The minimum amount is the cost of attendance (tuition and living expenses) for one year. The amount will be clearly written on your form I-20.

Good afternoon. Plz I need the list of schools that give admission without sending Transcript via courier but through ones email. I have verified transcript from WES already.
Thanks in advance.

how i won take get am na

Spotlighte:


I think you should defer to Spring 2019 (or the November semester everybody's talking about now). Now, you have enough time to get your visa, and prepare adequately for your travel.

Success!

And just let the visa fee go like that

Hmm, that's nice. What did u study in ur undergraduate pls

What Africans Score On The GMAT Test
BY: JOHN A. BYRNE ON JUNE 29, 2018 | 3 COMMENTS 1,522 VIEWS


Ask MBA talent scouts what new countries in the world are they now targeting for their business schools and nearly everyone has Africa on the list. MBA program recruiters now routinely visit Johannesburg, Nairobi, Lagos and Accra for prospective students and like what they are finding.

Their interest reflects both the present and the future, the belief that an MBA can transform a life in Africa in ways that would be unimaginable in other parts of the world. But it’s also a bet on the region’s future economic prosperity and growing importance in the world.

One thing you don’t go to Africa for are high GMAT scores, though like in any country there is a wide range. This year, for example, one Nigerian with a 750 GMAT scored a big scholarship to go to Yale University’s School of Management. But in only one African country–Mauritania–where just eight tests were taken in 2017 was the average GMAT score higher than the mean of the 250,884 tests taken in testing year 2017 ended on June 30th.

‘AFRICA LACKS A TEST-TAKING CULTURE AND MANY WALK COLD INTO THE EXAM’

Last year, the average GMAT score for Africans taking the grueling test was 469, with a low of 288 in Liberia (see chart below).

Sangeet Chowfla, CEO of the Graduate Management Admission Council, which administers the GMAT exam, believes a couple of reasons play into the lower scores, from the lack of a test taking culture to flaws in Africa’s educational system. “Many are just walking cold into a GMAT exam with no practice,” says Chowfla. “We tell them you have to practice to do well.”

Even so, business school talent scouts, who routinely roam the world recruiting MBA students for their schools’ programs, have taken a big liking to the candidates they are finding in Africa, particularly in Nigeria, the region’s most populous nation where the most GMAT tests are taken. In 2017, 1,267 GMAT tests were sat for in Nigeria, nearly double the 677 in South Africa, the second most GMAT exam taking country in Africa. All told, African’s prospective business school students took 4,727 GMAT tests in 2017, down from 5,268 a year earlier.

Sometimes in life you just have to depart any form of insult and grab the useful part of the stuff.

You people are funny with all this choice of school bullcrap. His transcript went well, and by now I think it should be obvious that sometimes all you need is another trial, so are you suggesting he should go change school, and change his narrative thereby risking a possibility of complications. As long as your school is accredited, and you damn well know what you’re doing, one or two trials is enough to get a visa. Stop with the unnecessary importance y’all attach to ranking. I’m sure if it’s about rankings, by now everyone will know that. Your school can be an Ivy League schl, which is a plus, otherwise all you need do is sell yourself. Like the VO said, try again, he should do so, be consistent and pray for some luck, Lobatan.

You almost got approved bro. I feel you should show strong ties when next you appear by bringing your wife into the picture since you are married. Your delivery was on point. Try and be consistent when next you show up if you decide to refire. Don't forget God too. Best of luck.

Seems no one here has idea about procedure for student that are applying for associate degree and what their chances are. And what are likely question to expect.

It is normally said on this thread that it is harder to get a visa when going for an associate degree but I believe you will get your visa as far as you present yourself well to the consular officer.

Robert, you have a point. Try and search for angrynaijachiq here on nairaland and check out her visa interviews. On her first attempt, the vo specifically told her that her school was losing accreditation and before she could say much she was denied. Only for her to go back with same school and her visa was approved. Interviews are subjective and what one vo is going to accept, another vo may not accept. God is the ultimate.
