The school won’t do a SEVIS transfer unless I check in with them by physical presence. The department also won’t do a deferral in this case…so I just had to chose another school where I have been admitted…So, transferring SEVIS ID isn’t possible in this case (but I can transfer my SEVIS payment on the SEVIS portal myself). I might be wrong but the other visa becomes invalid in this case.

Why wouldn't the school transfer your SEVIS? You are not coming to their school and another school is requesting the transfer.

anamo:
If you are changing school (which is true in my case), you’ll need a new F-1 visa especially with the SEVIS 5 month rule

The professor who input the funding I got a visa with in school A lost his NSF application and he only told me in June after I already got my visa in April. I should have risked it and travelled but I’m scared I’ll just be left stranded after I’ve reached out to other professors who claimed they didn’t have funding. Since I got a new offers for Spring 2025, I just reached out to the grad coordinator that TA offer will be better, rather than RA, which is fine.

Right now it seems going to the embassy again will just be a waste of time.

Thank you

Why do you think you will be denied visa? You didn't commit any crime by choosing not to go for program A. You don't need to much of details. Just make it known to the visa officer that program B gave you admission for Spring 2025 and it is your preferred program as such, you decided not to go with program A. If your visa isn't expired, I don't think you need reappear for another visa interview.

anamo:
H

Since you have the admission for Spring with TA, you should be good. Just wait till December before you come in. When does your F1 visa expire?

MichaelSokoto:
dis is also my own mindset now oo!
Nigerians actually don't deserve any kind of pity!
They are the architect of their own misfortunes!

Sincerely, this is my conclusion. The level of tribalism and nepotism even amidst the perceived learned one's is irritating to say the least. Many only complain when they are not the beneficiaries of these ills of governance and most do not understand the real value of liberty and that is why they are crazy over the paper money than its value.

What do the kids used in storing their items when vacating these days?

Hopefully, Onne port will help decongest the Lagos ports and make the prices of imported goods cheaper due to reduced cost of transportation.

Kobojunkiee:
These people and communities that have been ravaged by bad governance need to come out to protests. Obviously, sitting back doing nothing has not helped them nor anyone else..

The average Nigerian doesn't like the other. Aren't these killings all signs of bad governance? Did some people not collect N2k to protest against the end bad governance protest?

I have learned to watch and laugh when people complain now as it is obvious the populace are a greater problem.

naijamanyoutube:
I for give you a ride.

Bros, How una dey na? I go call you soon.

kaycome:
That's cool. Which state are?

Arizona

kaycome:
Is it the same GboyegaD from the beginning of the thread. Wow longest time. How're you doing? I check in once in awhile to see how the thread is going. Hope you dey hear from Imperiouxx, walspring and other veterans of this thread 🤣🤣🤣

I check in from time to time and contribute. I heard from Imperiouxx some months ago. I should check on guys in my cohort this weekend as it's being a while I last heard from most.

femmy2010:
Tuition has been paid directly to the school . The N20k is additional support for the student's upkeep.
This is a good one, really.

Something well thought out like this is what Nigerians need , not Sending grains to them like paupers.

My hope is that the beneficiaries find good job upon graduation to enable them repay otherwise, that's another trouble being for the future.

anamo:
I tried reaching out to two professors trying to get a GA, but wasn’t successful.. and the fear of not being able to waive my tuition is also there if i landed..I also depend a whole lot on the funding as I don’t have a dime to support myself beyond the first month… it’s just going to be more miserable. Well, maybe I should just diss the idea over all and try some other countries. Thanks

Did he withdraw the funding because he thought you were not coming? Have you tried reaching out to your graduate program director?

The current governs is a colossal failure. How do you explain this subsidy with the increasing rate per Kilowatt?

Gosas:
I scored 167 in quant section. I don't mind Masters, just looking for fully funded scholarships.
My WhatsApp no is *******. Thank you.

The number is not showing on my what's app. Can you please check and confirm the number again?

TQing:
Hi GboyegaD,

Could I send you an email? I have a BSc in Economics and am applying for master's program. I would appreciate your assistance.

Thank you,

Yes you can. I'm not so good with emails and even what's app but let's start from the email and then we can exchange numbers on there.

Gosas:
Good day house,
Trust you all are keeping safe. I have been able to read couple of the threads.
Please I need assistance, I am looking to apply for a PHD for fall 2025.
1. I graduated with a second class upper in Economics 3.83/5.0 and I have been able to write GRE
2. Please how do I navigate the search for full funded scholarships
3. Please I would love if you can also assist with any advice that would help me out.
Thank you

Thank you

What was your GRE Score? Why are you not also considering Masters? How good is your mathematical skills? My advice coming from Nigeria in Economics is to do a Masters before PhD.

You can drop your what's app number if you wan my to talk more. I studied Economics and may be able to give a few tips/advice.

That would also depend on the price at which they were being disposed of..
If you are buying something at a price which seems too good to be true..
If you didn't do your due diligence..
You only have yourself to blame,if there is more than meets the eye..

It is because of our wickedness. This is a void sale ab initio however, we do not have strong laws. Selling/buying at ridiculously cheap price could be because it was a distress/clearance sale.

donbenie:
If you are buying second hand items,it comes with its own hazards and bed bug infestation is one of possibly many..
If you don't want any wahala,buy brand new items..

While your assertion is true however, anyone who sells infested item without informing the buyer is wicked.

YINKS89:
I did not specify, but actually I sold olit to those Bola aboki and added money to buy another one coz that's how fast I could sell it, what they do to it after is not my concern. Of course he's not expecting me to burn it cos they cost money

Your height of wickedness is intriguing. Your type will blame the government and you are more inhumane than they are. You sold what you couldn't use due to bug to someone else to use and here you are justifying it because of money. You are very callous.

Nazgul:
Nigeria is one of the poorest countries in the world, so little tokens like 50-100k might seem like mount Everest to some people despite the fact that they're gainfully employed

In the US however, as long as you have a good job, you'll definitely be able to afford $100.

The bolded isn't necessarily true. It depends on your income and life style. It also depends on who is asking you for the money and the person's financial habit.

Rolexxxy:
Thank you for your timely responses. Now can I email the school notifying them that it was an error?

@OyoTunjiUSA GboyegaD MrSoftlife

I would rather wait.

Good bless the provider of the sausage rolls.

Rolexxxy:
Applied for the Spring 2025 to University of Colorado Boulder as a transfer applicant using my 100Level transcript. My CGPA is 3.62.
On my secondary school transcript there was no gpa but scored As few Bs and few Cs so the person doing the application for me decided to put 88/100 where GPA was required without calculating, will this be an issue? Will it mar my chances of securing admission?

Also, they demanded for Academic history and I uploaded transcript and NECO instead. I want to know if this will be an issue.

@OyouTunjiUSA and GboyegaD I need your input please.

Only the university can tell if this is an issue Horace, going forward, do not put a percentage you are not sure about in your application.

Jay1ne:
Hello everyone, good evening. Thanks for the tips and ideas that have been shared here so far. I would appreciate if I could also get counsel on what to do next in my case.

I studied Political Science for my undergraduate degree, however in Uni, I acquired professional certifications(CCNA, HCIA. I am already studying for CCNP and AWS) that allowed me to work as a Network Engineer. I have less than a year experience in this career.

For my Msc, which I hope to go for as soon as feasible, I would not like to continue with political science. Instead, I would like to Master in something related to Information Technology. The dilemma that confronts me now is how I can switch from a non-STEM Bsc, to a STEM Msc. I have checked online and I have not really seen a straightforward answer that addresses this.

I have checked with some schools in the UK that offer conversion courses for people without any background in the Msc course that they want to apply for. In fact, I know someone that studied Agricultural Engineering for his Bsc and completed his Msc in Software Engineering. However, I have not really seen something similar for US universities.

I would just like to know if there are people in similar shoes as mine and how they navigated their way to getting their preferred Msc course.

Thank you very much.

Find a school that has what you want, apply with your BSc and IT certifications. Stress your work experience and how the program will help you fulfill your future dreams. Do not forget to highlight your transferability skills.

Toor! Warris this?

Telling him to man up and not be tactical on an important issue they did not resolve in courtship is making him more man than he is. Listening to the online jamboree of people who have no idea of the uniqueness of his family will only destroy the home.

Interestingly, the police too is facing the same fate as the ordinary masses. If they choose to turn a blind eyes to the thugs, they also suffer the effect of bad governance.

helinues:
Other states outside South West right?

In particular which suggests the extent of the bigotry of the average Nigerian including the elites.

Zionmdde:
No igbo person should sha join the protest. Let us all observe what others are doing

Aren't they part of Nigeria or they buy their produce way cheaper in the East? This division we keep creating is the reason why the government can continue to act the way they do.

helinues:
Abeg make we no lie, the protest is already flopped.

Upon all the online noise for like a month now. The inciters are mostly keyboard warriors

Since you are fully reside there on nairaland have you seen what is going on in other states? Don't be too myopic and leave those who want to protest to protest in peace.

Cajal:
Oyo wey 23rd of the land mass na arable land
Dey protest hunger

When the fulanis were killing their farmers and feeding their crops to cows, what was done? Please keep quiet if you don't understand how statistics is used and stop exposing your ignorance.

Chinkoalhaji34:
E be like say dem no sabi say protest no dey solve anything.

All this wahala go just turn to another level of hardship, na so e dey always be.

Wetin go change? Nothing! Instead of protest, make we dey find solution wey go fit help everybody.

Oyo residents need to focus on how to survive this tough time, not join for protest wey no go carry dem anywhere.

Why not keep quiet and let those who feel they need protest do their protest? You are not the governor nor the president, therefore keep your advice to yourself.

Are the youths the only one protesting or he just wanted to exhibit his stupidity? Where is Wike and Tinubu to address the protesters?
