please;I'd like to ask a quick question.Do intending international students of Southwest Minnesota state university SMSU need to pay 2000usd from Nigeria to the school and show the bank draft to POE officials on point of entry??

Hey newest Mustang
You do not need to pay from Nigeria , You pay at least 2000usd on your first week in school, that's the week of your Orientation, which should be 16th of August or thereabout

Even my school would be posting my first bill on the 26th of this month with a deadline to pay on the 15th of july with a 10 dollar fine for late payment angry buh they have a refund policy after you might have undergone PRO (preview registration and orientation) wink

The assistants are rolling in but they're kinda late. Michigan Tech just offered me a GA to cover half my tuition with salary ( stipend). Now I already have my visa with MTSU with little amount for scholarship. I'll like to know if it's possible to transfer to M. Tech without doing any semester at Middle Tennessee State

Hi. Just an inquiry, and not an answer to your question: what department did you apply to? I have an admit from Michigan Tech, but it is unfunded.

Applied Natural Resource Economics

I went through your posts and noticed you carefully did not disclose the school or the program you'll be attending. I hope my openness changes that orientation .

Nice day

Part of the message i got from michael kurowskiA minimum of $2,000 to pay to SMSU within the first week of class (Failure to do so will result in your classes being dropped.)
Nothing like showing bank draft at the POE

Did you take IELTS or TOEFL?

No, I took neither TOEFL nor IELTS. However, submitted my BSc. from a British University with second class upper honors to University of Bridgeport, I think the appraisement was concluded based on that.
I really don't know. What do you advice.

That is the reason why you chose the school and that is the truth. US visa is not a right, you have to merit it to have it in as much as it doesn't guarantee entry. I would advice you defer your admission and write GRE and also apply to other better schools that would give you funding. You sound intelligent and I advice you do away with "it doesn't matter" attitude

Thanks for the reply but "it does matter attitude"? Everything matters until one stops breathing, if it didn't matter ,I wont be on this thread digging up useful & reasonable advice.

No,one said a visa is a right and I know it doesn't make you admissible on entry. Its also not a do or die affair for some people (me). A refusal only deters your course or plan but doesn't take it away.

Anyways,

I would agree to some extent you are correct, I chose it because it didn't require GRE doesn't mean I didn't apply to others that required a GRE score. I was awarded a $3000 scholarship ,well, I was grateful, I didn't expect it.

I thought Uni of Bridgeport is a better school than most? I took neither TOEFL nor IELTS nor GRE. However, I submitted my BSc. from a British University with second class upper honors to merit that scholarship I think.

Maybe I'll write the GRE then.

Bro, you might need to hit Google to get all the required info about the aforementioned courses. Landing a GA is a function of your performance in standardized tests like TOEFL and GRE. High scores brighten your chances of getting a GA position.

Amanze, I have read Americanah. The literary prowess of Adichie was highly displayed in the book. The book illuminated some truths about America not being what we Africans think it is. It also tells how racism is exhibited subtly by Americans(Whites) to African Americans and other tribes. How half-caste as a word is considered as a rude word. What I need is how our Naija brothers and sisters surmount all these challenges and thrive well over there in America for years.

persistence with a purpose thats the word, every single nigerian in the states has different path they took to greatness, buh most important u must be educated to a good level, I have a relative who studied mechanical engineering he worked for CATAPILLaR in nigeria before he moved to the states, he did his masters, he worked shifts at assembly plants for good four years before Catapillar sent him a cover letter to go to the headquarters in illionois where he presently works as supervising assistant manger with his own office, so brother just have a plan and put God in everything u do, am optimistic we would succeed cheesy
