Hope this BGSU waived GRE and TOEFL tests? I registered GRE with one AFFORDABLE TESTS and he scammed me. I have been so worried and depressed. I gave up on my dream schools. But seeing your posts, one need to bounce back. I need to capitalize on this virus saga period to submit more applications since tests and application fee are waived at the moment. Hope it is the same with Rowan University and Stevens Institute of technology?

Sorry about your experience bro, Never give up on your dreams bro..yeah

Princekenuk:
Please I need more information from you. I want to apply to these two schools. My field is Biology/Chemistry. Hope they didn't collect application fee? I need your email please.

No problem, I was able to get a application fee waiver for Stevens and luckily international graduate application is free in Rowan. You can send me a pm via my nairaland mail. Cheers

It is not a problem. Move on with the application, or contact your department or graduate office about it.

Oh okay, thank you

Hello guys...good evening, I submitted application for ms business Intelligence and analytics to Stevens institute of technology and shortly after..I discovered they waived letters of recommendation for me on the portal. I just submitted an application to Rowan university today and they too have just waived one letter of recommendation on my application portal. I'm beginning to wonder why this and if anybody has experienced such here...my experienced ogas in the house..pls shed some light. Thanks

Hey guys,

I see a few people here applying for courses that would barely provide opportunities here in a bid to just leave Nigeria.

I understand we all have our goals and aspirations. However, If you’re paying out of your pocket, I’m not sure a Master’s degree in Biology, Public Administration & co. puts you in the best position of opportunities here in the USA. Even if you aren’t, you may need to have a rethink and properly strategize.

Arriving the US is only the beginning. You’ll need internship(s) at some point. You’ll need a job at some point. And as we all know, things are getting more & more stringent.

To work full time, you’ll need to find a company that’s willing to file a H1-B petition for you & that does not come easy, especially in non-competitive fields. It can even be very challenging finding a company that would let you use your OPT as work authorization.

If you also think you can arrive the US, get married to some citizen within a few months & have your work authorization, please have a rethink & do your due diligence. Every PR filing now has to be accompanied by a I944 (Declaration of self sufficiency) & this document has been designed to easily detect sham marriages & reduce number of qualified applicants.

It’s better paying through your nose for decent courses in engineering (Industrial, Electrical, Mechanical), IT, select management sciences, than being fully funded in Biology, Public Administration, etc. You won’t understand the implications till you’re stuck & forced to start all over. Look for cheap schools & do something that would afford you a lot of opportunities.

A word is enough for the wise.

Well said..but please shed more light on the point you made about getting a company that would let you use OPT as work authorization.

How much is this powder? Where are you located?

Okay, Please I just heard about stanbic Investment Funds...does anyone here have any info to share as Regards this?

emmanuelewumi:
Go for Treasury Bill

Congratulations man...I'm really impressed with your story

hopsydboss:
OP

Lemme make this clear; a successful marriage or family doesn't care about how much you have in your bank account. Find a girl who care about you and your future. Grow together.

I am lucky to find one when I was in the university. We are both graduate then, I earn just 60k monthly now, she earns equivalently 70k including her nysc.

I got a pending offer with FBN. We both are starting to write good professional courses. We save together, we both do 15k monthly each in mutual funds, bonds, eurobonds, most times she do more. It all to an agreed objective. We are during that toward having our own home before we get married.

We are both poor now but the future is obviously better with the grace of God. Find a girl who will love you by who you are now and grow together.

I am 25 too.

I have investments in stanbic MMF and plan to liquidate and invest in TBills or Bonds but dont know which one will be the best to go for as MM rates seem to be dropping now.

emmanuelewumi:
Thank you.

You can ask your questions here and let us cross fertilise ideas together.

Thanks for your wise words, I would like to have a conversation woth you sir.. I already sent you a PM thanks

emmanuelewumi:
That is why diversification is very important, you can convert your N100 million worth of Treasury Bill to cash in less than 24 hours.

Also good to have operate within the confines of the law and have an emergency reserve.

I don't believe in selling an asset or Investment in other to fund consumption, the returns from the investment should fund the consumption or emergency.

You can sell one of your houses to expand your business if the opportunities from the business are enormous.

In 2020, my prayer is that we will not have any cause to sell our assets or Investments in order to take care of emergencies

Gpopsicle:

Gpopsicle:

Easternheart:
Hello house,

I checked the required documents for Nigeria, I discovered that WAEC has being removed from the list of documents for Nigerians.

volo112:
it is best u use a computer to write the test, dont use fone or tablet
some questions come with time while others do not.
u can be distracted if u use a cafe
if u have a computer, do it at night
it says approx 1hr to write it, but u can spend more than that

Please can you tell me what the test is like?? And useful resources to prepare for it. Thanks

Maj196:
Did I just see someone has spent 400k to learn something that is free to learn on YouTube... smh

Lol..I was shocked too bro

zclass:
Web development is great!
I started learning web development in my 300L and now I'm a Senior developer. Im now 25, studied a science course.
I started HTML/CSS when I was 18/19.
It requires a minimum of 2years of learning before you are regarded as a Junior developer.
You can start learning in this order: HTML -> CSS -> JavaScript -> PHP or Python or Perl -> Frameworks e.g Django, Laveral
-> React -> content management system e.g WordPress....... And the list continues.

Infact, as a developer, you are expected to learn on the job
Concerning people who are advising you to go for Fashion design, well, I have good news for you: you can combine both!
Finally, I would advice that since you already developed interest in web programming, don't let it down for anything!
You can always combine web development with whatever career or Job you do.

If I was less busy I would have invited you to whatsapp so we can chat.

Exactly what I was saying, now you can easily chart a clear path to get started from this and many more suggestions to come.

chinchonglee:
Aside from the fact that even learning online is still somehow expensive, there re things that needs to to explained extensively in programming.

I agree with you, but I think it's better for the OP to be specific in what she wants to do as a programmer.. we shouldn't just be talking around programming as a whole. This way, she can get better insights into what she really needs. One love guys!!!

Blazinglevel:
you are right. I know several guys that are self taught and they did not spend much. They have lots of materials and videos but they devote their time. You learn more by lots of practice and project creation. You may pay for some stuff though but its all on you to develop yourself

Exactly, you have said it all. With focus and self determination the sky is your starting point

chinchonglee:
Sis... Programming is very very large nd will take u over 2yrs to be a good programmer.

Furthermore, it is fvcking expensive. I ve done only a year nd av spent almost 400k.

My advice! If age nd time is on ur side, learn programming. If not learn graphics nd other simple design then add it to fashion designing.

Why would you just conclude programming is very expensive when u can learn virtually every thing free of charge online? @OP kindly find a niche of interest in the world of programming and take up free online courses to start with.

@ IBNgemini...try this out
