ok, please what department?

Am in a similar situation now and really confused.
My department has reviewed my application and found me academically eligible but cannot admit me yet until a supervisor signs my form.
I have secured a supervisor but he refused to sign until he gets his grant decision this April.
I want the funding too but the wait for his decision is almost killing me.
He asked me if i require funding which i said yes, but told him i will still work with him if his funding does not come. But he has not replied me yet.

Pls anyone in M.Sc Env. Sci MUN or has anyone applied there for fall and has gotten adission letter?
For those there, do i really require supervisor funding diff from the department own since its a research based course?
Should i keep on waiting till whenever he get his funding?
Pls i need ur response quickly

An admission process that takes approx 1 month with a supervisor might take up to 3 months without a supervisor and the applicant might still end up being denied admission. That was my case in 2013 but one thing paid me off,PERSISTENCE...i kept in touch with my supervisor from that 2013 for 2 years and eventually ended up with him 2 years after, in 2015.

I'll advise you to spread your tentacles to other schools not just one or two, that way your chances of getting a positive response are increased. A few guys contacted me then when I mentioned about the opportunities though it's not automatic. I'll keep my ears open though incase if something comes up.

Wishing you all the best in your pursuit, it's not an easy one but worth it at the end.

Thanks

i did my medicals in Maitama, roughly 40k and Biometrics in the visa application center, 2nd floor Abuja shoprite.

Hello pls where did you do your medicals in Abj and biometrics and how much, i want to also apply from here.

dddrexjr:
i applied online through an agent who resides in Ontario, my job was just to send my docs, did my medicals and Biometrics in Abuja, paid all the fee.
i applied with my year one transcript 'studied petroleum and gas engineering in China' plus waec and all the necessary docs

Thanks I really appreciate

A decision is normally made at MUN after the closing date for application and acceptance of supporting documents

In your case I suppose the deadline is February, so expect a decision from March next year as the SGS has said

Thanks for the reassurance but I would still want know the maximum period to expect the admission from MUN, so that I can know my chances early if to apply to other schools and when I start preparing for TRV, since someone in this forum said we can apply very early even if it is September next year, please seniors in the house I want your help ooo, please.

its good u have a potential supervisor already. The funding will usually cover your tuition and a monthly stipend for upkeep/books. So no worries!

Thanks that's so reassuring but please seniors in the house, I want to still when to expect the admission decision to come, so that I can start planning for TRV or if I should apply to other schools. please oooo the SGS is telling me next year by March - April before I can know my faith.

Thanks

Helo pple ... i have been following for a while now although i didn't register initially! please i really want to know 1) how long it took u guys that applied to MUN to be replied about your admission status, i applied for fall 2016 Env. Sci (Thesis based and i have a potential supervisor already) my supporting documents got there oct 6th
2) what the funding given by the department covers because i don't have my own personal money to sponsor myself, am really hoping for full schorlarship (i graduated with 4.39/5.0)

Ok.....so I started following this trend recently. I applied for SOWP and I got my TRV. I know most people here are applying for study permit, but just to encourage those that have spouses that would like to apply in the future.
Application.......Aug 12th
Biometrics.........Aug 14th
Medical Request mail.........September 21st
Medical done...........September 22nd
Medical passed.........September 25th
Passport Request.........October 7th
Approval mail.....October 13th

Its not by my power, its all my God's grace.. To all TRV hopefuls, keep holding on to God and let him be the center of it all. Your TRVs will be approved.
