Hello
I applied to just one school (Lincoln University, MBA) and I was admitted. If I'm asked how many schools I applied to, should I say just one? And I didnt take any test, is that gonna be a problem?
I'll appreciate comments, my interview is coming up soon.
Thanks

You already answer your question. How many schools do you want to claim you applied to? Just be honest with your response and defend it. QED.

Good morning people,
I have been a silent follower on this thread, my profile goes thus. On May17th 2017 I went for my first interview and I was denied the reason the VO gave then was my school Park University Missouri is a "very small school". I got admitted for spring 2018 into Bowie State University, Maryland and I have gotten two denials again. I am really confused as to whether to give up on this dream. My last transcripts goes thus

VO~ why are you going to USA?
Me~ I'm going for my Masters degree in public administration at Bowie State University Maryland.
VO~ why Bowie state University?
Me~ The scope of the corriculum at Bowie state university is deep, courses like public budgeting, public personnel management and human resource Managment will expressly address the problem of lack of expertise in the Nigerian civil service.
VO~ Have you ever travelled out of Nigeria before?
Me~No, I have never had any reason to leave my country.
VO~Do you have any international degree?
No, I don't.
VO~Did you write any standardized test?
Me- I wrote TOEFL on September 23 2016 and I handed the result over to her wished she viewed and after that stated I'm ineligible.

Please I will really appreciate, advises on whether to pay another application fee and fire back since school resumes January 22nd.
God bless.

Why did you wait till after the 3rd denial before coming out? Perhaps your first transcript placed here might have gotten you good feedback. Good luck in your endeavor?

Please what is the cheapest means of sending documents to the USA? DHL says #15800 for a weightless envelope containing a letter. Any ideas please?

Go to Nipost for registered mail- cheapest less than 1k-8 to 10 working days. Or EMS- cheaper than other courier services.

denbaba:
Reason for question: when applying to schools in the US. can I upload my transcript myself or my alma mata must send it directly to them. pls I'm a novice when it comes to all this.

Check your schools requirements. Some schools will accept online upload for admission decision but you must also have it sent directly from your school before resumption. However, some schools require it directly from your school ( official copy)

Upandup:
Emmm, please is it possible to pay SEVIS fee using a domiciliary account (dollar MasterCard)?

You can't pay SEVIS fee in Nigeria. Contact someone in the US or go to Benin Rep.

Majesticniyi:
Hello House, I'm asking this on behalf of my friend. She's confused about the name to use for her MSc application. The name on her birth certificate and her international passport is 'Adijat' while in all her other certificates, 'khadijat'is used.

What can she do to address this issue so it wouldn't be a problem for her? Please quote me while dropping the answer. Thanks

Did she do her passport in absentia or what? Well, she can do affidavit to say the two names refer to one person.

imperiouxx:
Yes, now people can take you seriously. FYI, the only schools in US that Nigerians haven't contacted must be the new ones that were just founded yesterday.

Lots of distractions..... What's your initial question again?

GRE: Q-163, V-153
IELTS: 7.5/9.0
2 Years Engineering Work Experience and Leadership Experience too.

Thank you Guys.

With your profile, you have good prospects. However, you have to do the search yourself to know what suits you. Click on @Femi312 and check his previous posts where he shared all you need to apply. Good luck!!

Hello Folks,

I will like someone to help me with info regarding getting student Visa.

Thanks folks.

Olamsanj:
A red flag in what sense please?

Choose schools with reputations; they will ask you to write TOEFL and SAT.

Olamsanj:
Which school can I apply to please

Choose schools that require SAT and TOEFL.

[quote author=Olamsanj post=62006215]Me: Good morning sir
VO: Good morning! Please pass me your passport and your i20
Me: Passes him
VO: Why are you going to the United States
Me: I'm going to the United States to pursue my undergraduate degree in computer science at[b] VIU[/b]

Now you see why you were denied. Choose another school asap and apply for Fall 2018. VIU is a redflag.

Olamsanj:
Good day everyone! Last 3 weeks makes it my 4th time of going to the embassy for my F1 visa, yet no positive outcome which is weighing me down seriously cuz I convinced the VO about my intention to the study in the United States and that I'd be on my way back to Nigeria after my education but at the end, all I get is denial letter ☹️ Please gurus in the house I need your advice, should I forget about pursuing my education in the United States or not cuz the resumption date is 9th of January or I reapply again. Please I need your ideas

Post your transcripts.

You are the vice president.

Yes, since he couldn't discern the underline meaning of the post. President ko, Governor ni Conditional statement.

dadydee:
Really I was unable to get my transcript from the school den due becos of the strike before he start the process, so there's no way i can apply for masters without me having the transcript but he said I can still do the same course.. but that's my fear

How old are you? You must be able to demonstrate you are a true student having had a Bsc in the same course. If you can cogently and convincingly defend yourself. ..........Good luck!

Damilare5882:
Please whoever has dollars to sell should please contact me, I need to pay my sevis fee .. I will pay in naira.. Please it's urgent

Pm @bigfrancis

djfrancis:
Why is your reasoning so immature and myopic? I'm baffled to say the least.
First, there is nothing like natural academic progression. An individual can have as many degree he/she desires as long as the person is able to defend it. If I decide to do x amount of master's or even b.sc., I dont think there is a problem with that.
Secondly, all I asked for was advise and I think thats what this group was created for and not to look down on people. If you don't have a solution to an issue, keep shut and waka pass.

The dog that will miss road will not listen to the whistle of the hunter. You've proven to be an iconoclast despite your education which is meant to broaden your mindset. Is pathway or certificate the same as B.sc or masters as alluded? You will have difficulty getting your student visa which is the summary. But if that agent has advised you to go ahead, continue. But share your transcript later for others to learn.

LagosismyHome:
for someone with a masters and from the Uk.... The natural next academic progression is PHD ...

The folk seems desperate. He said he was denied in the UK. Instead of doing the right thing, he is looking for pathway. Of what use is the pathway and graduate certificate to a Master's holder from a UK uni

4peace4:
please y is no one talking about ielts is that toefl is better than ielts in the us? i planned writting ielts next month b4 starting my application

Nobody will talk about IELTS because TOEFL is of the US and IELTS is more of the UK. However, most schools in US accept the iELTS; check the schools requirements first.

MEILYN:
My sister's husband didn't take the SAT exam and he was given a Visa. I want to follow his footsteps, I'm just scared because people are saying I must take SAT and he said he only took TOEFL and that I shouldn't sit for SAT.

When did he get his visa? It's your life now not your in law's. He was able to justify himself. If you can do the same, carry go jo. Amelica is waiting for you.

MEILYN:
The means I was talking about isn't really about "money". The thing is this, I don't want to take SAT. I am not looking for a scholarship, my family can pay for my education as my 2 sisters are working in the US, my uncle in Nigeria owns a company. And yes, I know it's not a joke. Thank you very much. I really appreciate your reply.

Taking the SAT exams is one of the yardsticks to whittle down the serious, bona fide students from scrupulous ones. You can never escape that question about standardized exams taken; the ball is in your court.

sayilousnwa:
Marshal University West Virginia but it's gonna be through a Pathway program, and dia fees strong die ooooh na like 33k both living expenses and tution na if it hasn't increased now so it's left for you to decide if you would like to go through that route off course tofel is waived for Nigerians, have someone that went through the pathway this year around August and he applied for physical studies cum Aerobic studies and after the interview he was successful shaaaa ........

Stop encouraging this lazy agents.

Dancingpotato:
pls I need help, someone helped me to order for TOEFL score to the school I applied to since 3rd of Oct, it was processed Oct 5th and expected date of shipping is 6th of Oct. till date the school hasn't receive my score. does it take a longer period to deliver. I applied for transcript and it takes only two weeks to process and receive. I don't know if something is wrong.

Check your Toefl profile to actually see if the order was made.

Hi guys, I must say that you are doing a wonderful job in this thread. Please i want to know if is possible getting undergraduate scholarship in American Universities. If possible, the schools and their requirements.

Have you written your SAT and TOEFL? Go through College Board site or handbook for opportunities or better still check Google, your best friend

sexybaby22:
Hi, please can you advice on any University that will accept a second class lower degree student for masters in engineering management without GRE, or industrial engineering?

If Femi schooled you or make I refer you to Afonjaboston or Twood, no cry sha. People with humanities background are writing GRE; I wonder what the problem is with these Engineering people running for GRE

Mayorboi:
Any thoughts/comments on landing at Newark Liberty International Airport New Jersey using Ethiopian Airlines.

I haven't read any Poe experiences at EWR and flight experiences with ET. The flight time is amazing & it's relatively cheap... just 13 hours. I wonder why people prefer Royal Air Maroc that has about 25 hours flight time with an 11 hour layover at Casablanca & same price range.

I don't think there is any difference on the flight you take with POE experience but your ability to defend your purpose in the US. ET Airlines is great. Flown it several times with no wahala.

Choi ... u no understand pidgin??

OK make I try talk English

Is 55 thousand not too much for registering TOEFL.. I thought it was IELTS that is about that amount?

IELTS is 68k, TOEFL is 180$

Dear friends,
I want to ask if one can use three(3) different bank statement of the same person for sponsor. (I mean his money is spread in three different banks). (9.8m,8.6m & 6.2m). I applied for Msc. Comp Sci @tsu. Thank you.

Is he not the owner of the accounts? Evidence of financial capabilities covers all his accounts. As long as the money meet the required amounts, you can use them all.

Dancingpotato:
I did mine for 55k. if it is considerable p.m me

You did both 55k?
