Time2win:
Well done, hope you will get admit in a better school this time. Which course did you apply for?

I contacted the graduates coordinator of the course I want to study before I applied and in his replay to my email he gave me waiver code and said he prepared it just for me

nasjeje:
How did you get waiver code for an application fee with university of Baltimore. When is the free application closing?

Thanks

Thanks so much

CMU is a no-go-area. More so CIS in CMU can be acquired online. For these two reasons, you must remove CMU from your subsequent US visa applications. I am speaking from experience.

Contact the graduate director of your department. Send e-mail

nasjeje:
How can I get University of Baltimore application fee waiver code? If you know it, pls do the needful.
Thanks

Please...how did you get full ride?
I also need full ride but I don't know how to go about it.

Kaylhey20:

Hello house
Can I scan the student copy of my transcript as an unofficial transcript along with my online application to the school?

After using the information you gave me to calculate my GPA using WES calculator my GPA is 2.75/4...thanks so much bro

lexychuks:
You should replace the failed course grade with the newly passed grade. That's how WES calculates GPA. Also, your final 2 years grade carries more value compared to the other years, so if you did better then, your evaluated grade goes up.
I would however advise that you just pay WES for the evaluation to be certain. The value I got using the free online evaluation was different (lower) compared to the GPA WES sent to me after their own evaluation. I hope this helps...

Am doing that already...thank you for the information

dipomania070:
Bro i will suggest you look for schools first. Try Castleton University, Vermont if they are offering your program. If you have other requirements like GRE and the like it will compliment each other and i am sure you will get admited. Some schools offers conditional admision. Just take your time to make research. Dont be worried about your GPA. You will still see better schools to admit you.

Thanks

Sorelee:
It took you 5 years to get your degree due to the extra year right? Then its 5 years for course duration.... Although one thing i am not sure about, is how the extra year grades would be calculated because i never evaluated my result using any external evaluation service...

Thanks for the information... Am grateful

Thank you...I still have questions about the WES conversion. My course is 4years but I had extra year(repeated some courses) should I use 5years on the course duration? Or should I replace the failed course with the newly passed course after the extra year?
I need information on this please

Sorelee:
Now that you know your cgpa in US standard, i will advice that you search on google for schools who will accept 2.59/4..... you will have to contacts graduate cordinators of the departments you will be applying too first to be sure, some schools offer conditonal admission with such low CGPA.... you can PM me for any additional assistance

No error at all, i studied chemistry and I graduated 2014, 2-2 starts from 2.4 according to faculty of science handbook

dipomania070:
Bro what year did you grad and what department? Maybe there is a restructure in the grading system. I also grad in eksu. For years this has been the grading system:

4.5 - 5.0 First class
3.5 - 4.49 Second class upper
2.5 - 3.49 Second class Lower
1.5 - 2.49. Third Class
1.0 - 1.49 Pass

Hope there is no error in your transcript?

After calculating with wes tools I got 2.59/4

Godsmercy11:
This is my advice .... Since you have your transcript i will advice that you evaluate your cgpa to US standard using the WES Gpa calculator( check their website for it) see if you could get a 2.75/2.8 then streamline schools who will accept your gpa of 2.75/2.8 be sure that there are a lot of schools in usa that would accept such grades ...

I graduated from Ekiti state university, my GPA is 2.46 and its 2:2

Senatorbee:
In my school
Ekiti State University
2:2 is 2.50-3.49

This is harsh...that someone had low GPA in undergraduate course doesn't mean that person is not bright or not brilliant and intelligent. We have guys that drop out from school and end up creating great things with great ideas. Don't mock or look down on any one with low CGPA.

lockupman:
Bros if I were you, I would go and restart bachelor degree again and make sure I make no less than 4.0 cgpa. Haba! Did you join cult in school ni or you were busy pursuing kpekus? How come you got a 2.85?

Please house, I need help. I really want to apply for masters in the united states, what can I do to get admitted for masters in chemistry or computer information systems with my low CGPA of 2.46/5. I don't want my dreams to die because of my CGPA. I need advice please. You can as well send PM to me if you can't advise me here.
Thanks

JoeBazz:
It's on a scale of 5, I can upload my transcript to show you how it is graded

Senatorbee:
Habaa 2.46 is third class ooo
Where ur own University get their own grading system

It's second class lower(2:2)

Humble11:
2.46 is a third class. Mehn I won't advice you to waste application fee in those schools cos they won't admit you with that grade and they don't require GRE for that chemistry. Don't waste your money

Thank you bro...I will post my transcript after the interview

hammed71:
Goodluck in your interview bro please don't forget to post transcripts

Thanks so much, am very grateful. This comment has boosted my moral and confidence.

dipomania070:
Why are people advising him to cancel his appointment. This is bad. He can always try and been denied a visa is not the end of his Journey. He can always reapply. Since he has book an appointment then let him go for it. What works for A might not work for B. Please lets be careful with the kind of advice you give to someone. Yes he can apply to another school if he is been denied. But let him try his Luck first. I am certain he is going to get it. Lets not discourage anyone

My opinion though. You dont have to accept it. Thanks.
