Yes I am going for global development and peace.. Stop thinking weather d skul will give u admission or not.. With God all things are possible... My plans is to get visa with global development and peace and find community college after my first semester.. If is social psychology, education psychology I will do cos they are under stem

slimmy2005:
You mean the Stem of a plant or the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths)?

Ok. I was actually advice to get a VISA with anything that has to do with development, even terrorism and peace studies, they usually grant visas cuz they are not courses people tend to go for. Don't know how true though. Thanks a lot Sir or Mam.

Thanks for the site. Cant believe Digital Communication is among. I can even see Psychology. Even developmental and Child psychology which is good too. Was thinking it all had to do with heavy science.I don't want anything that has too much Mathematics and chemicals before the chemical enter my mouth like one poster said. lol.

slimmy2005:
Cool.

slimmy2005:
Psychology has some science content. Digital Communication also has technology and data science in it. That's my concentration.

I don't really know how true. Because I am yet to get one . Lol. Believe in God who created heaven and the earth that you will get your visa.. To be sincere UN I wish to work..

These science students don start o. Lmfao... STEM graduates are hot cakes in the labour market while others sell yams. Unless this is a joke, I salute the rationale behind this thinking. You listen to some people and u just wonder how they think. When u wanna write Jamb's UTME sef, if it's not medicine and surgery, law, petrochemical engineero-molecularistic-surgicolocus or something more in that region, u're seen as doomed in life. Y'all have to erase that baby idea and see life from different angles. Think before u advise people. Advising for example a graduate of History and Strategic Studies to apply for a STEM course and switch is just... mtchew.
A person who only had business with essays, arguments, long readings for four years without any form of Mathematics, chemistry, physics, should pay $50+ (like 5 times depending on d number of schools), apply for transcripts to be sent to these schools (calculate the costs), ace GRE, compose a letter of motivation to rival those wizards in the field (especially from Asia! Those Indian weyreys), and have letters of recommendation from History lecturers telling the admissions committee how he's going to be a great computer science or engineering grad student without any prior knowledge of programming, calculus, etc.
It doesn't end there, this person is also expected to get a graduate teaching assistantship and lecture or grade students? Well, pigs fly... don't they? If ur course is not closely related to STEM, biko... don't waste your money and time!!! Even applicants with a solid STEM background are rejected on a regular! Imagine being the person to review an application. U check transcripts, u dey see Intro to history, French revolution 1 and 2, Gender issues in the 16th century, Capitalism of the 18th century European states, World war 1. U go give the person admission if e dey apply for elect elect? Don't answer.

That's on one side, secondly. There's more to life than getting a degree, applying for a job and getting it based on that degree and working till u retire at age whatever. University education only equips u with the starter pack to be whatever u wanna be. Get d education and use it for anything. Do u know how many STEM graduates are out there? If u dey enter Yankee, shine your eyes and no go do like omo mummy, expecting to get a degree and magically be attractive to recruiting companies because u have an engineering degree or any degree at all. JFK, know what's moving. Network, even if u study anything... one appointment from an old friend back in Naija and you could be made. Ask boys wetin dey move for Yankee and don't sleep on a bicycle (I'm not talking about selling drugs etc o, before one overzealous bookworm thinks I'm encouraging crap). Know what u want and go for it. In 5 years u won't see that anonymous online poster who told u to do this or that to blame if it ends badly. You're free, choose wisely and remember u'll be the one to face whatever happens to u.

Have a plan. Critically examine any advice u get, many people give subjective advice on here. Largely based on 'limited' experience. At a point u would think getting a nursing degree abroad would get u a banana island mansion in 5 years. People sha.

Can't believe I wrote this much lol. Make una dey relax small small eyin baba STEM. Na oti dey give people breakthrough abroad.

You wont believe how many times i read your post. To say i laughed is an understatement. My dear, people tend to navigate were they perceive success. Infact all the courses i wanted to do, i keep hearing the same thing," its not lucrative". Thanks a lot. Lets see how it goes.

Is your school University of Bridgeport? The tuition is like $30,000! Did you get some kind of funding?

MsNas:

Oga Gboyega, how far? Long time no see o. How's Canada? Hope you're enjoying it? Come visit us soon.

malory84:


Ok. my GPA is 3.98/5.0 don't know what it will amount to when converted. Thanks a lot for the tips. I really want Cal cuz of the weather and all. Common cold weather for Naija na wahala for me not to talk of the US.

Fortissimo:


omo! Hmmm lemme guess...Minnesota. You dey find roomate? Five guys sharing one room tinz abi. Lol I dey joke o. But someone here mentioned smthn like that.

Mekurexx:
Contact the grad coordinator tonite if you can and analyze your chances.I didnt choose Cal cuz of the weather. Its the program first. Like the lady said, its an expensive city but one always analyze ALL Options before making a final decision right? But you will need to use IERF to convert your grades.it should come out high, depending on the sch you finished from too!

slimmy2005:
Stem is Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. It is not a stem program. Even Public Health is not a STEM program.

malory84:



ok thanks a lot.

Mekurexx:
Yeah Minnesota. I no like that five guyz sharing one room tinz. I'm a private person. but if na minnesota, its off campus, CA- on-campus. Yeah fizzile dey apply there too. and he seems a great guy!

Mekurexx:
I think Public health is. That link includes public health, environmental health, epidemiology. All closely related

Fortissimo:


I see. You should be able to get a decent and affordable shared apartment with 1 ensuite room to yourself in minnesota.

Mekurexx:
God willing. We keep pushing it and trusting God. And thank you for your encouragement!

slimmy2005:
