Hi guys, been a while I came on here. Been busy with a lot. My transcripts has been evaluated by G.C.E. They're pretty fast and cheap compared to WES. And they do accept scanned copied of transcripts from students so if you have your transcripts, you can just scan it to them and pay with GTBank master card and they'll begin the evaluation process immediately. I'll like to know the time it takes TOEFL to send down the paper score of a test. I wrote the test on the 8th of March and they sent a copy of the score to my school and the school have received it, but I'm yet to get my own copy. I used my house address in ibadan not a P.O.Box. Do I have to go and check with Nipost and if yes with which tracking number do I show Nipost. Anyone in a similar situation? |
imperiouxx: What do you mean by "often". I think they all verify credibility of credential before evaluating it.Depends on what type of verification you're referring to. Do u mean GCE requesting the school to send the original copies for all photocopies or just placing calls/emails to schools? The call/email verifications is the normal one but I don't think they message the school to send the original copies to them...... Their's seem easier compared to WES. They accept student copies and photocopies too. |

imperiouxx: This is good. How long it takes GCE to processed credentials.It takes 15 working days. |
OjaP: You seem to be fine. But is GCE not going to verify your transcript?They do verify but not often. |
winbyforce: Please don't be annoyed,I'm sorry. Didn't mean it that way. Was just trying to make a light joke. Success is yours! Go grab it.Apology accepted! |
winbyforce:Excuse me.! Can't you respect someone's decision? And why on earth should you say "Flynbird go soon enter one chance"? How would you feel if I was pessimistic about your application and told you the VO won't grant you Visa? Huh? Please be matured. Its my decision so let me deal with it! I've read this thread from part 1 and I know what to look for in a schools so please stop quoting me about a school you don't know. There are other issues to deal with on this thread than being bothered about what school I'm applying to. Period! |
OjaP: You are very wrong on this, you are keeping the name of your school and getting other info on here. Will you have access to that if all of us do the same thing?Lol.. I know there are pros and cons about disclosing schools but I have my reason for not disclosing the schools name. And I've done my research about the school and have reasons for choosing it which I can always defend during the interview. And yeah I've sorted out the evaluation issue. WES refunded me. I had to go through GCE. Mailed them before proceeding though. And guess what? Its just $145 to get it done and they accept scanned copies of transcripts! I had copies of my transcripts. Would have cost me mailing time and money to get another transcript |
Ms Nas: Do you have the green card that folds into three?you or your mum should have it. It has the records of all the immunizations you had as a kid. I still have mine. One of the schools I applied to requested for the same immunization records and I just took the card to a hosptial and a doc signed the forms for me. You can try that.Not sure but I'll ask mom. Thanks! |
winbyforce: MMR is mumps,measles and rubella combined.You take separate vaccines for HBV and Tetanus. Total: just 3.Not many se?thanks! ![]() |
Ms Nas: So much ado because of the name of a school..soNo SDP. lol.. im certain ive got a good school. ![]() |
iamchux: Thou shall not fear... ![]() |
Ms Nas: You probably would have taken the MMR as a kid, tho I don't know if that would suffice. You could ask the admissions officer. Tetanus shot is quite easy to get, dunno about the HPV. Was a form provided for this purpose? If yes, I think you'd need to get a medical practitioner to sign itWhat if I've done one of these as a kid and don't know. Hope getting another done isnt going to complicate things. |
winbyforce: Yes you are!!!Wow! One injection for each of these: Rubella, MMR, Measles, HBV, tetanus and mumps. Or just one for all? @kpoli did how did u get urs done? How long did it take to get your proof ready. And how much does it cost? |
FutureDon: Sorry for intruding, but it is that same school that asked you to provide a US address before they could process your admission? If YES, I'm sure the school is 'super-ivy'.Yes the same school ![]() |
kpolli: Is this the only school you applied to? If they are giving you long thing then please scrap them from your list.... Go for a correct known school with known criteria like University of New MexicoI'm fed up with their wahala sef. Just that I've come a long way with them ![]() |
winbyforce: @flynbird,I believe you're in Ibadan,right? Go to UCH,GOP (general out-patient)department and ask for the immunisation section. You'll get all the vaccinations u need there and cheaply too.Yes I'm in ibadan. But wait oh, am I getting injections ? |
Anthonymighty: I guess schools are going tough now. They musta had bad experiences from 9ja students who get admissions and dont show. Even my school complained about it too on our Orientation day...lol #9ja no dey carry lastThat's the major reason I didn't disclose the schools name on this thread. Anyone who is really willing to school wld google schools and do his/her own research instead of asking for schools on here. Not everyone who reads this thread really wants to go schooling. Some just see it as a means to get into the US. They ruin others chances of getting admitted. Lots of travel agents could also be visiting this thread to get new updates and they often process visas for people who do not have the intention of schooling. God help us! |
Na wah oh! I jst checked my mail and read a mail from the school saying I have to complete an online 45mintues writting assessment on ETS website. After scoring 91 in Toefl. Smh! They say only Business and System Tech grad applicants are exempted from taking the assessment. The mails also says I have to submit a F1 visa compliance form affidavit of support. And it must be signed and stamped by notary Public or legal official!.... Thought this was supposed to be for the embassys interview. Isn't the bank statement showing enough for my studies suposed to be enough for the school? Smdh! ![]() |
nice4life: Looks strange to me too, never heard of such before.Ok I'll do just that |
nice4life: Its like she meant admission to the school not port of entry.Yeah for admission oh! Imagine ![]() |
kpolli: You have to do medical test and immunizations b4 coming..... I did mine b4 I came here.... It is far cheaper to do it in naijaNow where do I start this Immunization against mumps, measles and rubella, Tetanus and HBV test from I don't even know what to do or where to go. How did u get urs done and its for admission oh not POE. Wonder what business school has got to do with this. Are they taking we africans as animals with some sort of disease and bringing it into the US? Smh! |
Hi guys. Pls I'll l ike to know what my school means by submitting proof of Immunization against mumps, measles and rubella, Tetanus and HBV?? They say its part of the requirements for admission. Looks strange to me cos I haven't read anyone on here doing such for admission. Also I studied economics and going in for HRM(human resources management). Does it look like a change of line? Are they very much related? Jst wondering cos of the VO's |
kennyakobo: Please I'm interested in the materials. I stay at akobo, how do I get them? Please reply.How often do u go to Dugbe or U.I ? We can meet in any one of those places so I'll give u the material |
Hey guys. Been pretty busy lately. Got my toefl scores 91. Getting my trascripts evaluted. Whoever is in ibadan and needs toefl material can let me know as I have the cd of it.. Best of luck to all ![]() |
Please apart from the international passport, what else do I need to present on the Toefl exam date? Do I print out anything or I just need to know my Toefl registration number or ETS ID? |
imperiouxx: Try ECE and others and ask which one your school will prefer. Their list goes here http://www.naces.org/members.htm ......hmmm! This reminds me of the first time I heard about professional transcript evaluation, this page linked me with WES. Best of luck!I just sent a mail to WES giving them NUC link and also sent WES's mail to the school. I'll just have to wait for both responce before I know what step to take. ![]() |

Ok so I got a reply from WES it says... ------------------- Dear, Flynbird We regret to inform you that World Education Services does not have sufficient and reliable information regarding the recognition status of Lead City University to evaluate credentials issued by that institution. Accordingly we are canceling your application. Your file will be placed in cancel status, all academic records on file will be disregarded and you will be refunded $204. If you paid by cedit card we will credit the account immediately. In all other cases a check will be mailed to you within four weeks. If you have any further questions please contact our office. Director of Evaluation. ------------------ Has anyone ever experience such before? Why can't they just google N.U.C look the school up and read this.... http://www.nuc.edu.ng/pages/universities.asp?ty=3&order=inst_name&page=2 |
