Mississippi is willing to offer me a provisional admission (in Public Relations & Advertising which is where my passion lies) and I have to take GRE due to my CGPA. The other, Southern New Hampshire University offers me MBA (which is less relevant to my career in my opinion) does not require GRE or any other additional tests.

My dilemma is not being able to settle for one due to some circumstances. I have friends in SNHU and are encouraging me to come over, saying admission process is relatively easy there. USM however offers me what I need albeit with a little stress. Whichever I choose though, I have no problem defending my choice of program at the visa interview but I'd want to avoid needless grilling by the VO as much as possible.

The other dilemma is sponsor. I don't quite understand how the statement of account thing works. I have a maternal Uncle who's willing to sponsor but we don't share the same surname. I'm aware this may raise concerns at the visa interview so I'm not too keen on it. I intend to save up a large chunk of my salary for the program.

1. Is it advisable to present such savings account where money is solely lodged for the program? Will it be considered cash lodgement?
2. Do I have to back it up with a sponsor's account?
3. Can I have my Uncle run transactions through my account to enable me build up credibility?
4. Or do I just go with him as sponsor, even as an adult with 4 years work experience and earning a comfortable salary?
5. If I go with his sponsorship, do I still have to present my own statement?
6. If I settle for the MBA, can I change my course and school when I arrive US?

NB: I currently hold a B1/B2 visa and recently returned from a 3 weeks vacation in the US

I await your kind responses

Thanks

All of you are silent readers till wahala start !! then you start looking for Prophet shey?........lol
1. provided the money is not deposited at once and shows cash flow for like six months and exceeds your I20 amount.
2.The better Bro!!
3.Yes!! apply wisdom sha
4.Going with him is also okay. Most importantly let the cash be enough for you uncle to feed his family after sponsoring you with millions get?
5. it helps but a sponsor is okay.
6. that depends on your school's policies ask your friends.

about the B1/B2 i think i can still fly... but pls confirm from the gurus

seeker88:
Thanks you so much for this secret. However, it appears most of these profs seek for PhD student only ....will I ever find such opportunity for MS student? Anyways, I will use this format n keep searching till something comes out.
Once again, thank u, I so appreciate ur suggestion n assistance.
Also, is it also good to contact grad program coordinators who are not openly seeking for RA/GA students privately via email? If yes, please what's the format of such email?

Yes Boss!!!
Some profs require MSc too.
Pls try and contact younger Profs( who finished PhD frim 2015y) they seem friendly and answer mails faster!!!.
Most if them are just tryi g to start up a Lab.
But finally na God sure pass..
Best of luck

Hi, just a few schools I know of... but I don't know any other STEM course u can go for. I guess that should be based on what ure interested in..

University of New Mexico
Texas A & M University College Station
University of Illinois Urbana Champaign
Michigan Technological University
New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology
University of Maryland Baltimore

All the best!

pls ignore the bolded total waste of money and time your GRE wont fly

seeker88:
Please can anyone kindly help with schools where I can be admitted in Mechanical Engineering with full or partial funding for Fall 2017. Funding of any form (GA, TA, RA, etc) is a priority, and the schools ranking for now doesn't matter to me.

Please, can someone also suggest other STEM courses which I can easily switch to in order to secure funding and for better job prospects after graduation? Ur assistance will be highly appreciated. I want to start applying immediately to meet up with most schools priority deadlines...

Below is a summary of my profile:
UG Degree: Petroleum Engineering
CGPA: 4.23/5.00 (3.57/4.00 after WES conversion)
GRE : 305 (154Q, 152V, AW 3.5)
TOEFL: About to write
Years of Work Experience: 3+

Don't know how to proceed now.....Please make una help me....

Chairman since you are interested in Postgraduate, what you should do immediately is to start contacting Professors.
The most effective approach is to use google to seek profs that need RA/GA or that have multiple positions for MECH/CHEM
use the phrase below to search "I am looking for self-motivated Ph.D students Mechanical"
you can thank me later.
Create a simple mail. make sure you follow the instructions on the profs personal page. (this is the most effective approach)

hw much is the matrass?

25“I strongly believe in the existence ofGod, based on intuition, observations,
logic, and also scientific knowledge.”
“Science, with its experiments and logic, tries to understand the order or structure
of the universe. Religion, with its
theological inspiration and reflection,tries to understand the purpose or meaning of the universe. These two are
cross-related. Purpose implies structure,and structure ought somehow to be
interpretable in terms of purpose.”
“At least this is the way I see it. I am a physicist. I also consider myself a Christian. As I try to understand the nature of our universe in these two modes of thinking, I see many
commonalities and crossovers between science and religion. It seems logical that in the long run the two will even
converge.”–Charles Hard Townes , who received the1964 Nobel Prize in Physics for his fundamental work in the field of quantum electronics.
