Obtaining a visa to study in the United States is not an impossible task. Thousands of Chinese and Indian students get visas every year. Our predilection for fraud is why things have become difficult for us. Nothing to do with God here.

EducationRe: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by ponpon(m): 10:38pm On Jan 07, 2018
315 to 325, that's 10 point jump in 2 weeks, I'll hope not using the same materials and you already know your weak points, on the hand I'll advise you use your score well because you have a competitive GPA and high percentile on both V and Q start your applications sir, there's literally no time left for '' roborebe'', if you want to retake I'll advise you wait for your diagnostic score, work on your weak areas and take at least a month to prep
pierre92:
Took the GRE on 4th January. I couldn't afford to quit my job so I had to manage.I work everday and weekends(Saturday and Sunday). So it was really tasking to prepare and write the GRE. My prep was done in snatches;in Lagos yellow buses,during lunch breaks,in between work lulls etc. Took 1st to 3rd January off to cram in as much work as possible.All of my work was Quant focused.
Test day was ok. The 3+ hours didn't affect me since all my exams in the university lasted for at least 3 hours. After this long story,my scores were:
Q- 157
V- 158
GPA- 4.67/5 (Pharmacy)
Prospective course of study- Biotechnology,Genetic engineering-Still haven't decided yet.
I am a bit disappointed with the verbal score because I scored as high as 164 in my Powerprep test (Didn't prep for verbal though since English has always been my forte)but slightly elated with the Q score as my cold diagnostic was a mere 144.I'm thinking of taking two weeks off and rewriting since I know I can easily smash the 325 mark with focused prep. To all prospective test writers, u can do it!
EducationRe: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by ponpon(m): 5:37am On Jan 07, 2018
Start applying sir, you'll get into a good program and funded, ensure other parts of your app are top notch

MLDrima:
I have taken my GRE, but my result isn't encouraging. Sincerely I don't have anything to say to prospective test takers. everything have been said here, you just have to use your prepping time wisely, know your weaknesses and address them before the test day and take as many full length practice as you can.

With my score am now confused on the way forward. I don't want to spend the little money I have saved applying to schools and get rejected at last, better I use the money to register for another GRE. But that will lead my application to next year. something that I don't want. But if that is the wise thing to do. then I have no choice I will go for it.

My profile is:

Q-158
V- 150

Cgpa- 4.21/5.0
Undergraduate: PE

TOEFL: coming up 03 February

Applying for: PE, M Sc

Considering my score, I have sent the score to the following schools:

University of Houston
LSU
Missouri US&T
University of Louisiana Lafayette

Dear House,
Please help me answer this question. Is it a red flag to apply for a us visa to pursue my masters degree without going for NYSC? I’ll be graduating next year but I don’t think I want to go for the NYSC. Will this affect or have any effect on my visa application?

You don't need strong guides, just be yourself. Sound like a student, know about your course, be clear on who's sponsoring you and if possible why, why you chose that school and how the program would benefit you. These questions can be asked in many forms. Don't forget to dress to kill, but don't wear suit oooh. Lol

Visa delayed AGAIN at the Lagos Embassy.

It happened like a mirage
. Though VO was sharing BLUE PAPER like cabin biscuit to all the guys before me. But truth is, they weren't responding fine and when it got to my turn, I approached him smiling. Though I am yet to explain what happened to me cos I was really balling like it was hot...

VO: Hello good morning.
Me: Good morning Sir? How was your night.
VO: Am fine thank you. Pass me your passport and i-20.
Me: Here it is. (Passed it).
VO: So where are you going to?
Me: I am going to TAMUK, Texas to pursue my masters degree in Mathematics and Statistics with a concentration in Statistical Analytics, Computing and Modelling.
VO: okay? How many schools did you apply to?
Me: I applied to 3 schools. TAMUK, Indiana University and McNesse State University.
VO: so why did you choose TAMUK over Indiana?
Me: TAMUK is a research University and has great research facilities which include the Javelina Algebra Lab which is the computer classroom for my department and the James C. Jeernigan Library which is one of the largest libraries in Texas and I believe having access to such research facilities will be a great boost as it will broaden my academic horizons.
VO: Nodding his head like agama lizard.
Me: (continued) also, in my quest to know more about the school, I downloaded the official school's app which keeps me up to date with happenings in the school.
In addition to this, I developed a good relationship with Professor.... (VO cuts in).
VO: When did you graduate?
Me: November 2011.
VO: What is your highest qualification?
Me: I hold a bachelor's in Computer Science.
VO: So since after school, what have you been doing?
Me: After school, I served and then got a job at xyz bank as a Service Executive. I am an ATM custodian and my roles are blablabla...

VO: nods his head again and ask So why masters?
Me: Sorry?
VO: I said, why do you wanna pursue a masters?
Me: Well, the prospects and opportunities for this course are extremely high in Nigeria and their is a lack of professionals...
VO cuts in: What do you mean by prospects?
Me: Job prospects.
VO: Oh? Okay?
Me (continues): For example, big data and analytics which is one of the courses I will study at TAMUK is relatively new here in Nigeria and experts in the field are hard to source.
(VO again nodding continuously like agama)
Me (continued). Companies here in Nigeria who need the services of big data analysts have no other choice but to hire expatriate professionals from other technologically advanced countries like the US....

VO now nodding harder and harder..

Me: (now feeling like a don jazzy singing ogbeni feli feli continues)...and there is the need to..... (I went blank. Mind you, i never crammed this o. I was flowing and VO was nodding his head and all of a sudden I forgot what I was saying entirely and where i was drivinf at.)

VO was still nodding his head and looking at me ooooo and with the expression in his face, was like, hey? Whatsup nah? Continue, am enjoying the gist...

Me: (I opened my mouth to talk, but nothing came out. Hey? I was doomed....) huh

VO: angry

Me: (stammering....) Am sorry sir....

VO: Just calm down. Take your time.

Me: (Just like Danfo wey dey push down a hill I pick up).... and studying this course will equip me with the analytical and technical skills needed to flourish as a data analyst and will help me fill the gap for a lack of indigenous big data analysts in my country.

VO: (indifferent) Have you travel out of the country before?
Me: No. I have not had any need to.
VO: Who is your sponsor?
Me: My dad.
VO: What does he do?
Me: he is into haulage, supply and distribution of petroleum products. He also owns petrol stations here in Lagos and Aba angry

VO: Are you married?
Me: No, but am engaged.

VO: brings out the devilish love letter from the devil's mailbag)... Am sorry you do not qualify....

Me: (goes deaf)... but summoned courage to ask, BUT WHAT WENT WRONG THIS TIME? (I expected him to say that yeye paper will explain but he said something else).

VO; Am sorry, you failed to convince me you are a genuine student. angry

Me: angry thank you.
VO: Have a nice day grin


Without being told, I know I screwed up when I off like say them press my remote from village....

All the same, I wish my people well... Mercybliss, I will sincerely miss u from the depth of my heart. @Tosin baba, represent us well. Remember you are our TAMUK course rep. @iPhy and @Mayorboi, @ikenna omo Igbo, @ojelade am so sorry I fall una hands big time this second attempt. No doubt it seems my first was even better. I wish you guys a wonderful trip to the States. You guys have been my family here. If God tarries, I will join you guys in due course maybe not now.

@lagosismyhome, @walspring, @my fellow Javelina, and all @Nairalanders you guys are the best.

(I just feel like crying right now but I am a strong man, why shall I cry? embarassed cry
Refire bro, you'll be fine. Learn to answer questions straight to the point, tackle tamuk over Indiana question well, maybe tuition, course work, funding etc. And I don't know where engaged stands but I don't think that was needed. Go with a bigger confidence, less talk and more appropriate answers. Don't sound like a bot
