Lets give thanks to God, in walspring voice

OGreene:
Alright. Thanks much.
By safe i think dt shud mean lower ranking school

You and low ranked schools. There are ivy leagues and there are others. Choose from the others sir. Preferably between 30th to 80th according to US News ranking

SilentPistol:
Hi guys, hope you all are doing great? I am.

Please guys, how can one gain free access to journals? I've tried a few alternatives, but all efforts have proven futile.

Are you in the USA? If yes, go to your school library and search for those journals from their computers...voolaa!!

MECHANICALENG:
Good morning gurus in the house, please I need your help with reviewing my mock transcript be welcome to state faults as I am ready to take note and make corrections..thanks in anticipation


Me: Good morning sir/ mar!!

VO: can I have your documents? What are your study plans?

Me: Pursue my bacheclor's degree in Mechanical engineering technology at Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology and then return to Nigeria to set up an Auto servicing firm/plant.

VO: which school are you going to? And how many did you applied to?

Me: I am going to Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology and I applied into four schools; Benjamin Franklin, Troy university and California institute of technology, (add another school) .

VO: why did you choose BFIT of all school you applied to?

Me: I am a hands on guy and Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology offers a more practical approach especially in the areas of automotive and manufacturing. This will prepare me to become a more competent technician and I'll also benefit from more exposure and field experience from it's affiliates such procter and gamble (P&G); One of the best engineering firms in the US. It's also quite affordable. So it was a no brainer picking them.

VO: How do you come about the school?

Me: I catalogued a couple of schools based on my interest and preferred teaching approach using google.com, Engineeringschool.com and USnews.com. BFIT stood out because of it's affordability.

..

Tailor your story around your strengths. Look at the above, that's what I could do for now cos I am quite busy.

VO: which school are you going to? And how many did you applied to?

Me: I am going to Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology and I applied into three schools namely; Benjamin Franklin, Troy university and California institute of technology.

VO: why did you choose BFIT of all school you applied to?

Me: Despite the fact that it is affordable, has a small classes with faculty ratio of 11:1, Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology is affiliated to engineering firms such as procter and gamble (P&G), that has its head quarters located at Boston to prepare student to become more competent technicians and benefits from more exposure and field experience from the industry which will in other words make me fits for my profession adequately.

VO: How do you come about the school?

VO: What is this course going to do for you?

Me: This course is going equipt me such that I will be technically fit and competent due to the relative exposure and experience it offers, and hence would give me upper hand when I finally come back to Nigeria to improve and establish myself for economy improvements.

VO: Why this course ?

Me:Firstly right from my childhood I've always wanted to become a Mechanical engineer due to the love and passion I have for process behind machine and engineen creation, in the same vein Mechanical engineering being a very versatile course plays a major role in technological advancements in the 21st century with manufacturing process, job creation and transportation easeness.

VO: when did you finished your high school and what have you been doing since then?

ME: I finished high school in the year 2009, After high school, I decided to empower myself by joining steve Automobile Tech Industry, where I was trained in auto-mechanic repair for 36 months, after my training, I decided to add some more educational skills to what I've learned by enrolling for my National Diploma which I concluded in 2015 afterwhich I got a compulsory internship placement at Toyota company where I worked as auto repair .....

VO: did you right any test?

Me: yes I did and here is the score

VO: how long is the program?

ME: period of 48 months sir

VO: who is paying for your study and what does he do?

Me: My Eldest brother, he is a Mechanical engineer whom work at Obat oil and gas petroleum company and as an assistant Manager.

VO: why is he gonna pay for you and how much does he earn monthly?

Me: He is gonna pay for me because he has always been the one paying for my school bills from my secondary school till date since we lost our dad and also he presently got no other responsibility as he is currently single. I honestly don't know how much he earns as we hardly talk to that area but I can say he earns closely 2 million a monthly coupled with my late dads auto workshops he manages.

VO: here is your I-20 you gonna be needing it at the P.O.E...

Some good points here and there but this is too long and they can detect that you crammed it. You might open yourself up for more questioning.

Omogirl2016:
OK tanks
Dats y i asked d house wat I shd write as my intended length of stay

I think you know the answer to that now. GoodSpeed!!

Omogirl2016:
Ballstate. Though the school did not indicate part tym on d form.d sec only said some students will want to study for part time which is 24months or more

You can't do part time as an international student from what I know.

People
Pls any body in U of Texas Houston,Arlington,Dallas, Texas Tech etc
i am thinking of adding a Texas school to my list. Assuming i raise first semester fees,
i was wondering if getting GA after first semester is possible.
Texas seems to be friendly with instate tuition.
Please i need any information would help out.

For Mechanical Engineering at UTA, No GA/TA position was given to masters students this Fall semester. PHD guys had everything.

cseejhay:
Hello house, if your school requires you to take a post bachelors credits before starting your Masters program, do you think they will issue you a bachelors certificate on completion of the bachelors credits? thanks.

Nope. Those are prerequisites for your masters program. They want you better prepared for graduate classes. You just need to pass them. It wont count towards your GPA nor will they issue you a certificate for it.

LagosismyHome:
The above is not in all cases oo. A friend was on visa which had a requirement to go back to Naija for at least 2 years .... Despite she got married to citizen she had to hire an immigration lawyer to prove that her departure from the U.S. would cause her husband exceptional hardship, that was d only way the 2 years was waived

CC Mustghan as for your sister i cannot really comment. She has to check with an immigration expert

Mustghan:
Pls house, m having a challenge concerning my sis. She went to d state on d fullbrigjt exchange program in Yale university. She came back after a yr and re applied for her MSC in TESOL. I recommended dis thread for her before she went for her interview. Straight away, she got her visa and had completed d course. Infact, I helped my mum fill in her visa application in March to visit her and coached her for the interview. All d knowledge I got on this thread, (Thanks to God and big gbosa for dis thread).
Now, my sista wanna stay back in d state, well that's no bad idea. She applied for OPT and got a job as an adjunct officer in a community college in Houston. She had married a naija guy who is a resident in d registry in Houston BT she said she is afraid to file it cos the might come up with her exchange agreement which is for her to go back to naija after the program.
She is kinda troubled, how will she go abt it to change her visa . she doesn't want to come to naija now until she gets her residents visa.[/quote]My opinion is based on what he said. The case of your friend is different and not applicable here from my understanding. I really don't see an issue if she went back to Nigeria and Re-applied using the F1 route except she is still on the Exchange program.

MrRoYCe:
Bro, I just transferred to UT Arlington this Fall and I go like discuss some things with you

PM baba

edogasz:
thank you Osahon. How can I talk privately with you via email or any means okay with you pls

Is the 9ja man a citizen?
If yes, MARRIAGE Overrides all previous agreement. she should file asap.
If No, She can file but it might take up 10 years for them to hear her case. This means she has to go through the OPT-H1B route.

OGreene:
Good day guys, una welldone ooo.

Please how do you do this cgpa calculation for US scale.

For 3.72 on 5.0 NIG system, what will that be in 4.0 scale US

Your CGPA is good bro. Focus on Doing well in your GRE and English proficiency Test, then write a compelling SOP. You will receive alot of offers.

edogasz:

What's your problem? R u okay? Have u seen schools that accept 2.5,2.6 with a good GRE? Should I mention such schools for you? Its like ur new here and don't know your left from right. I only adviced him to evaluate his transcript which he could be lucky to have his GPA increase to about 2.5 or 2.6/4 and den possibly do very well in GRE. Abeg if your new here u simply pype low and not show urself. I have seen a GPA of 1.6 being evaluated and it came out 2.56. #newbies everywhere#

Hercules on Nairaland Pype low and get your UK Visa first before yarning dust!!

HAHAHAHAHA. Enjoy GURU.

fizzile:
. There will be need for you to evaluate it and then do well in standardized tests

why are you sugarcoating a serious issue? 2.0 for masters?

Dominicumoh:
University of Bridgeport, Connecticut
M.Sc in Electrical/Electronics Engineering..

Why Bridgeport? This is a low ranked school with little or no effort to get in. They even tempt you by saying they will give you half tuition. I used to live in New Haven, Connecticut. There are far better and cheaper schools than a low ranked university in Connecticut and the USA at Large.

Shout Out to all Y'all keeping this thread going. For those coming to America, IT is your best bet right now.

Ye2ndearisto:
Hello ddbluv I am interested in the off Campus job you talked about . Please can you inbox me your number . Am in Houston studying. Would have sent you an email but I really don't know how to it on Nairaland

How can you be in Houston and you are looking for under G? Go to Sam Houston, You will meet alot of nigerians there. Inshort Sam Houston is just Ikeja with make-up.

biikeys:
Well, on-campus jobs are also hard to get at UTA. Transportation to school will be a challenge if you can't get an on-campus apartment (no public transportation), but those are typically not difficult to get.
Not trying to discourage you, but you might face the same funding issues there too. Just make sure to secure funding before accepting their offer. Once you get in, it more or less becomes same struggle
They have a good Mech program though.

Thanks for the info. I just found out that you have to pay $15k a year irrespective of how many classes you take. Then school accommodation is about 3 to 7k for the regular semesters and additional 700 to 1800$ for summer. they use a 4-1-4-1 system which means 3 classes in 4 months with no job too. This one hard oh.

slimmy05:
alright. I think you might have a better chance with UTA

Alright bruv.

slimmy05:
did you get assistantship with UTA?

I did apply and did speak with profs. They are playing the silent game on me. "You see that when you get your admission package".

@biikeys

Hi,

I was offered admission to UTA and I have no clue what to expect. I'm currently studying at University of New Haven. CT. I want to transfer to UTA but I need to know how things work over there because here just seem to be an Indian or Arab school with few other races. There are little or No assistantships for internationals so it's really difficult here. I feel if the school doesn't want to offer assistantships, then value for money becomes important. So let me know what UTA looks like, transportation to school (I no get car) and jobs too. By the way I'm studying Ms Mechanical Engineering.

@zeezahbee you didn't reply my mail ma.

godG:
Yes na. I have got some wonderful Edo guys as friends.

Correct man. nor let dem spoil you with our language

lets face it, so someone called him a gorilla and he went after her. Have you seen insults on real celebrity's instagram and Twitter pages? He took it overboard.

aadeyi:
@zeezahbee abeg help me tell him how the snow plenty reach for here....lol

See this guy. We dey chill For snow like normal level here. How school?
