don't be deceived, its not Paypal that decide the exchange rate, its your bank card. So far, I've heard FCMB exchange rate is better. GTbank is 270.

Really sad man, all this banks are greedy indeed.

Also, do they offer assistantships before the WES evaluation or after. Any body with experience? Or in Arkansas little rock.? Team US ...where we @

bbdd:
You're going to have to wait till you take GRE, then you reevaluate.
UT Austin, you're going to need a score above 320. It's tough but doable if you're good.

I feel u Man.. GRE. is no joke..but we good..

biikeys:
Your GRE score will obviously determine to a large extent what schools you can get into. But you can check the following out:

UT Austin-top
UT Dallas, UT Arlington-mid
Texas tech-safe

With a PhD application, you will most likely get funding in any of those. MSc will depend on faculty funding/Professor...

thanks Bro....Austin is Hot... I have to score like 330. lol

@HOUSE
pls what is the exchange rate for PayPal? I am about to cut my leg and pay for my GRE exam....
I see N240 on local banks but Google gives me N199. So am not sure of the amount PayPal would charge * N199 or 240.
Any body who just payed for GRE with PayPal please help out.....thanks..

udeyokay:
What's name of your school?
Let's see. I think there are some schools that waive application fee for some students

Application fee is not the problem, am talking about uploading GRE scores....without paying 25 dollars per school thanks

@house
Please are there schools where you can apply for Admission with an uploaded GRE Score?
or has anyone used this approach.

At least for the admission process... I don't see myself dashing ETS $25 not to talk of Application fees....

lastly, do i really need TOEFL to secure GA/TA etc..... especially when it is waived for admission..

Glocal1:
I also had a not- too- good experience with JKK, dey didn't allow me take d list of schs to which I wish to send my scores after d test. However, I wish to try another center in lag d next time I rewrite. U can also try d apostolic faith or french connection centers in lag.

The way things are going, I might go with apostolic faith for obvious reasons fall 2016 will soon close whew....

Glocal1:

But how good should my skills be before i can land a job....I mean what kind of skills are recruiters looking for.

Hi guys, a friend of mine just received a test invite for a Software testing graduate trainee opportunity (Tezza Business Solutions ).. the guy no wan enter one CHANCE ooh..
So pls house does has anybody have an idea about the company? Their office is at Bode Thomas Street, Surulere, Lagos.

abkab:
I would love to provide answers to your queries but I am no longer in the ANDELA system so I think @bamoza and @IamGodzilla or @erza should help you. @e is often here and I'm sure he'd answer your questions if he sees this. @e is director of recruitment.
Let me however chip in these few points...
1. Start to think in Naira, you are in Nigeria.
2. You'd get a fixed amount during the training irrespective of the exchange rate of the dollar at that time. At that point, you are a D0 on the skill tree. You would grow from being a D0 to D1 to D2 and so on till you become a ninja.
3. Your pay would continue to rise with your progress on the skill tree. Andela gets about half what similar companies in the US or Canada get for doing same job for their clients probably because they don't trust Africans yet to do same quality of work. That should give you an idea of what would trickle down to you.
4. You have options to choose from after the 4years. You can decide to stay and work with Andela or decide to move to client side and work with some of their clients full time or build your own StartUp (Andela would help you with this also) or do whatever you like.

Can't help you with how lucrative the skills are. Be assured you would become a world class developer if you work at it. By the way, how lucrative is the course you studied at school?

Thanks for the reply bro!! Am truly honoured!!
I like your answers....My course is lucrative thats why am asking these questions Naaa!!! just don't want to make the wrong decision...I just prefer Coding (more Dynamic!! )

Icecream4U:
nice question.

YEss BOss but no ANSWER!!
Nairaland Family!! help ooo
No be to just go Interview OOHHH!!

@EZRA abeg help with my queries if you can!!

Guys, here are my queries and thoughts.. any body in the house can help me out abeg!!

1. Andela's boot Camp would obviously be awesome!! i guess this part is free!!
2. They would train guys on four major technologies for 3 to five months: Mongo, Express.js , Angular.js and Node.js and others as required right?
3.In that period, fellows get about $500(not bad for a 3-5 month training)

Now the real worries!!...
4. They take you on an Full time job Offer! for only four years? while you work and learn right?no wahala
5.What would be the payment package for this four years??... i hope its not the same $500?!! that would be slavery not outsourcing!!
Andela is an international Startup. Atleast, coders should smile home with atleast $800 - $1000(starting) a month.. cheaper than even half of what an international developer would earn per month (thise guy earn atleast 40,000 per year do the maths)
6. how lucrative are these skills after they let you go.. boys are not young oooo !! >> any coder in the house, please help us understand here abeg..
7. Are there really cool jobs that pay Nigerians who have these skills?because after the four years na OYO ooohh!!!

Disclaimer: I strongly believe that ANDELA has started a great initiative especially for Nigeria!! our Leaders should be ashamed of themselves>>
however its important that we understand what we are getting into.

OGA MIKKYANGEL please can i get a CLEAN MINI LAPTOP from you? a close pal needs one
