Yes TSI covers all . Once you pass TSI,it shows you can actually start college class immediately

Ok, Thanks. I pray UH will agree to accept it cause they asked for either Tofel or ielts . I wrote it (tsi) 2 months ago.

Wait is TSI only applicable to CC

Lol i spent 1day and 13hours on greyhound bus from NY to dallas (twice) it was kinda fun, but stressful tho, dropping from one place to the other. Also it would make u see more of america.

I did once and it was fun. Would do it again if I have the opportunity to.

So graduating with distinction doesn't count 4 graduate studies? Coz I dey reason graduate with Distinction if I would guarantee u a good job

It doesn't count for job however, it gives you the satisfaction you desire that you worked hard and you achieved. The feeling when you walk across the podium when you are called and look back to all you went through to achieve it is the reason you have to work hard to achieve good success.

Haha. Actually economists have been shown to get the best GRE scores.
They are good in math and they ace the verbal section.
Engineering scores are skewed towards high math scores. They perform woefully in the verbal section.

I used to economists are only good at the math section and perhaps, analytical writing. Maybe, I am talking for myself and some other friends I know their scores.

U r right. I'm an economist and my first and only attempt got me 324. Verbal 164- Quantitative 160- Analytical writing 3.5

Awesome score you have. I guess mine was the reverse. I had 164 in QA, 140 in Verbal, and 5.0 in AW. Anyways, I got my PhD admits and I am happy I chose a good option out of the lots I had.

TSI is for those who do not have up to 12 college credit hrs. Talk to an academic adviser in UH if you have any credit hrs from a college. If you don't, you can not escape TSI

Pls, I will like to knw if one can secure admission in usa with hnd for undergraduate studies nd also is it a must to write standardize test b4 one can secure a visa?

Why do you want to go for another undergraduate when you can actually consider graduate studies? Quite a number of schools don't discriminate against HND.

Thanks bro. I finished with 3.06 in hnd and 3.14 in nd...I will like to continue with business administration. Am planning to apply to western michigan university for spring 2016. Is it a must to write standardize test b4 one can secure visa?

Not necessary however, it gives you a leverage with some VOs as they see it from the perspective that you are indeed going to their country to study. More so, if you want to get funding from the department, they require some standardized test in comparing you with other applicants.

Not necessarily true. It all depends on how you explain the relationship, the reason why the person is sponsoring you, and your confidence. It is better you are denied and have an attempt to try again than get a life ban.

Hello everyone.
In few weeks, I will be traveling to the U.S. Can you guys tell me what to expect on the flight and at both airports? (DUBAI TO HOUSTON). Which documents should I take with me? I'm flying with emirates airlines. This means that I'll have a layover in Dubai. Any advice for me regarding that? Any miscellaneous advice for me?
Thanks!

first thing . getting to dubai u would told go thru custom for check of ur carry on . no doc needed when. u just land dubai.
connecting to your flight to Huston. that's where u would be asked to show your i20 . if ur flight is uprated by Americans then that would be your point of entry. but most Emirates flight to Yankee is just the normal ptocedure. don't be scared.

It's one of the best airlines so far, you will enjoy it grin e nu go grin

Lol, there's nothing like "oyinbo food". It's only the mentality. "Just do in Rome as the Romans do".

Even white people love our food. They eat amala, garri, egusi soup, etc.

Almost 2 days on road? I would surely abandon the trip half way. Greyhound wifi is crappy except it doesn't work well with Iphone. I used Greyhound, TN to GA, 7hrs road trip and the stops were not bad.

Some people have cogent reasons for not wanting to write standardized tests. Cost is one of them , time's another, just to name a few. Don't be too quick to pass judgement on others especially if you don't know their predicaments

You say people don't write test because of costs?

Someone that can't afford 40K for GRE will afford 6m for tuition fees right? Because he sure won't get any funding without taking standardized tests.

I see your logic right there.

Centrix:


Some schools, albeit few, admit and fund prospective students based solely on their academic transcripts . Yet others take recommendation letters, publications and research/work experience into consideration.

I've had people tell me they have relatives willing to fund their education abroad if they are able to secure admission. In some cases, those relatives do not want to be involved in the PROCESS of securing the admission.

This is a bold faced lie.
I know of MFA courses and courses in critical writing and literature where your creative piece and portfolio will speak for you if you're going to be funded.

You think these people have funds to dash out. They'll take your transcript from a third world University hook line and sinker without validating it with a general test which is a leveller for everyone in the world? Which is GRE, TOEFL, GMAT etc and still give you funding? grin grin grin

Besides those avoiding standardized tests are afraid. That means they aren't even the academically excellent ones with good grades. You can tell.

Even after all these they conduct interviews for PhD applicants who are going to be funded to test their spoken English and composure.

Some people talk to professors directly to work In their labs sending countless emails and soliciting for spaces and assistantships.

You're not talking to novices. In this Era of budget cuts, schools are reserving funds for the best of the best and those who are ready to show excellence. People write GRE three times you know so as to get a high score.

On a final note
There is no advantage in not writing standardized test. I will still say it. Only a lazy student will choose not to write one.

P. S. If you still wish to advice lazy applicants not to take standardized tests, you can create a thread titled " how to get funding without standardized tests. This is real! Tried and tested " grin grin

I'm sure many people will rush to the red herring. After all many agents still dey hammer on top lazy applicants.

Hello, my advice is:

1. Say u apply more than 1 school even if its 1 u applied to
2. Don't say a friend told you to apply, say u apply for ur own personal reasons, find a good reason
3. If its possible u transfer funds to ur acct n ur Dad's acct and say u re self sponsoing or u dad is sponsoring u
4. Find a better reason why u choose the school, find some special to say about ur department

5.Be confident and pray very well
You have given him a good advice and bro don't rush ur sentence be calm about it, they are psychologist dey know d truth from your look and body reaction
Goodluck
