Hi guys, this is to prospective GRE/TOEFL registrants pls stay away from B.Y Mafit for now. I registered with this certain coy on the Feb 13 and I’m yet to get the payment confirmation order on my account.

I explained to them why they needed to register me ASAP to get March 3 exam date for the Lagos centers, simply cos the deadline for application to the school I’m applying is March 15.

I told them I need a refund to find another means, cos the Abuja center is still open for March 3 and 10, they keep telling me to be patient and lose out on ur Abuja centers too?


P:S This is not a campaign of calumny, it’s based on my unpleasant experience with them. I’ve heard good things about them, but they are messed up at the moment.

In case you want to re-register I'll register you for 45k

University of Florida is a big one sir, congratulations!!!!! What's your profile?

briliantsak:
I got into University of Florida (direct PhD) few days ago, still awaiting fellowship result in couple of weeks. I discussed with a supervisor before applying for admission, she asked me to select her as my advisor... which I actually did during application. Buh when I got the admission letter, they've changed my advisor to another person...who happens to be a senior colleague to the former advisor and he's even the PhD program coordinator for the program. I contacted him and we discuss about funding... he asked me to get back to him in couple of weeks for the fellowship result.

Hoping and praying sha...
Thanks Scholastica16, Ponpon, annexplus, and others

Good day all. Please I got this email from a prof. I applied to the school but I didnt mention him in my SOP and I have never emailed him before. Please what should be the best way to reply him.


Hello,

I am Prof. XXXX, faculty at the school of ECE at XXa Tech. My lab OLIVES work at the intersection of image/video processing and machine learning with applications in a number of fields including AVs, subsurface imaging, and microscopic imaging. We are anticipating to have couple of positions for PhD thesis topics and GRA under the area of image/video processing and machine learning for seismic applications, primarily seismic interpretation. If you are interested in such topic, please visit this page. Although a background in geophysics is not required, it is a plus. For questions, please contact me Bleep and Dr. XX. You can check our papers, current team, and other materials at Bleep

best regards,

See you, see funding.... Are you interested in the position? Are you interested in the research? Do you have a research interest already? Has any other prof contacted you from the school?..... I'll say hug it, unless it's something you are not interested in.

First visit the page, read the papers and get in touch.

I can register you for 45k

Big is the way to go!

learner007:
I no stop your advert o bro, na wetin me I really benefit from I share with others sir...no fight at all. May be you should just try and include free lectures that exactly simulate exam situations like BY MAFIT does, then your own testimonials go start to flow in. Doh!

Another one! Who free lectures help for GRE, 1 out of every 100000000000000000000000000000000, Y'all keep the request coming jare GRE 45K TOEFL 40K Free magoosh and other A+ materials, and some from my personal archive

learner007:
So Na only B.Y. MAFIT you see inside this long story Your matter long well well. The truth is that you need to see what goes on there, only you will understand how on point BY MAFIT is when it comes to GRE, GMAT and TOEFL exams. Countless testimonies on this platform here also lend credence to this singular claim. As far as I'm concerned, B.Y MAFIT is still the best so far...affordable, free materials and FREE LECTURES . Haba, stop this beef...it doesn't boost your start up in anyway. My 2 cent

Yeye dey smell, sir Mafit

frostsc:
I would have replied but Ive been quite busy with preparations and all. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet up with this entry as many things hindered my preparation. I had to opt to differ the admission but I've been working assiduously to ensure I do not miss out on the wonderful package I got.

Mine is a story of God's grace and in as much as one would not want to bring spirituality into the whole thing; as there are people who prayed and fasted and still didn't achieve their aim, it is quite imperative to note that prayers, accompanied by purpose and guided by the right information are the ingredients for success.

Seriously, this whole thing started as a joke for me. I didn't preempt or really pre-plan it. It was just a joke. Until I got my visa, it wasn't looking real at all. Perhaps that was why I didn't make adequate preparations to travel immediately. It was only my brother that knew about it. I didn't tell my parents until after my scores were out and the whole admission was finalized. My dad just gave me all the pep talk and started the whole "Remember the son of whom you are talk"... I was like Dad, I never collect visa left to talk of travel na. . But I know he marvelled at the fact that I hid such a thing from him.

After much ado, filling the DS 160 and preparing my mind for the task ahead, I left mainland the day before my interview to stay with a friend on the Island. I didn't want stories that touch the heart that maybe one tyre punctured on the road or one fuel finished in one car or it is the day of my visa interview that Oro decided to come out in Lagos. Even if Oro came out, omo na to treck go embassy.

So, I got there quite early and I was virtually sweating. Honestly, I don't know if it's just me but I hardly slept the previous night. Reality just began to dawn on me. In my mind, I was like... This is it! But I remembered the short discuss I had with friends I made at B.Y Mafit and some of our by the side discussions on visa and stuff. So, I put all that into action. Got control of my emotions, focused on my answers, and worked on my psychology. The mindset was "It's not the end of the world if I am not given". One thing I learned at Mafit was that many people go to the interview as if their life's depends on it. This leads to unnecessary tension and an influx of adrenaline in the system. This has ripple effect on your performance and coordination and the way you respond. Also, your choice of reply matters.

So, I joined the queue and some guys at the top end of the queue (Their staffs) were barking orders on no double passport, and the time slots for those that should be on the queue. I got in and they checked my SEVIS receipt and forms. Took a sit and I was later ushered into the embassy proper. Another set of security checks before I made my way into the hall where the interview was to be conducted. You could virtually sense the tension in the room. Omo it is not easy. It's like the gate of heaven ... And I saw many people going to the left i.e back to Nigeria with a Blue form. If you have a white form, then you go to the right. LOL.

Fast track to the visa interview proper:

VO: Hello

Me: Good day sir (With a James Bond smile. Not too detailed and not to strict. Casual sexy. )

VO: Why are you going to the US?

Me: I'm going for my master's program at soso University for my MBA. (I didn't wait for him to ask and I quickly interjected). I actually got to know about the school online and after I went through their programs, I discovered that it actually stood out and I felt since I had a great GRE score and my CGPA was competitive enough I could apply to the school and get the funding they promised.

VO: Oh so, you got funding?

Me: Yes I did (I also interjected). Though I got offers from other schools, but I feel this had the best package for me.

VO: Can I see your test scores?

Me: Brought out my GRE and TOEFL scores... the ones I was carrying placard like like someone taking a mugshot).

He stared at it for minutes and kept on looking at it. At some point he just dropped it and was looking at me for like a minute or two. I was confused but I didn't let it show. After a while he continued:

VO: So, who is sponsoring your education?

Me: I got full funding but in case I need anything I have my parents support. (Brought out my sponsor's statement of account)

VO: Have you travelled before? (No I haven't)

Let me dwell on this a bit. I got some people telling me virgin passport is not good and I should waste money stamping one passport in and out and traveling and stuff. Trash that.

VO: (Typing something on his system.) Lecture me. What is an MBA and what is it's importance to you when you are done?

Me: (I never experrerrit. That was a blow in the jugular... But I calmed myself and ensured the internal world war 2 in me didn't erupt). Sincerely I can't remember everything I said at this point. I shaa know I was talking and he was looking at me with a blank face as if I was talking rubbish.

VO: (After a while he cut me short and said something along the lines of picking up my passport and handed me the white paper).

So.. There it goes. The major thing is that you get prepared and work on your mind. Pray as well and hope for the best.

Wish everyone about to go for their interview great success!

Perotti:
Hello to the great folks in this house, I want to ask those who have been living in the US about buying a car. I saw one Ad on facebook for a 2003 Nissan Murano going for $2500 with mileage of 198k. The owner says the only repair issues i need to do is a tune up and new tires.

Do you think it will be wise to go for such?

Thanks

Some people talk about KBB and carfax, you could use that sir

Scholastica16 is the main '' Die-hard''. I thought I was the definition of '' we would die on the line ''. I like your perseverance! Congrats Boss
