James89:
Please someone should kindly answer my questions now,since morning

Yes, you can switch fields, as long as you are able to convince the VO about your reasons,


Evaluate that transcript to 4.0 first, I will suggest you use grades during evaluation

MabraO:
Lasthero good evening
Pls I have some questions to ask.


Graduated with third class from uni nd looking for school that offer pgd.
How do I evaluate my cgpa
And do I need tfel?

Thanks

Good morning, the USA don't use class like we do here in Nigeria as yardstick for admissions. Rather, they use Cgpa grades.

I will advice you to first evaluate your Cgpa to 4.0 using Wes free evaluation,


And also, I don't know if usa offers pgd. What I know is that they offer second bachelor for people with low grade.

Just try to evaluate your results first, then we pick it up from there

henrymor:
Hello fam,

How are you all doing? Please I have been looking for answers to some questions and I will be glad if I can find answers to them here. Thanks

1. As someone who wish to do Masters in the US, is it necessary I sit for TOEFL and GRE before I can apply?

2. I graduated with 2.2 can I see a school that will give me admission?

3. Is it true that I can go for diploma before entering for masters since I have second class lower?

4. As a geologist and someone who wish to do Masters in earth sciences which schools can you suggest to me?

5. When period of the year is the application form always available for international students?

Thank you as I expect response to my questions

1. As a geologist which falls under sciences, I'm sure you will need GRE. English is not our native language in Nigeria, so I bet you will need toefl as well.

2. It's possible, just evaluate your transcript to 4.0

If the outcome is 2.5 and above, you can get regular admission with good GRE SCORE.

3. Most schools in USA don't accept Nigeria pgd. You may make your own research though.


4. No body will suggest a school since we don't know your Cgpa. Get your evaluation first, Ace GRE, then we can now suggest for you based on your profile.

5. Available during falls and springs

yusbab:
Tanx u sir am greatful sir. I will be very happy if u can recommend one for me sir

First evaluate your transcript to 4.0

The outcome will determine the recommendations

LagosismyHome:
.

Thanks for your last advice.

I mount pressure on my department and exam records. When I wasn't getting any reasonable response, I met a lawyer and filed a 500million naira damage suit against the school. Immediately they got the court notice, they provided my transcript within 5 days, they even paid for my Wes evaluation. Lol

beezyblaze:
What about university of Indianapolis ...
University of Baltimore

Visit usnews.com/best-colleges

yusbab:
Gud job guys
Pls I need advise my cgpa is 2.32 third class and am yet to apply 4 GRE and I don't knw how to go abt the school application pls I nid u guide pls help me

First, convert your Cgpa to 4.0 using Wes free evaluation.

2. Research for schools that has its minimum requirements meets your Cgpa. If none,

3. Research for schools who offer conditional admission for Cgpa of your range. I'm sure you will find one. I can recommend some also.

4. Get talking with the coordinators of the program from the school that matches your profile.

5. Prepare for GRE and ace it. Low GPA + low GRE score is a bad chance.

6. Leave the rest to God and start preparing for visa interview. Lol.


Chaiii, after reading part 11 to 13 completely on this thread with personal researches. See as I turned to a counselor overnight.

uzzyj:
Hi nairalander, please can someone refer a school that accepts 2.25/4.0 or third class with 4 years work experience for MSC in Cyber security in USA .

With a good gre score of 310 and above, you may be lucky to get a conditional admission. I knew a friend who got conditional admission for masters with Cgpa of 2.1/4 at a tier 3 university

Hmmmmm

LagosismyHome:
Is this by phone or in person ? that you been using.... maybe you go in person with a parent , adult or find a senior staff member in the school... then go to the offices and refused to leave or harass them until they find a solution....usually the fastest way is going through a senior member of staff. People tend to listen to fellow colleagues

As for sniper...untop wetin na. America no sweet like that....... It will end well just go and worry them more, using someone within the school system . I hate to talk about going along with some pepper / owo because this a public forum but sadly our system works like that too. With pepper the speed faster

Maami, you won't understand.

I Labored hard to ace gre and TOEFL.

Spent over 200k on toefl, gre, and to pay WES.


This same school charged me 30,000 to send my transcript, only for them to tell me they couldn't find my result..

You need to see the way I was heating under sun walking from one office to another all in the name of result. Had to take leave from work to visit Akungba in ondo state all the way from Lagos that I was almost sacked because of my constant absence from work.

I don't know what else to do since July, every person's involved were just passing me to one another like volleyball. I even gave them copy of the unofficial records I do keep while in school and yet, they refused it.

Been frustrated is an understatement, I'm totally depressed. I just pray God help me to survive this period. My sponsor is even getting weary.

aanu007:
Which sniper if I may ask? Hope it is not the one I'm thinking?

Exactly same one you are thinking of. I'm seriously frustrated

Irony of life.....

I introduced a friend to this thread some times back and he turned a visa agent over night.


Meanwhile, my Alma Mata still refuse to release my transcript on the grounds that they couldn't find my 100level results. This is after 6 years of graduation from the school oooo.

Academic affairs said I should go to dept, my department said I should go to course advisor. Course advisor said I should go to hod. HOD said I should go back to exams and records to hold them responsible because for me to have graduated, obtained degree certificate, and served, then it means all my results had been sent to the Senate as at the time of my graduation.


The only help they are willing to do for me is to convert me to direct entry which won't go well because my proposed school requires WES. and WES requires all my results. I'm frustrated.


Good GPA for that matter. I have been on this transcript issue since July this year. I have missed spring 2018 period, now hoping for fall and yet, no transcript.


I'm depressed, frustrated. Tots of "sniper" have been filling my mind lately.

I heard that President Buhari would be visiting Anambra state on Wednesday for the APC's final lap of Tony Nwoye's campaign.
What on earth will the Igbo hater tell us.?
1.A man who has not seen any Anambra man or woman worthy to be appointed in a meaningful position in his government.
2.A man who has no project awarded in any part of Anambra state and to be commissioned on his visit.
3.A man whose killer soldiers snuffed lives and maimed scores of Anambra people who marched with the proscribed IPOB in Nkpor last year.
4.A man who would have appointed an Hausa man to govern Anambra state if not that the constitution will not allow him.
5.A man who has not condemned the nefarious activities of his murderous brother herdsmen on Igbo land.
6.A man who has sacked all the Anambra state born top federal civil servants and secretly replaced them with his northern brothers.
7.A man who has not dropped a trip of sand in continuation of the second Niger Bridge since he came to power.
8.A man who annually during Christmas period would station soldiers and police men on the foot of River Niger Bridge along Lagos /Onitsha federal highway to frisk and seize bags of rice bought by our brothers for the yuletide.
9.A man who since he assumed office in 2015 had stopped the payment of entitlements to former Vice President Dr.Alex Ekwueme until the most senior surviving Igbo political office holder collapsed in his home recently.
10.A man whose government lied that they have approved money for the treatment of Ekwueme abroad where as they didn't.
11.A man who proscribed IPOB but romances the murderous Fulani herdsmen
12.A man whose APC controlled National Assembly passed the NorthEast Development Commission but rejected the SouthEast Development Commission.
13.A man who refused to implement the 2014 Constitutional Conference Report that suggested an additional state in the Southeast to equal that of other geopolitical zones.
14.A man who does not see the need to dredge the River Niger for Igbo traders to stop using Lagos ports for their importations but have wasted billions of dollars in search of crude oil in Lake Chad basin.
15.What promises made to Igbos in the run up to the 2015 Presidential election have been fulfilled by Buhari?
Please don't accuse me of hate speech.I can't help but only say the truth.

Pls share this until it gets to Aso Villa.

Usually I don't do this.

Please go get some sense and stop all this ugwu hatred.

Hello house, I need naira, I have $1000 to exchange. Sorry, I won't be able to help anyone pay for SEVIS.

Is it possible to fund a dollar account domicile in Nigeria?, if yes, I will need it

deyondanni:
Pls any one going to alcorn state 4 fall 2∅18?

I also applied to the school. Would have meet up with spring 2018 but my school is still delaying my transcript which I couldn't get for evaluation. So I will be shooting for fall 2018.

It's practically uneasy for someone who don't know you to reference you.

You may seek help of people whom you are physically connected to.

Dancingpotato:
I dont know the best way to help, but that direct entry stuff is an option too. that carry over would look like a new course anyway bcz u don't have the record of where you failed it.

but my strong opinion is this, give them the 100level result you have with you, so far they couldn't find theirs.

I hope that helps

That's the problem, they aren't accepting it.

They said they won't accept my own copy since that can't verify the credibility

Hello house , I want to add a chat platform on my site. Where everyone can come and chat. Which free chat can I use to achieve my aim

Hello my nairaland family. Please I need advice.

I am having a pathetic situation with my school for over 2 months now. I applied for official transcript from academic unit and I was told that they could not find my 100level results. I
Was told to go to my department and tell them to resend it. On getting to my department, they also said they can't find my 100level results. They have been searching for over 2 months according to them and yet no positive results. This same school graduated me 5 years ago and issued my original BSc certificate.


I have cried to both academic unit and my faculty to help me and not spoil my life as I can't meet up with spring 2018 again, I don't want fall to pass me by and my official transcript is the only delaying factor to the schools I have applied to.


After I have disturbed my faculty severally, the secretary is suggesting that they should convert me to direct entry student instead of jambite and with that, I won't need my 100level results. But my concern is that I failed a course in 100level which was re-written in 2nd year. Won't that be a red flag to schools I am applying to?,. Seeing just one first year result in a transcript?.


My family is suggesting we sue the school and the department to court. Won't this complicate issues further?. I'm just confused. It pained me that I couldn't meet up with spring. I don't want to miss the next fall.

So, airforce one never blow since 2005?

pender:
pls , i need help in getting a sch in the state , i want to do my masters .

There are 4000+ universities in USA, no one will help you to pick one.

Start researching by yourself using Google, bestschoolvalue, usanews and other search tools,


Or pay agents who will help you to do your research (not recommended)

No, WES does not include failed courses in WES evaluation, only in the year they were passed.

Thanks so much. My mind is now at rest.

lasthero:
Hello, I need some clarifications from WES Experts in the house.

Does WES evaluate carryover courses twice?.

I mean when a course is failed in one level and re-taken in another level and passed. Will both levels be evaluated? Or only the year passed?


Cc LagosismyHome

I need help pls

Hmm

Hello house!!! Need your honest opinion on this situation about Murray State university.. I applied some sleep months ago to the school and I asked my school (undergraduate school) to send my transcript as usual to the School. they told me to ask my school to resend it again " There have been some discrepancies with some transcripts that's why I ask you to have the Transcripts sent again directly to me" which I applied also to my school to resend it. only to get this message from them saying!
I have told my undergraduate school and they said they will send them a massage and the truth is what is the best way to do it.. Should I forget it or what. please help me .i need some urgent response to this situation because I'm terrified. I called the school and she was confident that it's was a Fraudulent and Transcript!!! WHAT SHOUlD I am dO?

lagosismyhome

This one is strong. If it is an official transcript, then you may need to visit your school for Enquiries. So strange

LagosismyHome:
how easy is this statement. ..... from my experience its very difficult to find these loans except if you have a US cosigner which is equally hard

Yeah, you are right.

kindaguy:
guys pls which university in US is quite affordable.. Thanks

You may use Google, usnews, bestschoolvalue and several others to make your search online.

kindaguy:
Hello house... Is it possible for someone to get a part time work while studying? and if someone is not able to pay up his complete fees before that particular session ends, what happens?

Yes. You can get a work study program but you will be limited to 20 hours of work in a week which I'm sure it won't save up to your tuition.


As per your second question. I think there are several private loans you can subscribe to incase you couldn't pay up.

Reasons like this is why most schools will request you submit financial statement before offering you an admission
