Do you have the receipt of the payment. Confirm if the person really paid

Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you. I contacted him to see if he could recommend one or two skls that can fund my program(I applied this fall to several skls, but got admits without funding), surprisingly he requested 80k from me.

It was then I realized, though there are lots of people on this thread that are genuinely helping people--selflessly I must say-- but one or two people are here to make there presence known, so as to get there potential "customers". A sorts of business strategy.

@bolded You must have the best profile on the face of the earth that can never be achieved by any other person, because it’s only if you have seen his profile and your profile is better (to the point of it being “parallel lines” grin) that can you make this statement.

E be like say this Johnkay101 dey suffer from depression. For the word " top school" to dey vex you, e be like say you collect reject from one of them. No worry, I get remedy for you before you go drink Sniper.

Send me an email and I'll work with you and get you into a top 20 university for fall 2020 even if you have a 3rd class GPA. I'm very serious about it. All you have to do is to do all I ask you to do and I won't charge you a dime for it. Though, it is not going to be a rosy process (I need to give you the head's up)

This offer is only for Johnkay101. If you want admissions counseling from me, you'll have to pay and it is not cheap.

Johnkay101, buzz my email on bracelum@gmail.com.

If you're not interested, it's okay. But always STFU whenever I give my comments here. If top school dey vex you to hear, close your ears and ignore my posts. I gave the poster a nice advice based on ROI and you carry your bad belle come dey attack me.
STFU. Get yourself first into a top school before looking for who to help. Anyway, I'm not exchanging more words with you. If I share my profile here, we are not mates and can never match. The road between us is parallel. Have a great day!

Did you see “But if not” in my post? I guess that takes care of it. Also you have added a caveat of the person not being intelligent, which i believe is not entirely true because we measure intelligence based on one source of truth but that is another topic for another day. That means the person doesn’t have the capacity to improve other aspects like GRE, SOP, and maybe hasn’t done quite well in the work experience aspect. Which I think “but if not” has covered.

“Shreyas Renukuntla“ with a 2.8/4 converted CGPA, he had 5backlogs in his bachelors degrees he had to retake. GRE 314. His game changer was his SOP and interviews which he used bolster his profile & it helped him clinch Cornell University (Ivy League) Ms Systems Engineering. You can check him out on LinkedIn and interview him.
This doesn't answer the question of everyone as you claimed. 2.8/4.0 is not a bad grade, that's a second class lower. Someone from Nigeria got into Upenn with a 2:2 and a very high GRE. If you know some people can't improve, why mention everyone has the potential?

@bolded he is right tho, if they bolster the rest of their profiles. But if not, attending a top school though may come with its benefits but it isn’t the holy grail for success in life. So let everyone be true to themselves and pursue their goals according to their own desires.
What part of a person's profile can they bolster to get into top schools like Harvard, MIT, Stanford assuming the person made a 3rd class in his/her first degree and the person is clearly not intelligent? Let's see your advice

did you read his post at all? That is the best True advice anyone could have given him. It’s like anytime you guys see “bracelum”, you don’t want to care what he has to say even if it makes sense.

This is a faceless forum but the way people are sensitive and won’t even acknowledge an advice especially when it comes from someone you all have tagged “outcast” is surprising. Your saving grace “advice” might just be in the mouth of the person you don’t like. People like this can’t have mentors. grin The question is can people look beyond those flaws to get the treasures? If they can’t, then I doubt people like that can go very far.

Stop being too sensitive, it’s a faceless forum. Analyze things objectively. It would be for your own good.

P.S Read his post objectively.
I read his post. He gave a good advice no doubt. I just have problem with his top schools this and that into every conversation. Not everyone has the right profile to join a top school and he is saying everyone has the potential to join a top school. That's just where i have problem with his post.

So what business has that statement with the matter on ground ?

I agree with you not everyone must go to a top school.

My own philosophy is, if I'm not going to a top school , I must go with funding from that school.

But your response came at a wrong time when a critical matter is being handled.

So calm those nerves of yours.
There is no wrong time here when the fellow keeps bringing in top 20 school into every conversation. That's what I pointed out. The rest of advice he gave is good

Mr know better, how is he talking rubbish? He gave advice in his own opinion, if you think you know better, then give your own advice in your own opinion and stop ranting on how other people's opinions irritates you.

Why would someone spend that much on school that is not an Ivy school? If you think you don't have a good profile to apply to a Top school then apply to a regular school but a good one that won't cost you that much.

That's what he's saying. He's saying the right thing and not rubbish.
At the bolded, you have problem with understanding. I personally highlighted the top school part he mentioned and not the funding part. He can tell the fellow to change school and not everytime join top 20 school without knowing if the candidate has the right profile for top 20 schools. That was my point. Top school is not for everyone. Next time read to understand and don't be fast to speak.

Every candidate has the potential to join a top program irrespective of their GPAs. It all depends on your drive, perseverance, and ambition to push further and optimize the other parts of your profile to submit an awesome application. Those three qualities are rare and it isn't my fault if you don't cultivate them.

So, stop being bitter because I'm saying the truth.
Stfu. You just like to prove a point even when you are talking rubbish.

Every candidate has the right school for his or her profile. Not everyone will attend a top school. Before you advise someone to join a top school, try and know the person's profile. This your random advice on top school this and that irritates me.

You don't go about spending $74k in a school if it is not an IVY.

If you're well versed, then you will know the full meaning of ROI.

If one can't get the right admission and funding , the best thing to do is wait.
Seems you have problem with understanding. Where was I endorsing the guy to attend the school or spend 74k$ for that school?

I am just pointing out that not everyone can get admitted into a top school.

Next time before you jump in, read well.

With these points of mine, I will advise you abort the plan and join a top 20 college AND a very lucrative degree if you want to pay this high for graduate school or you join one of the regular colleges and receive full financial aid if you just want to be comfortable with a decent job.
Mr. Top 20 schools, Just know that it's not everyone that has the right profile (GPA & Test scores) to get admitted in top schools. The way you tell people to join top schools as if its within their power gets me tired atimes, when some doesn't even have the right profile.

So you also asked for a false SOA and it was given unto you?

I have never seen citizens of any other country so religious and yet so corrupt.
I didn't say that. God doesn't support fraud/evil. He helps those that helps themselves. Though he is a merciful God, some have succeeded with fraudulent documents and still put it on God.

If you ask for his protection, he will protect you.

Millions of students come to the US every year to study. For the vast majority of them, it is typically a smooth application process. the only reason you need "miracles" is because of the country you've created.

Answer me this riddle, why did that same "god" not show the same "miracle" to another person with the exact same profile as you? Is your "god" a respecter of persons? Did you make any special sacrifice?
Does God go about healing people. He said ask and it shall be given unto you. He only does what you ask. The other person doesn't need such miracle.

1. Simple answer - i did not want to spend the rest of my life with folks like you.
2. Nope, i was not asked to return and i was very clear about my plans and intent to work in the United States.

Your last sentence is completely confused. Everyone knows what a Nigerian means by the term "hustler"... and "legit" does not include using fraudulent SOAs.
That you weren't asked doesn't mean a V.O mean knows you will stay in their home country and become a citizen. One of the reason for granting non immigrant visa is home ties, you must overcome section 214b and which i know you did overcome. All I am saying is, we all have hidden intent which we can't let the V.O know in order to get visa and I won't call that fraud. As far as your documents are legit and you have legit plans, i don't have issue with such person.

Fraud = wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. You know you are being disingenuous so i won't even bother to argue with that statement you made right there. You are not much different from the "bad" leaders you blame. You would do the same thing if you were in their shoes.

The person who was denied has no know else to blame but people like you. You keep blaming the level of corruption in this country, when you yourself are here justifying corruption. I laugh in greek.
Why haven't you returned to your home country? Did you tell the V.O that you will stay in America after your studies. Let's call a spade a spade and support those seeking better life. I don't encourage fraud but i will support any hustler going through legit ways.

It is in times like this that silence is golden. Please, don't drag the issue further!. Can you just pore over what you wrote up there? Does it make any sense to you? This is a public forum, please, let's stop washing our dirty linens outside.
Go and sit down, it makes 100% sense to me. It's public forum and not a secret. Even V.O knows that and that's the reason some don't get the visa. 70% of those using Uncle as sponsor, those Uncles will never release the funds for studies. But if you have sure plans to fund your studies and not be out of status, i will encourage those people and not backlash them.

Sorry... you haven't had to fly to international airports and be treated like a criminal, not because of anything you've done, but because of the willful dishonesty of those who happen to share the same passport with you by accident. This is not about "because you made it", its about doing the right thing, especially for those who loudly proclaim "god" in every post here.

A country is nothing without its people. A country does not magically happen, it is simply a reflection of what its citizens are willing to accept. The countries we are running to did not develop a better life by magic or because they have a special blessing from a deity... they did so by holding themselves to strict moral codes of conduct, a thing we despise. Everyone wants a better life, they are just not willing to put in the work to achieve it, rather preferring to steal, lie and cut corners. My tone isn't the problem, you are.
What can the people do with a bad leader. A country that people's vote doesn't count. I know the level of corruption in this country is high and it marvels me. Using a legit bank statement to obtain visa even though the owner of the statement will not release the funds is not fraud if the fellow have legit means to pay the fees while studying. While we use God factor is cos of the country we are in. Someone I know went yesterday, prepared well, the program is fully funded by the school and yet he was denied. There is God factor(some call it luck or grace) for this visa thing as far as Nigeria is concerned and until the country gets better. Same God factor is obtainable in other corrupt countries. Well if you can, change your tone while addressing people, it doesn't cost you anything.

The sentences in highlights are confusing to me. In one breath you say fraud is discouraged, but then admit that it is ok to commit fraud as our only chance at obtaining a US visa?

Perhaps that is why things never change for us? Because too many of us are ok with the end justifying the means... we are ok with fraud as long as it benefits us. Yet we complain that we are treated with suspicion at embassies around the world.

The US education is not designed for the rich, it is designed for Americans. Nigerians should design an education system that is affordable to its citizens. Oh wait, we can't! We've dishonestly stolen the money... all in the name of gawd of course. If there is one thing i am genuinely thankful to God for, it is not having to raise my children in a zoo where it is ok to lie with impunity.
In as much as you contribute to this thread, you need to change the tone of your message. Just because you have made it in America doesn't mean you should spit on others face. Some want to leave and get a better life, blame it on the country and not on the individuals seeking better life. Some just want to use their uncles Statement, obtain visa and hustle over there to pay the tuition fees. I know someone who transferred to a community college and have been hustling and paying his fees. Everyone wants a better life, you too are grateful that your children will not face what is obtainable in this zoo, same as what others want. You can advice people but please change the tone of your message.
