Ok sir thank you ❣️for the correction

I'm just a little boy bold, confident and enthusiastic.
My classmates call me D'gun because I'm fearless, how I wish I could meet everyone on this thread in person, you'd definitely see that I'm confident, I'd say things without the fear of loosing, I'm a core member of the students representative council, where I fight for the comfort of my peers !

Phenomenalopeye:
Thanks, for the correction bro, for now, I may be financially poor but I'm not intellectually poor thanks for the correction biggie!

No matter the circumstances I'm always ready to face it, I'm never giving up on my US dreams, with or without support!
And all this doesn't affect me in any I'm always strong, and I'll always be. I attend classes sometimes with empty stomach but the grace of God has been always sufficient for me.

I'm not in any way negatively affected by the comment of any nairalander on this thread, if u should experience a week in life you'll definitely understand the challenges life posses to me!

I will always dream big, aim for the peak, so I can make it!

lol � I'm not friends with him on Facebook, but do you think that's a good way to test authenticity? I have 2 FB accts one i created while I was in jss2 another I created in ss1 so I can simply change my FB name details, and upload a picture of my pastor, even if you want to meet me& pastor in person, i could come with him or even ask my dad's apprentice to come with me dressed like a pastor, I guess you'd ask for his certificate of baptism � lol I don't think that's a good way to test authenticity, bro I'm ready to defend myself.

If u want to help me pls kindly do, ok I'm sorry let me ask if the college that admitted asked you sir, to prove the authenticity of your essays LORS and all that got you admitted pls will u gain admission?

I totally understand u though, the world is full of scammers and fake ppl. Pls if you want to help me kindly, if otherwise it's doesn't affect my future rather it's make me stronger more confident and bold.

Phenomenalopeye:
Thanks ❣️ I believe live is all about taking risks, and I'm ready to take the risk and explore the world of opportunities.
I'm also looking forward to start my tech company, as a college start up the future "spaceX or Amazon with funds from either the lemelson program, MIT solve or MIT sandbox! As u can see they're tonnes of opportunities open unlike this place where u have to post a crazy video so u can win just 1million naira from DJ Cuppy.

Phenomenalopeye:
Thanks ❣️ Sir, I totally understand you but my mind is made up, and besides I've got plan B, one of
the main reasons of me wanting to study in the US is to explore the field of robotics.
The interdisciplinary programs offered by US universities meets my needs, I'll design my curriculum to consist of 60% mechanical engineering, and 40% robotics.

I met students studying mechatronics here in Nigeria, I asked the how it is taught, all their response was pratical sessions are nothing to write home about, so tell me who would like waste 4 yrs studying without being able to build a functional robot, just only to code and program. Solve calculus learn CAD but no avenue to utilse your skills.
Absolute waste of time and resources!!!

AdoChel:
I am not sure how true this is.

solastar2:
Until I see it somewhere official, I am not taking this as authentic.

Friedpotato:
What if the situation doesn't change before spring.

This stuff doesn't make any sense, when they can mandate masks and ensure social distancing.

The international travel excuse is sensible but the COVID one is somehow.

100 of thousands of people were on the street for George floyd, caboodle of them wore masks with zero social distancing. A recent research showed that the recent rise in COVID cases is not related to the protests held, so it's proven that masks do go a long way.

Maybe I'm just reasoning it like this cause I'm the one affected.

Olufemichael:
Hello everyone, I do hope that you all are fine and staying safe! Does anyone knows where I can get the Measles, Mumps and Rubeola virus vaccinations done in Lagos? How much and how quick can I get it done? I anticipate our responses.

mvem:
our case is relatively better than those European countries and western nations...it doesn't just make sense factually why we should be hindered only if they think that generally it isn't being handled generally...Africa as a whole accounts only 0.5% thereabout of the total deaths worldwide and about 1-3% of total case worldwide. We are generally doing better than other regions of the world for reason I can't really tell

Sanguine1:
Boss are you too putting in for online classes for this FALL-SEMESTER 2020? But my fear is that how is it going to be because I need my GPA badly oooo and I don't want to be underperformed due to many factors like :
Bad network during the lecturers
No Light or NEPA take Light during the lecturer
Battery low and so on.
Hope you people get my points?

greenskittles:
Yeah, I was asking whethee he had announced his candidacy when it was posted. Just looked it up and he had announced by June and this tweet was posted in August.

greenskittles:
Did he really say this in the buildup to the elections? (Not that it matters, because he denies everything). He'd declared his intention to run when this tweet was posted, right?

Phenomenalopeye:
Guys! Pls I've been following this thread for a while, but I'm not learning anything just talks on GRE

Pls educate us!

Also can someone pls create a thread for
"Undergraduate admissions to study in USA"
I don't really know alot concerning it thanks I appreciate you in advance!

fairheart:
True, a public forum should stick to its goal, but that is rarely possible when people from different walks of life, of low and high exposure, are on the same forum. Although I didn't see any of the GRE arguments or participated in it, I think what sparked it must have been misinformation by students who didn't really understand how gaining admission in the US works. But maybe not.

People bring their little experiences on "US schools admission" to this thread and assume they are right. I think it's normal to educate them, and in doing so, the subject could create a stretchy thread.

Imagine someone up there quoting me that "everyone knows" that authentication of SOAs are required for issuance of i-20. When you overlook misinformation like this, you put other students (who take such information as fact) in unnecessary pressure and stress. It's one of the reasons someone like me still comes here. Do you know that a friend had to chat me up and ask for clarification, and I had to tell her she shouldn't bother herself. Sometimes, I wish to overlook some comments here, but then, I'd thought: "This needs to be corrected." We are all learning.

Predstan:
You will come back to realise these discussions are necessary. Justwise knows when it is enough and getting too much. But Man, let's keep riding for the Visa, I'm also looking for H1B.

sonofakin:
People get a lot of information from here including how to get into schools. GRE is a process too. I agree that the discussion took a while. But IMO, such is needed sometimes, as long as the arguments are constructive. For me, I learnt a lot. What should people be talking about anyway, vetting transcript?

Predstan:
You think your few admissions during this period of the Pandemic means schools will not go back to asking for GRE? my prayer for you is to get your Visa before the pandemic is over or you will have to go back and write the GRE and hopefully will not be required to provide vaccine evidence against the virus. Thats when you will know why these discussions are necessary.

Predstan:
Schools don't waive GRE, department does. GRE is still required if you want to apply to schools and have variety of choices to choose from. Again, if you don't want people todiscuss GRE or SAT,you can stop visiting the thread because that's the purpose of this Thread.

Sefa2018:
....and in an era where all US embassies are closed? What's the point in you commenting here then.

iwriterng:
This is the problem with most people; knowledge is boring.

Predstan:
Wait!!! So what do you want to be discussing on the thread if not GRE, SAT and all others relating to admissions If you cant contribute anything whatsoever, you can just face front and focus on whatever you are here for. Afterall, there is a moderator and he he hasn't said anything about these conversations.

Schrodinger1:
Lol...Apt! Oil dey your head

Meanwhile, ULL will be going on-campus and has adjusted the resumption date for the Fall.

greenskittles:
Yes, as long as it's legal

AdoChel:
Hello everyone. Are US embassies in other countries holding F1 visa interviews or is the situation general? Are international students in other countries waiting as we are?

greenskittles:
The Facebook live event with the US Embassy concerning student visa issues starts in 10 minutes.
