I also got admitted to lamar fee days ago and was informed that I qualify for a similar offer as yours (though I still plan on looking for more scholarships). Also got admitted to BGSU MBA but with no funding.

For Lamar you can ask the international office for your deficit.

In choosing between both schools with good offers, you need to look at other factors that align with your career objectives based on curriculum, location, school and faculty reputation etc for you to decide.


Thanks. What is your deficit for Lamar.
Travel / Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by hotboss: 9:24am On Jun 28, 2020
Pls my people..
I just got admitted into Larmar university with an out of state tuition waiver.
Is there any one here who have had a similar offer? Or who can give me an I sight into this? As I don't know how much financial burden awaits me.

I would like suggestions from the gurus too.
BGSU. TA 5k stipend. 2k tuition scholarship. Engineering technology

Lamar. 1k tuition scholarship, out of state tuition waiver. Mechanical engineering .

Both are MS programs.

Pls gurus

University of Windsor requires that no student should have more than 3 backlogs and in your case you have 5 F's. My advice is that you should try the Memorial University of Newfoundland. Your chances of getting admitted into a Master of Applied Science (MASc) is considerably high.


It will end in praise

Sorry for taking you back.. are u referring to course based or Research ased.. bcz the stuff is quite different with MUN

This is a very competitive program in Canada especially for the thesis option. Getting admitted into the research based of this program will require alot of work by making sure your SOP stand out amongst other applicants from different countries. Also, your ability to convince the supervisor that you're the right candidate which should be given a space in his laboratory is very imperative here. Most importantly, you shouldn't all your eggs in one basket as it's much easier to secure admission into the MEng program in Mechanical Engineering at U of Windsor with your undergraduate GPA of 3.788.


It will end in praise


Amen.. I always applied to to MEng option. But I haven't tried U of Windsor bcz I saw that one shouldn't have more than 3 backlogs. And i have 5 Fs on my transcript. Although 2 where absent cases . I don't know of ibshoukd still go ahead to apply. Thank you very much for always responding .

Hi,
I don't know how your faculty do theirs. mine(M.Sc. Mental health nursing) send a portfolio template that contain different questions and i was asked to answer with reference to my experience in the health sector. I submitted with documentary evidence, letter from my previous employer, different training certificates i had, my resume, prior learning experience and other evidence that shows my experience. They requested the below information

A reference from a manager or equivalent that evidences the number of hours
worked and the activities carried out during that work. The reference must be on
headed paper and signed by line manager/equivalent, or an email from your line
manager’s (or equivalent) work email address
- Further information that outlines how you achieved these hours including the types
of activities undertaken in your role in preparation for studying nursing
- Attach a job description/role specification



Maybe you contact them for more details. They probably need you to show evidence or knowledge you have in the field like your past studies, designs, evidence of previous work experience or any documents that show you have background knowledge of what you want to go into

Cheers



Thanks.. I think i will send my undergraduate project work

These notes prove that these VOs actually go through the applications submitted.

It also appears that you didn't properly explain the relationship between the 2 courses.
I've learned that we shouldn't expect them to know, we should state all relationships. I think you'll have to share the documents u submitted and ur BSc grade that justifies going for PGC.

I never said so Sir as per the bolded. I was only advising the applicant based on his profile since he already had 3.64CGPA in his undergraduate studies, he should be going for master's and not a post graduate diploma at Seneca.

Please let's be meticulous enough on this thread. I wish you the best in your application.

Pls, what could possibly be the cause for admission refusals for a GPA of 3.788. WES Canada 3.33/4.00. I have got more 10 to 14 reject.. what will you advise. Bcz I really need MSc and not college . Thus has made me to be considering other options. But can you throw some insight to me ?

On the PSW issue, I think it will happen based on the fact that they have the majority in the house. Also it is on the gov.uk website now(April 22)it wasn't there before. I don't think they will go back on it.


I wanted to ask if gov.uk is a reliable source. Bcz I saw it vividly on the website and the update was in April 8th 2020. That the Psw will be available to student graduating as from summer 2021.

Well, I'm not trying to prove points but to add my thoughts.

I wouldn't believe that the lecturer cannot write a reference/recommendation letter.

I feel that the lecturer is trying to give the student the opportunity to have his own say on what to be written or added to the letter.. because, for real most of our lecturers are not aware of our skills and other qualities because student/lecturer relationship is poor.

Personally, I will prefer to give a sample. Lol..


Liljumy:



Your reply seems like he struck a nerve.
To be honest with you, I think it’s absurd for a HOD to tell you he needs to see a sample reference before he can type one.
According to the original post, he said it’s a common refrence letter for admission and not for scholarship application.
Even if the HOD can’t get it due to busy schedule or so, I believe he/she should have a secretary who can research on admission references.

As a parent, I would be ashamed of the school and dissapointed in the HOD if my child tells me his HOD said he needs to see a sample reference before he/she can type one.

Nice profile.

1. Quickly apply for PTDF MScb overseas full Scholarship. Deadline is next week. Choose UK schools. Choose MSc Petroleum, Energy Economics and Finance in University of Aberdeen as first choice. You Statement of Purpose (SOP) should be focused on how Nigeria will benefit in the oil and gas industry, as whole and in the academia. https://scholarship.ptdf.gov.ng/how-to-apply

2. Apply to USA schools. Google what school is still on and schools who give scholarship. Then do GRE and apply to it. Use your WAEC and letter of English proficiency as proof of English. https://www.nairaland.com/1832477/how-achieve-high-scores-gre

3. Chinese Government Full scholarship https://www.nairaland.com/5577200/apply-2020-bsc-msc-phd

All these is still available. Try and apply for them.

You have missed out on many other scholarship in which you have high chance of winning such as chevening, commonwealth shared, nigeria commonwealth and many more.



Thank you for your write up.. I stumbled on it and applied asap yesterday.

Frankly speaking, I have read the said immigration adjustment but still not convinced that it can make one stay except you are lucky enough to get sponsored by company. It seems to me that tier 5 is only like internship thereafter you return back to your country.

If you enter UK before change of immigration policy, the said policy will not affect you, and I don't think the policy can change soon.

I would advise you start applying early, don't restrict to a particular industry and put your ears down for information and search jobs from available job site and company's domain.

Plan B, if you have enough money to invest, you can change to graduate entrepreneur after finishing your studies. Other route can come from marriage.
You can also try get US visa, Canada visa, Australia visa as your hands can reach before you finish, atleast 6-7 months to expiration of your visa







Exactly what I wanted to hear at the bolded.

Pls, for the entrepreneur route. Is the money the main requirement?
Then, trying US, canada and Australia.. is it also on the study route?

I'm trying to plan ahead as I hv concluded that its UK I'm going
