nawa ooo , even American citizens sef no dey pay 200/300$ . You better budget 20000-30000 $ per annum .

lasthero:


per credit hour? or per semester?

200/300$ is like 72,000naira / 108,000naira
for the former, more likely

for the later, i don't think so

AlterEnigma:
2. Pls and pls , As stated so many times here... When asked how you got to know about the school.. they dont want to hear msinus or internet ish..

Make sure you have a legit fellow who you heard about the school from..

VO asked this fellow how he got to know about the school and he called the name of a person.. the VO then told the guy to spell the name while he checked his database..
They have all this info on their server.. so be careful if you plan on using someone whose been through their system

EZEIGBO1OFIMO:

Absolute foolishness, how else are people supposed to look for schools, by consulting orisa and IFA abi ..... there's nothing wrong with finding a school online, as that is what the internet was made for, getting information, otherwise previously unreachable due to location barriers, at the tip of your fingertips, hearing about the school from even buhari or Trump himself makes you no different from me who tailored my search on any of these college search engines, heck schools even have online tours for international applicants self, and ever ready support for those of us who "found them online"
Honestly, at bolded, how stupid do you think we are on this forum, VO's type all the time as they're constantly taking notes (which I feel is usually unnecessary). So the VO's have become the NSA , that have info about every damn human being you name, do you even realize that at least 4 people would bear your exact name, and except VO's can read minds how would thy know who you're talking about. .
Again , I call BS on this hearing about school from awon bill gates. Still no difference from doing online research, if Trump tells me about liberty university today, and I do no further research while femi who has done his thorough online research also appears for a visa interview, you think I would get the visa because Trump told me about he school?.. if your answer to the above question is yes, then your wisdom and intelligence has the mathematical complex number j attached to it ( its imaginary)

How will He explain that his relative is ready to foot the bill for his wife to eat and sleep in the United States.Remember the wife is not allowed to work to repay the money. This is not an investment in the students future. It is better he sticks to his personal fund else he will have a hard time convincing the VO. My two cents.

folmus:


How will he explain his relative as sponsor on his i20 when asked? You can advise him.

hilaryxoxo:
Thank you oh.
Personally, I won’t even do outside #100

#FightMediocrity

Yes the course matters too. A lot of people here jump at courses that aren’t even marketable. If someone should talk now, they won’t let the person rest.

It’s so painful because nairaland is very popular. Newbies can come here and just jump at some of the “schools” they see “flying around”

pls help a soul,,,, have my waec result in science but i want to study media arts, but I'm search for a cheap US university then i came across New Jersey City University and Cleveland State University i went and did some research but yet the tuition is kind oh high almost $10k so i heard there's a way for school to wave a tuition so my question is how do i apply for tuition waver, i tried emailing the school but no response,, thanks for the understanding

quinzypearl:
Hi guys,

Please, Is it save or a good idea to pick university of central Missouri (UCMO) over Arkansas State University?.. They both offer me the course I want which is MA in mass communication... it was university of central Missouri I use last year for my visa interview for spring but was denied and that was due to me not been able to answer the VO questions properly...

SPERMANC:
someone please

austinelex:
pls which means of payment is faster also,if I get to seme border how do I go about it

Ayoola222:
Good day everyone, can someone pay for visa fee ahead when someone still awaits admission for the purpose of booking an appointment for an interview?

Burna07:
Please I'm also having the same issue with eshipglobal. I can't add my mastercard to the PayPal. Can someone help with how I can pay for the eshipglobal

Mekurexx:
You have a point about ranking of the school but I disagree with placing mandatory emphasis on top 100/200 quota. How many folks from nairaland and outside have the financial capabilities of paying for a top 100 school? And do you know that some schools that are not even in the top 100 are great. My school is not in the top 200 but the dental program is the second best in the state. PVAMU and other HBCUs that are not in the Top 100-200 are highly respected in the US. I would rather suggest for folks applying to schools, they should check the school rating for the program they are applying for. Mayo clinic , Norton Health care, northwestern medicine etc, major health organizations hire alot folks from state universities you wont find on the top 100 list. And lastly, especially for Nursing students, check the rating of your school’s program in the state and the accreditation. In summary, a prospective student should ensure the school is accredited first, secondly, LinkedIn is an excellent source to verify the number of hired graduates from a particular school

hilaryxoxo:
Like I said earlier, I’d say again; apply to the best school your profile can afford.
A lot of people here have modest profiles. >300 in GRE, 4.0 GPA, yet they’d apply to schools that are not even ranked. I never said everyone should apply to Harvard or Stanford or MIT. I remember saying the minimum threshold should be the top 1000 in the world. Why would you carry your hard earned money and go to a school that has no ranking?

ALL I’M SAYING IS STOP SETTLING FOR MEDIOCRITY. Yes, University of Ibadan is well ranked than some of the schools that have been mentioned here. People are blinded by the fact that it’s USA.

Wake up, not all schools in the USA are worth it. Do your research and aviloid mediocrity.

Cheers

The truth is I take into consideration the ranking of this schools, I will never leave the shores of Nigeria to attend a school where UI is well ranked above. I applied to 9 schools for fall 2018 and I made sure they are well ranked above UI (1099 in the world), which has the highest ranking in Nigeria. I know I cant made Harvard, MIT and Yale of this world but the school should ranked above what we have in the country. You must know what you are doing, don't just jump out because it is US or any part of the world. That is my take on this

Walspring:


Is it two weeks you submitted your online application or two weeks you are sent an email that you got admitted?

Explain

Demonicide:
I submitted all my documents on the 20th of April, The school accepted it on the 2nd of may ( My brother had to call them for that). As at today I haven't heard �from them. How many days or weeks did it take them to accept yours?

Visa denied. Lagos. Post 2. 6am

Then secondly GGU offered me a merit scholarship of 18000 dollars ( She was just starring at me)

VO: which program are you going for?

Me: masters degree on environmental Law

VO: (Cuts in) LLM on environmental law so what will this degree do for you?

Me: This degree upon my return to Nigeria will score me a job as legal officer with Nigerian Federal Environmental Protection Agency,then secondly when you look at PORT Harcourt where I live,there's a lot of ongoing environmental pollution cases and most of these victims are masses who can't afford to pay a lawyer,so I intend to set up a service oriented NGO in ph where these victims could be offered free access to justice and I believe that a good knowledge of this course will go a long way in equipping me.

VO: sorry I won't....(hands me a blue paper and my passport

Me: Thanks


Please the gurus in this house should help me look at this,add or subtract where applicable. I actually prepared well for my interview and my interest is a bit dampened which is not too good for me.
I have a virgin passport which I have had since January 2014.

I am looking at reapplying but don't know what to state as the reason for the previous denial/what has changed in my application. I wouldn't also mind a mock interview: my whatsapp line: 08064553800. Please help a sister
