Before the interview

my agent said after the interview,when am given the visa that when he will defer my admission, I don’t even understand anymore

Talk2leke:
Hello everyone, please who is in University of Minnesota. It’s really urgent.

please have you gotten the visa already? because I also applied to the school and I will be going for my interview 26 September

Nifeyetunde1:

Yes, I’ve gotten Visa already.

Talk2leke:

Yes, I’ve gotten Visa already.

wow congratulations 🍾 please ooo help a sister too, am going for my interview too soon,please if you have time, I need some one to guide me through please.

Meel:


If the unavailability of your MSc result is why you're not applying for a PhD then you're quite misinformed. You don't need a MSc to apply for a PhD in US. Check out Direct PhD.

Thanks....I will be glad if you can guide me on this. like I said I am open to advice and guidance.

Who’s going to DePaul university for Fall !??

Hi My ppl of Nairaland, I am here to call out this guy called @Yomi174, If you see his quoted post, He was asking for who will be going to Depaul Uni, And replied the message cuz I am also going to Depaul but 2024 spring and we exchanged contact, Hoping we will be helpful for each other about the schools and any other things, few minutes having conversation with Him on whatsapp this guy blocked me ni sha. We did not even chat that much, Just pointing this out cuz this is a bad behaviour, just wanted to let Him know and ppl of Nairaland cuz He might be here again asking for help and questions.

krcboy:

seriously , what exactly did you do that he blocked you .
You call someone out publicly with no tangible reason,
You actually seem like the bad person you are making him look like

For those having issue with their interview date coming after their resumption date ..
The first step is to inform your school about it .
Different schools have different approach to this situation. This is not a Nairaland question.
In my case, my school said they do not accept late arrival, so they deferred me to winter and gave me a new form I-20 .
I didn’t even have to start booking for emergency appointment. Now my resumption date moved from august to January and interview date is still august .

Pls anyone in Texas state university or San Marcos, I need help on where to stay before getting my own place, I’m currently in Houston but I have no place to stay temporarily in San Marcos, kindly assist or connect me to someone in Texas state university. Thanks

I’m currently stranded

I'm also interested, thanks

I got my denial in less than 5 minutes after applying.

So you may need to check again if you actually did apply.

Smith000555:


Can someone please share his/her experience 🙏🏽. I need this to know if I should defer my admission or wait a bit.

You’ll be fine. You may actually not need much from a JJC like you. Look for strong Naija community in Chicago area. Reach out to Naija Churches and mosques to find like-minded fellows. https://napachicago.org/ is a good organization.
Also, African/Nigerian student unions in schools like UIC, Loyola, UChicago, Northwestern etc can offer vital resources and help. This is your own journey, you can make it on your own.

Keep pushing, it gets rough before it gets better. You’re on the right track. Good luck!

BigIyanga:

Hi! I'm a final year law student here in Nigeria and i'm hoping to apply for an early admission into a masters program in the US. I'll really appreciate any constructive help or advise I can get here.

Caringiremide:

Yes

If you dont include your BS/HND years, you’re going to have a hard time explaining gap in your years after sec school…and ur work exprience.. and then why BS is needed now.

Kenny4smart:
Kindly share your opinions please.
What are the chances of directly getting into a Ph.D program with just an undergraduate degree in a non-stem field in the US please? I have researched some universities that allow this, however, I’d like to know if there are people that have been successful with this in our midst here or do you advice I go for just masters? I really want to get IN but then I very need funding that comes with P.hD’s which is mainly the motivation for the pursuit of a direct Ph.D.

Note, this undergraduate degree is from a UK university with a potential second class upper grade (2:1).

Your submissions will be much appreciated.
Regards.

You need a masters degree in addition to your Bachelors to be considered for a PhD program in any US school... This is because UK BSc., is only 3 years and insufficient for Grad admissions in the US...

Peace.

This is not true. Some US universities accept PhD students with BS.

BigIyanga:

Read my post again clearly... BS degree in the US is 4 years minimum... In the UK and some European countries like France, BS is 3 years only.. Hence applicants with degrees from these aforementioned countries, are required to have a masters in order to be eligible for a PhD or even masters admission in the US. Nigerians with degrees from Nigerian varsities, don't have this issue. I'm an authority on this.

Sisib15:
I take God beg Una pls be careful o A friend of mine in the US just called that her friend (not someone I know personally) went for her interview today, she was self sponsored but the agent had edited her i-20 to show that she was funded by the school. She was granted the visa but it seems the VO checked the i-20 on his system after she left and realized there were two different things. They called her back using a public address system and the VO asked for her funding letter which she could not provide, he then collected her white paper, returned her passport /gave her 221g administrative processing letter and told her to send them the funding letter via the consulate email, ofcourse they will confirm from the school. I don’t think I need to tell you that this ll probably end in a visa ban. Agent is telling her to write email to school now to beg them for funding, even if it’s 5k.. see how crazy that sounds? He don commot hand. This will put the school, Nigerians in general, and even funded students on

This person should forget about the US and can only be issued a visa after 99 years.. Waiver does not exist in this case sadly...

BigIyanga:

Ok understood!

Good then....

Hello good people. Kindly advise me, as I plan on writing the GRE in the next few weeks but most of the schools on my list do not require GRE for my program. Although few do while it's optional for some. Would you advise I still write it?

My program of choice is in the biomedical sciences.

With all that I mentioned above, I have not mentioned any tangible reason? you want me to screen shot our conversation here, and again how come I am the bad person? Thats why I am calling him out here so that everyone to know who is the bad person. Guy
