University of Warwick......
How do they evaluate someone's Gpa in usa schools sef?

Warwick? Quite expensive. Well with respect to evaluation, her undergraduate school will have to send her transcript to an evaluation agency, make necessary payments, then the agency will send the evaluation to the school she is applying into.

No be small thing Ooo. Only God knows what's wrong with most of these commercial banks self.....imagine, ordinary password for internet banking, I don spend more than three 3weeks...

hahahahaha ur own case na serious matter. 3weeks? No naaaa. It shouldn't be. Na to check their office be dat.

dickoflife:
Me no even send anybody again.m thunder strike all the dollar notes inside bank.. Imagine mae we customers no fit buy dollars but bros u don old so oo. Haba 10 years ? My account is 1 year six months and 14 days.

Better thunder wey go strike them still dey gym for olympics before him go strike them. No be small ooo. i opened the account in 2004, yet they get mind open mouth they tell me na for "exclusive" accounts. Seems i will open an account with Stanbic then operate with the account for like 3months. Hope it works.

Seems I will withdraw myself from my bank (Diamond bank). Just called to see if I could get PTA from them considering I have banked with them for more than 10yrs and all they said is they only give to those with "exclusive" accounts. So regular customers like we no dey their agenda. Rabbiisshhh!!! Seems I'll jzt try Stanbic.

Good morning house, visa denied on monday july 11th with no documents asked which i would ve attributed the denial to. The VO was only contesting the schl i applied to study and he was referring me to another school. He said the school has a better course work in my course.

When i did my findings on the school i was referred to, i discovered the school offers ORGANIZATIONAL DYNAMICS and not ORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATION which i applied to study. I work as HR personnel in my organization and the course i applied to study is well rooted in my field.

My question is this, can i book for another appointment for another interview so as to make my case known becos the school resumes in August 10th?

Pls Gurus kindly advice.

Oga, post your transcript first so that people can point out your error. There could be other reasons why you were denied. Just post the full transcript.

A friend of mine had Cgpa 1.95 bachelor's in Nigeria she's going to UK for masters does that chances happen in USA?

lonelyhrt, Its slightly possible. Thats only if she evaluates her transcript. Well UK is not bad. Which school in the UK?

adebayoolatunji:
Please guys I need to further my education in USA. I studied pure and applied physics. I graduated with 2.96/5.0. What are my chances of getting admitted for a PGD program in a related course.

adebayoolatunji, the best advice I will give you is look for schools that accept 2.7 or 2.5 then evaluate your transcript. Then also write GRE and do very well and you will get admitted to run a Masters. That's the best advice I will give. No need thinking of PGD. Running a Masters is possible if u evaluate ur transcript,write GRE and also look for safe schools.

OlowoB:
when is your school resuming? There is express visa application of 5 working days although you will have to pay extra for that.

Let me also apologise to you fizzle, i just saw the mail you sent to me since jun 27. No vex abeg, i don't use this Nairaland mail too often.

School resumes on the September 26. Hope it won't be late applying first or second week of September. Like how much is the express visa application? The way this exchange is just changing eeehhh. Make e kukuma dey one place naa.
No problem boss. Please how do I get the proper mail u use often. Cos mostymz I might just want to get some info. Will appreciate.

Guys, please i wana ask. Will it be late to apply for my visa by first week of September? I have to top up my account and restart the 28days counting and that should start by next week hopefully. Will it be late please?
cc: OlowoB, Justwise

OlowoB:
@fizzle, @ bolded is wrong sir. A legal guardian is accepted but a very difficult route. Infact, i don't know of anyone who has successfully used this route in Nigeria.

Thats why am trying to discourage him from taking that route. Its better using a safe route. Hope am speaking your mind.

gunther6:
Nope it is not required for a US student visa holder at Stanbic

Gunther6,so u mean one can get PTA easily at Stanbic without a return ticket. Does one have to open an account with them? And like how long did it take them to give you PTA?

dannyabba:
I don't know so much about using guardian's other than parents. If it's your parents, I believe that should be fine as long as you provide a letter from them giving their consent to sponsor you, as well as your birth certificate.
For guardians other than blood parents, I'm afraid I don't know. It might be safer to move it to your own account. But maybe justwise or OlowoB can shed more light...

The best thing is for his guardian to move the money into his account and then start counting another 28days. They don't accept anything guardian.

[quote author=geomustee post=47583225][/quote]They don't accept guardians. It must be ur parents or your personal account. So its better u ask ur guardian to move the money to your own account.

Surdycole2:
oook thanks sir, pls will £1500 will be enough for all these?

Its only possible when you have a miracle working G0D

@dannyabba.
That's not true please. You have to pay atleast the
first instalment on your offer letter to indicate that
you have accepted the admission.

Fortissimo:
How far? I just collected it yesterday. Rate was N284 plus 1% commission.

wooww nice one. What's d procedure and how long did it take? cc fortissimo

MrsF:
Monitoring spirit!!!!!! Loll

Meehhnn no be small oooo before water pass garri

Hey guys,I will like to know how these transfer works. Is it when you have a UK account and you can then transfer your pounds to a Naira bank account in Nigeria? Please I wl appreciate some insight.
cc: justwise,dustydee,claremont.

As at this morning, Oanda rate is about 371.279 for a pound. I just pray it stabilizes to about 365,370.

These days na soo soo silent followers dey post transcript but they no go contribute any other thing to the thread. Silent silent silent. Una try.

worry359:
Beginning of good life for those in Great Britain and paid in Pounds Sterling!

And bad life for some of us that have either started the 28days counting or about to start.

Meehhnnn the pounds is beginning to climb like what i don't know. As at this morning, it has moved from 368 to 373. Which kind life be this?

MrsF:
Access bank is yet to give me a telex copy after almost 2 months so you can cross that out of your list of banks

Your telex copy should be ready long ago oooo. If possible request to see the Manager. If possibly complain and tell them you have no choice but to call the head office. They go fear. Am so pissed at how some of these bankers behave.

coleva:
Guys, please which bank can one use now to pay school fees

You can check Union bank. Make sure you plead with the person incharge to assist you process immediately. Establish a good relationship with he or she. Hope you are using Form A

MrsF:
I would say its safer to transfer the money into your own personal account since yu have your own and you are above 18 it would make things easier and not complicate your application atleast thats what most people here have done and have gotten their visas. Transfer the money and let in be in your account untouched for 28 days.

MrsF does it mean its not right for someone above 18 to be sponsored by parents? Afterall there made provision for a parent to write a letter authorizing the students.

dopetv:
Hello House,
I just got Admission into a School in the Uk. would I be Needing an IELTS English Language Test? For Visa Application


Thanks

Most schools will require you to have atleast a credit in English in your O-level.

Pelaiye2703:
Good morning fellas, I do appreciate the good work and efforts immersed here, may God continue to bless you all. I am an HND graduate in urban and regional planning with lower credit, 2.7 cgpa to be precise. So my chances of getting an M.sc is kinda slim (based on my findings).
I want to apply as a transfer student into undergraduate program and later proceed for my M.sc program.

Did anyone have an idea how possible that is, or the best thing to do in lieu of my decision?

Secondly, do i have a chance to get full tuition waiver or scholarship based on my past familiarity with the course?

Cc: Oludare01, Lagosismyhome, Texrem, Aadeyi, Dickoflife, Walspring, Fizzile, Gunther, Deetus, Mevesbleek, Rheenah, Mznas, etc. In short i call on everybody, please help a brother. As I don tey for this thread no be todae..#THANKS

I will advice you to search for some schools that accept low GPA of 2.5 or 2.6 then prepare well for toefl and have atlease 300 and above. Believe me ur gpa is not that bad. If evaluated, it will possibly move up. So remove that impression that your chances are slim. Check these schools:
1. Cal state university, L.A
2. Cal state university, East Bay
3. Cal state university, Dominquez hills
4. University of Texas, El Paso
5. University of South Alabama
6. West Texas A&M
7. South East Missouri State University.
These schools accept GPA of 2.5, 2.7 depending on ur course. Write or call the graduate coordinator in the department and get a few information. Also check the requirements.
Hope it helps. Don't lose hope my brother, your GPA is not as bad as u think
But i must emphasize, WRITE GRE !!!! cos it will really help,even when it comes to funding.
All the best to you.

VISA APPROVED TODAY IN LAGOS
Apology please i talk alot.

The journey that started about 18months ago was consolidated today with the approval of my F1 visa.
Got to the embassy by 5:10am and those agents surrounded me but I was just using them to catch fun. Took out time to educate some gullible guys that wanted to fall for their trap.
I was so confident, I think my confidence level was 99.9%.

Well, we passed through all the check-in and some guys were turned back for offences ranging from DS160 barcode to sevis receipt. Some did not even have the right documents.

Fastforward, we got inside and I just dey form oversabi dont mind me. The lady was like you folded your i-20 and sevis receipt already
So after all the initial gragra, I finally joined the queue, was the 10th person.
Turned on the pastor mode, no be small thing o
( praying in the holy ghost)
Three Vos came and interviews started. They were just dishing out denial like gift.
See guys froming fake american accent, no be small thing o
Gbam, so i was interviewed by the lady in window 7, the babe before me was also approved.
My approval was the third
Here is the conversation
Me – Good Morning
VO – Pass me your documents
VO- Why are you going to the US?
Me- I am going to the US to pursue my masters degree in Chemistry with a concentration in analytical and environmental chemistry at Tennesee Tech University, Cookeville.
VO- what do you currently do?
Me- I just concluded my NYSC where i taught chemistry in a secondary scvhool. I also volunteered as a radio presenter
VO- (looks at me for the first time) What will you do after your studies?
Me- Few weeks ago, the FG launched a $10m clean up of oil spill in Ogonni land in the Niger Delta.
I plan to return to Nigeria to help in environmental remediation and fighting environmental pollution,
I will take up lecturing jobs in Nigerian Universities, I wanna be a Prof of Chemistry
VO- (looks at me) i will be approving your VISA. Then i became deaf temporarily.
Be confident, I was so confident and eloquent. Didn't do any rehearsal atall, maybe cos I've been reading transcripts here and I did the whole application myself.

Thanks to everyone here,you guys are doing a great job.

No point having someone weak as leader of the country!
Britain has another "Iron Lady"
In fact this one is probably tougher than Thatcher!

Merkel need not think she is going to bully this one!

So apart from the fact that she is firm as a leader of the country, what's do International students seek to benefit in the nearest future? And what impact will it have on the cost of living,housing and jobs in the UK?

Please for those that voted BREXIT, please kindly explain the benefits and relate it with having Theresa May as the new PM. cos from the stories i have heard, that woman is tough.
