Good morning all, please gurus in the house Can need help on this. l got admission in Nottingham Trent university and my school fees is 10,500 GBP, was given a 3000 GBP waiver which reduces the school fees to 7,500 GBP. I am required to pay 3000 GBP before a CAS number will be sent to me. My plans is to take a loan and pay the 3000 GBP for the CAS. And my question is will it be possible for me to hustle there n pay for the loan, remaining school fees which is 4,500 GBP and my living expenses.

Vo: Good morning
Res: Good morning sir

Vo: Have you traveled on another passport before?

Res: I said no sir
Vo: oh sorry I didn't hear that clearly. Why are you going to Austin Peay?
Res: Am going for my masters in computer science and quantitative methods with a concentration in information assurance and security but on my l-20 it was written there as Data modeling...(he didn't allow me to finish the statement)

Congrats Sis. Please can you tell me how you went about your funding for Austin Peay. I recently applied for MEd in Education( I am having funding in mind) and have uploaded the documents needed but I just got an email from them requesting for a financial statement, official transcript, passport n ielts scores. All these weren't stated among their requirements when I was applying. Did u evaluate your credentials?

Morning house , my name is Tunde. I Want to apply to Sam Houston university for a master of education is special education. I have bsc (ed) economics and MBA fin & Acct. I put in for MBA cos I am working with the government but have passion for special education more. I want to know if I stand a better chance chosen that school and if there’s anyone going for same programme in USA

Yes I am going for same program. Lets connect Dear

Happiness67:
Are you interested in the school?

Yes, but I wont apply again cus of the evaluation stuff.

Orlarshaynee:
Heard WES is faster, also, some institutions only allow evaluation from WES and maybe ICAS. It depends on where you are applying to, just make sure what ever body you are using for evaluation is acceptable.

OK tanx a lot

To get your Waec transcript, all you need to do is visit Waec office at Yaba Lagos, you'd need to get affidavit from court (this is done opposite Waec building, budget 3-5k for this) you'd need to have a copy of your Waec result, a waec result checking scratch card (WES only accepts scratch cards and not the slip WAEC sells), you'd pay WAEC 10K for confirmation of result and your WES reference number (this would be given to you by WES after you have paid) must be in all documents that you are sending. After all these, you'd have to choose your method of sending these documents to WES, PLEASE DO NOT USE REGULAR NIGERIAN POST, it can take almost two months to get to WES, Select DHL or FedEx.

Just budget 25k to 30k. You should be alright. And also make sure you visit WAEC early cos I think they close by 2pm or something.

For your University's transcript, since you know the cost already, I believe all Universities have a postal service where you can enquire about the cost to send to USA. I can't predict the cost of that because it varies from state to state.

Thanks a lot Bro. I appreciate

Why do most people go for Wes evaluation when their are a lot of evaluating firm. I want to use Span-Tran n evaluate my credentials cus it is cheaper and all I need to send is my degree transcript. It is recognized by Naces n most schools I want to apply to recognizes it. Is there any advantages of using Wes? I want to know so that I don't make mistakes.

Miaanita:

Congrats Sis, I wish mine will be like yours. Please how did u pay your application fee? I have submitted my application since one week now but I haven't paid the application fee cus d whole thing is somehow confusing.

lexychuks:
For university admissions, it's best to choose the course by course evaluation. Either you use WES icap or WES basic. The WES icap costs 205 USD (74k naira) and the WES basic costs 160 USD (58k naira). WES Icap ensures your records are saved with them and you can easily send the transcript to any other school at a later date. The WES basic doesn't offer this. Then there's cost for sealed envelope.

For shipping the evaluated documents to you, you could either choose 7 USD for standard delivery or 75USD for courier delivery. For the WES icap just budget 249USD (91K) to get a copy and to send to your school of choice.

Your transcript has to come directly from your school due to incidents of fraud. Plus you'd need to send your WAEC transcript from WAEC Office directly and waec scratch card.

Good day Bros, please can you put me through on how to go about this Wes evaluation, especially on how to get my Waec transcript. I earlier wanted to use Span-tran to evaluate my credentials since it is recognized in Naces and they can help me to evaluate n verify(146k) my transcript cus I have my transcript with me thus saving me the stress of applying for another one from my school which will cost 30k excluding the cost of sending it to them. Now I decided to use Wes cus I noticed that it is what most people use. Please can you explain to me on how to get my waec transcript. How much do you think everything will cost me? Getting my transcript from my school will cost me 30k, d cost of sending it to Wes is what I don't. Please do help a sister, I am really confused on wat to do

Happiness67:
