Pasblack:
A journey I was forced to take..... about 3yrs ago, my who was so keen about me coming over to the usa forced to apply to the same school who got admitted to and I obliged. Since it was not my own plan, I paid application fee and did not send my transcript till a year later after which I wrote the school to waive TOEFL for me because in addition to my first decree, I have obtained a professional diploma but the school rejected by saying I had finished the program over 2years and as such my proficiency in English needs to be proved (as if I don forget how to speak the language over time).
I enrolled for TOEFL then on the day of the exams, I was not allowed to write the exams because I had an expired International passport. I was so pained and frustrated (at this time, I already developed interest in schooling abroad). I decided I was going to renew my passport then re-enrolled. I however wrote the school requesting them to tick transcript as received on my account checklist on their site. that was wen another person responded to my mail and told me he has received the transcript and having gone through it he has decided to push for TOEFL waiver for me....which he did (first miracle).
I was admitted by the school and I booked appointment at the embassy (21/7/2017). I discovered after booking that my current place of work(as filled in DS-160 does not really relate to the program I'm going for and that gave me a lot of fear. So I started praying about it.
prepared the best I can then I went for the interview yesterday at 6:30

Went through all the checks but I think there was an issue with my ds-160 because after the biometrics, others were told to keep all other docs expect their passport and I-20 but in my case I was told to hold on to it as other checks I have passed thru have been looking at the same form for too long than necessary. Eventually assigned to window 2, 'a black american'. She approved only one person before me (trust me, over 12 people were ahead of me) I was so nervous and scared........

VO: good morning
me: good morning ma, (passing her my passport and form I-20 before she asked)
VO: after scanning my passport, please pass me your ds 160
Me: gave it to her (and she scanned too)
VO: I see you are going for ur masters in Geographic information science and cartography at Eastern Illinois University
Me: yes ma
VO: tell me the process of application
Me: I saw the programme I was interested in, Paid application fee, sent in my official transcript and then wrote my statement of purpose(trust me I was not that eloquent because of fear)
VO: how many exams did you write?
Me: None, they were all waived for me
VO: you mean you didnt write either GRE or TOEFL?
Me: waived
VO: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: just one, though I considered University of Maryland, Baltimore but I eventually applied to just EIU.
VO: how many unit course is required for your graduation
Me: 32
VO: can u mention some of the core courses?
Me: remote sensing, introduction to GIS, landscape ecology, accounting (den I wen blank) so I said and some other courses I cant remember right now
VO: how does your current work relate to your study and how will it help you
Me: (knowing so well that they do not relate at all, I had to cook something up) I was employed for a project in this company. we were to develop a map showing all telecomms mast managed by my company in the country, noting their distances to each other, the peculiarity of each of the sites etc. then after the project, I was en grafted into the system as 'diesel logistics' (which by the way is exactly what I do)
VO: what do you intend doing after this programme?
Me: I intend setting up a consultancy firm....because where I worked before, we contract some jobs because we couldnt handle them but with my first decree background in urban and regional planning and a professional science masters in GIS, I will be well grounded in getting required data analysed then used for planning purpose
VO: who is your sponsor
Me: my cousin and my sister (was expecting her to say where does she work but she didnt ask)
VO: hands over my form I-20....keep this very well as you will be needing it at POE then asked, u want to pick your passport up at ISOLO
Me; yes....thanks



no document was checked.....I see the hand of God in this......wishing others best of grace.

Congrats Boss !!

GIS Fellow... Sent you a pm

towbaynah:
Not very reliable, to be honest. I had to keep calling them again and again to remind them to check on the transcript office at my alma mater. It took about a month before my transcript got to its final destination.

Okay. Thanks

towbaynah:
I used ETX dot ng. Cost me 20k.

Good day bro

My team cant proceed from this division. Its really frustrating. They play like morons. A 7 star player plays like a 3 star and my attackers hits a very weak shot compared to my opponents. Feel like I should uninstall it but I wanna get to the last division.

fredoricko:
Congratulations iekene.
The magoosh premium account you gave us access to was instrumental to my success. Thanks once again and enjoy your studies.

Hey bro !!

Hi everyone, the gurus in d house and all current graduate students abroad.
U guys are doing a great job. Please I need your candid advice.

Pls help your boy. I have a dynamic issue:

I intend to make a career transition into IT. I have an undergraduate degree in geography. (3.29/4 GPA) taking GRE in November.
I want to start an application for fall '18 I have been able to draw a list of 7 schools that I can get admitted into with my undergraduate degree. As I will have to take some prerequisite courses alongside my graduate coursework.

My question is can I get graduate assistantships (TA/RA)  considering my undergraduate background if I get admitted? Cos sincerely I cant foot all my bills if I will be sincere with myself. Or I should jejely do MS Geography or other related courses if its gonna be a mission impossible or almost impossible.

Thanks in anticipation bosses. !!!

About TOEFL


I will encourage every applicant to write toefl because most schools use it as a basis for awarding teaching assistantship. In my own case, I didn't write Toefl because I turned in my applications late and money factor too. Things didn't pan out the way I wanted. I got admitted and though the grad school waived toefl for me, my department said I was not proficient. I got half TA and I had to pay the balance of my tuition. I would have saved myself the stress of paying if I had written toefl.
When you come here, you will see that you speak better English than other non-native English speakers that Oyinbos would ask you 'do you speak English in Nigeria?'.

How about IELTS? Isnt it acceptable in place of TOEFL?

Hmmm

How about the love of her father more than her supposedly spouse? ... in the bible it was there that a woman rib was made out of one man's rib. Our parents are just vessels that brought us to this world. #MyOpinion

Ramanto:
so sorry about the whole thing. It's obvious her heart is somewhere else. just forget about her and move on. Though you may not find it easy, it's the right step to take for now.

but wait o... who is she supposed to like more between you and her dad? i'm confused here.

Hmmm.. really complicated

Cute lexus

Mark Zuckerberg was in his usual simple dress style. No wrist watch, necklace, or an expensive Italian shoe and he was spotted in Yaba, 3rd mainland bridge and Ikoyi link bridge with no single security escort, I am sure some people might have seen him and walk pass him like a regular oyinbo contractor not knowing he's the 7th richest man in the world worth $58 billion.

Now for the ladies looking for some guy that's full of swags, happy looking oh !!!

And I pray our leaders will learn from this and start receiving brain.

Moral lesson: If you're still out there underrating me cos I wear jean and Polo with my legedese Benz, I'm seriously shaking my head for you.
