Respect all,
i registered for GRE at BY Mafit Educational Centre at ikeja for a date in december,and they went to book me 6 days after the day i filled in wthout my consent!and the present date will be too late for my purpose,presently iam furious and i have called them and they told me the date i chose which is dec 30 is filled having registered with BY mafit for close to 2 weeks now!,that they have to reschedule me for the next date WITHOUT MY CONSENT untill i seee the registration e mail from ETS.

Im so bitter about this and my experience with their staff has been unprofessional, and i use this opportunity to tell the general public to beware of this agency!
House please kindly advice me on what to do !!!!

It should get to the school before 10th.

I mean one week to prepare for GRE
ABEG PLS advice. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME!
[qquote author=ponpon post=62774023] wait, wait. One week to prepare for the GRE or for the main exam ( you just want to brush up your long prep) . [/quote]

Respect house,
I'm in dilemma
Should i write Dec 4 GRE or Dec 30th.
The closing date for submission of supporting documents in the school I applied to is Jan 10.

If I write DEC 4 that means I have one week to prepare

If I write DEC 30th wouldn't it be too late cos closing date is Jan 10th

Big congrats,in few months i shall also share mine!

Thank you ma.
Most appreciated.

LagosismyHome:


I prefer F1 because with F1 there no requirement to leave the country after the program if you want to later switch to h1b or aos

But j1 you have to give back to your home country or outside the US. So it usually come with a requirement of 2 years home country post graduation . Also there is a 12 Month Bar After Previous J-1 Participation .. That too I don't like that limitations

I am not saying which is better but what i prefer

RESPECT ALL,
BETWEEN F1 OR J1 VISA,which should i choose for a fully funded phd programme
kindly assist.
which is better?
thanks.

Respect Ma.
Kindly suggest to me any of those cheapest schools.
I will be glad to apply.
Thanks

LagosismyHome:


Depending on your plans.....if you need the masters or phd just as a stepping stone to later move on to residency for me ooo.... there no need paying that money for ivy league . I go to the cheapest school as most people i have seen with that plan never end up using the degree

Respect Sir,
Baba i beg kindly recommend some of these schools that have these features to me.as in im also a doc looking out for such.

Your Supremacy Sir!!

TWoods:


I beg to differ. As a doc, he has plenty of opportunities. He can get into molecular biology, translational medicine, pathology, pharmacology, epidemiology and public health... phd programs in top tier schools here. He is almost guaranteed to get 100% fellowships (once accepted, you get a free ride to school and get paid at least $28,000 per year in stipends)... he can do this for 2 years, and get a masters - while sitting for his residency exams. He can then cross over to a residency program. Why waste your time with a cheap degree when you can get a solid degree in an ivy league that will make your residency resume even more attractive? A lot of US medical students take time off to obtain masters/phd programs in research that really boost their resumes. That's why you find a lot of MD/Phd dual degree holders in big league university hospitals - they are doctors that are also heavily involved in research. My own brother did this before starting his residency and it was of tremendous benefit to him. I am very reticent to this mentality of just looking for the cheapest path of least resistance to everything when you can certainly strive for excellence.

I would argue that bro should think about what specific area he wants to specialize in for his residency, then seek out researchers working in that area, contact them directly with his plans.

I HAVE REGISTERED FOR IELTS UKVI IN PURSUIT OF PLAB
WILL YOU ADVICE ME TO GO BACK AND CHANGE THE UKVI TO GENERAL TRAINING ?
I APPRECIATE YOU.
HOUSE KINDLY ADVICE AS AM LEFT TO CHOOSE BETWEEN UK PLAB AND CANADA PPR!

Hephgirl:

1. Plab for UK (ur status in d UK isn't a sure one... Their immigration isn't friendly per say) but u can do plab for uk work and den it's easier for u to start residency in Canada
2. Canadian PR ( at least u will leave d country, write ur exams) build ur self while u "wait" to start residency
3 . master in Canada goes with number 2.
But as PR u can get "grants" to do ur masters. Get a job as a public health worker ( assuming u r going through d public health route) while u pursue residency. And u can actually write ur mccee exams and do masters at d same time.

Summary u need ur PR

hello house
pls i am in dilemma,as a medical doctor pls which route is the best

1)PLAB FOR UK
2)CANADIAN PR
3)MASTERS IN CANADA

PLEASE ADVISE ,WHICH ONE IS THE SUREST?

They didn't accepted statement of result.
They are hell bent on certificate

I studied medicine.
Work experience 2 years
Age 33 single

Pls advise further

Feygbe:


1. You can use your statement of Result.

2. Try to redo the IELTS exam and aim for min LWSR 8777. How many years of work experience do you have? What is your highest educational qualification and your age? All these together determine how high your CRS points will be.

3. Not sure I understand you clearly here, but most people here are doing it themselves. Some have been burned by agents, a few might have been successful. Best advice, do it yourself.

Congratulations
Did you do it yourself or used an agency?

AlexanderGreat:
