Gospelozy: 2.54/5.0?. Honest truth, your chances of funding is very low 1. Evaluate your cgpa to 4.0 using WES free calculator to know where you stand 2. Hit Google and search "lowest out of state tuition in texas" replace texas with every other states you wish to study. (since low tuition is your priority) 3. From the search results, go through the school websites and check each school's Admission requirement to see if your cgpa meets the admission criteria. Some schools consider your last 60hours credit (300l and 400l) evaluation incase your first 2 years GPA is bad. While some schools decide by the entire GPA. So checking each of the school portals from your search result in NO.2 will tell you where you belong. 4. Since your proposed course is STEM, most of the schools might need GRE. prepare well to ace it as it will help to compliment your low cgpa during admission decisions. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Godchangemylife: Oga. Visa fee is about 70k or there about. Sevis fee is now 350usd (127,000 naira) If your schools require waec evaluation, WES icap cost $145 (52,900 naira). If your school requires test of English language, TOEFL cost 50k naira on the average. If eventually you get admission and get your visa, You will still pay the new visa issuance fee of 80k or thereabout. The cheapest flight from lagos to Newyork is about is about 400usd. (146,000). You see all these fees above, no school in the US will pay them for you even if you get a full ride into Harvard or MIT. you have to pay them all by yourself. I will reframe the same question that someone asked you earlier. If you cannot afford just $50 to submit applications, how do you intend to sort out the other fees running up to 400k?. I like your quote of what you want that isn't wanting you. But there is the other side called REALITY. 3 Likes |

hammed71: No. Some schools still accept applications until November. However, the only problem is with visa. You have to wait to get admission, You have to wait for I20 to arrive Nigeria, You have to book visa appointment And you might not be lucky to get a date before your resumption. So, it's a risk. Try to submit applications. If admitted and was able to get I20 and interview date before your resumption, fine. If not, you can always defer your admission to the next term |

odayofunmi: 2.41/5.0?, 1. Evaluate your cgpa to 4.0 using free wes calculator 2. Use for result to search from google on schools that accepts your "wes result" for your "desired masters course" in USA. 3. Put your personal or family funds together because you have a slim chance of getting funding with that grade. You may lucky for a partial funding if you have higher GRE test score |

Adesegun1: 1. No GRE / Gmat for MBA?, you sound like an unserious student looking for cheap admission. 2. Choosing Franklin University (unranked) over northeastern University with a 40 tie rank? ( check my attachment). You sounded more unserious. If you are a Nigerian V.O . And someone told you he chose odududwa University in ife over covenant University in Ota (both private university), How would your reaction be?, If truely northeastern gave you admission. Pls reschedule your interview and accept that of northeastern University. You have a better chance with it than Franklin. My own opinion, I may be wrong though. 2 Likes

Nad95:. 1. With the loads of resources available online, you can always navigate for help 2. School varies. But most schools in the US allows you to run masters in same college as your undergraduate irrespective of your major. (e.g, bsc in chemistry can run masters in biology). What they do is to check your transcript and see if you meet the required undergraduate courses. If you didn't, you may have to take few undergraduate prerequisite for your masters major. Engage the course/faculty advisors of your proposed schools for enquiries. 3. GRE + CGPA. The higher the GRE score, the higher your chances. Since its stem course, your chances are brighter. |

rkarang: Your cgpa is good.. But for your GRE, it's on average side. Follow this steps. 1. Go to WES website and use the free calculator to convert your grades to 4.0 2. Hit Google and search for masters in business analytics in US and browse through the list of schools. (most schools offer this under MBA though) 3. Go through the requirements of the school and see if your cgpa and GRE score matches (I'm sure your cgpa does). 4. Check through the scholarship opportunities of the schools to see if your profile fit in. 5. Weigh the best options at hand and you may need USnews to compare the ranking. 6. Send in your applications and get ADMITTED 9 Likes 1 Share |

iwriterng: OK my friend. Take a glass of water and let's re-analyse the entire thing to see the blanket you are talking about. This was his post. mrchemist: And this was my reply Muleriders: Now that you have taken a glass of water, now read through the two content and tell me where I laid emphasis on GETTING ADMITTED into a competitive program. I only empasized on getting a full funding for educational course with a 2-2 as almost impossible because of the little funding available for it. And I adviced him to consider masters in CHEMISTRY been a STEM course to have a partial funding advantage with his 2-2. and not on getting admitted with a 2-2 Once again, I appreciate your criticism, but I will advice you to always read and understand the context of an argument before throwing critics. If its that easy for 2-2 to get full scholarship, then 80% of Nigeria graduates should be in US by now because almost every graduates I know had Atleast 2-2. Peace 1 Like |

wickyyolo: 2-2 in Nigeria falls in between 2.5/5 and 3.5/5 if I'm right. The most important thing is to then evaluate your naija 2-2 using the evaluation body which I recommend WES. reason is this, WES doesn't count your carryovers like naija unis do. If you failed a course and passed it in another year as carryover, your previous zero grade won't be recorded. Also, WES do boost cgpa. I had 2.65/5 from naija, and when I evaluate with WES, it gave me 2.79/4 and I got an unconditional admission with it. Like I said earlier, most admission in the US are in two categories. Conditional admission for low grades and unconditional admission for high grades. Some schools also combine your cgpa with GRE scores + LOP to judge admissions. The bottom line is that schools vary in terms of admission process. In my school (Southern arkansas University) , with cgpa of 2.2/4, you can get a conditional admission (you will be place on a condition in your first year, when you passed the condition, your restriction will be removed). Although, other factors also surface. Check the attachments below Schools like alcorn State University, Morgan state University, and some schools in texas offers conditional admission with 2.0/4.0 sef if you have good GRE scores. Engage google search, you will be amazed that there are good schools that will offer admissions with low cgpa and good standardise exam scores 2 Likes 1 Share

But you know you aren't supposed to be asking these questions on a public forum like this where VOs do come to have break lounge and study what naija applicants/students are up to lately?. You are in the US to study and do legalise campus job only, not to trade and run export services. "...

iwriterng: Nice contribution my friend. But if you check his post very well, and also check my reply that you quoted. You will notice that it centered on "full scholarship with a 2-2 degree from Nigeria" and not about admission. I myself came here with a poor 2-2 from naija. If you check my replies to another user, you will see where I said I have a friend in alcorn State University who is running masters on conditional admission with a third class from naija. It is what it is. Ask anyone schooling presently in US or any of our ancestors like lagosismyhome, they will tell you how educational courses are poorly funded in USA,. Where stem is getting over 100million usd endowment, MBA may get like 40m while education may get less than 10million usd. And with the little funds available, you are competing with other people who have higher cgpas. That is why I said he has a better chance with chemistry than with science education (chemistry education). Its good to contribute and give constructive criticism, but lets always understand the context of the argument first. Peace 3 Likes |
