Yvete: Reck-less is lying. That's why he didn't make any clarification.

How do you go for an an MSN without RN or BSN? With a bachelors degree, there's the ABSN and Second-degree option, but not straight on MSN. There's nothing like MBA in Nursing. It makes more sense to say MBA/MSN. ....emmmm.. but which Nursing license did he use to apply for an advanced degree? *Rhetorical question, obviously*
Maybe he thinks we be **mumu**.... grin grin grin grin You said it all.

TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by OjaP:
GboyegaD: Must you curse and who told you there is no such thing as an MBA in nursing? Like the guy said, it is a program offered as MBA/MSN in nursing at UCLA however, I agree he was reckless because of what he said to Kpolli concerning his asking him to swear over what is none of his business. Enough said, bootlicking isn't a good thing to engage in.
That guy doesn't know what he is saying. There is a clear difference between a dual degree and MS/MA/MBA/PhD in whatever. How will an educated man who claimed to get "admits" in three of the top schools in the US be ignorant of that?

I hold a MS in Geology is different from I hold a dual masters degree in Geology and Business Admin - MS Geology/MBA. And how would a man who claimed to be trained in the USA not know how to choose his words? It's like me saying I have a MBA in Geology when in the real sense I have a dual masters degree in Geology and Bus. Admin (MS/MBA). I would be so stupid to say that and don't even think my stupidity or foolishness should be pardoned.

YES,there is MBA/MS in Nursing but nothing like MBA in Nursing. Several schools have that option and not only UCLA.

Reckless: Is that clear enough??

webstradamus: You gat jokes bro ... grin

But seriously have you tried ITS, Academic Computing Center or Library? They're usually the highest employers of CS/IT majors. Might be very competitive but grad students (with prior work experience) usually have an edge. And how about summer internship? Hope you've secured one or are at least close to securing one. You'd be amazed at the ginormous opportunities out there on Dice/Indeed/SimplyHired (hope am not be preaching to the choir here wink).
You said it all.

And if Kpolli is in California, I would advise him to apply to Aera Energy based in Bakersfield, California. They are looking for summer Interns in their IT department.

Mamacita007: Spring semester starts from January till May. How come they issued your sister her i-20 yesterday and the school resumes april? i just pray that its a good school so that nobody will be disappointed again. Wishing her all the best.

walexy: Hi good people,

My sister is currently being faced with an ambiguous situation and i need you guyz to help. She got admitted this week for a master's programme in Public Administration (MPA)and the I-20 was issued yesterday as well. The utmost challenge is the fact that the school resumption date is 8th April (Spring)and we are seriously doubting if she could meet up in view of the time required to make that happen. My few are questions are;

1. Is it true that an admission can't be deffered and a new paperwork has to be done to get a new admission letter and I-20 issued for a summer entry? I am really confused as that was the fall out of the discussion i had with the lady in charge of her admission on phone yesterday.

2. Can she still meet up with securing an appointment and going for interview at the embassy within this short period? I learnt prospective students are advised and expected to apply in good time so they can be in the US 30 days before resumption. Please advise on whether to progress for spring entry or work on summer entry.

3. Lastly, I need you to help provide a list of documents (checklist) needed at this point or things we need to urgently put in place.

Counting on your expertise and looking forward to your responses.
It is do-able

- Yes, the admission officer was right. Your sister can defer her admission.

- Yes, she can still meet up if she is lucky. Let her go pay the visa fee at GTB, check and see if there are available dates for student visa applicants. If that won't work, send an email requesting an emergency interview. If she is lucky, they can reply her on time. Tell her to pray.

- No, you don't have to resume 30days before resumption. You can resume whenever you get your visa even a day before school resumes. Many folks here still resume like a week after resumption, if this will be the case for your sister - maybe she couldn't get the Visa on time before her school resumes, then she can get a letter from her Int'l student adviser extending her resumption date, she will need to show this at the POE in case they ask.

- Some of the documents your sister will need include but not limited to admission letter, form I-20, transcripts, NYSC certificate, letter from her sponsor, statement of accounts etc.

- Overall, advise your sister to fill her form DS-160 as detailed as possible (even in areas where they tell you they need short answers especially job history and roles). The weight of the information in your DS-160 form partly determine the issuance of visas. And of course, GOD is the ultimate....tell her to prepare well and pray.

The ball is in her court. I wish your sister the best of luck in her visa processing and application.

TravelRe: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by OjaP: 9:30pm On Mar 21, 2013
@ Yvete:

I agree with you on that. Best thing is for applicants to drop the name of their schools here so we can all help look into them.

Our friends in the Canada Visa section do that alot. Most of them even go as far as pasting word-for-word the email they received from the schools and Professors. It is only on USA visa thread that I see people hiding the names of their schools.

@ FBI

I am glad you are around......I will advise you search through page 1 and 2 and look for members who got their Visas with a MBA. You can just say exactly what they said...Mind you, none of them said they will be coming back to work for their parents. The V.O don't fall for that....most of them came up with stories about working for multinationals, CBN and the rest...I remember one said he wants to work in the ministry of Finance as an Economic adviser...just search well. I wish you the best of luck dude.

Olatomide: [color=#000099][/color] Hello all, am new on this thread. I finished with a second class upper in Physics from FUTA, had 309 in my GRE and 106 in TOEFL. I actually applied to the geology graduate program at TAMU but am also looking for a safe school with a good geology graduate program to apply to this fall, Would appreciate suggestions. And you guys are doing a great job.
Congrats on your GRE and TOEFL...I had a brief stint at FUTA too in the Applied Geology department working on my Masters before I changed my mind.


You chose the right school, Texas A&M College Station has a very good Geology program. As a matter of fact, all Geology schools in TEXAS are very good. Below are few of them in no particular order,

- University of Texas, Austin
- Rice University
- University of Texas, Houston
- Texas Tech, Lubbock
- TAMU College station. etc

Outside of Texas, you may want to consider Colorado school of mines, UC Davies, UC Berkely, UCLA, Stanford, Caltech, USC, University of South Carolina, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, University of Arkansas etc. Most Geology schools in America are very good.

Good you are making a very good decision in switching to Geology, I am confident you won't regret it.

I wish you goodluck in the admission process, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need anything under my purview. I won't hesitate to help. I am happy we are having more Geologists/Geophysicists in the house.

Have you considered Geophysics? They are in high demand in most oil companies....they need them for seismic interpretation and the rest.

eduson002: Gudday people.Quite a while I posted here.The thread is indeed moving on and great things are happening.Bigfrancis and other fall 2013 hopefuls,whatz the update as per admission?.
For me,my choice school offered me a conditional admission for M.sc and am not too happy about it.Reason? They said my GRE score not high enough.
I need the advices of senior members of this thread;imperioux,yvete,ojaP,GboyegaD your advices will shape my decision to accept this offer.What do you guys advice as regard taking a conditional admission to US embassy? Thank all....
You are fine. The embassy does not even know if you have a conditional admission or not, most people I know with a low GRE or lower GPA less than 3.0 get that...not a biggie at all. You will only need to maintain a good GPA in the first two quarters or semesters(as the case may be) after which the condition on your admission would be removed.

And may I even ask why you are not happy about it? You better accept the offer sharp sharp before my oga at the top say they won't give you admission again.

Kpolli: Happy belated birthday - sorry this came late...the same oga at the top kept me busy away from Nairaland.
