Hi DocND.

Chemistry program. My application is still out for review.

[quote author=Systrom post=101625615]Guys, kudos to all the good job y’all are doing on here!

Please can I get a list of schools that don’t require WES evaluation for post graduate studies

Thanks [color=#000099][/color]

I've been wondering about this too for someone who wants to study masters in public health with the way the universities keep asking for Wes and Sophas applications

Congratulations on that. I am still waiting on them even though it is past the 2 weeks period i was told to wait for a decision to be made on my application. How can I send you a direct message here?

Please I am having issues uploading a photo. It is saying it doesn’t not meet requirements. What can I do. I tried taking it at home and editing myself but it still did not accept it. I also went to a photographer. No luck there too. It is saying image not accepted due to compression artifacts or image is overly compressed.

Pls is there still dates in Lagos embassy?

Okay wowu i didn't think changing from F1 to B2 is a not going to speak well sef ... And its part of the reason I have started attending class for the three years Midwifery program i put in for here in My state o... Masters in what will be a good consideration since my cgpa is just 2.02. God please show me the way.

Thanks for the advice

As suggested,do WES evaluation and if your interest is in nursing, there's accelerated nursing program for those who have their first degree in sciences. Just try and use the Google to check for different University offering that you meet the requirements. I've seen some with CGPA of2.75 on WES EVALUATION

Try to use a professional photographer, I mean all these studios people. I snapped mine at studio24. Just tell them USA visa passport, they know the format already. It won’t cost more than 2k or so

Hello everyone. Please I got admission to university of New Haven for Msc Accounting with a concentration in corporate accounting with a 30% funding for falls and interview is close. I have Bsc in accounting from Nigerian University. Please i need someone to help me review my mock transcript.
Everyones critics will be welcome thanks

Awaiting your responses.

Hello beautiful people..below is my proposed transcript. Please help scrutinize and point out where corrections should be made. Thank you and God bless y’all.

Transcript.

Q: Where are you going?
A: I’m going to Grand Valley State University for my Masters in Communication.

Q: How Many Schools did you apply to?
A: 2.

Q: Why GVSU?
A: GVSU stands out for me because the course offerings have concentrations that are inline with the role I will be performing as a Senior Sales Manager at XYZ after my Masters Program. Also, I am fascinated by the research work of Professor XYZ. He has a research going on which is focused on “how language targeting helps in ethnic advertising”. As a Senior Sales Manager, this research work would help me to make more informed advertising decisions that are detailed and very effective.

Q: Why do you want to have this degree?
A: Presently, I work with XYZ as a Sales Executive. The Current Senior Sales Manager would be due for retirement in 2-3 years and one of the many requirements needed to fill in that post is a Masters Degree in Communication or a related Mgt course.

Q: Who is your sponsor?
A: My uncle.

Q: What does he do?
A: He’s a construction Engineer. He owns XYZ.

Q: Why is he sponsoring?
A: He has been so passionate about my career and he actually sponsored my undergraduate programs. I told him about the post of Senior Sales Manager that would be open at my current place of work in about 2-3 years and it requirements. He immediately told to me enroll for a masters program in the US and he would be sponsoring so that I can gain more advanced knowledge and intellectually fit in for the post.

Q: Why do you want to study in the US?
A: The US is known to have one of the best education system in the world. I would love to be exposed to this kind of environment.

Q: How did you get to know this school?
A: Carried out my research using google and other academic websites.

Q: What is your study plan/What are the courses you’ll be taking?
A: It would take me 24months to complete 36credit courses. For my first semester, I’ll be taking 3 courses while the remaining 8 in my 2nd, 3rd and 4th semester. My courses include Systems Theory and Comm, Empirical Methods in Comm, Emerging Comm Technologies, Leadership and Organizational Dynamics, Persuasion and couple others.

Q: What’s your plan after graduation?
A: With my updated knowledge of the various aspects of professional communication and its application, I’ll be coming back home to write my promotion examination then take up the role of a Senior Sales Manager after a successful examination. Actually I’m on a study leave, so I have to be back in 2years. (On a long run,I intend working with them for a maximum of 5years while setting a stage to running my own advertising firm to power most business in Nig. while offering employment opportunities to Nigerians.) words in bracket might not be necessary

Q: If I give you this visa, what will you do?
A: that means I have 24months of concentration to equip myself with advanced professional communication skill the head back to Nigerian to take up managerial roles and impact knowledge.

[quote author=Tooksie16 post=101638168][/quote] you may have to do the search yourself. I’m currently working on a list but I can assure you that the no of universities that don’t use sophas are not up to 5 in the top 120. The only one I remember now is Brigham young uni. The worst part for me is that most of these universities still ask for application fee again. Like if one isn’t careful only application fees will pass, 500 dollars

Tulacious123:
Please can you help me with Public Policy or Public Affairs assistantships? Thanks

Assistantships in PUBLIC POLICY/POLICY PLANNING in the US

Find attach the WORD DOCUMENT below, copy to your browser, apply if qualified

Please I need clarification on some questions.
I’m torn between epidemiology and biostatistics as a masters in public health. Most universities now have them as separate concentrations and biostatistics has better job prospects.
I’m bothered about the masters of science in biostatistics and how it stacks up against an mph in biostatistics. I leant universities and pharmaceutical companies prefer the msc because of the thesis part which I’m trying to avoid. I just want a professional masters.
but state health departments and hospitals prefer mph in epidemiology.

1. So is an mph in biostatistics regarded in the field?

2.Or will an MSc in biostatistics be better?

3.Also how stressful is an mph in biostatistics? in terms of assignments, practicals etc..
I have always loved numbers and calculations even if I had to drop it with going into the medical line.

4.Will not having a degree in statistics work against me if I want to go for msc in biostatistics instead? I mean more of the workload part.

Some US Universities have the msc under the department of biostatistics but for others it’s a joint effort between the dept of biostatistics and the school of public health and some others have it totally under the school of public health.

5.Do you think going to a program that added bioinformatics to it will be better ?

6.Also how do you build a resume for biostatistics and informatics?

I’m in the health field and I am exposed to community medicine but no further exposure to statistics.

7.Where can one with a degree with bioinformatics work in?
All my searches on google lumps biostatistics with mathematicians and statisticians so I can’t get a clear view of what to expect.

8. What hours of the day are you at your freest while doing an mph. Whether in epidemiology or biostatistics?

Thank you for all the replies.

I think putting just 214B there should be enough. They already know what it means.

Hello House,

Any gurus available who can help me with mock interview on the phone please. I can do the calling if necessary

adurajoseph:
Actually i believe lagos business school and covenant university offer both. Although its not that good but they have

No, they don't offer Business Analytics or Business Intelligence as a stand alone course. Do your research,plssssssss!

iamJfocus:
Good day everyone ....please anyone admitted to Grand Valley State University(Fall 2021) here .

I would love us to connect.

I sent you an email,kindly respond. I was admitted to GVSU for the Fall of 21.

Community colleges are red flags!!

Aishat89:
I have applied 4 times for an F1 visa to study in Houston community college ( liberal art and science) and got denied all through * though I have a bsc degree in biochemistry.

My Previous experiences in the american embassy have been heart acheing because I am yet to get approved...

I seriously don't wish to get denied again. It's why i have questions for the my people here it seems i was doing something wrong or it was just the system that wasn't helpful. Regardless whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well..

My questions are
1. Is it advisable to apply again since my last visit was in 2019, but now requesting for a visiting visa (looking into conferences) is this okay.

2. I have always been denied on the basis of "not proving enough ties back home" what do i do to get through this. Plus I intending to sponsor my self ( presently employed as a scientific officer in a federal hospital) and i am currently in year one out of a three years Midwifery program here because i believe it will count as enough ties plus my personal funding... How much more do i need to do to get approved... Plss anybody's knowledgeable advice will help me out of this dilemma. I am married with no kid yet... Anybody's guidance will be highly appreciated thank you

Malone122:
hello trust you doing good please I have a quick question
The part where one is asked have you been denied a us visa before and you click yes
It then opens a box that says explain
Is one meant to explain the reason he thinks he was denied or just that he was denied based on 214b ??

You can just state that you were denied under section 214b

Good day gurus please I need an expert guideline to register for GRE I visited ets.org have seen all on the site but is it safe to pay through the site when required and what am I going to get after payment is been made

Good evening to you all,pls i want do a certificate course in pharmacy technician in the US,i mean online study.
Can this be possible?

youre right @rosesaregreen i know of three schools so far but they require wes and some gre. application ranges from 30-75 dollars too

I did GRE and TOEFL to bolster my chances and just to have a complete package and prevent stories.
CGPA - 4.26/5.00 (I did not use WES, the school didn't require it and no money...lol... Some made it mandatory though)
GRE - 308
TOEFL - 99 (They accepted my WAEC in lieu before I sat for this exam)

I graduated 2015. It's been long and I was a little rusty, actually very rusty. I studied Agricultural Engineering and worked as a Mechanization Expert so na same line.
I got a professor of interest and he interviewed me and that's it. I did well in the interview and he advised me to apply. That's all.

I guess I also had good SOP and LORs

Transiter:


Hi, Congratulations!

Please what's your profile?
I mean Did u do WES? Did u write any exam?

Do you mind sharing your CGPA and exam score? I'm interested in the assistantship you got. Did it come with a tuition waiver and stipends?

Do you feel your scores and CGPA (evaluated or not) played the major role in your getting the GA? If not, what did?

Sorry for the 20 questions. I'm weighing my chances with a 4.0/5 (unevaluated) B.Sc Quantity Surveying. no GRE or ielts yet!

Vivianchisom93:
congratulations!! did you include you had a sister in the US when you were filling your DS 160 form?

Never....lol
