dickoflife:

For real? What are your reasons?

AgreatMan:
Really sorry about this especially after the long wait.

Not a good one. Really devastated here. I just have to bounce back nd look at alternatives.

dickoflife:
michigan will take u. sont worrym me sef na mich i dey go

Meehhnn make them do make I know my bearing. I wan try Alcorn Uni,and Alabama a&m. But I wonder why this oyibo people no dey look PGD.

And my worst fears came to reality. 2 rejects from Cleveland state and Minnesota state univ,mankato. What are my chances of getting an acceptance from Michigan Tech nd Troy. Am dead confused. Probably they didn't consider my PGD. Feels like the world is crumbling on me.

AgreatMan:
how far? These guyz frustrating u with this their admission ish o. Don't worry, give me ur name, department and school; lemme check the admission list for you. I sure say ur name go dey VC's list, just make sure u hv ur acceptance fee n keep my 50k runz money. Keep another $500 wey we go take organize chics or gay boyz for the admission committee, who tell u say corruption no dey yankee.

But jokes apart, and with no malicious intent whatsoever; can I bribe a yankee prof for grades? I feel it should be very possible. Besides, it is an open secret that those guyz used to pass student atheletes. What u think?

hahahahaha omor u don kill me with laugh. That kind VC list for obamaland. Hahaha.. Cheeeiii u don remind me when my I been see my name for civil engineering back then in school...during registeration my name disappear enter another department. Mysterious aiiii. Omor everytn is possible.

I certainly do understand, abeg forget they are still making their decision call them this people sef be human being dem dey make mistake even forget sef, Holudarey1 can testify to that. Call them

Tell me about his story. Will sure call them today.

gunther6:
Di****n no one here can tell for sure but I guess what you need is reassurance, why don't you mail/call your grad school and ask for an update on your status.

yeah ur so right. Awaiting decision from them anyway,but u know how these things can be psychologically.

Hey guys,have asked this severally but no one wants to give me an answer. Do US universities consider a PGD in a case where one has a low Undergraduate GPA. Is there any room for a combination or something?

fizzile:
Gurus,in terms of admission decisions...how can a high pgd gpa affect a low undergraduate gpa? Do they tend to consider it? Can it in any way supplement or boost in admission decisions?

Guys make una ansa me naaaa

I recently converted my Nigerian drivers license to the US one and having a Nigerian license helps you to skip having a learner's permit first before the actual license if you didn't have your out of country license and you were applying as a fresh driver. I was actually in Virginia yesterday where I bought my new car from a dealership. I obtained mine in Maryland, and Virginia and Maryland being border states I guess the process will be similar. As one who's converting their out of country license, you would first take the 3 hour drug and alcohol class, take the test and pass it. You can take the class online at your convenience and whenever you're ready to take th test, go to the nearest drug and alcohol test center near you and take the test. They charge about $50 or so to take the test but you'll only pay after you've passed the test. You'll be given your certificate valid for 1 year from the date you passed.

Next you go to the nearest MVA near you for the online skills test. You'll need your original SSN card, proof of address here (if you have a bank account, you can print out one of the monthly account statements bearing your address, that should work), proof of lawful status (your I-20, I-94, etc.), proof of identity (your international passport) etc. Make sure you go with all required documents. Also, is your drivers license the original one? As in straight from Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Nigeria that bears the embossed seal of FRSC? If not, it may be rejected because when it gets to your turn the official will check it for originality. So many Nigerians I know that tried to convert theirs got their cards rejected because their licenses were not original. They had to apply as new drivers. However, mine was accepted because it's the original one from FRSC. To prepare for the online test there's a driving manual which usually can be downloaded from online at the MVA's website which you'll need to study for the test. Here in MD, you'd need to get at least 22 questions out of 25 correct to pass. About 50% pass and 50% fail the test at first attempt. After you pass the online skills test, the final step would be scheduling your drivers road test appointment. Right there at the MVA you would schedule a date for the actual road test. There's also walk-in for the road test if you don't wanna book a date but getting tested on any given day you go to the MVA is not assured due long queues of other walk-in candidates.

Any which way, before your drivers road test, be sure to go to a driving school near you to have them brush you up on your driving skills. Driving in the US is totally different from driving in Nigeria. There's a lot that you won't know from driving in Nigeria that applies to driving here and small things like that can make you fail your road test. Some schools charge like $70 for 2 hours and they'll brush you up and prepare you on what to expect on that day and they can also drive you to the MVA on your test day assuming you don't have a car of your own. Note this: driving to the MVA in a driving school's car helps you a lot as it shows your examiner that you have gone through necessary US driving lessons. Or you can have a friend drive you to the MVA with their own car but you must have had someone brush you up on your driving skills for the US. This is very important. Please do not skip this critical aspect of the process. Some schools may be booked up for the entire month but you can always ask them to refer you to any of their drivers personally that could do the same for you. In case you're unable to get a school or driver, let me know and i'll refer you to the driver that prepared me for my road test. The guy is extremely good.

After you pass your road test, then you can pay for your drivers license back at the MVA and it is usually processed immediately right there and given to you. Or if it's going to be mailed to you, they give you a temporary one to use. Congratulations on getting your drivers license! Remember, driving in the US is a privilege not a right.

I passed all my tests at first attempt starting from the 3 hour drug and alcohol test to the online test to the road test. They are not hard once you prepare for them.

Safe driving in the US. Don't drink and drive! Watch out for those crazy drivers and make sure you get your car insurance with full coverage, not liability only, for a new driver to the US especially for your first 6 months of driving here.

I just confirmed at https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/drivers/#eligibility.asp, scroll down to New Residents. The process for MD I just outlined above is the same for VA, except for the 3 hour drug and alcohol test part. Looks like you don't need it for a VA license, just go straight to the MVA/DMV. Let me know if you have any questions. Goodluck buddy.

This dude is always on-point. There's something different about the guy called bigfrancis. Onyi ishi,idi bad!!!

Ezekachiamadi:
Hello house. Please I need a list of safe schools that can give me assistantship for Environmental science/engineering. My GRE score is 307. Toefl is 104 and cgpa is 4.2

Apply to Minnesota state university,Mankato. Environmental Science dept there doesn't require GRE but u can use ur gre for embassy purpose. All u need is to register with educationusa and to evaluate ur transcript. With ur GPA u will get it.

Today, I received rejection letter from Vanderbilt University. Idi.ots. I pray that school burns to ashes. The adcomm will experience glass, pepper like sh.it for 365 days straight. Fools. Who wants to attend that nonsense school anyway. I will apply to Oxford University and I will be accepted. Can you imagine?

Hhahahahaahhahahah....laf wan tear my boxers. Thats how i got a rejection from Cleveland State University, na so i wan die... Am still praying one out of the remaining three accepts me.. It can be so frustrating cos u go tink tire.

Seems a whole lot of guys here are into Engineering courses. Abeg is there anyone in the field of Environmental Science? Its urgent please. If your studying environmental science,plz send me a pm.

I wonder why people can't be matured and just help him out. Just buy lime,maybe five(5) of it. Cut the lime into two,then dip the finger into the lime. Do this morning and night and as regular as possible. It will go a long way and kill what's responsible. That's what many people use.

Oluwa, Please answer my prayer as decision time ticks.

Total nonsence. Of what importance is such story? Is she d first? N will she be d last to get pregnant. Sometimes i just wonder the priority of most stories. To an extent we hv lost our values. I wonder how this story will add value to this Nation.

And those guys don't look like chinese. They look Malaysians or Filipinos. Either he went to Malaysia or Philipines.

that first guy over there served with me in calabar in 2012. His name is Maliki, Daniel Buba. So how come? Check the pix i have attached n compare it.

Goosshh,that feeling you go through when a school rejects you. Meehhnn it can be so frustrating. Four applications,one down.. Three to go. Oluwa na ur hand I dey oooo. Haven't been myself though.

Are you just realizing dat? FTC on point

sirborjnr:
hello fizzile, I'm pretty sure that spent a lot getting registered, please bro,how much does their registration cost? thanks a lot

Meehhnn I sure did but its worth it. The form was 1600naira while the registration is 32k. U must attend a session on wednesdays den membership session on thursdays. As a member u can always come there to make use of their internet service,their toefl or gre materials,that's their library generally. Are u applying to minnesota state university? Don't forget you will have to tell the woman to mail the graduate coordinator indicating dat u have registered.

anikemoses:
Hey bro,why the Emphasis on " they actually don't write back to your undergraduate school"... Just be mindful so people won't exploit such for their sinister motive...The US has over the decades built Institutions that allows for checks and balances...Just so u know..

For the records, IERF is a member of NACES. So no cause for alarm. I wouldn't come here to give wrong info to Nigerians. Mbanu!!! Udo di!!!

My dear if u don't undstnd some things,u seek clarification instead of making hasty comments. Abii ur just looking for what to say. WES write back to ur undergraduate school for confirmation and in most cases it takes a while before UG schools reply,thereby leading to delay...and am telling u IERF doesn't write back for confirmation as long as its an official transcript sealed and stamped by ur UG schools. So it is only by writing back to UG schools that Institutions in US checkmate documents? Abeg I no dey talk toomuch. Many people use IERF and I have given reasons why.

Holudarey01:
mehn evaluation is gonna cost some dough or he looks for other schools

You can use IERF. They are good. They charge $165 and they actually don't write back to your undergraduate school. They evaluate ur transcripts under 10days
