kunlebal:
Sup bro, am finding it difficult to pay WES Evaluation application fee with my Gtbank mastercard, this is the response i got from the payment site.
WE ARE SORRY, WE ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WHILE VERIFYING YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW YOUR CREDIT CARD AND BILLING ADDRESS INFORMATION TO BE SURE OF AII THE INFORMATION ENTERED IS CORRECT. Am still confuse here because i inserted the right address and master card number. I NEED HELP PLEASE

There is a problem somewhere...please, send me a NL message!

kunlebal:
That's a good point bro, I will send copy of my certificate through Nipost. You guys just solved my question, thanks very much. I just hope WES will do the evaluation very fast cos time is not really our my side against spring 2014

Anything pertaining WES just try and do it in time so as to beat spring'14 deadlines.
My ordeal with WES goes thus:
WES sent an email containing letter to me stating that the photocopies of my transcript has been sent back to my institution for further verification. I called my school after 5 weeks of waiting for my status to change from "Waiting for verification from institution" only to discover that these said photocopies hadn't even gotten to my school, they only received the email sent by WES. I had to email WES back the following day, only for them to reply back and tell me my evaluation has been placed on-hold until I pay a $60 fee, so as my documents would be sent via International Post. In fact, as am typing, I just settled the bill with my card. Hoping for a positive reply....!
So just have it in mind that, at times WES could delay evaluation.

smithjanetstore: @iamchux do they call schools for confirmation ?

Based on my experince with them, they contact institutions via email and send back photocopies of your transcript for further verification. But that of calling, I really don't have an idea...

imperiouxx:

I don't think it will be proper for another person to mail your certificate for you but if nothing is wrong with that, I can be of help to you.

iamchux: Just to add. WES doesn't play with Verification and Authenticity. So if you choose to send it yourself, just do it in a way it wouldn't be obvious that it was sent by you.

I agree with Imperiouxx on that. Like I said on my own quote, your certificate should bear your name as the sender.
If you send anything with any post agent, there is always a portion for sender to fill his/her details incase the stuff bounces back, it can get to you. So if your Certificate's envelope bears another name as the sender, It might be a Red-flag for WES to consider it as Genuine...so be aware!

Just to add. WES doesn't play with Verification and Authenticity. So if you choose to send it yourself, just do it in a way it wouldn't be obvious that it was sent by you.

kunlebal:
I want to make one enquiry from you guys, I just receive my transcript this evening from my school(STAMP n SEALED) and am thinking of putting the photocopy of my certificate inside the brown envelope that am going to put my transcript before I will send it to WES for evaluation through FEDEX.
My question is can I put my transcript and photocopy of my certificate together in one envelope.

Why didn't you allow your school send it on your behalf? I asked you this question because it was boldly written on their website that transcripts are considered Official only if they were sent by the Institution. But in your own case, the transcript is already with you. If you want to send it yourself, don't use your address as the sender's address, use your school address. And again, I would advise you not to include your envelope containing your transcripts together with the photocopy of your Certificate, in one envelope. This is because, they believe the Certificates are issued to the students by their Institution. So don't assume they will think it was your school that enclosed the photocopy of your certificate. In fact, that would just render it more unofficial...So take note!

God will see u thru it. Jst invest much tym in preparing and use d ryt preparatn materials cos dere is a superfluity of malevolent materials out dere

O boy! See the effect of GRE

OjaP:

It varies,look at these,

Oops! It might have been a typo made by the website designers

Don't mind me, I was just kidding there...

OjaP:

I think it varies from school to school.

I don't think so Boss, It actually doesn't vary, its a grading system that can't be altered by any institution...

kofsy:

Nope! 2.4 is a third class. 2.2 ranges from 2.5-3.49 GPA

Hey dear, I guess you are a bit wrong there....Got this from www.wes.org

De Tus: @Impe. Ok. Will definitely do that. You're doing a marvellous job here too. God'll surely reward you. You'll get a good job and good wife in the future.

imperiouxx:

OMG! Big Amen!

10 billion likes for you sir.

God bless you tremendously too.

I strongly key-in to that Prayer too.....Loooolz

webstradamus:

Why do you want to withdraw though? You can spend with it (without incurring any charges). Pay rent, tuition, fees, groceries etc. I've been using it for the past 2 years. And if you want to hold some cash, you can always collect cash back at Walmart or stores (free of charge). You do not need to make an ATM withdrawal.

So true! ...very flexible between various online Merchants across the world....Thumbs up GTBank!

justwise:
@All

Please can we stop this habit of dropping contact details?

If you want to discuss something that is not for public consumption then use nairaland email system to contact that individual, add the person as one of your followers then email that person.

Thank you.

Oga! I swear, this the first time I will ever drop some lines about you. Based on the trend you decide to follow nowadays, its like you'r displaying a bit of sentiment on this thread. But wait first, is this thread not meant for we all to learn from? So why are you now making it difficult for everyone here to learn from each other. I must confess, I actually wanted to correct you right from the day you hid a vital information about someone on this thread (can really remember the handle) dropping great infos on how to register for toefl in DELETED. What exactly do you lack? Is it the information that DELETED is well known or what. Or are you just seeking for cheap attention?

Please and please, let's make this thread more informative as it used to be during the times of gongo aso and the likes...

#NeutralMind!

Datty85: Hi guys...am now live in st. Louis, Missouri. Great place. Came in two days ago. Took alot of food stuff and didnt have a problem at the port of entry. As long as u label ur stuff well u r good to go. Still a lil bit jetlagged,timezone tin is killing me. And yeah u can book only a one way ticket if u r a student cos thats wat I did. Please if u have any questions abt anytin dont fail to ask cos dis forum is awesome, it helped me alot.

Rappers: Chingy, J-Kwon, Nelly and Murphy Lee's hometown...Nice place to live in I guess...Enjoy your stay brother!

OjaP: @ the guy that is schooling in Ghana.

Ivy League schools are good but doesn't translate to automatic job especially for an int'l student. If in doubt, attend the next SPE conference and you will be amazed by the thousands of Ivy league graduates looking for jobs.

Advice: Whichever school you attend, make sure you get good grades and don't be a LEARNER in the US. I rest my case.

@the bold: Word of advice from the Boss himself...Had to bookmark that sentence in my brain.

HotNaijaBabe:
*****
iamchux...I see you oh!

I can see the USA admission tutorial is really working...

Just take it Step-by-step and you'll be fine...

flynbird: Are we to take some sort of medical vacines again before leaving?

If you intend schooling anywhere within Texas, its compulsory you show evidence of bacterial meningitis vaccination before you can be allowed to register for courses. Its that Yellow Card stuff!

I suspect you are heading to TX

idalex:
hello imperiouxx, pls what are the charges per transaction.

pls house does any one knows any other means thru which fee can be paid to schools.
Thanks

So simple!
Just use your GTBank master card. Just like the normal credit card format, type in your Name (as it appears on your card), 16 digits infront of your card, expiration date and the 3 digits behind your card (cvc). Then order online, receipt will be sent to you instanta!
Remember, you will be charged the equivalent of Naira/Dollar at the time you where making your order!

Goodluck brother!

De Tus: @Oluwatosin4us, lol. Zynnie is really serious about hooking up with you. Why can't you just e-mail her. She's given you all the green lights. Should i call it green flag? Hehehe. Never mind, i like to make fun of something in a funny way:-)

I can't stop laughing again.....

Imperiouxx, can't wait to meet you and OjaP one-on-one...I swear!

Great responses coming from you guys...Cheers for the good work!
