Are there schools in U.s that does not require Gmat and gre before applying for masters program in accounting, finance or marketing...

imperiouxx:


I'm using a Samsung phone with yahoo app running 24/7. Whenever I try to login on any computer, a dialogue opens on my phone yahoo app where I can accept or decline login. As such, I don't have to key in any password before logging in to my email on any computer. Such double security pass is the latest way of preventing email hacking. Try set up one if you're using yahoo mail and an android phone.

Thanks man, will try do that.

safex101:
my transcript.. The interview was very fast, special thanks to GOD

VO: Good morning, how are you doing today, Can I have your passport and I20 please(with a big smile on his face)
ME: Good morning I am fine( I gave him the passport and all other doc,including ds160, sevis, gtb receipt. He selected the i20 and the passport out and returned the others.)
VO : Tell me about the information technology program at NIU
ME: Actually the program name is MIS not IT ( but I.T was written on the i20 form)
VO : He looked at the I20 , Okay just tell me about the MIS program at NIU
ME: I will be taking courses like ( I listed some of the courses), I will be completing the program in approximately 24 months, (He cuts in)
VO: What is your undergraduate course
Me: Business Administration
VO : Why the switch
ME : It is really not a switch, Business administration covers, MIS, HRM, marketing and few others and businesses in Nigeria is moving from manual systems to automated systems of operation, computerized methodology is being integrated in business procedures even in decision making (I stopped immediately I saw him take my pp and kept it inside the small basket and brought out the white paper )

I am not sure if he said your visa has been approved or all that formalities, only what I heard was when he gave me back my i20 and said you will be needing this and circled the white collection paper. I said thank you sir.

Without any exams? Please which school did you applied to

That's the same kinda double security Nairaland is tryna implement. I think that's why some set of people are getting numerous emails.

Saving $ Tip: Recheck Your Nigeria Rates. Some providers have started to increase the rates up to 11 cents per minute from UK or US to Nigeria.

Pingo is still 7.9 cents per minute on Pingo Mega to compare your calling plan.

ofcourse yes but if you need funding then you will need to write one of the above and for visa application sake. Some people get there visas without writing any exam but what works for taye might not work for kenny

Flight schedule.Lagos to ataturk airport in turkey is from 22:45 to 7:20am. Then from ataturk to jf Kennedy is 8:25 to 11:50.my problem now is the 1 hour 5 minutes different in the connecting flight.am just thinking that is not enough to connect another flight. What are those things I have to do for me not to miss the second flight in case the first flight schedule did not arrive ataturk on time.

The time is too close,I pray you meet up,but is just too close, there might be any delay,and JFK airport is always busy,and before you go through the CBP officer might take you a lot of time because of the long queue,so if possible you can reschedule the flight is better,and I also think if you miss your flight they will put you to the next available flight to your destination

pls does anyone know anything about spirit airlines , wanna use them as. connecting flight from NYC to Houston as direct from Lagos is quite high and pls anyone know of sites that I can use in booking cheap hotel.
thanks

What kind of staffing agency? If its the American ones like Act-1, Apple-One and co, you're fine. They are reputable and do have good and legitimate jobs posted. But if its those Indian ones, be careful. Many of them are shady and they strive to make you sign a contract that basically makes you indebted to them without actually giving you a job to do... Or simply giving you a bogus "project" like their fellow Indians call it. There may be some of them that are good, but I usually don't bother with them

You best bet will be to start applying on your own...indeed.com has tons of jobs posted everyday and if you're dedicated with your applications you'll definitely get called for interviews and eventually get a job. All the best.

Una good evening o

well in terms of spirit airline, I know a friend that use it from new York to las Vegas so is a very cheap airline but you have to pay for extra Carry on bags,checked luggage's,early boarding and drink or snacks in the plane.And for the in terms of the hotel you can book through Wakanow or use this link for cheap hotels close to JFKhttps://www.hotelscombined.com/Place/John_F_Kennedy_International_Airport.htm

Try Southwest Airlines, you don't have to pay for your two luggages

Lagosismyhome, walspring

I am certain with 99% that u will miss that flight for sure. Except if Istanbul to jfk is delayed then u are in luck .... sometimes the queue alone then waiting to transfer your luggage but no need to panic . .....or u get to jfk and see your luggage didnt make it due to the short transit time.

Since its morning flights then there would be other flights during the day .....usually if u miss your flight since its the same airline u are put on the next available flight for free ...so its fine . Just go ahead and relax . If u miss the flight walk to the airline counter and they would arrange a flight for u ....

the only thing you can do now is try ....immediately you get to Istanbul Ataturk airport head immediately to your departure gate and see if u made it or not .
