Success has no best time. You have to give it shots. I was denied twice this year before I was granted on the 11th of July. So what's your excuse again?

fecosequence:
ever since I got rejected bk last year December.. it's Bn hard for me to apply again because of fear.. though I intend going again before this year runs out.. I need someone to help me with proper orientation and how to go abt it. God bless you all.

Good day,
Beautiful people, I have an issue, am sorry I used an agent but she doesn't want to release my i20 until I make payment for agency fee then school resumes on the 8th of August and I asked for a scanned copy which she refused. This has causing lots of issues in my family they claim she might be lying . My question is can one resume school after the said date and what to do to remedy the situation. I found out about this site when I had already started the admission process.

(in percentage) how much have you paid her and how much is left?

its not good to use an agent, why then are we a student/graduate if we can not go through the rigor. Well some were due to lack of proper orientation/information, this not withstanding using an agent to process admission is not okay.

my advise (take it or u leave it). forget about her, start a new processing, search for schools, write exams and never be tired of asking questions no matter the response you get.

Goodday everyone... I'm ready to go to the Embassy for the 4th time... pls who would help. Posted previous transcript in part 11. Would really appreciate. I want this to be the last time... thanks in advance pls.

You might have to defer your admission to spring semester

Hi everyone, here's a summary of my current profile;

BSc Electrical/Electronic Engineering from a reputable university in Nigeria
CGPA: 4.95/5.0 (BGS)
GRE: V158 Q162 AWA 5.0 (1 month prep)
TOEFL: Not yet
Internship: 6 months with a multinational company
Excellent Extracurricular activities (Andela and the likes)

I'm interested in learning about schools that offer full scholarships in the US. I've being doing some research for months about this, and am currently applying to one of the ivy league. I would also like to know some [/b]ambitious, moderate, and safe [b] schools that I can consider for fall 2018 intake or applications.

It has been posted check up the thread

Congrats on your admission to UMD College Park and visa. I'm applying to that school for Fall 2018. How generous is this school with funding, did you receive any assistantship or scholarship from them?

Vindavid:
inwas denied too for canada visa couple of timea abd went for usa visa interview was accepted and
And was emailed the second day i came and was issued a rejection letter with no reason still not aure why or what happened

Probably the same reasons ypu were denied Canada visa. I supect you have received a ban im your Canada visa which is currently affecting US application. Ban could come from misrepresentation and fraudulent documents.

I want to secure admission for fall 2017 and is yet to approve pls I want to ask maybe I can still meet up for 2017 fall anytime is out ....Abeg I need advice on this cos I don't know what to do again

Rheenah:

, that's why a lot of people will claim to have read part 1- present and still ask what DS-160 is

Greetings house, please which Nigerian bank is the best to open a domiciliary account/dollar account before travelling in terms of bank charges,minimum withdraw,monthly limitation,bank rates,effective and efficient service in the US,e.t.c

Good day,

You can, but u can't enroll with an M1 visa.. you will have to apply for a F1 visa to enroll... After admission you request for an i20 then you book an appointment for a F1 visa...

Teedawg:
there are 100 of schools that do that... How many schools did you apply? what made this school standout among the rest you applied? what got your attention most in the school? how is their program like? will you be doing lots of traveling to local areas for evangelism? how many reputable ministers have gone there? is any of an alumni from there your mentor? there should be lots of reasons why you chose the school? is the location of the school in a moderate climate condition you prefer? and lots more?
i was laughing when i was reading the previous transcript about testimonies and all that you can do that in a Nigerian embassy its not church service you are going to lol but don't give up just go and check the school really well, watch their YouTube vidoes if they have, know some of their achievement. if its a theological school you need to bring something different to the table unlike others going to a normal university.. unless its just liberal art Christian university then you'll talk about both the school and then why you chose the program in the school.

bro i appreciate your response pls dm me your con, you really understand my case

If you have a way of contacting the school ; email them and tell them you want to defer . Then give them your address to send you your new i20 , it's will be delivered to your doorstep. Why waste money on agent ??

Your profile is very very good. Against Fall of 2018 apply to Auburn, Uni of Maryland College Park and UIUC. Auburn will most likely admit you and fund you fully for a direct PhD. UIUC do not allow direct PhD applications but I am pretty sure you would be admitted and with luck you can secure RA for your MSc which can translate into a PhD on completion. UMCP has admitted a few people fully funded for MSc with profiles less than yours so I see no reason why they would not admit you especially if you submit your applications early enough i.e By Oct of this year.

I beseech you to consider direct PhD for all or most of the schools you are considering as that is one sure way to secure funding especially when you fall into the early bird category.

For 2 reach schools (reach because admissions therein are precarious) try Uni of Texas in Austin and Georgia Tech as well. They fully funded a few Nigerians too with similar profiles like yours. Again via the direct PhD route.

Thanks. That means I can apply for a degree program b4 my M-1 visa expires?
