If you check admission requirement for schools I think a school that requires evaluation will always state it.

However from my end:
Ohio State University
University of Rochester
University of Delaware
Clark University
Southern Methodist University

Please don't be limited to these schools... Do your research.

If your GPA is on the low side, I will recommend that you use WES to evaluate your transcript and use it to apply. It's a trick you use to put your best foot forward.

Thanks to sirRiddy, Ponpon, Chidindo, Ojah, Walspring and a lot of people I don't know their moniker.Nairaland has really help my life,
CGPA (3.22/5), (WES 3.02/4), GRE below 300 ( very embarrassing,but my job didn't allow me read)

TOEFL - 84 ( didn't use it)

Masters in Mathematics-
Schools applied to
Etsu- Admitted (Got 50% scholarship, the dept cord said I should rewrite for an assistantship)

Tennessee tech uni- Admitted ( TA is filled, but got a mail to notify me of an RA in July)

Mtsu- Rejected
Uni of Idaho- Rejected
Georgia southern uni- Accepted with GTA, full tuition waiver and stipend

Youngstown state uni- Accepted but because of cgpa, they said I need to fund myself for the fall, then a GA in spring if I perform well in fall

Eastern Kentucky uni- Based on my rappor with the dept cord she is always mailing me to apply that she will offer me GA, but I didn't complete the application.

Advice
Don't feel discourage because you don't have a ground breaking profile, this year I saw people with a 2.2 below 3.0 with a GRE below 310 getting full funding , a cgpa of 2.58 got full funding, mail profs, do ur research well,the sky will always be our starting point.

Thank you Nairaland

I went for data capturing on the 3rd of May at Alausa and my passport is not ready yet. I was told there are no booklets presently; I don't know how true that is. I'm a bit apprehensive already cos I need it urgently.

Amazing post. I have nothing to add to that. You make really good points and I was surprised you've not traveled before. You make more sense than some people who have spent years down here. I wish you the best on your exams. Please if you're considering migrating, do it the right way and you'll see how smooth your life would be over time.

Dear Nairalanders.

I am seeking admission into Msc Business Analytics ( STEM verfired) . My concern is that my friend tells me it does not guarantee permanent residency in USA. that i would still be left to chance as its quite difficult to find a company that would file for me.

kindly explain how the OPT thing works?

The first free copy mailed out is free. You can choose to have this first free copy mailed out to your school instead of to you by simply updating your address on your profile to that of the school. Upon WES evaluation, WES will send it to that school. This saves you some money, especially if you are applying to only one school that requires WES evaluation. WES does not care where your first copy is mailed out to. Each subsequent copy after that costs you $37 (including $7 shipping cost). Also, WES will post an electronic version online for you to view, thus you do not really need a hard copy of the transcript.

My brother, material is not even a problem. It was here on nairaland that I got all the needed materials beyond what B.Y Maffit could even give (Soft copy) I can send them to you if you need them. I got them all for free. I can't imagine paying 90k in the name of getting free materials. Difference is more than clear. Moreso; if I had paid 90k for this exam I would have been more tensed preparing for it

Wow! Not up to 24hours ago that I called B.Y maffit’s customer care centre when I was hoping to pay 45k for my GRE registration but to my greatest surprise they said they’ve stopped thier “one time promo” . enabling the amount to go back to its usual price of 90k. I was even begging them online that they should please accept 60k becuase they never told me it was promo. . On getting to nairaland as usual to seek for help I bumped into this superhuman whose nickname is lincoffm... . Chai and choi! He helped me with an affordable price with discount of 50% as I was able to remove change from the initial 45k and still pay for registration. As in ehn. I was at home and my registration was completed without stress. @lincoffm. May the raining showers of blessings continue to fall on you. Let the world say amen

Finally I have written GRE.
I just wrote mine over an hour ago and didn't meet close to my expectations.
Nice one elevatedmind for sharing. We'll just keep trying and hoping.
My scores are:
154V, 157Q. Waiting for the AWA.
The exam seemed far tougher than I anticipated. The sequence was VQVQV.
I started practising over two months back when I scored 308 on PowerPrep.
My practise tests last week and Monday (2days back) where about 320-323, so when I saw my scores it was somewhat depressing. My resolve is not broken.
For those yet to write, practise hard and rest well as elevatedmind mentioned. Endeavour to be at the test venue in time to collect your thoughts.
Thanks to everyone who gave out a helping hand through your advice and materials.

All the best to those ahead!!!
Cheers!!!

The biblical depiction of heaven and hell are all figurative to tell you that blacks are devils and living in hell, and Whites live in heaven. The beat u can do for yourself is to run from hell to heaven since u have the opportunity to.

Hi guys,

I just got admitted (today) for Ms Applied Economics at St. Cloud State, Minnesota. I'm quite worried about the timing - is it too late to start processing my I-20 and Visa application? Orientation starts Jan 3. How long does it take to receive I-20 and get a visa appointment? I need your responses please.
