@Bold

I still remember analyzing something on that and what if VO ask about the two ND degree and why not the course for your UG

sureb0y:
They started checking us in around 3.30am I think, flight was for 6.30am.

sureb0y:
oh, and for tips on post-graduate plans, Always have at least two fat friends of the opposite sex. Get close to them... really close. Thank me later.

OluDare01:
Contact you school, they would give you the best advice.
I did mine here in Nigeria
MMR varicella and skin TB test, filled the health form and sent them a scanned copy only after they told me what to do.
You might wanna explore this option

LagosismyHome:
That your first misconception if you feel research is for only those going for masters program ......... when i mean research it doesn't mean you are discovering the cure of HIV , but simple stuff in relation to the first degree and its application to Nigeria .

That gives a more in depth into your future goals than saying student faculty ratio

Also see the course you are going for , it has a good element of research. : undergraduate degree in clinical laboratory science and medical technology. So if you dont want to talk about research then hummmmm maybe you need more homework on this degree and its application

LagosismyHome:
Sorry for your delay ........ The VO gave you feedback and it lies in your answers , nothing stood out and that last on in bold is a BIG NO NO ....with your course there is so much to talk about from a research perspective and linking it up with Nigeria and the value u can bring lateron. For the VO to keep saying rehearsed speech , he or she was giving you an opportunity to redeem with the next question but it never came

That faculty ratio thing needs to go , why do people still say that . It is a standard in almost all schools so doesn't set any school apart ....... why you choose a school is what set it apart from others or what is unique to that program that interest you .. Also going for undergrad you have to be within a certain age range ..... How old if you dont mind me asking ?

I did all proper checking and finger print and i was sent to windows Six with one Guy that kept giving people Blue paper. At first i almost didn't want to go there but then i said God let your will be done. so the guy denied the person in my front and as i was about about to step forward i was asked to hold on for one Old woman which i did .
