May I have you number pls . I need to talk to you

pm maybe?

it used to be Troy University back then, then everybody shifted focus to Morgan state at some point, now it is ETSU; make una suffri dey colonize these obodo oyibo schools

NB: when applying to a small , expensive private Institution, and the VO asks why this school, please don't give the crap about One Prof and research gbogbonise. Give very sane responses that would justify the thousands of dollars you want to shell out for a degree. Possible responses could include.
1. The alumni Network - you could stress some simple stats such as " 90% of alumni at xyz are consultants in the big 4 and I am hoping to benefit from this rich network in accelerating my career"
2. specialisations - several small schools have specialisations which cannot really be found anywhere and you can give response such as " the consumer behaviour stochastic modelling study at xyz which is one of kind offers new possibilities which I most definitely want to exploit"
3. Financial Aid- If you get any form of aid from the school wether merit based or otherwise, that is enough reason to pick a school as money no dey grow untop tree.
4. location and other miscellaneous factors - A college in Wyoming would be best suited for a prospective geophysical or geological student... Iowa will be best for them Agricultural Folks, and Louisiana, if youre yammering on the shale boys for oil.

good evening my pipo
help me judge this.is this a good reply when asked WHY THİS SCHOOL?
Ans:
My main motive of studying in USA is to get to the know of ways to reduce cyber crime,by catching cyber phishers so i got into a conversation with this prof in departmnt(Computer science-Cyber secuirity)
he promised he"ll pay keen attention to.this made me choose this school Which after my associate degree i"ll transfer to University of houston for my Barchelors.

chai... this your response get too much naija banter.... and again your choice of CC just put double wahala for deadi bodi
...
besides this whole contact of prof xxxx and research kpaks especially for non grad students na bunkum!

My update on NZDUSD. I am more bearish on this pair but I am anticipating
one more move up to the indicated trendline before the bigger downtrend. Therefore I
will wait to short this pair when it gets to the upper trendline indicated by the arrow. Meanwhile when price
breakout from the lower trendline too, i will gradly short it. Anyway, whichever way price decides to go
I am really ready to execute my plans.

Please if you want to join this trade, kindly practice a good and proper Risk Management.

always liked your clean chart... reminds me of anil mangal on tradingview... try publishing on trading view ...

Hello,

I need assistance on all necessary materials/advice anyone can render here. I wish to apply for a MSc programme and I've been avoiding any exam(s) till I found out the advantages as seen in the forum. I have read through the pages but I believe someone with recent information will be willing to. I beg help a brother.

For TOEFL, all you need are the speaking noteful videos, the ets toefl guide is enough to ace the exam for other sections. Just download the Toefl ETS Guide from there website and the simulation test.

Hello house, this thread is very informative. Keep up with the good work. I'm in a state of dilemma and I need some educational advice. I've written gre and toefl with scores of Q155 V 153 and 96/120 respectively. However, I was denied admission into LSU and Texas A&M for fall 2017 admission. I felt the reason is because my gre score is low and have decided to write another but I need advice on safe schools to apply to as I don't want to be disappointed again. I have a Cgpa of 4.13/5.00 in BSc Chemical engineering and would like to go for master's in chemical engineering too. Thanks as I await a speedy response

already replied on the other thread , but

if you have spare $30, you can pay for a premium account on usnews....... but if you dont mind, you can consider smaller less popular schools, like
1)University Of Alaska, Fairbanks (admit rate is 45%+)
over 70%admit rate as follows
---------------------------------
2)Oklahoma State University
3)University of Alabama Huntsville
4)university of rhode island
5)university of new mexico
6) south dakota school of mines and technology
NB: Having high acceptance rate doesn't mean they will definitely accept you, but at least the competition isn't stiff

adey2014:

Hello all
please I need a university to apply in the USA. I have 3rd Class from a Nigerian university and my family wants me to apply for a school in the USA. should i go for freshman or graduate programs? which school will be better for me? please i need answers.

The answer depends a whole lot on your Age; there are schools that will admit, and possibly give your some tuition waver if you check the other admission boxes ( Better Grades in your final year, SOP, outside classroom experience, industry people LOR etc)

The real fact is the embassy are not begging anyone to apply for visa. Restructure your country and stay put if you cannot tell them what they want to hear. It's as simple as that.

The United States is the number one destination for international students.

These VOs are paid well. They live a good life in Nigeria.

...... Jéjé l'áyé

DeeTus:
LOL! Just take it easy on her. She made a tactical mistake probably because she was tensed up. VOs are foreigners and not Nigerians. So, saying they are semi-stupid is totally as insult. Also, most of these VOs are professionals like translators, lawyers and so on even before taking up this job.

.... Abeggi... person go get work for fortune 500 or wall street, go leave am come dey do embassy attaché for 3rd world country with little career mobility.....There is nothing wrong with the reply she gave... how many prospective American grad students even know the slightest thing about life outside school and real life; yet some embassy attache' expect to be wowed by Nigerian students, like it was a Harvard business school interview. .... you don't have to agree with all I have typed.

.... placing practical hands on training as top priority and search parameter, I came by extensive info about HFC on (Peterson's) and also collegeboard, suggesting the college as the best fit me (you fit shorten your reply Sha)

Very very close. + or - 3

Thanks for the USnews account.......turns out some big schools aren't big in everything

how far is the real test score from power prep scores

francophone134:
The name of my sch is henry ford college. please help me. i dnt no the reason to give that was i brought it down to dis forum. THANKS

even though it is a community college, based on the following

Established in cooperation with industry, these programs provide theoretical and practical knowledge and the competencies required to supplement on-the-job training. Programs may vary from a single course that quickly provides specific knowledge and skills to a complete curriculum that provides comprehensive related instruction. Because the programs are employer-based, the Division operates on a plan of three consecutive 15-week semesters in fall, winter, and spring/summer to provide year-round instruction. The Division offers a variety of curricula for apprenticeable and similarly skilled industrial occupations. Each major curriculum consists of developmental, apprenticeship foundation and trade-specific foundation courses. Although generic trade-specific curricula are available for approximately 40 major industrial trade classifications, each sponsoring company can modify the curricula to meet its specific training needs.

You can say " I chose HFC, because, the college's cooperation with relevant industry to give supplementary on the job training , is best for me , being a highly dextrous individual, eager to translate every piece of theoretical knowledge into relevant work"

francophone134:
greetings gurus in the house. If am asked why i chose a particular sch, the reply is that "d sch was recomended to me by a friend who is am alumni of d sch, also wen i made research, i founded out that d rate of absentism of teacher is 0.00% and i was impressed by dat statistics. PLEASE OO IS THIS A GOOD RESPONSE? GOD BLES U ALL FOR YOUR RESPONSE

praxisnetworks:
Don't assume. I never mentioned instant investment gratification... Did I?

why else would you consider land and car

einsteino:
i would rather put my money in HYIP/PONZI than NSE.. at least i would know i open eyedly gambled my money. Real estate can pay on a short term if one has an analytical and prospective mind and a bit of luck too. i once got a 150% increase in value on a plot of land in less than a year of acquisition.

i think the biggest problem with buying land for keep sake is encroachment, most times you have to develop it asap to avoid stories that touch.

True words sir

einsteino:
you are right on that but remember the answer was given with comparison to the alternative which is a car. fixed deposits are considered investment even when their interest rate is always below inflation rate, just same way houses built for rent are considered investment despite the fact that it most times takes as much as 20yrs to break even when you factor in inflation, tax and cost of maintenance. these days except you are doing business, you lose money by just keeping money in the bank even when you invest it in treasure bills, buying shares is also not as lucrative and is a thing of chance to get a decent ROI. so my brother the gain is comparative, ie compared with the likely alternatives which wont demand your attention and risking much.

I think we agree here, that land will not provide the instant investment gratification That Praxisnetworks is seeking. and for the stock market I excluded Nigerian stock market because it is near impossible to go short(make money on a falling stock) without being an institutional investors or market maker

AntiWailer:
Land is important.


When rain start on ur way to work, run to ur land for prayers.

When u close late and bad boys meet u at the bust stop by 11pm, tell them ur land is on its way to rescue u.

Wen u kit for work and see flood, of ur shoes and socks and walk majestically on ur land.

It depends bro. If u get warra mean.

Nice use of sarcasm

einsteino:
Land is an asset that could be liquidated with a reasonable ROI when you desperately need cash. Car is a liability that depreciates, though could be a necessity and assist you in hustle if you correctly guage the cost/usable feature. the current top cars of today are definitely going to be outdated tomoro, while the land in a forest of today could be the highbrow area of tomoro.

if you are young like me, forget about showing off, only get a car if you need to.

That is a wild misconception Nigerians have about real estate, except you have choice properties, in exquisite highbrow location, it is not very easy to flip real estate for real profit, and some times even finding a buyer (especially in a recession ) would take a miracle.
E.G, (Hypothetically) I bought a land at mowe for 2 million at the year 2000, that is 17 years ago. with an adjusted inflation of 10% a year, 2 million would be worth 10 million now, and adjusting currency value (considering that the naira is worth shit now in purchasing value), the adjusted value becomes 20 million (100% fall in currency value), adding property tax and land use charge amongst other things we arrive at 25 million. Except you sell the land for 30 million or more ( that is if, anyone would buy a mowe land for 30 million) you really have made no profit , even though in he eyes of a lay man, 30-2 =28.

people who are shouting land up and down probably know nothing about investment, except you own a land already, Buying a land in Nigeria and hoping for accidental development to shoot property prices is a risky gamble with odds that are not as great as they used to be. Buy a reliable car at sensible cost and look for other ways you can invest your cash ; there are mutual funds, T.Bills and Bonds for conservative investors, then there's the stock market(global, not naija ooh), leveraged markets, futures and ETF, for the wild child. Don't buy a land hoping to cash out, the recession is biting hard, and inflation coupled with currency value may put your PE at 2 decades or more, that is if Nigeria even gets better.

I really wanna appreciate God almighty for everything. I have been on this journey since part6 (2014) but my visa was denied three times, so I had to take up other alternatives here by working at my place of work till God will say YES,. I also applied to Canada last year (Brandon University, Masters in Environmental & Life science) but visa was denied after 9weeks for Travel history & insufficient funds. All I believe is God's time will always be the best.. (Story for another day before Oga justwise go vex)
