Please house am applying to Cleveland State University spring 2018 in short the only thing remaining is payment of app fee, my question is how many weeks does it take for the admission decision to take place and do you pay tuition before arrival? Thanks

This can vary. When all your papers are turned in, it could take between 4-12 weeks to get a decision.

hi everyone


is it advisable to talk about first visa refusal from a country ie Canada when on the date of interview please your candid advice is needed as the visa date draws closer.

No. Not advisable.

Iwillcross:
pls mind ur words I do not plan on abusing d visa like I said I want to study cos m sure of getting the job in Nigeria u think I care much about staying in the US? all my connects re here n I ve friends in high places who ve gone to different countries for dis same reason becos we know d job is sure once we return we ve been balling n we want to continue balling here in naija... after studies we plan to venture into politics here in Nigeria we just need a respected cert..and an accomplished dream so don't say what you don't know abroad is a medium not a final stop.. Be careful... God bless you

Are you kidding me?

Is that the future plan that you'll tell the VO?

September 15 is the Admission deadline for international student at cleveland state university . Some of my friends applied there for spring 2018,they have got admitted and their i20s are on the way. Resumption and classes should start 2nd week in January 2018.

RaeMystix:

Go to the website and check for their application deadline dates. Most universities do send out the letter of acceptance or denial towards the middle of December.

Figured my error. That was meant for students already residing in the States. Oops.

Spiritual problems, interesting!

What makes you think her spiritual problems won't follow her to yankee.

True!.....Well, I had two scenarios that the route of her problem might be either spritual or physical. She still has a chance, if the issue of her low grades was as a result of laziness and unseriousness. As for the spritual problem?. She needs God.

Good day everyone. I am a big time novice in this,please I need the help of senior men here, I want to do MSC in chemistry in a university that offers scholarship and no GRE & co exams required. Please I need guidance. Thanks

You didn't ask but will you also be interested in a university that offers a degree with no exams required? pm me.

He'll tell the VO that he is balling. No problem.

We all need God - for the saving of our souls.

Most Nigerians need to be disciplined, dedicated and goal oriented. Too often they hide behind "god" to excuse a culture of mediocrity. We've made Him a complete mockery.

RaeMystix:

Not everyone's destined to obtain a degree. I have seen folks that could not pass a common ESL class, but are doing great in terms of businesses . As for her, it's not too late.She could send her official transcript to WES ( nothing is impossible). A grade of D in Nigeria is viewed as a C is the US. Depending on the outcome, she could then apply to a community college, either to retake her low graded electives and general classes inorder to improve her CGPA before transferring her now new official transcript, or better yet start all over again. Graduate schools do accept mostly people with a 3:00 point and higher.....Especially when pursuing a masters degree in Science.

In fact, a C in a grad level core course is a failure and has to be retaken.

while its good to be suppoortive it also important to be realistic..... 1.75 gpa out of 5 , there is no need spending money on WES for that transcript.....check online calculator and see what it converts to in 4.0 before you spend any money ....if its less than 2.0 it will almost be impossible to get any admission with that. ......i see the only remedy is to start a fresh without using that transcript


no amount of play or unseriousness should result in that gpa score if you want to demostrate you are academically inclined for a next phase .

Visa approved today 6:30am am 16 just so you know

Am not listing it according to how i was asked

Why nursing(this i can remember was the first): Growing up, I have always had the passion to care for people which is why i joined the red cross society in my school. I will be fulfilled as a nurse and rendering care to people

Where are you going: susla

Why susla: susla has lots of study group which will help me learn and grow as an individual and also has a faculty ratio of 20:1 which ensures conducive learning

What is your plan after graduation: i will be transferring my 72 credit coursework to louisianna tech university

After that: i will sign in for OPT which is the optional practical training that is for 1 year

How did you know about the school: my cousin who is a n alumni of the school strongly recommended it to me and i also went on collegeboard to know more

Why are you just coming for interview: i have been trying to schedule the date but it has been telling me error so i contacted the school and got an extension letter (gave him)

When did you finish secondary school: this year

who is your sponsor: my dad he is medical doctor and owner of ***** medical centre (gave him letter of sponsorship)

And also his bank statement: gave him
.
.
.
.there was this akward silence, man u conscience was telling me tell him you did some test...barca was like no need....i followed man u

Told him i also did sat and toefl

What did you score in sat: told him and gave him the paper
.
.

Ill be issuing you your visa pick it up at the circled isolo after 3working days (donno why people dont hear this)

Thank you sir:you welcome

Thank you texrem
.


Out of my group 5 got visas 1 did not we are all going to same school (2year uni) and who are the people here saying your chances are slimmer or what sort

First of all congratulations.

Second, you were simply lucky. The denial rate for CCs is much higher than for regular universities. Nobody ever said it was impossible but rather you have way slimmer chances, which you just confirmed in your closing statement in bold. So why the extra emphasis on that? You were just lucky, and the course you are going for also may have helped (nursing is in great demand here in the US). So thank your lucky stars, prepare for your travel and hopefully we will see you soon here!

I am an alumnus of UMD myself, and I finished my masters program in December 2015. UMD is really a good school to be in and an admission from UMD is at least 95% assurance of getting your visa. Hardly are UMD students denied their visas. The UMD graduate school offers two types of engineering masters programs: thesis based (very competitive, requires GRE scores etc. and is for those intending to proceed on to PhD) and non-thesis based (offered by the Office of Advanced Engineering Education, GRE is waived, TOEFL waived for Nigerian students, not as competitive and for those intending to proceed on to the job market upon graduation who do not need to be saddled with the heavy burden of research work). However, be aware that the tuition fee for Engineering programs offered by OAE is about $9,300 per semester (which is also the same for both international students and citizens) and anybody intending on attending UMD needs to have at least one semester's tuition ready before they come in. The non-thesis based masters programs offer no graduate assistantships, although you can apply for other GA positions at https://ejobs.umd.edu Also, coming in Spring, as against Fall, will probably be better as you have only the spring semester (January to May) to pay through before the 3 months summer vacation (June to August) comes to be able to sort out yourself financially for the following semester. Cost of renting a place around UMD - in College park, Adelphi, Hyattsville, Greenbelt etc. is sort of above average (around $500 per month on average) and you should be ready to take care of that too, except you have someone to house you for a couple of months till you are ready to get your own place.

In all, I encourage those interested in UMD to apply. Nigerian students make up majority of the black graduate students in UMD and also the majority of the greater african students studying here. Also, the number of Nigerians living in Maryland especially (PG county) is enormous that hardly a day goes by would you not meet someone speaking Igbo or Yoruba. Maryland is home to plenty Nigerians and is a little home away from the greater home (Nigeria) for incomers.

For those looking for very good but yet affordable schools to study at, I strongly recommend University of Texas El Paso and University of Texas Tyler. Goodluck.

hi everyone


would love to hear from you all about my prospect am a graduate of pharmacology with cgpa of 1.75/5 have been working as a pharmacist assisitant. i intend going back for another bachelors in any medical science program.what could be my chances regarding my low gpa and interest for another bachelors degree.


i hope to hear from you all

How old are you? Are you over 25? If no I would have recommended going for another bachelors degree (applying to both a community college and a university, obtaining your visa with the university and transferring to the CC upon entry into the US and starting school there), however one's chances of getting the US student visa for an undergraduate student over 22/23 are slimmer. If you were to go for a graduate program, then your best bet would be to convert your transcript using WES (the most favorable conversion tool ever). Someone I know recently converted and his GPA on the Nigerian scale is 1.99/5.0, which came out to be approximately 2.6/4.0, thus making him eligible to apply to US schools with 2.5/4.0 minimum GPA requirement, schools such as Bowie State University, Morgan State University, etc. Your 1.75/5.0 may come out to be at around 2.5/4.0 but you can be sure if you use WES conversion tool online to confirm that and if it does reach 2.5/4.0 then thank your lucky stars that you do have a chance at graduate studies here in the US. You need to have a copy of your transcript for this. I strongly recommend taking the GRE exam to boost your academic profile as your very low GPA isn't helping you at all. Goodluck.

Good morning friends, please am sorry for my previous request. Please Dearies put me through on how to get a school where I can do MSC in chemistry. Thanks all

Everything you need is on this thread. Oya take this:

@femi312 gave us this:
There is this saying that says ''If we don't fight we have failed, but if we fight we can either fail or succeed''. So forget the tuition part for now and put in some work. First, you need to decide on the course you want to study, To save you some stress start from this website http://graddecision.org/ to know the application process, So step 1) Decide on the course you want to study 2) Search for schools using a)www.msinus.com (open this website with a laptop, you should see a list of school and ranking for some of the most common courses, you can start from there b)www.gradschools.com c)www.google.com (you can just type 'msc in bla bla in the us in google' d) www.usnews.com e) www.4icu.org . 3) check up the website of the schools you find, to see the requirements. most schools will require GRE and some will require both gre and toefl . 4) Register for standardize exam and take it. You can register for gre as soon as you are ready and prepared to take the exam. Its done online at www.ets.org. You can also get all the information you need about the exam on the website. You will get adequate materials to prepare for the exam in this dropbox I created https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9ot6d07hp1lkm7/AADL_dTihjEvNBRCBsmAcoXja?dl=0

TOEFL is an English test required by some US universities. though, some schools waive due to the fact that Nigeria is an Anglophone country.
For toefl, all you need are the speaking noteful videos in the link below, the ets toefl guide is enough to ace the exam for other sections. Just download the toefl ETS Guide from there website and the simulation test.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/45tvc3ifi8wh8sh/AACXR5j6l3nsWK8vZx5P28TVa?dl=0

As for the Tuition, if you have good results (GRE, GPA, Toefl), SOP and LOR; US schools do offer assistanship to graduate students. This can either be Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant or Administrative Assistant. Depending on the school, if you get an assistantship, your Tuition will be waived and you will also be paid a monthly stipend that can take care of your living expenses. One advice, once you shortlist schools, send emails to the grad cord of the schools and ask specific questions relating to that course and funding opportunities, be very explicit.

Lastly, there are basically 2 admission session in the US, Spring (Jan) and Fall (August). Schools admit more students in Fall, so Its advisable you plan towards Fall 2018. If you plan to resume in fall 2018, make sure you submit all your application documents before ending of Dec 2017. If you don't give it a trial, you will never know.My philosophy in life is to always do my part, with that I don't get to regret later. Above all, if you believe in God,pray to him..if not, good for you.

If you have any question, drop it here and you should get more than one good answer.

If you have exhausted all options, send a pm to me.

Walspring:



To all those that sent me pm and i forwarded your details out and said to me that you will send payment after test registration, kindly check your email to confirm the test registration and fulfill your promise because 9 people test already paid for although just 5 people sent me cash ahead of the test registration and still have 6 more seat.

Another good news is additional 3 offer was added and the total offer is now 18 and out of this 18 slot, 9 slot already paid for...

9 more to go and am waiting for other with their details..

God will bless those benevolent people and you will never lack. Amen

A big special thanks to all the benevolent men and women for this promo offer, prayer is that the Almighty God in his infinite mercy and blessing will continue to enlarge your coast because the promo is for just 10 slots, then it moved to 20, from 20 it was catapulted to 33 then someone added 2 to make it 35. We can see how it was enlarged.

Another 15 offer on ground but it will be for next edition if Jesus tarry in his coming with a new terms and conditions to avoid misuse of this opportunity.

A big thank you to all those who benefited from it one way or the other and posted it here and to those who didn't post it due to their busy schedules or shyness, We all wish you success in the exam..

To all those who sent me message via back door through someone and i didn't attend to or replied that i won't attend to them, please don't be offended because i need to justify the vision, mission and purpose why this offer was established by these benevolent people and am sorry big time.

Lastly to those who are going to send in their cash please have us in mind and do so.

God will bless us all.. Amen!

boneruns:
Please is the GRE discount still available?

Yes and rounding up this edition this week while next edition will commence

Those who are promoting CC here should continue. Maybe you don't know your action might put someone's future in jeopardy. After all, no one went with you guys to the embassy, so we don't really know if what you are saying is true or not.

There are some post you just read, over look and no need to comment on it because if you quote and comment you will be tagged that you talk too much and you are an enemy of those who don't have money and wanted to go for CC
