Hello guys, Please did anyone apply to James Madison University and University of South Florida? I don't know if admissions decision has started, no response since last year.

Guys, I'm still awaiting decision from UMass Boston for fall 2025.

Should I be hopeful?
You should have gotten a reply. Murray state Kentucky started giving admission since January. Well, it depends on schools. You will hear back.

A school in the USA is requesting bank statements before I submit my application for masters on their portal.

They marked it compulsory with asterisks

I thought that should come after admission has been offered?

apparently the three universities I applied asked for bank statements before they issued admissions letter.

have wes giving you the evaluated result??
because you can’t predict Wes accumulation, reasons the way they compute is different from ours.

I have done mine, and my cgp reduced alot after wes verified my transcript.
from 4.21 to 3.54

Boss this is not a reduction. 3.54/4 is an increase to 4.21/5.00.

i don’t get

my Cgp was 4.21 after wes evaluated it became 3.54
so from 4.21 to 3.54 is not reduction?

WES evaluates on a 4 point scale

I can’t say what i don’t know.
my only advice is you wait till you get your verified results from Wes.

In a lay reasoning,
imagine have 4.21/5
then they evaluate to 3.54.
which I understand their grade scale is 4.

imagine having 2.97/5
I doubt if it will raise to 3.0/4 you are expecting.

You should try using the WES free GPA calculator if you have an unofficial transcript, enter all your course credits and grades, it can give you a bit of an idea on what the GPA over 4 would be if you do the official evaluation.

From people’s experience, CGPA around 2.9-3.1 over 5 from Nigeria tend to converge around 3.0/4 for US after evaluation. I think there’s a good chance you’d meet the 3.0 requirements if you evaluate your transcript.

Try the free version and see.

Alright Bro,
Thank You
Any idea on GRE
Also is it possible going from B.Eng to PHD directly?

It’s not reduction, according to US standard your GPA is GOOD! 3.54/4 you are eligible for any scholarship or funding.

But Wes evaluates over 4.0 CGPA while in Nigeria, we use 5.0 so obviously Wes evaluation increased your CGPA. 4.21/5 is 84.2% and 3.54/4 is 88.5%. Do you understand now?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Digbick: 7:14pm On Feb 05, 2025
Pls can 2.97/5 gives a 3.0/4 on WES standard[/quote]Yes, your cgpa will not fall short of 3.0 after evaluation by WES.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Billions123: 2:37am On Feb 06, 2025
Is everyone still using WES to evaluate with the current dollar rate?

Please can anyone suggest cheaper services?

Fellow Nairaland Gurus

I need your guide.

I have a sponsor and also i’m eligible for loan from Mpower too

i’m thinking of getting the loan add to my form 1-20
although my sponsor finance can cover my tuition for more than a year.
I felt like getting loan can also convince the VO that i have enough funds for study.

What do you think??
I need your advise

Guy my advice here is,
before you apply again.
open your both previous ds160 to see all what you filled there before and compare in other to avoid any discrepancies.
