plea, someone should answer this question.. if the school I'm applying to says they don't need any kind of secondary school result evaluation or wes. can i just send my result(WAEC) like that?

Yes you can send them a scanned result ( some will ask you to send a scratch card pin/serial number and other infos for them to verify your result or better still send secondary school diploma they'll accept it. I did the same thing.

adey2014:
since you don't have the power to know if u will he accepted then there's no limit to the amount of schools you should apply to. it doesn't mean the person has lost aim. he is simply increasing his chances of getting admitted. I believe that's the purpose of the so called "safe schools".

this are reasons to make it justifiable it doesn't really make it a realitiy

goodmornin beautiful pple..I would like to know if there's a link to reading transcript only

Did all the biometrics and screening,. 3 VO's were interviewing, a fine pretty young white lady, a Chinese guy and another white guy, the Chinese guy approved the first 3, the white approved 2 denied one, while the pretty lady denied 3,she was just issuing blue form,. I was just praying Pls God favor me ooo, my color is white ooo. I was directed to this pretty lady and the guy she was interviewing was going for visit visa to his wife in the hospital, however she does not bear the same surname with the guy, the guy wanted to present marriage certificate but she no gree look am, blue form immediately, Na so this guy started crying, men I felt for him, but I thought he should have prepared an ans for the vo.

like you said those are ivy league you know how the competition is there if I wanted an ivy league also I'd apply all. compared to other traditional school ? that's a big NO

They applied to other traditional schools too. News only reported that they got into all of the ivy leagues. Some even rejected all of the ivy league admissions for the traditional school.

Hello. I am a silent reader of this thread and I really learned a lot here. Praise be to Allah my application was approved last week Friday and was issued Yesterday. I was really drilled for about 7-9 minutes.
First of all, I have previously been refused a B1/B2 visa in 2014. Then time I was a first year student at the University and I clearly indicated it on the form that I am a University student and also during the interview the Consular officer asked for what am doing and I said I am a student. She asked of the school and course of study. I spent two years at the University and dropped out for other reasons. So I applied to four schools in the US . Kalamazoo College, bates College, Northeastern University and Umaine. I was offered a good scholarship by Kalamazoo College and also Northeastern University. But i ended up using Kalamazoo i-20. I was really scared of being refused because I was thinking what if the consular officer asks why I didn't finish school here, my answer will not be that convincing. So I nearly pulled out from applying for the visa but my friend Chapecoense encouraged me. I really prayed that the VO shouldn't ask me any questions on why I didn't finish school here. Please this what transpired between the officer and I. This isn't the sequence of how the questions were asked and I really can't remember some but I know I spent about 7 minutes with her.
ME- Good morning
VO- Good morning
ME- How you doing?
VO- fine thanks
ME- My pleasure
VO- please let me have your 1-20 and passport.
ME- Sure.
VO- The first question she asked was You have a bachelor degree why are you also going for another one. I guess she saw my previous transcripts in 2014.
ME- please madam I don't have a bachelors degree. I should be completing this year but I had a family emergency which made me put my money educational plans on hold. I explained the emergency.
VO- how did you hear about this school?
ME- I made an intensive search online using academic websites such as usnews, Princeton reviews and petersons.com and then I narrowed down my search based on schools that offer experiential learning afterwards I consulted my selected schools website to gain information about their admissions process.
VO- why did you choose Kalamazoo College?
ME- I chose Kalamazoo College because they offer experiential learning programs which integrates classroom experience into real life. They provide hands on learning components through excellent internships programs and summer study abroad programs. I believe this will help me learn from experts in my field and also widen my employability skills. Also aside all the schools that accepted me Kalamazoo College offered me the most financial aid package.
VO- how many schools did you consider?
ME- four. I named them.
VO- why did you choose Kalamazoo College over Northeastern University.
ME- I chose Kalamazoo College college because they offer experiential and she cuts in
VO- Northeastern do offer experiential learning programs so tell me why you choose Kalamazoo over Northeastern
ME- I paused for like three seconds.
ME- I prefer to study at a liberal arts college because of small teacher - student ratio which allows for better interaction between faculty and teachers. She cuts in again
VO- Northeastern University is a liberal arts College.
Me- Please madam Northeastern University is not a liberal arts college. It's a research University offering masters and doctorate programs.
VO- you're yet to convince me why Kalamazoo College over Northeastern University.
Me- At this stage I didn't know what to say. Looking at each other. I choose Kalamazoo over Northeastern University because I understand the cost of living in Boston is higher as compared to Michigan and I currently have an intimate friend studying at Kalamazoo.
VO- Thanks for telling me the truth.
VO- Have you taken the SAT.
ME- No. I have taken College level courses so the school exempted me from submitting it.
VO- can I see your College transcripts.
Me- please I don't have it here.
VO- let me have your waec.
Me- passed. She scrutinized it and checked its authenticity. Afterward she said good grades.
VO- how do you intend paying your fees?
ME- the school has offered me a scholarship but my father will foot the remaining bills. My father deals in the sale of building and construction materials and he also invests in agriculture products.
VO- can I see his account statement
Me- sure. Pass it
VO- Have your father traveled before?
Me- yes. China and turkey.
VO- what does your mother does.
ME- she operates a super market.
VO- do you have siblings?
Me- yes. A brother and sister
VO- what do they do
Me- my brother is a lab technician and sister a student.
VO- have you traveled before
Me- yes. Togo to visit my family.
VO - she began to type for some minutes.
Me- I realized she didn't ask me any question regarding my program of study.
Me- I asked her please can I say something
VO- yeah.
Me- This robust combination of international business trade and commerce courses will equip me required skills.she didn't let me finished and cut in
VO- she smiled. I have just approved your visa application. Take this I-20 you will be needing it the port of entry
Me- thanks madam have a great day
VO- you too.

NB- This happened in ACCRA. Am a Ghanaian and I have really learned a lot here. Lagosismyhome thanks so much for your time here. Please keep answering peoples questions here.
Thanks everyone. Nigerians and Ghanaians we share many things in common

yea of course they'll apply to other traditional schools what if the get rejected in all we are talking ivy schools here so minus the ivy schools how many traditional school did they apply 20? 10? 8? 6? 5? I can even tell you that they didn't have to apply to those traditional schools because they may as well have been getting offers from most of them. look at that guy that said 10 schools up there be later came back to consider the expenses transcripts, Evaluations, shipping and all that com'n that's not realistic let's be honest regardless of what ever his life experience may have been. he can apply to them at different intervals if he gets rejected but all at once

Helkayklassic:
10 Schools, this bros is not joking with anyone o! i think i would apply to like 20 Schools too. Lol

make it 40 . double your chances

VISA APPROVED !!!!!!!!!!!!
6:30 AM
I WANT TO THANK BABA GOD because GETTING AN APPROVAL IS JUST BY HIS GRACE AND FAVOUR IS NOT BY HOW LONG YOU PREPARE OR HOW QUALIFIED U ARE.
AND I WANT TO ALSO THANK BANKOLE AND GANIYU FOR THEIR SERIES OF MOCK INTERVIEWS THOUGH I HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM BUT THEY ALWAYS GAVE ME A LISTENING EAR WHENEVER I CALLED DEM. I HOPE TO SEE DEM SOON SHA!!!!!.

OluDare01:
You need your transcript.
First you need to calculate your gpa in those chemistry courses only. This is gonna be different from your overall cgpa with those education courses. If you have a good gpa in chemistry courses only, you can go for masters. If not, I'd suggest you go for education because you might be required to take some pre-requisites in chemistry.
At this stage, I think what you need is an MSc, not a PhD. For chemistry, you can check East Tennessee state university
Middle Tennessee State University, Missouri State University, University of Nebraska Lincoln and other schools. Look for their admission requirements if you meet up with them.
Plan writing the GRE and Toefl and submit your applications for fall 2018 latest by december 2017.

Thank you so so much.
Please I will like to ask, since I'm filtering chemistry courses alone in my first degree. Will the overall GPA be 5 as obtained in all my courses?. Or will it be the overall of the chemistry courses only?.

Also, please what scores should I target in my GRE and toefl?.

I will also appreciate if I can get study materials for Gre and toefl.

Once again, thanks for saving me from agent who wanted to charge me 400k

Congratulations, please post your transcript...

OGreene:
Hmmm, i'm not sure many of us paid like this, waste of money. I had my transcript sent to an Educational agency. When I needed a copy for my keep, I just told them to send to me.

Educational Agency.. how did you go about it??

After much consideration. Please house kindly help me look into this schools if they are safe to go. I have my GRE pending for august. Undergrad GPA is 3.41/4 using Wes calculator.
Intending program is MSc Electrical Engineering.

Texas Tech University
University of tenesea Knoxville
Montana state University
illonois Institute of Technology
Stevens Institute of Technology

Just like you, my school doesn't hand out transcripts to individuals. So I had mine sent to an organization via email, the recipient then forwarded it to me and that's what I used for my applications. I don't think it makes sense to pay each time for a transcript, especially when you can use an unofficial one to apply.
Cheers.

bigugo247:
What a great success story, congratulations brother. pls did you sit for any standardized exams like GRE, GMAT?

Not sure this is for me but anyways if it is, I didn't write GRE or GMAT. It wasn't required of me. Just IELTS plus I'm female
