Guys, which Nigerian bank has the best Dollar to NGN exchange rate?

Also, what is the monthly foreign transaction limit on GTB Master Cards?

Urgent response pleaseeeeeeeeeeee
EducationRe: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by OGreene: 10:55pm On Feb 09, 2017
This 6500 is it not $27. And $27 @325 should be over 8k

seeker88:
It's even cheaper to send TOEFL score with d Access bank visa card because it costs just 6,500. For GRE score ordering, Mafit is cheaper.

Anyone needs Kaplan TOEFL textbook? I forgot to collect mine from BY Mafit. So you will need to pick it up from them at Ikeja, i already told them someone will come on my behalf.

Send a pm.

Aaahhhh, I forgot to collect my Kaplan book from By Mafit. I must ooo. Someone will need it. Thanks for mentioning.

hublot:
I visited the company today. It's located along No. 77 Obafemi Awolowo road (one access bank like dat) around ikeja. Their promo is still on:
GRE is 50k including a free Kaplan material
TOEFL is 45k including a free Kaplan material and a one month free lecture(every Tuesdays and Thursdays).

All the best with your process.
EducationRe: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by OGreene: 7:17pm On Feb 08, 2017
One can equally send scores with BY MAFIT. Its N8,000

Or use a GTB /Access card on ETS website, $27 @325 it will be N8,775.

Scholastica16:
Send at the test centre. The department still knows how to link the official copy with the online application. If you send the scores after the application you'd pay $27 for each score report which is above N14k.
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 11 by OGreene: 9:57pm On Feb 07, 2017
The same way you create an account on ETS website, pay for an appointment and select a date, is what BY MAFIT will do. You either create an account and let them do the reg or they create for you, book the appointment and you log in from the official ETS site.
They have nothing to do with the test venues. I believe JKK is a popular venue. I have used Surulere venue too, okay.

My opinion, going through them will make more people partake of the promo. I registered with them and it was a smooth ride.

Whatever you decide to do, is fine.

I don't remember endorsing CC. I told you guys what the VO said.

Walspring:
What do you expect them to tell you, Do you think they get all their budget from the government to run the embassy just like our government are doing ?

I dont want to type and talk much, [/b]can you apply for the CC since you attended the orientation or asked people around you to apply for CC[b] and lets see the out.

No one ever say they dont grant visa to CC applicants but the chances are very slim and like i always say here that its 0.0000000001%
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 11 by OGreene: 1:53pm On Feb 04, 2017
Sure, some top schools waive TOEFL, bear in mind that TOEFL and GRE serve diff purposes. Some schools would request for both. So check the school's requirements well. If its not clear on their website, mail them and ask.


Awesu122:
Another help coming from another person I don't know thanks so so much once again, you just conquered my fear I would check for samples and see how it goes , moreover does some top schools give TOEFL waver in lieu of GRE ? That another question very important to me , please I await honest response
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 11 by OGreene: 11:38am On Feb 04, 2017
Cleveland State Uni
Lincoln State Uni
Does anyone in the house know anything about these schools?

Awesu122, so you dont want to apply to other top schools because of essays and resume. But most of us provided these na. Thats a normal thing for grad school application. You conquered the GRE, the essay shouldn't a problem Just ask for samples to get a hint of how to write yours. Please do a search on the net, you will gain alot and even jam other student fora. Remember that the essay must match your profile, the course and the school you are applying to. Don't just dub ooo.
Check essayforum.com and thegradcafe.com

Awesu122:
Thanks so much for your suggestion bro and God bless you, looking to put in for fall admission in Cleveland state university OHIO or Lincon state university Oakland CA , all other top schools needs , things like me providing my CV, writing essay, Resume , and maybe interview as well, all these ain't problem for me if I see someone that would put me through on how to go about it, example OHIO state university neeeds all these have listed before admission could be considered

Well, he said they have been giving visas for CC as long as the person is smart and answers questions correctly.

In my mind, i feel say they have been reading on NL that we are running from Community colleges, he now tried to address the matter grin

Cc LagosNIV, please what's your take on this?

LagosismyHome:
Nice ....but what is the percentage of people the VOs issues visa to based on community college...abeg.if you see who attending the next orientation , the person should help us ask
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 11 by OGreene: 9:25pm On Feb 03, 2017
Awesu122.

April 2017 is late. Few schools have Feb - April deadline which is for Fall 2017. Am not sure you will be considered for funding.

I read your posts, eagerly looking for where you said you searched for schools and came up with this, this and that school. Choosing a school is not a days job, you need to check the websites, note down stuffs, mail or call the dept, deadline, curriculum, tuition, location, requirement, funding etc...get to know every every. It was fun for me.

People can suggest schools for you, but you MUST DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. If someone told me to apply to School A and B, i will still go on the internet to see what other schools are like and make comparison.

If i had your GRE score, i will apply to top schools as well as safe schools. So do you have the schools now? You can list them here so people can tell you what they think. At the end, it still depends on you because its your career, your money and your moniker grin . But pay attention to their opinion about schools, i believe many people here have schooled or live in the US
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 11 by OGreene: 8:59pm On Feb 03, 2017
I was at US Embassy for EducationUSA orientation last month, the VO spoke with us. He said there is nothing wrong in applying to attend a community college. He said people should not be scared to do that if thats what they want.

Na wetin im talk oooo.

kenmenia19:
What do you guys think about community college a friend of mine in the us , gave me the name of the same community college he attended he asked me to apply for it, but I want to know if , I will be granted visa with a community college admission

Don't the schools accept unofficial copy? If you have a copy, just upload on the application portal.


bbidakin:
Please assist with the material for GRE.Also, if l plan to send transcript to more than one schools ,how do l address the transcript from school..l understand that it must be address to the school. Also what do you mean by 50%

Woah!!! This is deep. Noted!

OluDare01:
Folks, if you have multiple admissions with funding,please try and differ your other admission.
Something happened here at tech,the school lost 70% of her funding and it's been a hard time for grad students here. In situations like this, some folks have left for other schools ,some dropped out of school while others are still struggling to get funding.Funding is contingent upon availability.
So please, don't throw away all your eggs.
Things like this don't happen often but we never can tell what would happen.
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 11 by OGreene: 9:23am On Jan 28, 2017
True that! We can state our opinion, agree or disagree without LABELLING the poster.

God bless you ma'am for your benevolence (that guy's GRE).

LagosismyHome:
I think not in all cases should everyone be painted with the same brush...in this case a lazy brush

Some people are good in research and pulling information and some arent and need a little guidance or for someone to point them in the right direction....its also possible that they know the right direction but just need more info based on others personal experience or recommendation.....

[/b]Labelling people puts people off from asking questions[b] and ideally this is a learning environment for some and a new experience. I agree that the same questions are asked all the time when it can easily be found using the search button but then again some people really dont know there is a search button either.....

It depends on how rich your department is and the strength or number of competitors in the pool.
TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 11 by OGreene:
Hello. First of all, applying to one school is too risky oooo. Why put your eggs in one basket? shocked Please you must choose more than 1 school.

Have you taken GRE and TOEFL? What session are you looking at?

People will suggest some schools for you. But you must also google that, so you can see all the other schools that offer the program. Try msinus.com, usnews.com, gradschools.com, thegradcafe.com etc.

Write down the schools, go to their website and read the requirements, curriculum, tuition, funding opportunity, deadline etc. Does it match what you want? Then you can mention the schools here so people can give you their opinion about some schools.

By the time you are done, you will have like 4 schools on your list. Then you can decide whether to pick 2, 3 or more

@ Oludare. Please your advise is urgently needed.Please l need information around skools with funding in the US.

Are your last 2 years better? The CGPA. Try calculate for year 3 and 4. If much better, please state that in your application, the optional statement, even if they didnt ask you.

I did that in all my applications because my last 2 years result was really good.


Aig84:
Thank you, just calculated and it's a 2.91/4 scale
EducationRe: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by OGreene: 10:33pm On Jan 25, 2017
Any of them is fine.

BY MAFIT is cheaper. I registered with them. No issues
For ETS site, make sure your card can allow the $205 limit.

Please all,which is better for me to write this exam,through ets or b.y mafit?i want to take the exam next month so i can get ready for spring2018.

Awesome!!! Cecemat can you add what you think helped you get funding. Did you speak to the Profs or it was just your application?

justwise:
You should be better than this, you got full funding plus stipends? Great! but using it to start war of words is just immature.

Focus on your project like somebody said to you already.
EducationRe: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by OGreene: 8:22pm On Jan 22, 2017
Will your card allow for $205 payment?

The third parties are cheaper. Esp BY MAFIT

[color=#990000][/color]Pls can I pay directly on the ETS website with my debit card? I don't want to go through all these third parties.
