Good morning all, I want to use this opportunity to specially thank God almighty for his grace and favor in the course of my US movement.
Me: University of Lagos.
Types for 5seconds and asks me to pick my visa in 3 days, I didn't expect it. It didn't last up to a minute and he didn't look at me once throughout, he was just typing and asking the questions. I was waiting for questions like "Who's paying"?,"What school and what course?", "What do you do now?. etc.
I'm very happy. I was confident and very calm this time because not being calm cost me at my last interview. I was the first person issued a white paper today at the Lagos Consulate as that guy in front of me was still with that fresh VO guy and so was the girl behind him. Thanks to everyone for their encouraging transcripts and words. It's God at the end of it all, I prayed to God and emptied my pocket in church last Sunday and told God to help me this week and he did. Let me stop my epistle here, sorry I'm used to writing epistles.

Congrats!!!

Chapecoense:

Kingbukaz:
okay bro. Please can you help me with list of schools that does not require tuition fee deposit?

Hope no deposit of tuition won't be am issue during visa interview?

Just check through all the visa transcripts on this forum and choose those schools...

Zeng:
Really? Which schools.

https://www.niche.com/colleges/rankings/colleges-with-no-application-fee/

Focus on the universities only

Zeng:
Thanks.

Will my applying to only one university also pose a challenge?

Apply to those schools with free application na... To feel comfortable finito.

OGreene:
Travelstart is okay. I have used them

Noted Boss

Kingbukaz:
Please Fam, does schools In America require One to pay tuition fees before getting his 1-20 form?

Some schools require you to pay some deposit..
But its not the Norm. What if a student pays and VISA is delayed or one decides to change school...

OluDare01:
He applied to Gatech, UVA, University of Nevada Reno and Tennessee tech.
Only Nevada admitted him but no funding. He's going to Hong Kong instead

Hong Kong is Nice and Modern plus they have exceptional professionals.... But quite expensive I heard. Only if he could chill and choose schools wisely...
Anyways best of luck to him...

But 327? Chai....

To those interested...
Abuja to JFK Egypt Air.
Disclaimer: just for guidance, carry out you own findings.
Even a flight to Abuja is like 23k + 215k = 248k
LoL..

Except the 215k is not accurate or they are giving us a different exchange rate.
Anybody familiar with TravelStart pls help the house..

SEVIS + Quickpay (Western Union) + Fist Bank still possible?

Congrats to #TeamFall2017
It seems we are breaking RECORDS!!

chuksGilb:
I have no doubt benefitted immensely from this forum. Thank you to everyone. My Visa was approved 18/5/2017 at the VI consulate. I hope this helps someone as much as some of the transcripts I saw prior to my interview helped me.

Chemistry and Funding!!
Congrats!!

Hello everyone.

Congrats!!!

slimmy2005:
Please, help. Gurus in the house.

I laugh in French....

kokoboy4life:
Good Day to Everyone fantastic job you people are doing on here, I need someone to enlighten me on this school funding because am yet to get my admission granted but I have sent all the necessary documents to them, so my question is: will school confirm the funding for me before admission is granted or after the processing of my I-20 Letter.

All depends on the school Bro...
But it could:
1. Come with the admission letter
2. It could come via your prospective profs weeks after you get admission.
3. You could be on a waiting list and then get an offer later.
However if your I20 is sent before the offer comes then you might have to request a new I20 reflecting the funding.
But if yoybare out of time you can take the offer letter with you for the interview and explain yourself.

Congrats....

3.33/4.00 on WES.

Do you mean publish academic papers or would non-academic books that I have already written do as well?

Nice GPA...
Academic papers please, they show research prospects (No matter how simple).
There are lots of journals that you can publish in for free...

Good day everyone,

I want to use this medium to appreciate everyone here that helped in one way or the other the last time i visited here. Unfortunately, my American dream has been postponed to 2019. I have been awarded the European Union Erasmus Mundus Scholarship to study Quantitative Economics (MSc) and i hope to pursue the American dream in 2019 for PhD of course. Lol. Here is my brief profile:

BSc: Statistics
CGPA: 3.81
Again I say a big Thank you.

Tiri Gbossa Boss!!

Onicemus:
Right now , as I'm typing this success transcript down, im on my knees, I feel like crying, I feeling like jumping, but I know for sure that I'm really grateful to the almighty God for what he did today, I got to the embassy like some minutes before 7.. appointment was by 7:30.. @ abuja embassy... was nervous because for a while I've not seen a transcript from abuja.... fast forward....
...

Congrats Bro!!!!

Mac2016:
3.47

Cool...
Pls check out your GPA equivalent on WES website so you get an idea what your GP is on the 4point scale.
Then you would search for safe schools that match your profile.
Also you would have to try and publish some papers even if its free just to be more competitive...

Mac2016:
I have spent money on applications which I got many but no funding, I am tired but still dont want to give up on this school thing. Also, I want to minimize my expenditure on application fee and transcript sending by having targeted schools that sure grant GA.

I want to study Msc or Msc/PhD Civil Engineering.

Please guys, which schools can I apply too for best assurance on securing GA with my scores below?;

GRE = 311 (Quant = 158, Verbal = 153 and AW = 3.5)
Toefl = 101

Your suggestion would be held in high honors

Be strong your profile make sense...
Your GPA?
And what schools did you apply to?

slimmy2005:
I just received my I-20. Whats the next step.

You no Well....

Originalsly:
To each his own... if NYC is the worst... why does it attract the most visitors? If you are like a racist.... a White Supremist... then I can agree with you because NYC is one big melting pot.... you just can't avoid other races... they are always in your face.... and your very own will give you he'll for being a racist. Besides that... what else does those cities have to offer that NYC doesn't? ...Walmart? For every one interesting you can name in any of those cities...NYC has at least 5 more options. Las Vegas... if I don't like gambling nor the strip shows.... tell us what else we can do there ...in the middle of the desert.

On Point!!

Hello house, new here. Asking on behalf of a colleague.

1. Can a 39 year old apply for masters program in the states. Will the age be a barrier.
2. Does making a deposit for the tuition increase once chance of securing the visa.
3. Any school in mind that offers masters admission to HND students?

Thank you!!

For HND peeps you have to do a WES evaluation to convert your Result to a BSc format. Finito!!
