Hello house, I have been a silent reader here. Great work guys! Pls I need list of universities to apply to against January 2019 intake. I have a b.sc in Accounting 2012 and am looking to do sumfing into international Business or Human Resource. I have been working since 2014 till June 2018 when I resigned. Taking all these into consideration, pls I need universities in us to apply to and I don't want any that require GMAT or GRE. Pls help me out guys.
Thank you
Nobody is going to do this for you. You have to start researching schools that accept your qualifications. When you do that, you can then come on here for clarifications so that you don't apply to a "one building" university.

Check Femi312's posts, he dropped links that'll help your search. Also, check for schools that are still taking in applications for the spring admission, or better still, apply for the fall 2019.You don't need to rush this, to be very honest lest you make silly mistakes.

If you want your application to be robust, in terms of funding and your visa interview, you should write the GRE or GMAT as the case may be. You still have time to register.

I have a been a silent follower of this thread and you guys are doing a very wonderful job here. Really appreciate all of you. You are the real mvps.
So my profile goes thus
UG course: Human anatomy
GPA: 4.09/5
Wes evaluation : 3.5/4.0
GRE: Yet to write by November
Would like to apply for nursing in the US
My question is can I directly do masters in nursing or do I have to do prenursing or bachelor's in nursing again as an international student. Would really appreciate your response because I am really confused on where to start from #fall2019

My brother, to save yourself some stress & disappointment, please and please write gmat/gre. If you find schools that would grant you admission w/o those exams, trust me those schools would be poorly ranked & would not stand a good chance when you have your visa interview cos the VO will definitely ask if you wrote any standardized exams, as that depicts you to be a serious student.
Please be guided

LONG POST ALERT!!!
Today is Sunday so I want to share my testimony grin cheesy
I've been following this thread since December 2017 after Canada bounced me and this thread played a great role in my choice of school and visa prep & all of that. IMO, I think getting a visa is now harder than before especially when you don't have a plan or you don't know why you want to further your study. I saw many blues that day and people who dressed inappropriately for the interview(I was just smh).
July 19, I was interviewed by a tall slim lady @window4 and I was just praying not to be directed to the black woman tho she fine with nice pomo lips grin, Lol.
As an Accountant wey I be, I wore my suit, white shirt and a wine tie+pock square. I'm not sure I've any better advise to give other than the ones the elders here have always reiterated. But it's best you speak with all sincerity & be confident, plan(i mean you should know what you want), prepare well and pray well too. With God, all things are possible.

Vo: Good morning, can you pass your passport
Vo: Why are you going to the US
Me: I am going to Montclair State University, NJ for my Masters in Accounting with a concentration in Forensic Accounting (she tried to cut me but i had to rush my words just to mention my concentration)
Vo: Did you apply to any other school?
Me: Yes College at Brockport, SUNY
Vo: Which of the campuses?
Me: Rochester (I never knew if they had other campus stations but i was lucky to remember the day i dialled the Grad coord's nos it showed Rochester on truecaller)
Vo: So why did you pick MSU over Brockport?
Me: Aside that MSU offers a concentration in Forensic accounting and accredited by AACSB, MSU is the best public university and the most innovative business school in NJ. Aside that, the curriculum is well designed such that it doesn't focus alone on the theoretical aspect but it integrates a lot of practical case studies which would be beneficial for me going forward in my career. I will also get hands on experience with software training that helps to get a full picture of someone's financial habits and activities, track spending patterns and combine information from multiple financial accounts and I will get moot court room experience as well. The curriculum also ensures that when I eventually take my CFE exams, I'd not need to take extra classes.
Vo: You've been working at XYZ for how long?
Me: 5-6months now, started late Feb
Vo: And before then you worked at shengbele company, what do they do there?
Me: Its an Audit firm
Vo: Have you ever applied to another country(I guess she'd see through their database)?
Me: Yes that was last year, Canada
Vo: What program was that?
Me: A PGD in HRM
Vo: So why are you switching to accounting?
Me: I have been an accountant for a while and my undergraduate degree was in accounting so I have decided to remain in that career path
Vo: Was there no Msc Accounting in Canada? Why didn't you apply there, why US?
Me: The tuition fees were expensive and I couldn't afford it
Vo: Oh that's why you went for a PGD instead
Me: Yes
Vo: Have you been to the US before?
Me: No
Vo: Married, kids?
Me: No
Vo: Does anyone in your family have a visa
Me: No
Vo: So what will you do with this degree after school
Me: This degree will afford me the qualifications to take up a job at EFCC as an expert in fraud examination. I plan to work in the anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorist activities dept upon my return. In the long-run, I'd love to have my own forensic accounting firm where I'd be able to render consulting services to both the public and private sector.
Vo: Did you write any exams?
Me: Yes GRE and TOEFL
Vo: What did you score in GRE
Me: 296 (gave her the breakdown but she didnt ask for the report card)
Vo: Who's sponsoring you
Me: My mom
Vo: What does she do?
Me: she's a distributor for.............
Vo: Can I see her BS (she perused it well well)
Vo: Are you sure there's no other reason why you're going to NJ
Me: Not at all aside that MSU offers my preferred program
Vo: She reached for the white paper, ticked AP, said something about checking to see somethings check out and some other things i didn't hear clearly, wrapped my BS & I-20 in my passport and that was it. But the battle wasn't over till Friday when I picked up my passport.
I was on AP for a month, first 2weeks I heard nothing so I sent an inquiry mail but no reply. The 3rd week ended and I had to just call them and I guess that was when my BS were sent for verification. And the following week it got issued. TBH, this AP was torture especially having to wait a month. So many thoughts, High BP but special thanks to Ekebs & sunshine for encouraging me, e no just easy. My special gratitude to Folmus for reviewing my transcript and Winterstorm for the pep-talk before my interview day and to the elders here for your great contributions as my dream is now a reality.

With a good GPA and GRE, well written SOP and LOR, you will land a funded program in Biology/Biological Science and you can specialize in Cell and Molecular Biology.

Interesting. Would you be kind to mention a few schools that are known to fully fund these programs for international students? I'd do well to check them out. Thing is, I've been considering a lot of options lately and searching these schools has been a task on its own.
