Harmony222: just try and understand me here............. yes i intend going with a B1 then eventually change my status to an F1 visa within my B1 validity period as i have read from their website... and u dont need to doubt my studentship just because i posted something unfamiliar to you on this thread....

Oga, I'm beginning to doubt you too! Saw ur post on the "Traveling to Canada" thread, "Finland Visa" and now here. Only you! U now strike me as a desperate and confused guy. Where is your sincerity of purpose when you are being nebulous? If u can't be specific here, people will regard you as unserious. Olajesu and Imperiouxx are nice blunt guys

Seems folks are quite busy. ***cycles away on my Raleigh like a palm-wine tapper.

francisabuah: plz about the registration of the GRE by our selves,made mention of gt master card.r u sayin is only gtb master card cud work cos i hav sky bank visa card.plz really wanna know if my sky bank visa card cud work thanks.need responsilbe fast plz

From my experience, you can use that of any bank. Just that that of GTB doesn't give issues. I used Access'.

GboyegaD: I like your post however, the guy doesn't seem like someone you should advice. He's been on the Canadian Student Visa thread to seek same opinion wherein people gave him similar advice. I can tell you no matter what you say, the probability of him thinking through it is very low.

Brother, Let's hope that he's gonna do as you have rightly suggested.

De Tus: @godG, it's a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Ur encouragement is awesome anyway.

Oh, see this perfectionist! Thanks, for the seeming correction and acknowledgment. God bless you.

Harmony222: thanks for your swift reply.........buh what about the option for going through visit visa route would i be granted cos i thought laying the fact that am a 300level student would serve as a strong tie between me and my country which might convince the VO, then after getting it by God grace i would apply for a change of status(am just saying) to be eligible to start a new program there(am not satisfied with my current gpa am not sure i will graduate with a 3.0/5.0, i know what am saying)...... please i need strong advice cos my head is way too scattered now that i cant think straight.. please dont mind my confusing issue. God bless

I'm sure your belief that there is some1 there who can sponsor you contributed to your not-so-encouraging CGPA( please pardon me) Really, this is a gr8 chance for u. However, you need not disregard your current academic pursuit. Sh**t happens. Bro, a bird at hand is worth more than ten in d bush. Ma le eku meji lekan na. Please, put in ur best in ur current studies and also talk to the woman on the possibility of being invited. Why not chill and finish ur BSC (even if na pass u go carry comot, it is worth it.) See, face ur studies as if you have got no hope in life; talking from experience. Apparently, you cannot be admitted to most schools again this year. That one year won't kill you. However, if you are thinking that the woman could change her mind, tell her to send u an invitation and start afresh when you get there. My point is lucid enough: don't disregard your status now; should the woman disappoint u, that is all you have got. +Pray, Hope and don't worry. Blessed is the man who put not his trust in man. Pray for God's favour. #My 2kobo lasan ni o, I could be wrong. **cycles away

Sir, start reading this thread from page 310-320. You should get loads of info; I can assure u that.

imperiouxx: School ranking matters when it comes to PhD (being the highest level of education), this is the reason why I must get that Harvard admission by fire, by force..... God can do it! https://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/characters/character0009.gif

I so love this! May it be bro.

holyboy.com:
Please i have a degree in Geography and regional planning. With a CGPA of 3.57. I want to do my masters in the U.S. I am interested in Msc in G.I.S and remote sensing. Please how do i get a good and affordable uni or college. I also want to know if i can be sponsored by a Nigerian company. Cos UK recognises only Shell nd chevron. Please i just want to know where to start from. Thanks guys

1. How to get a good and affordable school?: U have ur purse and u know how much u have in it. Do u know that google understands most langs? Type anything on google and u get loads of info. No one will search for schools for you sir. It is a cross u must bear. U have chosen ur path (MSC in Yankee) and u must be ready to bear d brunts. On sponsorship? Talk to folks in ur line.

2. On where to start?: You have started well by coming here sir. Next is searching for schools; then, Standardized tests. Then get ready to file in ur applications. **All is well.

simpleE: Good day.... i want advise on this. I have admission to a US school for masters this fall session and i have my F-1 visa too. I am now in the US and genuinely intend to study but i'm having difficulties with finances. I was to buy some goods for some clients and send them to Nigeria and my profit from it was what i intended using for tuition fees. But unfortunately my clients backed out and asked for a refund which i have returned to them. Now i don't have any means of paying my tuition. I'l like to seek advise from the house on what to do. What advise would you have for me in-order not to fall out of status? I do want to study but funding isn't possible now. I've been to the US twice on visits and never breached any laws.

U be Arsenal fan? Even with your said noble intentions, you are a gambler. **In Kenny Rogers' voice: every gambler knows, the secret to surviving... See, let the gurus talk bro. However, if you can source d money from somewhere else in naija even if na only first semester and subsequently find a way of securing a scholarship or something. God can do anything. But please sir, next time, don't gamble on issues like this. Had it been it is Nigeria, you can always get a way out but there, it might be throat-slashing. Just talk to people asap. Nothing is impossible. + tell it to Jesus.

electronic: If average app fee = $80
then 4 Schools = 4 x 80 = $320
320 x 160 = 51,200 whew!!!Sweating
GRE = 30,000
Transcript = 4 x 2500 = 10,000
estimated (51000+30000+10000) + other = 100,000

boy oh boy!!!

Lol. This dude must be an accountant. If u are 'fortunate', u go do evaluation sef. Bro, eni ti o je oyin inu apata o ni wo enu ake: he who is willing to eat d goodies inherent in a rock will ignore d pains and stress involved. #It's a price we must pay.

samnoah: House, I'm considering the following schools for a PhD in Management Information Systems in some and Information Systems in others:
1)University of Georgia
2)University of Illinois Chicago
3)University at Albany (State University of New York)
4)University of Nebraska Omaha
5)The University of Arizona
6)Baylor University Waco Tx
7)University of Maryland Baltimore County
@Webstradamus, Imperiouxx and other members of the house hope I'm good to go with these schools? Want to be sure that none of them is too 'competitive'

WTF! All?! Great schools sir. Just that u might need to narrow d list down to like 4. There are so many things to consider...u know what suits u perfectly sir.

David Hume: Na so bro! U missed so much!
Chaii , wd never 4get d likes of Ogidioulu my classmate and a foremost thug in awo! My best days in awo was wen our student union was still in place , I remember angola days wen der was threat of cultist coming 2 sch! Wen dem ama and dealth wit one fasco boi! Sweet experience

Ehn ehn! I sha know say Hume na philosopher. He criticised some beliefs abt science based knowledge, I think. All em Ogidi, Woliagbo, J pencil na mad dudes for Awo. Memories! All my 4 yrs for Awo were well-lived!

WinnieDPooh: Me i'm taking just 1plate, 2spoons and a foodflask. You can also take yours too what will you use in buying food or taking your provisions in camp?

4 years in Awo and I never really had any cooking stuff. Why worry about a sojourn of 3wks? All this shopping of a thing is never something to worry about. Just d basics like T. Brush, Towel, wears bla bla. If my parents don load me with **bar, I'm good to go.

Amefrica: HELP!!!!!!!!




I just booked my appointment and guess what ?! Oct 3 is the only available date this year, I had no choice than to book it.. I'm not even prepared, this date is too early. Now a lot is going on on my head/mind.. I don't even know what to do anymore.. I'm just so confused...

I20 has not arrived, I haven't paid the SEVIS fee, I haven't collected my WAEC certificate and so on and on.. Someone should pls put me in my right senses...*crying*..

Fret not bro. Tell it to Jesus. Aside, oorun to wa loke yi to aso gbe now. Have a schedule on how to go about it. Your I20 will come this week or next week by His grace. Also, ur WAEC result is ready nw. A friend got his yesterday. Just go to Ijokodo(if na GCE u use) or ur school. Just be calm: calmness is power, right thought is mastery.

imperiouxx: I know three very cheap schools in NY, one at NYC between Brooklyn and Queens and the other two at outskirt of NYC but majority of students there are guys. So, I know you won't have interest in the schools.

Amefrica: [quote author=eucharia64]hahahahah lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo omo no do that one o. infact that my friend like

Lol. Mistaken identity. No be me be ds o, imperiouxx.

Imperiouxx, patiently waiting for ur response sir!

@Imperiouxx, you've got a PM sire. Do reply at ur leisure time. Regards.

imperiouxx: Abi nau..... Mexico indeed.

N

Oga imperiouxx, I'm trying to send you a PM sire.

olarwarlay: I know about the $250(scholarship deposit), but that's not the payment i was referring to. They won't tell you about the part payment of your tuition until you get the admission and ready to receive your i20.

But if you are in doubt about the info, go ahead and apply.... Goodluck with it!

Tochium: yes u will deposit $250

Why not accept Wale's 2 Kobo sir? Don't let ur testimony be like that of a dog which won't listen to the whistling of the hunter cos it's been destined to be doomed. Please sir, don't waste your resources and time. My 1 kobo!

dolapobello1: Please, I need help. I have quite a number of PM notifications and I can't see anything pertaining to Nairaland in my E-mail inbox.
All help will be appreciated.

_{(Is moroh the same person as Mystiqme?)}

Check your Spam Box, sir.

St.dhayour:
pls house i need help with gre material email is dberrios60@gmaildot com

Send an EMPTY MAIL to selfstudy360@gmail.com D download links to the materials will be sent to u.

Horayce: elders in the house, how do we go about getting glowing letters of rec from naija profs/lecturers who barely know you. this american schools and their wahala. wen i tot passing the gre was the biggest headeache, now this. all my prospective schools asking for 3 rec letters. i was an anonymous student and i dont have a rapport with any lecturer cept my project supervisor. pls suggestions needed. tanx.

Sir, not even one?! Ehn ko le ke. Call your supervisor. He can assist u by talking to those profs on ur behalf before u show up in person. Or, walk down to ur school and head to ur department's administrative office and talk with ur HOD. Once u never had any bad record while an Undergrad, those profs are ALWAYS willing to help on issues like this. You don't have to know them at times but it will be good if u politely tell them what you would love to have in d recommendation. This will enable them hit the nail on the head and avoid redundant stuffs...u sabi hw naija profs dey do na: oversabi!

Babs911: I really appreciate your effort and concern I wish to come and say thanks at the end with the VO. All I'm battling now is payment of my SEVIS which have not found a way out pls help me sir.

The last time I checked, u can't pay that in Nig. All u need to do is get some1 outside the country to pay for u; even if it is in any african country. Better still, if u stay in Lag, go to Seme boarder to make d payment in Ecobank. Don't give ur money to agents sir. Hope this helps. U can PM any of the gurus in d house or me if still confused.

Babs911: Its ESL one year program. and Study American English

Then, u have to convince d VO that English is better taught in a country where it is d L1. The fact is also that the curriculum of ESL in America is second to none. Let him or her know that ESL is an aspect of applied linguistics and Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field of study that identifies, investigates, and offers solutions to language related real-life problems. So you wish to study ESL in America so as to enable u understand how English is used there. All these will turn you into the communicator you would love to be; a competent user of English.
