Hello bro, how ur south dakota runs? Am also applying to that school this spring among others.
I have questions for u since u'v done this process b4.
1. Do they want letters of recommendation?
2. Will they allow d submission of unofficial transcripts for evaluation purposes? I just want to know if I need 2 pay 10k 4 transcript or not.

To the house, letters of recommendation is very very very important. Please don't settle for any how letter n don't think they will treat ur letter specially cos it's coming from a prof. Don't settle for 1 paragraph letters n address concrete issues not some big grammar dat says nothing specific abt a student. #teamspring

Sorry to ask, are you going for Msc or Bsc

Yeah, me too. I have an expired drivers license plus photocopy of my passport I hope that's legit enough for them. You pay 4k while collecting it, right?
Yea, 4k charge is exclusive for Port Harcourt pickup location. They require valid ID, I'm not sure whether expired ID can work, or better still contact them to be sure to avoid being turned back when you get there.

Good day folks

My name is Rashid from Ghana! I have something that i greatly need the advice and opinions of the big folks here

I applied to do a graduate programme this fall at Troy University in Alabama somewhere in February this year and just got my 1-20 today.

But then, i am supposed to be in School by August 16th. i am in a fix right now due to some few issues here and will greatly appreciate members advice.

1. My TOEFL scores expired in May,2015 but as the time of application in February it wasnt and im wondering if i can go ahead and apply and explain to the VO's there or i take a new test

2.Wrote GRE too this year and yet to receive the scores

I humbly need assistance going forward folks.Your prompt response will be highly appreciated

May God bless you all
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 7 by akin3102(m): 5:22pm On Jul 24, 2015
Not all course of study require letter of recommendation but you will need Transcript evaluation..No waste your 10k..send your unofficial transcript to FSCA for evaluation and it will be sent to the school.

When exactly did you take GRE?
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 7 by akin3102(m): 5:31pm On Jul 24, 2015
I doubt if you can still make it for interview but give it a try.Try apply for emergency interview since dats the only way out now..hence defer your admission bro and rewrite your TOEFL..As for GRE you can go with your print out..

Hello guys, I have missed a lot here. I just recovered from the jetlag. A few lines of travel transcript won't hurt an ant, I guess.

Flight was scheduled for 8:50pm, July 20,2015. I did arrive the airport 3hrs before departure time. First thing on arriving the airport was to weigh my luggage, unfortunately, all my bags weighed more than the stipulated Kg, one of them weighed 44kg instead of 23kg. I was in disarray and completely paranoid, scared of coughing out $175 for extra luggage. Fortunately, a young man came to my aid. Trust Naija, nothing goes for free but he helped reduced my burden, however, I had to resort to travelling with two different "Ghana must go" bag, like Osufia who travelled to Amelika. That bag eventually served as my hand luggage, when everybody was rolling theirs I was dragging mine, I couldn't help but buy a faze cap to cover my shame.

Now, at the immigration checkpoint, Slimmy05's aunt came to my rescue. Consequently, Nobody searched my bag and I didn't pay a dime of any sort. After checking in my bag, I headed straight to the airplane, there was no time to play with people who went to the airport with me. The airplane left 5 mins before departure time.

We had a stopover in Dubai with a 2hrs 30mins layover time. We left Dubai exactly 9:20am. From Lagos to Dubai was about 7hrs and Dubai to Chicago was double the time from Lagos to Dubai. I had fun with the Indian bloke -Grofder - a Student of Stevenson College in Chicago- who sat beside me. He made the 14hrs in air super interesting. #but that guy can eat for the whole of America#.
We landed Chicago Int'l airport at exactly 2:52pm. Unfortunately, we could not disembark from the aircraft because there was no parking slot for our aircraft, we arrived almost an hour earlier than our arrival time. We had to wait for more than 1hr30mins before we could come down from the airplane. Immediately after that, I headed straight to the toilet, because I never wanted what happened in July 21,1845 to repeat itself. I did the needful and headed for the biggest interview of the day. I was on the queue leading to POE for more than an hour. Eventually, it was my turn to answer some questions;
me: Good evening
CBP officer: How was ur trip
me: cool, thanks
CBP officer: your passport
me: here
CBPO: typing while holding his chin and squinting
CBPO: I can't see any information linked to this Sevis number and also why was this I20 sent since March?
Me: (in my mind, if na joke, oga stop am) Well, my admission was for Spring 2015, I deferred, and that's the updated I20.
CBPO: Oh! I see. What course is that?
Me: Mathematics
CBPO: Your fingers on that, your right first, now ur left. Ok, now look straight to the camara. Thank you.
CBPO: Where did u study in your undergraduate
Me : Nigeria
CBPO: you mean all your life you've been living in Nigeria?
Me : Yeah!
CBPO: impressive, welcome and enjoy your stay in the United state.
Me: Thank you, with a smile.
After leaving his post, I started bouncing like a real American, went straight to claim my luggage.
The rest story ain't for public consumption because I was frustrated and disappointed.

The real hustle is here if you care to know, however, whatever it is, the hustle is worth it.

Thanks to God Almighty. Thanks to my TripAdvisor,Slimmy05.
Nairaland is my virtual home and everyone in here is my real buddy. Let the progress begin! See you guys soon.
