Passport, i20, letter from the school and my enrolment contract.

sirjunzenblaze:


No agent is involved. Got it from a camp I attended. I got it changed easily because the school really value Me and want me at all cost. What do I do now?

If all you said is true, I think you're just unfortunate. I've seen many Eastern Africans came to US for studies on athletic scholarship just like you. The only difference is they came for higher education. Since you were denied after AP, I would like to ask if the school coach gave you a recommendation letter stating your value to them or it's just a general recommendation from the school? And is it a private or public school?

Though I don't what document those guys on athletic scholarship submitted but it will be good to ask the school if they've done such before. This are getting hard with AP flying frequently these days

Rudy007:

A big thank you to everyone that posted their transcripts on this thread. #Cheers#

Cheers!

Thanks. I have contacted two (2) of them. Both responded saying almost the same thing. This is Michigan's reply to my enquiry:

Although you are a high achieving student, there were various conditions, out of your control, that unavoidably affected our admission decision. Regrettably, there was not a match between your experience/skills and our faculty's needs at this time. In addition, there was limited funding available for our faculty's research programs.

I won't continue further with them. Search more, you will find the one that will admit you.

2nd INTERVIEW

29th June 2018
I got a new i20 with full scholarship this time from my school the next week, I applied again and got a date on the 29th of June.

I went to the embassy on the 29 of June i was placed on AP and asked just one question.

Vo: What has changed with your application?
Me: when I got denied I contacted the school to let them know, And then they changed my partial scholarship to Full scholarship covering all my needs. Also they gave me a letter signed by the headmaster explaining my circumstances and my new enrollment contract.
I hand It over to her, she types for a while..
Vo: I would hold on to these and get back to you.

I checked my status online today and saw refused. So so sad. What do I do? Please I need advice. School starts 29 July.

This is sad. With all that huge scholarship. Well, only them know what they want from you. However, what was collected from you for verification when they gave you administrative processing?

My profile is
Bsc = mcb
Teofl= yes taken
Been working in the pharmaceutical industry since graduation
Now
I was offered another mcb at the sch Bsc again
Although i plan switching to pharmacy but i need to do a premed
Was given a tuition waiver too

Why would you accept to do another BS degree and in microbiology, which you've done before?

That's where the problem lies. Find a masters level course that will give the opportunity to go for PharmD degree in the nearest future.

Pls guys is it possible to apply for biomedical engineering for masters degree having studied biochemistry for my undergraduate degree

Yep. Depending on the focus of the program, a biochemistry student can go for ms biomed engr. You may have to take lots of molecular cloning.

JanetDoe:
I'm new to nairaland but I've been following this thread on and off for about a year now and I'm sure the information I've been able to gather so far will be invaluable. I'm finally ready to begin my admission journey and I'd like some "personalized" advice, if you will.Here's my profile:
First degree: Pharmacy; 3.44/4
TOEFL: 112
GRE: 319 (Verbal: 166, Quant: 153, AW: 4)
What are my chances of getting into a good to decent school in the US for a Master's degree degree in Pharmacology or a related course with full funding? The funding aspect is critical as I'm currently making peanuts doing my youth service and my family can't really afford to sponsor an MSc abroad. Would I be better off (with regards to funding) pursuing a direct entry PhD? I'd prefer the MSc because of the 2 year exit option if I decide academia isn't for me, but I'm open to either.
Also, I'm considering retaking the GRE. Would my prospects be appreciably improved with a higher GRE score (Especially in the quantitative and AW sections)?
Lastly, I'm finding the prospect of wading through dozens of American schools rather daunting and I'd appreciate any school suggestions anyone might have to facilitate things, as well as any tips on how to whittle down the selection.
I really appreciate the work all the experienced posters have been putting in here to help us clueless newbies, lol. Thanks for all the help.

MS in Pharmacology should be easy to get into but the PhD is very competitive and they favor Americans more. They look at your grad research work strongly, GRE (you should be fine), GPA (you have it) and good recommendations from your previous research supervisors. Pharmacology is mainly research and it's different from Pharmacy but you would be fine. Use gradschools.com This is the course I was applying for for PhD before stepping hard on that brake pedal and take the PA lane

Abeg, I would like to ask, as you're the last hero, do you use cape or not?

FA13:


What a contribution too! I didn't really think of asking for a feedback from the admission office though Michigan said something like

'Despite your great academic potential demonstrated in your application, we are forced to make this difficult decision to meet our capacity to educate and train students in our program while experiencing an unprecedentedly large number of applications to our graduate program. We feel sorry that such a competitive admission process prohibits us from accepting many highly qualified applicants to our program. '

By the way, Congrats on your Harvard admission. May I ask what your discipline is?

If you ask them, they will get your application and tell you the reasons you were denied. PA and Medical schools do have lots of reapplicants. After telling you, you can then work towards that in the next cycle.

justwise:

This reminds me of a nairalander who was living off stolen credit card while boasting how he is an IT consultant and all bs, his 'unsuspecting' gf who is also a nairalander was living like a daughter of a dead millionaire thanks to stolen credit card 'not knowing' that her bf is a crook but as in everything like this..shiit will always hit fan, websites, her school and other businesses she bought and paid for stuff using the card details got contacted when victims reported the crime. The poor girl has to start paying back and had an epic public bust up with her bf here in nairaland

I bet you mean this:

Who noticed Chidinho10 has deactivated his account?

Is that a goodbye from nairaland?

The guy don try nau...he helped many on here.
My best guess is that he is try to be careful and frankly we all should be at this time.

I joined this thread 1 week before Mar 17, 2011 and since then I've attacked or been attacked, insulted or traded insults. I've been yelled on and verbally abused but the good thing is, Thank you (when there was no 'like' button on NL), Prayers, Celebrating visa with newcomers..... those are uncountable and don't stop.

I've helped with advise, helped physically and helped the unknowns financially. I've helped the helpers. The first generation of GRE materials floating here was started by me. I would directly send them to people's email. But later, because of copyright laws they were compiled into gmail source (selfstudy360@gmail.com) by webstradamus.

Still, I continue to find a way to this thread.

So, deactivating your account because you're pissed at some people, to me makes no sense.

Walahi lukaku wud hav missed dat goal...

Possibility of missing it is high because he was tightly marked. Trust our Nigerian strikers.

Na me go score am would have let them lost to Japan.

frankmoney:
you are right

ferhyntorlah:


At the last sentence, Phahahahahahahaha

I'm telling you. Each of other games in this tournament shows why it will take Nigeria a lonnnnnnng way to make it pass group stage or round of 16

If Lukaku was a Nigerian striker, he won't leave that ball for the other striker in best position to score that goal.

And after losing the chance, he will stand there like a statue holding his head.

Abeg, most Nigerian players don't have common sense

Portugal will soon follow Argentina and all the noise about Ronaldo and Messi being goats would be over.

Then we can enjoy football again

Where are those dumb Nigerians calling themselves Messicans.

Dumbshiit

Argentina is a joke

Goal!!!

Ighalo and most Nigerian strikers should go and learn from the way European players spin balls.

Scoring goals requires techniques nowadays

Killing cold in summer.

May be you're talk about Antarctica.

The car passed and the explosion happened afterwards. You can hear the sound.

This is why 2 Channels cam is good. My car has Thinkware F770 installed.

How do you want your "slavery" ID card? Laminated or Stripped; Printed or Photocopied?

Why was Mané penalty cancelled

They said the defender touched the ball first before touching him.... You know how it goes.

scantee:

Bro it hurts, why not give extra time..?

Well, it's the rule, still better than coin tossing. The Senegalese won't sleep.

baum1:


Right

They once used that to ousted Nigeria before.

I can't remember the age bracket.

rentAcock:
So what would have happened if both senegal and japan also had the same number of yellow cards? They would've tossed a coin to decide abi?

Yea. I think they once used that for a Nigerian team but I can't remember the age bracket.

scantee:

Imaging elimination by fair play?

That's the worst anyone could have ever imagined

Almost same PK was given to Sweden yesterday.

There is no time VAR won't lead to controversy until those refs are well trained on it.
