Hey guys, because everyone on this thread has been so helpful to me one way or the other and to @pepe4reps for making me apply to EIU. I finally got my admission acceptance on Thursday (this is for those of you waiting for admission also, just keep hoping for the best-it’s coming soon)...still waiting on some other schools before I make my choice...then visa would be next...���

Congrats bro, which department and what's your class of degree and also, is it funded?

LagosismyHome:
Nobody ..... wise people know to stay far away from this school

why

SilentPistol:
Loans are not advisable. Nothing beats having enough personal funds that can last you for at least two semesters, or being fully funded by the school or any other organization.

However, if you're still interested in loans, you'll need a US citizen or sometimes a permanent resident to stand as your guarantor before you can be issued a loan. It's usually payable only to the school towards tuition & other academic expenses. That means typically, you will still have living expenses to worry about if you aren't funded or working here.

Thanks bro, the guy is now a citizen or PR as d case may be. He was telling me theres no bro or sister in USA. Sensing my desperation when i mentioned getting a study loan; he told me im not a citizen or PR. Which school are you bro, and do they fund from d onset. Thanks

SilentPistol:
And because it didn't work for someone else doesn't mean it won't work for him.

Does he stand a better chance preparing for the standardized exams & gathering his documents against Fall 2019? YES!

Can he still be admitted for Fall 2018 by some schools? YES! Only with much less probability. The earlier, the better. Not the end.

A lot can happen in one year, much more one year & 7 months! If he is really serious about coming here, can ace the standardized exams in few weeks, then I see no reason why he shouldn't give it a shot.

At the end of the day, we're solely responsible for our actions and inactions. I just want the man to reach a final resolve being aware that Fall 2018 is still possible. Inadequate financial planning is a totally different argument.

A friend is discouraging me from coming to US without at least getting funded by school or self. How feasible is getting a loan or funding on arrival in school. I would not even mind being funded by a tier 3 school. American dream must be fulfilled o

How long does it take to process transcript through WES?

The duration depends on your school's promptness in verifying the documents sent to WES. Mine took almost one month bc I sent my certificate and transcript to WES via nipost.

sunshineluv5:
hi dear i am about sending my sealed official transcript to wes please i need more clarification from you i have sent a pm already.

Pm replied.

clitlicker:
na pretty face i see o. now the flaws are dawning on me.

What course are you studying /did you study? Can she change her course? You can help her develop intellectually as well.

Scholastica16:
Thanks to everyone that has wished me well. I would mention everyone one of you but it will be unnecessary. This thread was mighty helpful to me so I am surprised that many of you are abandoning it. No matter what, share your experiences and ask your questions here. Someone might know something that the person you PMed may not know. For e.g I saw Yildiz' question on Data Science and I was surprised that some girl I know and is very well-versed in such fields did not respond. It is unfair.

@Yildiz, Data Science is a huge deal in the USA. Look no further when making your inquiries, simply check people's discussions on the subject matter on Quora if you do not get ready information on here.

Congrats bro, I wish you the very best in life as you commence this next phase of academic life. You are indeed a warrior. I envy your magnanimity.

Mitchely:
Thank you to all those who contributed to my earlier post when my family were delayed of F2 visa. I reapplied immediately, and picked the earliest available date in January and their was visa approved and just issued.
Special thanks to LagosismyHome and Time2Smile

Congrats.

I was Granted relief from deportation {Derivative Citizenship} today at the Stewart Immigration Court in Lumpkin Georgia by His Majesty Dan Trimble Immigration Judge of the United States Department of Justice.

More Details to follow shortly.

Congrats bro.

GAZZUZZ:
you cannot.

But you can rely on good brands.

Happy new year bro, please how do I check the Manufacturing and expiry date of a car battery?

sunshineluv5:
I think this option would be better n faster.please when u made mention of certificate hope you meant photocopy of my cert?

Yes, copy of your BSc certificate.

sunshineluv5:
good day house please I need answers, based on novice things lolzzz.......the school I applied to insisted I pass through wes to evaluate my result. Can I email them my transcript from my own end, or is it my school that would send my transcript? pls how long does it take to evaluate?

Request for your transcript from your school, collect it sealed and post it alongside your certificate to wes. If your school doesn't issue transcript by hand, then you just print d transcript request form on wes website and submit to d school for appropriate correspondence with wes.

Horlanrewajuh:
Thanks very much . I sincerely appreciate your response . My transcript is in English already . I will contact the department as said . How do I go about the GrE and how long does it take ? Thanks once again �

Larox:
Imperioux, others have done it before.
I have seen PhD holders going for first degree again.

Pls see other point you can correct here, others are learning from this trend.

Apply for MS medical lab Science instead of downgrading to a diploma.

This is what has been holding back so many bachelors from getting married. The craving for societal wedding by the ladies has to stop. May God bless you Prof being an astute exemplar.

QwinDebbie:
Please I just wanna know.
This issue has been bugging me for some time now.
If there are any medical students here, please your opinion is highly needed.

I've been hearing that medicine is very tough and all that, but being an average student, can I still scale through?
Will it be as easy as it is with top students?
Don't get me wrong, I didn't choose medicine because I wanted to. It's been my dream right from JSS2..
But being at home for 2 years, due to delay in getting admitted, without going to school, little or less study has really depleted what I had back then in secondary school.
I just need advice.
Please there should be no insults.

Thanks.

What are your O level grades like? Of course you can study any course as long as you put your mind into it.

She seems religious, considering her posts. May heaven be merciful to your soul. This is a wake up call to the parents of teenagers in schools to be alive to their responsibility and be more concerned about the all-round well-being of their wards. This tragedy could have been averted if she had someone to lean on, to reassure her of greater hope that lies ahead. I wonder what these counsellors and course advisers do in schools these days.

I know kwese sports promised to air d bout. Anyone who knows other stations airing or streaming it should please tell.

saydfact:
Don't bother yourself with HOW MUCH - just start and you wld be surprised... However to answer your question, a quality 4bed wld cost about 5-6m or 4.5 on low budget and finishing.

Goodluck

Thanks for the heads up about starting anyways. I would work towards it.

Architect

Good to know sir, keep up the good work. Please how much could successfully complete a 4-bedroom flat exclusive of the land cost?. Thanks

saydfact:
Hi NL Property Followers,

I just completed this project some months back and I purposely followed my advice to you all on how to save / reduce cost of construction (see my signature - if you missed those threads) and its time to share them with you....

For each stage, I'll be explaining how cost was saved where we did, and other advice along the way....

Lets start with DAY1 pics below where againt my expectation the 'bushes' on site had not been cleared 100% - so we had to get to business and quickly so.

Lesson 1: Always make sure the site has been cleared days to; on this day we were lucky there was no trees, just overgrown bushes.

What is your profession bro? A builder or and architect.

oduzbaba89:

Kind people on the thread, please reel out schools with fully funded MBA and other funded programmes as well as their requirements. Thanks and God bless you all.

Vasilias:

Not sure about d GRE scores, check Louisiana tech n uni of Louisiana

Scholastica16:
PTDF won't sponsor a PhD app for me. They have their own mechanism for doing that and my scholarship letter reads MS OSS. As for MS, fall is gone bro - painfully. I am eyeing Spring like cyclops. UK to me is a no-no and August of 2018 is almost 1 year away.

Thanks.

U can still submit fresh apps for spring entry. With d funding you are sure going to be admitted. Wish you the very best bro.

FutureLeader00:
Bro, its not my fault am just a gentle guy maybe I should give her some space or what do you think?

She is done with you, I mean to say d relationship contract is over. Forget about her and face your studies. Stay out of sexual relationship and focus on God and your career.

Destinyy22:
Anyone who knows of scholarship opportunities available for first class graduates? Your contributions will be highly appreciated.

Whats your course of study/field. U can visit the thread 'how to achieve high scores on the GRE' on nairaland for studying in the USA.

Kirusky4life:
good morning guys. trust u all slept well. PLs I need some Info from u all. does WES accept degree statement of results for evaluation or must it be the degree certificate?
Because as it stands, I am yet to collect my certificate from school and it has kept my evaluation on hold. can I send them my statement of results instead?

Contact Wes for clarification. I am not sure if SOR is acceptable.
