Poormanpikin:
Thank you for your understanding, sir. When I saw his mention, I didn't respond again because I owe him no explanation; he's not the admission coordinator nor the course coordinator, so I just ignored him. I didn't want to drag words with him, so I decided to maintain my cool.

The schools I'm applying to have explicitly stated that GRE scores are optional, and not submitting them won't negatively impact my admission chances. In fact, the schools' websites mention that not having a GRE score will not be a disadvantage in the admission process.

Regarding English proficiency tests, I'm exempt since my bachelor's degree was earned in a school where English is the language of instruction. Presenting a language test score would be like adding a bowl of water to an ocean - it would have no significant impact. It's redundant and wouldn't make a difference in my application.

The admission package includes a full tuition waiver, stipend, and health insurance, so I won't need to apply for these benefits separately. They're part of the admission package, and I'm grateful for that.

The key factors emphasized in the application process are:

GPA
Extracurricular activities
Letters of Recommendation
Personal statement/Statement of purpose
Any relevant supporting documents, I'm working thoroughly on these areas.

Your write-up suggests you know me in person, are you from the north? I mean that part of developing a relationship. The VC of my university is a personal person to me, and I can walk into his office anytime I wish; he has promised to write a recommendation letter for me based on my reputation in the whole school. My HOD, a Professor, and the Dean of the Faculty (from my department and has taught me), also a Professor, all have promised to write recommendation letters for me, so you're absolutely right about that. If it were Efetonore1980, I would have explained everything in detail because of his significant contribution to this thread and his kind and mature approach.

I'm considering applying directly to PhD programs, as some universities don't offer terminal/standalone Master's degrees in my field. I'm wondering if this could help minimize any deficit on my I-20. Is it possible to have a $0.00 deficit?

The cost of living in different cities might impact my expenses. If I have a choice, I'd like to know which of the following states might be more affordable:

Louisiana
Washington(State)
Kentucky
Alabama
Kansas
Idaho
Virginia
West Virginia
Wyoming
Florida
Oregon
Maine
Mississippi
I'd appreciate any guidance on these matters, and I'm grateful for any insights that can help me navigate the application process.
God bless you @GboyegaD
@Efetobore1980 and all in the house help me look into this please 🙏🙏

I like your believe, you will go far just keep the determination burning nothing is impossible in this life.

Anything you believe will become your reality.
Do you know how many cobwebs are on the tree? Wind blow this things around and mistakenly you come across it.

The man was terrible. A tribalistic and bad leader. He doesn't believe in Nigeria, he can't even build a functional hospital always traveling to London for medical care. The death he was afraid of, that's making him traveling abroad eventually happens.

Then I ask, why an old man is still afraid of death, why can't he build a good health system in Nigeria and patronize it, and be a role model to other politicians in Nigeria - this would have be his biggest legacy.

He had the opportunity but messed it up.

Can't forget ENDSARS lekki tollgate
Can't even forget the cashless policy with emefiele

He was tested with power but failed to deliver good governance, not knowing he was closer to death already. Well, he will face his lord in the grave. Everything he did in the open and closet with Nigeria's resources shall be accounted for on the day of judgement. He is in position of truth now.

Let this serve as a reminder to all of us that this life is transient.

Verily, indeed everyone will taste death.

Good day, sir. Thank you for your input and advice; it's well appreciated. COA = $62,132, Scholarship = $37,132, deficit = $25,000 covered by personal savings.

You did a mistake in the deficit, you shouldn't have fonted as the one paying your deficit yourself those VO at Walter Carrington won't believe you. You should have mentioned your parent (Mother or Father) especially as your sponsor, then you can now say you also have some personal savings. I'm talking from experience.

Having a $37k funding for master's is not easy to get

I've been dating my woman since 2021 we did introduction recently and already fixed our wedding to next month
Yesterday, She gave me her phone to fix so I used the opportunity to go through her chats...
So, I went through her chats with her sister only to observe that she discussed almost everything we discussed within ourselves with her sister too unprovoked
Although I've always known that she and her sister who is happily married also used to be 5&6 but I never knew my fiancee could be spitting everything we talked to her sister just like that....
I went through their chats even though there's no toxic discussion about me between them
But I'm not fine at all with the fact she debates almost everything we talked about with her sister...
This lady Is everything a man could ask for, she's beautiful, hard working very decent and I met her a virgin
I've not spoken to her about it though I still don't know how best to go about it
I am very displeased

You have to calm down, my wife confide in her elder sister too and nothing has happened over the years.
So you want her to confide in her male bestie? Choose your poison. She's her blood before you came into her life. During the good and bad times they've passed through it all. So don't interfer in their relationship else you'll start showing your insecurity and you know what that means, you'll start looking petty and lose your respect.

She's not even your wife yet. Lol

As a man, Face your hustle make money and leave woman talk.

No one will live forever. US should rest, nothing really special about any country. You'll still work hard to earn a living and pay bills anywhere

Ijoba85:
Why is there this phobia for marriage these days? Is it money or what? If the mentality is on making money first , then all singles should be ready to be "ancestral singles". Who knows what's what in the next minute ? Who promised you tomorrow ? We are all living on hope. Living within one's means is the key. If it ain't making sense in the city , it might in a town . There's no life style or standard without its own provisions. Those who gave birth by mistake some years back with shame and rebuke are now so proud of the so called "children". Then , they never wanted them cos they had no money but those children are making them proud now. Ask Clarion Chukwura, Genevieve and co. Our old mothers never set unrealistic standards for themselves during their prime . Their husbands too were never "Dangote" before taking the bull by its horn. But today , every single is scared of the bills. Let me tell you all, " the cost of things " may never drop. It'd continue to get expensive cos everyone wants naija to become UK, so expect things to become the way they are there.
If you don't have money for flat , get a single room, there are plenty single ladies that would understand and stay with you there .
If you don't have money for pampers , use napkin
If you can't afford private school , take your child to jeleosimi or public school. We also attended public schools when we were kids.
If you can't afford baby's food, grind some grains together with protein, your baby would take it.
Whatever a child would become he would become .

You man, just get something doing no matter the little it brings . The sky is wide enough for the birds to fly. No fear . God bless us all.

I keep telling people this but they think I'm capping, the prospect of the future is greater than today

If you don't have Rich uncles or family, Study the nursing in Nigeria, then you can go abroad for your graduate studies when you start working and making money after your school.
That's the cheaper option by far for an African.

You don't know how these schools are very expensive in Western countries even their citizens can't afford them.

It's obvious from your post that you can't afford this right now. This is what I'd tell my younger self

Kelklein:
They for try make am round figure N100b..

The kind of anomaly that happens here eh.. even the devil is shocked on a daily basis

This your signature ehn:

if you earn 500k per month in Today's Nigeria, your entire one-year salary can't afford a belgium Corolla.. think about this when you are less busy 😂

Here's my advice:

Find a job first because you need money to fund that master's and settle your life first.

You can go for your master's now too, if you can afford it as soon as possible. You'll thank your future self later on when it open your doors, because it will .

Menxtt:
They complain a lot


In Nigeria they complain
In UK they complain
In Canada they still complain

They can't even create jobs...they still complain about Job they didn't create, about environment they didn't build and about money they didn't give value

Nobody explain pass Nigerians wey just japa. You japa but no come get peace of mind. Everyday explanation and flaunting. Japa in peace and leave internet and Nigerians alone.
Infact, Nigerians in diaspora create no invention, no job creation, all they do is just complaining and seeking social validation.

Cho Cho Cho. You guys are too loud online.
Indians, Chinese immigrate more but you won't hear pim online

goran3310:
Why do you even want a woman like that?
Can she even get pregnant at that age?
You're already too old yourself for a first child.

Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get her pregnant first — because realistically, that’s the only real reason you need a woman.
Then, once she gets pregnant, you two can deal with the issue of her previous marriage.

You’re both too old for a first child. There’s no time to waste.
What was she doing until the age of 38?

Make the child.
If she can’t get pregnant — you don’t need her.

Please follow this advice op, you'll thank your future self. That lady has past her prime.

Don't be emotional when it comes to issues like this, you'll be the one to bear the burnt.

So because some evil people saw their selfie, the plane crashed? Do you reason properly at all? If they were your family members, would write your senseless comment? If you are envious of people relocating abroad just say it and let everyone know that you are the one with the evil eyes.

Lol I saw your signature no wonder.. enjoy

Must they make selfie just to attract more evil eyes? Now see the end result.

If you're progressing keep it low-key.

Alhamdulillahi for Islam.

pansophist:
Men have always being the architect of rot or nobility in women.

People complain about girls being on Only Fans, but it is men that invented it.

What about cornographic sites, it is men that create and control every chain of such industry.

Pimping nko? or those that patronizes such services, it is men.

Hotels, clubs, bars etc facilitating the negotiation, pickup and drop off for hookup sexpats are controlled and owned by men.

The one that are impregnating unsuspecting girls, catching them when they are very young, naive and broke, it is men.

We complain about single moms, but lots of men have different kids with different women, while being married to none.

Women are like sponges, they will soak up the nonsense or goodness the men of every given society have created.

In good societies, the men led well, and the women turned out to be good.

So the lack of virtuous women in Nigeria is a result of rotten men.

This is why it is necessary for young women not to resist or rebel against male leadership (especially from their dad), because he knows men, and he is only protecting you from the degradation outside decorated under beautiful package.

If God doesn't give you female child in this generation, you don't know what God has done for you

Life of fake pictures and crime

Nigeria is a joke, massive killings in Benue, Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto & South East.

Clemss88:
my brother leave that 300-400k salary that money is nothing o. That's what I spend for my family monthly.

You spend that for your family monthly because you're the one that created the lifestyle, and you know the kind of leverage you have.

You don't know op personal struggle.

Do you know how many people will rush that his job when he leaves?

This phase can be really hard if you're not careful because the crop of ladies outside are hungry and moneytionship due to the jagaban economy
