olarwarlay: @imperiouxx - please i need your help. I remember you made mention of registering and sending your documents from the MMIA airport, could you please tell me how to go about sending my documents that same way?. Where do i go to at the airport?, or is there a post office inside the airport?.@Olarwalay, r u in lagos? If so, then I will strongly advise you send all ur documents through Nipost office in Ikeja. Instead of going through unneccesary stress. I sent my admission package last month to my schools in USA, and they replied me by mail in 7 working days and told me dey hv received my documents. I paid #700 for registered mail wth tracking number for each package. And all my documents were delivered with 7 working days. Nipost is very cheap and very reliable nw.. Cheers bro... |
talk2D: I doubt that Nipost is really reliable.@talkD, I dnt think so.. Because my sister sends package frequently to USA through Nipost and it gets there at exactly 7 working days. She even sent a package to Austria just last year december and it got to Austria at exactly d same 7 working days as well. Nipost is nw becoming reliable. Jst try to pay for registered mail if possible so u track ur documents and feel safe. Maybe u didn't write the address correctly dt was why it was difficult for them to deliver ur package. Because two different post office can't make d same mistake at d same time. So the mistake came directly from u bro. Cheers bro. |
[quote author=omo-yankee]This is a good thread with tons of info for people seeking to study in the US. I know it can sometimes be an herculean task getting a US student visa, but with information like those on this thread and with persistence, you will surely get the visa. And about paying for tuition, there are some schools that give you full scholarships and you don't have to pay a dime, but you still have to show proof of sponsorship.[/quote]@Omo-yankee. Wht skul gives FULL scholarship... Is it undergraduate or masters.. Because most skuls in US give FULL scholarship to masters students only.. Pls shed more light as I intend going for undergraduate dis fall... |
Karpurt: @mr swagger, I can understand your points but can you please do@frankurt oh sorry I thought u were a guy. My bad!! Lol!!! check dis schools out; Eastern Michigan university Northern Michigan University Southern arkansas University Southeast missouri state university Cameron university East carolina university Kentucky state university Western illinois university Northern illinois university Texas state university Northwest missouri state university Louisiana state university. But please make sure u get their email from their website and mail dem. Because some schools change their policy for tuition deposit. So make sure u confirm from dem first before u make conclusions and start applying to the schools.. Cheers dear... |
Karpurt: @mr swagger, I can understand your points but can you please do ferdimako: Which ones have demanded full enrollment deposits from you?@frankurt oh sorry I thought u were a guy. My bad!!

Karpurt: I discovered that most U.s.a Universities and colleges acceptNo ooooo, @karpurt, do ur research very well. 70% of the schools in USA don't ask for deposit compared to UK Universities dt require a large sum of money to be deposited before Visa documents will be given to you. What dey do in USA universities is dt they will give u ur admission letter and form i-20 after u hv showed proof of financing ur studies for 1year wth ur Bank statement. Then after u hv gotten ur visa and traveled to USA, when u r doing ur registration in school, before u start classes u will then be required to pay 10% of ur tuition fee or even more. Then the remaining tuition will be paid installmentally. Hope u undastand bro.... Cheers.... |
kunlewoye: @Pacsinzu,@kunlewoye, I would strongly advise you to tell ur principal to address d letter as To whom it may concern just in case u decide to use it again for future purposes in other fields and areas.. |
bigfrancis21: Since you said you can't know in advance the scholarship amount to be gotten, you won't be able to say for sure whether the amount covers your full expenses or part of it. The best thing for you to do will be to tick 'YES'. Then if in the end the scholarship stipend doesn't cover your whole expenses then you might have to get an on-campus job,that is if the scholarship conditions and agreement permits it.@Bigfrancis, thank you so much. I appreciate ur kind gesture. I will do as you said. Cheers bro!!! One luv!!!! |
imperiouxx: That was my point earlier on but those that know more about this said getting H1B from Nigeria will be hard. Canada skilled workers program might be good but it's closed for now and it takes ages before one is given the visa. imperiouxx: That was my point earlier on but those that know more about this said getting H1B from Nigeria will be hard. Canada skilled workers program might be good but it's closed for now and it takes ages before one is given the visa.@Oga imperiouxx thanks a lot for ur response. The school don't indicate the amount of scholarship dey give. They just tell u to feel the application and write Essay and wait for decision. So are u saying it will be better for me to put tick NO in d form? |
Hello guys, I need advice on this. I am currently filling my scholarship application form to a school in USA. 1. They asked for my high school GPA. Pls how can I calculate my high school GPA. 2. The school asked in the scholarship form if I will be working on or off campus. But I honestly intend working while studying just to pay little bills. Please should I put YES to the question, hope it won't reduce the amount of scholarship the school will give me. Thanks. Looking forward to your anticipated response. |
bigfrancis21: For no 1, not exceeding 6 months is ok.@Big francis thank you very much for the help and information rendered. May God bless u abundantly...... |

Yvete: Yea, I'll forward the PDF file to your email. I highlighted the ones applicable for Undergrads in the US from which you'd have to find the ones for IT. Fall admission is by April so enjoy the holidays and start studying for SAT. You'll get the visa next time.@Yvete, Pls send me the PDF file as well to my email - Kellysilver2015@yahoo.com. I need schools which have scholarships for undergrad in Business Management. And Yvete can you pls tell me the range of SAT score that can guarantee me a scholarship? What minimum SAT can one have to get a high scholarship? Thanks |
talk2D: Thank you so much.i'm really grateful.The issue is, i am not in Lagos right now.I'm in Ibadan.What do you think?@talk2D, since you are in ibadan, no problem, I will have a Bus traveling to ibadan deliver it to you at ibadan... Here is my email kellysilver2015@yahoo.com. Make sure you indicate it on the subject of your email that you are from Nairaland so that I will be able to know it's you even when it enters my Spam mail. Contact me so we can talk about how to go about it. |
dnpasion: Went for my second interview today in lagos and the black american guy interviewed me but got denied again. I'm so sad and even got depressed ever than before.I wasn't nervous today and I gave all my answers without fear. Anyway here is how it all went:-@dnpassion, sorry about the denial. God has a reason for everything. But don't just give up on your dreams. Successful people never give up. Keep striving for success. Honestly speaking if you ask me, Then I will tell you got denied because of the SAT. If you notice here that the VO even questioned that how come you got admitted.. One thing you guys need to know is that when it comes to f-1 student visa, you don't follow school Rules. You go by the Embassy RULES.. Standarlized tests are important most especially students who have graduated from high school for a long time. The VO use the SAT to measure your academic ability and strength and see if you are ready for college and to take challenging courses... So my brother, take time to prepare yourself, take the SAT and know and have faith that you shall get the visa the 3rd time. Nothing is impossible. God's favour shall be upon you.. |
dejik2002: Hello everyone. I am new on this thread but it's been very useful to me. I would be going for my interview next week. But I av a little challenge with my gre scores. I wrote the exam in nov 7 but for some reason that I don't understand ets said the exam was cancelled and I don't have access to my scores online. Please what do I do if I am asked to present the scores though I have my toefl scores. Please advise@dejik2002, your case is simple. You don't need to construct any lie. Since your interview is next week and you have no time left, Tell the VO that you registered for the exam but it was cancelled. I would have suggested you take another Gre but your interview date is very close, which is next week, so you just have one possible option which is what I stated above. Make sure you inform the VO that you registered for the exam oooo. And if possible you can print out the email you received from ETS about the cancelation of the GRE exam and take it along with you with your TOEFL score sheet as proof.. Let the VO believe you. Because seeing is believing... Wish you Success. God's favour shall shower on you in jesus name. Amen. Cheers.. |

seedord247: No not bcus you didnt write SAT but bcus the answer you gave him is not that strong enough to convince him why the school excempt you and more also... What do you mean by voluntarily job in your dad's company@seedord247, I don't think it makes sense for one to tell the VO that jamb denied you twice. That is the last thing anyone who is going for interview should say. This will raise an eyebrow that maybe the person is dull or not serious in his academics.. Instead try other possibles ideas.. I luv the idea you gave about computer schools. That makes sense to me... That's much better than telling the VO that you were denied Jamb twice.. |
talk2D: Pls do i need to take SAT before i can get a UG scholarship or grant?@talkD, if you are going for undergraduate studies, you definately need SAT for scholarship.. No school in US will give you scholarship without SAT, you even need it also when applying for Visa. And let me remind you on this, the FULL meaning of SAT is "Scholarship Aptitiude Test" So the meaning says it all. You definately need SAT for scholarship. Secondly, it's not all about just taking the SAT, it's about studying hard for it and passing it. It took me 7 months to prepare hard for the SAT and thank God my efforts were not in vain. I hope u r prepared. If you have a high score with good GPA, you will probably have a high amount of scholarship. I have some SAT textbooks I used to prepare for the exam, I could give out to you. Let me know if you are interested. I did my SAT last month and I did brillantly well, just waiting for God's favour and take-over. Cheers |

jchatty: Pls how much does the SAT Registration cost? I will like to register before the closing date. Thanks@jchatty, SAT registration is #14,175. Register at GIEVA organisation marina victoria island lagos. I did my SAT last month November and dt was the amount I paid. Don't go through an agent ooo.. They charge too high. An agent charged my friend 50k for SAT. mehnn I felt like crying. Many agents are criminals. They rip you off.. All those agent register students at GIEVA at a low rate and they will charge students 10 times the amount they registered. So go through GIEVA. That's the Genuine and the only registered and official SAT registration centre. It's just #14,175 naira.. Chikena.. Cheers.. |

Hello house, Oga imperioux and others I need your advice on this. I intend applying for admission for undergraduate fall 2013 resumption. I went to my high school to get all necessary documents with the transcripts from the school. My high school package everything for me. My question here is; should I include the university in USA application form and the bank statements along with the package my school did for me. Because my school teacher said I shud send the bank statement and all other documents with a separate file directly to the school in USA by myself, but they said if I want they can help me include the bank statement and other documents and send it for me. Because this documents are too many and I hope to send everything at once. Pls will dis be accepted. Because many schools in USA said documents should come officially directly from the high school. Pls who is in d same similar situation here or who can help me on this. Pls I need advise before I make the wrong steps. |
Snazzygirl: @ Obusco4lyfe ...thanks.@snazzygirl, go to ikeja high court, those people that call people for affidavit outside the court room will get it done for you at a verryyy cheap rate. I did mine yesterday. I notarized 35 documents for just 4k. When I asked for the price inside the court room they were telling me #500 for each document and #17,500 for all 35 documents. . So do it out side the court room. And it's a real notary public. It carried an official stamp, a signature and a seal.. All official by a lawyer. |
eduson002: oh!I am nt using scanned copy anymore@Edusoon 002, what method will you be using? |
eduson002: If the statement is nt older than 3 months then its ok.@Edusoon002, you didn't reply me earlier on wht I asked you. I asked you if your school accepted the scanned Bank statement which you printed out.. |
