@decreamaster You've got mail...

Pls, does anyone on this thread know of any F1 visa applicant who has been successful with paying SEVIS fee via Western Union directly from Nigeria? With WU opening out-bound transfers from Nigeria, I presume that should be possible. Right?

Life will always present dilemmas such as the stated, but you should know that in the long run, it is self- qualities that gets one established. I will not help you make a choice because I believe there is no right or wrong option in this case. Follow your heart. If you feel a 2.1 is worth the extra months in school, by all means stay.

Hello guys,

Pls, how does one pay for SEVIS fee with the new CBN policy allowing Nigerians send money via Western Union? Surely, I do not think one needs to travel to SEME border anymore.

Hello guys,

Can someone help me with information regarding registering for the GMAT? Are Nigerians allowed to register online with the use of credit cards?

Thanks.

Pls, can anyone help me with an explanation of the registration process for the SAT? How do Nigerians get registered?

Thanks.

These artworks are simply awesome. I would love to see what he could do with a paintbrush.

A colleague of mine got this fictitious call as well just this morning. The caller also gave the same details posing as an old acquaintance. Thank God for this thread on Nairaland with which I was able to quickly verify that it was a looming scam.

You have come up with some strong points. The only thing you may want to do is to bring these points up as early as you can. You don't want to wait till when the V.O ask you that, you can actually force him/her to dance to your tune.

Why did you choose the school?

Remind the VO that the United States recently just declared Boko Haram as a terrorist group. Your thesis is going to be on security, intelligence gathering and counter-terrorism using Nigeria as a case-study. You will be working with Prof. XXXX who's a renowned Prof. of Criminology in the US. The result of your research would be included in your thesis, and you plan on submitting your recommendations to the Nigeria State Security Service, Nigeria Police Force and the Nigeria Army. Ultimately, you look forward to working with the Nigeria State Security Service upon graduation.

Every other thing seems to be in order except that you want to tell the VO you were accepted in all the schools you applied to but chose SJUP because of your research interest. Good luck and I wish you a happiest and merry xmas.

An answer worthy of encomium. SMART!

Lynbrook: ONGOING ADMISSION IN ZENITH UNIVERSITY COLLEGE JANUARY SECTION!!!!

During my years of schooling in ghana, i have realised dat it is easier to get admission into Ghanaian universities compare to those in Nigeria. I have been schooling in ghana for more than 3years and i want to use this as an avenue to help those that have suffered the issue of our JAMB Exams...

I am presently in Zenith University. I will be of help2 any1 who has intentions of schooling in Ghana...

The credentials are listed below:
1. Waec/Neco Result with pass in math, English and agricultural science and any other 3 courses.

2.Original birth certificate from your local government

3.Scanned passport.

4.Testimonial from your high school if you have one.

5. You will also need an ECOWAS passport wen coming to Ghana but that will not be needed for the admission.

That is all u need for the admission.....

THE INTERESTING FACT IS THAT THERE IS NO JAMB OR UNIVERSITY EXAM BEFORE ADMISSION, ALL U NEED IS YOUR WAEC OR NECO RESULT...AND AGAIN YOUR ADMISSION IS ASSURED IF ONLY YOU GET THE NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS

For more information you can reach me on:
Jorge +233540837589 or Schwartzdulwich@gmail.com

Tell a friend or relative. Thanks for your time...

I'm not really familiar with universities in Ghana but I'll advice any student hopeful of securing admission to Ghanaian schools to conduct proper research. Not all her institutions are applaudable.

Here is a link to get started.

canrelocate: Most master's program in Canada are partly funded by the Government, so selection are mostly based on merit and competition is usually tough too because more and more people are applying from other countries too with veru high CGPA; if you meet the requirement and can package a good application (research statement/statement of intent) you might be chosen.

Whatever is being recommended to you, be sure to do your own personal research on possible job opportunities when making a choice of course and school to attend - a simple online research would help. From experience, I know your past job experience is a stronger factor in getting a job with a Masters degree than your Masters degree certificate.

Also, it's important to know what are your chances of integrating into Canada as a permanent resident (if you want to) when making your choices - that is a very important thing to consider/know too if going the student route.

I intend pursuing my masters program in engineering in Canada. But I'm skeptical about the job prospects one has upon completion of the degree. I once chatted with a Chinese guy online. This guy came over from China to get a masters degree in engineering in Canada. After finishing his course, he told me he spent about 6 months before he got his current job. He added that engineering companies are quite few ( mostly oil companies) in Canada unlike the US. A lot of engineering graduates leave Canada and migrate to the US to source for jobs because of the few opportunities inherent in Canny. Can engineering graduates living and working in canada comment on this so we can have a foresight of what'shappening over there?

Guys, what's TRV and at what stage is it required? I'm still at the 'preparing for GRE stage' but I'll like to understand each and every step as I follow through the thread.

batteryempty: Hey, just in case you need a date on December 6, 7, 14, & 20 in Abidjan, Cote d' Ivoire let me know.

This same dates are also available in Douala and Yaounde, Cameroon.

I will be traveling to Abidjan on December 3rd, you are welcome to join me in the adventure if you are under the time contraints to get you exam written on or before December 20 which is the last date for all ets exams anywhere in the world!

NOTE: Benin Republic is fully booked for the next 3 months and the nearest dates in Accra and Kumasi (Ghana) is 11th of January..... So make your bookings now and go get that dream of yours.

When is the last date for registration for the GRE exam as against the December 20 test date?

Pls, do canadian universities give consideration to GRE scores? Going for engineering.

Hi guys, what's the status with ETS regarding the close up of nigerian centres? Any hope some centres will be reopened this year? I'm preparing for the GRE but yet to register.

gracious17: My school offered me an assistantship with full tuition waiver just few days before my visa interview, I hv my I-20 already before the award was given. Gurus, will the soft copy of the letter of the assistantship be enough for the VO, hw do u I present it to VO.

Though the school is sending the hard copy but I will get it after the interview date because of time constraint.

Your advice is needed!

Congratulations on your tuition funding. Did you apply for graduate studies? If so, what school? I'm still searching for schools to apply to who are benevolent when it comes to awarding scholarships. Expecting ur reply.

Hi guys,

Just heard about this thread today. Never knew it existed. I've been nursing the ambition of studying for my masters degree in Canada for some time now. I was preparing for the GRE before the cancellation of testing centres in Nigeria. Paused my preparations but may have to pick it up again. I graduated with a second class lower in mechanical engineering in 2010 but finished strongly with a CGPA of 4.49 from my final two years in the university. Pls, what are my chances of funding and who knows of good schools in canada who are generous with scholarships?

Thanks.

Hello guys,

I've been following this thread for a few weeks now. I was preparing for the GRE before the unfortunate closure of all nigerian centres. Anyway, i'm not letting that derail my goal of bagging my master's degree from an American / Canadian University. My question goes thus:
Is a letter of reference from your undergraduate school absolutely compulsory? I mean having to travel back to school to begin re-acquainting myself with lecturers is not that easy.I graduated about 3¹/₂ years ago with a degree in Mecahanical Engineering. Can't i just get a letter or reference from my place of work or from instructors who have tutored me on one professional course or the other?

ASOMGAB: Helo guys, i'm idowu damilola emmanuel by name, i'm an ex remite in d just concluded remedial, i'm here 2 guide u pple through and to answer all ur questions on remedial admission, i studied History and int'l studies in rems of which 2day i am now a student in d institution even without writing postjamb, d programme is quite interestin, awaiting ur questions,

Hey damilola, I have a younger brother who just registered for the remedial program. Pls, how does one get to fill the citizenship form? He hails from Kogi but resides in Lagos. Also, do u know the criteria used in shortlisting students for the program? Thanks.

FutureDon: Hi Femi, it would be an arduous task to specifically give you names of ''good schools'' as you didn't state your stats.

The best approach is to peruse individual graduate program's website. The availability and requirement for assistantships are usually stated on such websites. However, if any of such information is ambiguous, you can contact the program coordinator directly.

Good luck with the 'infamous' GRE. You might want to start from here:

petersons.com/graduate-schools.aspx
gradschools.com/

Thanks for the advice and the URL links. I'm looking at Mechanical Engineering. Anyone on the thread knows of schools that award graduate students scholarships or assistant positions based on GRE scores?

Hey guys,

I'm preparing to write my GRE in December. Looking at Fall 2014 for masters admission. Not really decided on any school yet. Pls, who knows of good schools in US or Canada who offer international students scholarships (not necessarily full) or assistantship positions based on GRE scores?

Thanks.

Pls, are we to expect a third admission list? If so, within what timeframe is it to be released?

If you have a job that pays you over N200k a month, then you should probably think deeply before resigning. If you are so eager to have your Master's degree, why don't u study for it in Nigeria or enroll for online masters. You can study for a second master's degree in the US if you wish when the opportunity better presents itself.
