Hello guys.
I intend to take the GRE in August ending. How best should I register? On the Ets Gre site or with the likes of M.Y Mafit?
And is one month enough to prepare for the exam?

Preparations depend on your potentials, what your background is, etc. The normal time should be 3 months in order to target a great GRE score. If your card is accepted, you can do the registration on ETS web. If you need help on that, PM me. Cheers!

Hello everybody. I went for students visa interview with my hubby on F2. I need to travel with him as we are young couple without any kid. Please gurus in the house kindly analyse my transcript.

Me: Good morning
Vo: Good morning
Vo: he is ur husband?
Me: yes mam
Vo:What's ur highest qualification
Me: B. Eng mechanical engineering

I am very sorry for the long post but just had to table it down the way it is.

It's a bit complicated. What will your husband be doing for 2 years? He will leave a paid job in Nigeria and sit for two years. It is likely gonna be difficult for him to get B1/2 even if you had FI. Why didn't he apply too even to same school if you don't want to miss him? Better you apply alone or wait till 2018 when both of you can apply for F1; meaning he must have done the necessary things of applying to school himself. Or He can come to visit you for your graduation. If you will not miss him a lot, apply alone again. You can always shuttle Naija if the money dey Goodluck!

I want to make booking for greyhound bus scheduled for either (5:15pm or 10:15pm). i don't know how long I will spend at the airport POE. so please, which of the time (5:15pm or 10:15pm) do you suggest I book for?...looking forward to your response.

Better take the second option. Sleep well in the terminal, lol. The queue in JFK is unpredictable. Goodluck.

BloodyMitch:
Hi everyone, please if ones I-20 says family funds and doesn't state the name of the sponsor on the I-20 and the statement one sent to the school money has dropped from it, can one use another persons (maybe uncle) statement at the embassy since it wasn't specified or does the embassy know the name you sent to the school that was your sponsor? Like must you use the same persons statement you sent to the school. Thanks

Is your Uncle your family? If yes, he is qualified to sponsor you since the i-20 did not state any specific member of your family whether nuclear or extended. You just simply have to tell the VO who is sponsoring you.

dannydenzy:
Thank you bro. I will plan towards writing them soon. I am considering financial implications and time factor before. No mind me pop.. � I will be grateful if you can send me materials I can use to prepare via my email danieludenze@gmail.com

Everything you need is on this thread. No need personalized emails: Oya take this:

There is this saying that says ''If we don't fight we have failed, but if we fight we can either fail or succeed''. So forget the tuition part for now and put in some work. First, you need to decide on the course you want to study, To save you some stress start from this website http://graddecision.org/ to know the application process, So step 1) Decide on the course you want to study 2) Search for schools using a)www.msinus.com (open this website with a laptop, you should see a list of school and ranking for some of the most common courses, you can start from there b)www.gradschools.com c)www.google.com (you can just type 'msc in bla bla in the us in google' d) www.usnews.com e) www.4icu.org . 3) check up the website of the schools you find, to see the requirements. most schools will require GRE and some will require both gre and toefl . 4) Register for standardize exam and take it. You can register for gre as soon as you are ready and prepared to take the exam. Its done online at www.ets.org. You can also get all the information you need about the exam on the website. You will get adequate materials to prepare for the exam in this dropbox I created https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9ot6d07hp1lkm7/AADL_dTihjEvNBRCBsmAcoXja?dl=0

TOEFL is an English test required by some US universities. though, some schools waive due to the fact that Nigeria is an Anglophone country.
For toefl, all you need are the speaking noteful videos in the link below, the ets toefl guide is enough to ace the exam for other sections. Just download the toefl ETS Guide from there website and the simulation test.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/45tvc3ifi8wh8sh/AACXR5j6l3nsWK8vZx5P28TVa?dl=0

As for the Tuition, if you have good results (GRE, GPA, Toefl), SOP and LOR; US schools do offer assistanship to graduate students. This can either be Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant or Administrative Assistant. Depending on the school, if you get an assistantship, your Tuition will be waived and you will also be paid a monthly stipend that can take care of your living expenses. One advice, once you shortlist schools, send emails to the grad cord of the schools and ask specific questions relating to that course and funding opportunities, be very explicit.

Lastly, there are basically 2 admission session in the US, Spring (Jan) and Fall (August). Schools admit more students in Fall, so Its advisable you plan towards Fall 2018. If you plan to resume in fall 2018, make sure you submit all your application documents before ending of Dec 2017. If you don't give it a trial, you will never know.My philosophy in life is to always do my part, with that I don't get to regret later. Above all, if you believe in God,pray to him..if not, good for you.

If you have any question, drop it here and you should get more than one good answer.

Coloniel5000:
I wonder why people go to visa interview and kept celebrating it no documents Is asked, is it that they go with fake documents or no documents at all?

Secondly, my elder sister is sponsoring me but she don't have enough cash flow if am to use her SOA, so am planning on using my uncle's SOA and also stating him as my sponsor, please hope this won't be a RED FLAG as I don't want to go there with forged SOA as some do I guess. Also scared of VOs doubting the possibility of your uncle spending such huge amount on you an do deny people because of that.

Na my Questions be that oooooo.............SPRING 2018...........LOaDING...............

What do you mean by the bold? Do you have any evidence to that effect? What is the crime in people telling us that they didnt ask them any documents? Don't come here with your polluted mind. And you come here with your problem. I can't even see any question in your post: you are the one asking and answering.

Everest1989:
okay...thanks...I will be using WES... Sorry, what is SOA?

Statement of Account or simply Bank statement

Everest1989:
Thank you all for your wonderful support here. I have a question. it may sound quit embarrassing. I am applying to West Texas A&M University 
International Graduate Admissions 
Spring 2018
...I am at the last page of the application form where I am told to pay 75$ application fee...but I am surprised about there application method...they didn't ask me to summit my transcript or certificate... Please is this method of application okay...I am new to all this?

You will still get follow up messages. Applying online is not the end of your application. They will ask you for necessary documents and you may be required to evaluate your transcript. My warnings: make sure you send genuine documents including your SOA; West TExas does verify. Good luck!!

dannydenzy:
Hello House, I need your opinion, suggestions and advice. I am a First Class bachelors degree and masters degree(2013) holder in microbiology (2017) from federal universities in Nigeria. I want to apply for masters/PhD in molecular biology and genetics in U. S university but I don't have G. R. E and TOEFL at the moment although I have a letter of English proficiency given to me by my Alma matter. I want to know if I can get admission without GRE and TOEFL in any school in United States. If yes I need suggestion of schools that can grant me admission by waiving the test scores.

In my inner mind, I dey vex for you . With your 1st class, and Masters degrees, you still dey fear GRE and TOEFL. No be you study get those qualifications. GRE maths is application. There are tons of materials here that you can use to practice. WHy you dey fear? GRE will open more doors for you. Abeg, go write the exam jo.

Everest1989:
sending transcript for evaluation is it a must?

Only if it's required by the school. West Texas will ask for that; this should help the guy that was confused about transcript not on the online application.

Hello house, glad to be a part of this trend. would like to seek advice and directives. I should complete my undergraduate studies as a bachelor in Mechanical engineering this year october and i intend to take GRE and TOEFL before its completion. My plan is to further my Master degree in Industrial Engineering and Management in the United state as i would like to apply for the Spring admission now. please how possible is this and i need informations to guide in the choice of university. is there any university that will grant me admission for the Spring, seeing my final results and degree won't be readily available until October? thanks for your prompt responses.

How do you want them to assess your academic performances? You better plan for Fall; you won't meet deadline of most good schools for Spring: the deadlines are passed for major schools for Spring already.

I thought Nipost wasn't trustworthy

100% reliable just the Nigerian factor. There are many options in Nipost. If you want option like EMS which works like DHL,UPS, they have as long as you have money.

Folsy:

time isnt a factor so it cn take as long as needed.

Nipost!! In two weeks, It lands in yankee. You can do registered mail; you will be able to track it though more expensive than unregistered. Either way, it will arrive there in 7-9 days. Good luck!!

Nobody I said nobody in that area he plan to build that will attend to this ur nice and proper quatation.....Good luck

Boss, why are you generalizing? Is the place a slum ?

Ability247:
I lost my smartphone and I plan to get a replacement. However, someone said my smartphone would be useless in the states as the networks won't match. That I'll just have to discard and buy phone there. Another said I can buy a US sim and use with my new phone. That buying a phone there is expensive and better bought here. Please those who are already there, which is accurate? Not having a smartphone sucks at the moment for someone like me, but i don't want to buy something I would have no choice but to decommission in 2 weeks time or so when I travel.

Even Tecno go work

oduzbaba89:
good afternoon good nairaland people, please where can I get documents certified at a cheaper price, thanks.

Go to ikeja opposite Lasuth.

Glurssymum:
Please what's ur advice to someone who applied to only one university to respond to that question.

This question has been discussed here on many occasions. Even if you applied to one school, you must have checked other schools and settled for one since you won't be attending 3 or 4 schools at the same time. Expressions like ' I considered 3 schools but settled for this uni( the one you are going). Then ready for other normal questions like why this? Hope this settles your worries.

Welldone!!! More grease and money to your elbow and pockets. It's getting there. Not easy at all God will help us with our projects
