Vwederian:

How far guy? Can I take the photocopy of my statement of account to the embassy?

No you can't. Get your sponsor to print a new statement for you.

Hello great nairalanders,
I want to ask if one can use a statement of account of 9.8 million for certificate of finance to get the form i-20?
I'm applying to Texas southern university for Msc computer science. (Spring 2018).
I await your responses. Thank you.

Find out how much in USD that is required for your sponsor to have to cover your 1yr expense & multiply by 361. If its equal to or above 9.8 you are good to go.

Good evening house. You guys are doing a great job.
Please if you have been accepted for Spring 2018 admission at Texas A&M University, Kingsville, let's relate abeg. Thanks.

Tosin, I was also admitted into Tamuk with the New Graduate Student Scholarship (in-state tuition waiver)
I hope you got it too. If you didn't, mail the graduate school & bluntly request for it.

Good morning.

Still available.

Visa Transcript.

First I need to state it clearly that God + preparation is the key to F1.
I appreciate this nairaland family. Special thanks to the Boss lady Lagosismyhome - you are a blessing to this family, Imperioux & Bigfrancis - your careful and detailed advise to the upcoming is of great value, Twoods- your constructive criticism sha..but the hard truth has to be told, Walspring - Keep touching lives.

My interview was on 12th-Oct.
So I got to the embassy by 5am & met them 'staple your docs & get coloured copy of your data page' people. Thankful for the knowledge I acquired here...
I was interviewed by a white guy on window 3.

Me: "Good morning".

Vo: ignores me

Me: (hia!!!ogbeni ogini kwa) "Good morning"

Vo: Looks up & smiles "Good morning my man"

Me: "How was your night?"

Vo: "Fine fine. Yours?"

Me: *Relaxed at this point "it was fine too thanks."

Vo: "I see you are going to school, which university?"

Me: "I am going to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville for my Msc in Environmental Science. I will be specialising on Env Tech & Assessment."

Vo: "Tell me about your undergrad?"

Me: "I studied Civil Engineering @ FUTO.. I specialized on Env/Water Resources Eng. For my undergrad project, I carried out a dissertation on the Design of an integrated solid waste management system for futo community. It was at this point I became aware of the impacts of human activities on the environment so I made up my mind on a career in env remediation & protection. I also.." (vo cuts in)

Vo: "Tell me the main problem of solid waste in Nigeria?"

Me: "The major challenge with solid waste in Nigeria is improper disposal. Here, we practice open dumping and sometimes dispose of our waste in waterbodies hence polluting the environment, breeding rodents & pests, and disrupting biodiversity in the rivers & streams..."(I sha kept on blabbing)

Vo: (listening & nodding in concurrence).. "Tell me the factors you consider when designing an engineered sanitary landfill

Me: *whistles(haba!!! From where kwanu).. "Well I would consider location & topography. The landfill must be cited away from the settlement & at a place where seepage from the waste won't affect the underlying aquifer. (*Me I sha wanted to use jargon so it ll look like I know what I am saying very well).

Vo: "So why this school?"

Me: "I am inspired to study at siue because unlike my other admits, the department at siue provides and maintains long-term field sites for monitoring environmental remediation processes. These field sites would be of great benefit to me as my intended area of research focuses primarily on environmental remediation using phytoremediation technologies (*at this time the vo was shaking his head in disapproval then cuts in...)

Vo: "I can see you rehearsed for this.. ok tell me; what fiels sites are you talking about?"

Me: "Well you know that Illinois is nicknamed the Prairie state because of the abundance of grassy plains like the oak savannahs. Siue in collaboration with the us.epa gives the students and faculty access to these restored sites for research. (*He started smiling & somehow at this point I knew he was going to approve me.)

Vo: "Who is paying for this?"

Me: Told him

Vo: "What does he do?"(*begins to seperate my i-20 & sevis from my passport)

Me: Told him.

Vo: Picks white paper and says the magic words. It was really magical. People who have experienced this can confirm.

I advice you prepare well and don't cram your responses as it kinda irritates the impatient ones.

Please pray.

I hereby usher in more Spring 2018 approved visa transcripts.

MackyNaija:

Scholarship mail comes a few days later - give it a week.

Latest updates -
It seems the scholarship is only valid for two semesters - fall/spring or spring/summer or summer/fall. Spoke to a dude during our Independence day celebration that came last year Spring (2016), he was saying he couldn't extend his to Fall 2016 semester and he didn't do Summer 2016.
So he only did in-state for one semester, word of mouth (direct word sha).

Spring entrants take note.
I will still ask around for further info.

Also, there are very limited on campus jobs here so package properly before coming. [s]I wish I attended a bigger school, I need to jab[/s]

Ok.. Thanks bro.

TooMuchSauce:


At all man, although I've gotten an offer from another school in Texas(without scholarship though) TAMUK grad school is yet to even update the documents they received on my application portal. Those guys are a joke!

No.. something might have been wrong.. maybe they didn't receive your application fee. I did get an offer from them on 27/09 & on my application portal, the admission decison was updated too. No scholarship yet though.

@MackyNaija
Does the scholarship mail drop with the admission mail?

TooMuchSauce:


I've done that quite a number of times bro (either via phone calls or emails), and it's always the same ol' story:

"We are working on the documents in the order they were received, please be patient".

So right now, i'm just chilling with my fingers crossed, hoping they do the needful asap.

Bro, have you gotten an admission decision from TAMUK yet? If yes; did it come with the New Graduate Student Scholarship

Oga MackyNaija I hail o.

So sad I haven't gotten anyone to help me proof read my SOP.... The ones that offered are not even replying their pms... I just feel so bad right now

Send me a PM bro

Good afternoon everyone,

I've been following this thread for few weeks now. I need help at this point. Please, if you can, I'd appreciate it.

So I'm trying to apply to some schools in the states and I'm stuck at the point of statement of purpose. Did some research and it looks quite a bit uneasy like I'd thought it would be.

Please, I'm open to suggestions and advise from everyone. Or if I can get a sample SOP to leverage on, I certainly won't mind either.

Apologies for disturbing you'll. I look forward to someone helping me.

Thanks.

Baba Twoods & Folmus said it all.

Send me a PM..
I could help.

Pictures of the phone please

I would appreciate the materials aswell.
