For me I have 3 friends in USA are got student visa,and they said at the interview they didn’t ask them for bank statement,Most times they believe the school you applied for already checked the statement to be sure you have funds.So you can try ur luck for the interview.

That was then baba

Then boom. .. Nigerians started going to the embassy with cooked SOA from those agents.

Right now they put SOA under serious scrutiny.

Exemptions are those with funding that covers a lot of expenses.

So leave luck outta it. Some nasty people are trying to close the door for the innocent ones.

I think it's only WAEC, at least for WES... But I'm pretty sure there would be one Evaluation agency out there that accepts NECO.. check naces.org

There is Educational Perspectives, nfp.

Hello Nairaland Family, I have a huge passion in studying in the U.S but financially I'm not okay and it's driving me crazy, I have make researches day and night if there are opportunities or possibly loan i could get and payback. I'm not lazy i would pay back in time but none gave without a cosigner.

The biggest problem I'm having right now is that, It's only me that have interest in this my parent doesn't seems to care about my passion towards this because they believe they don't have the millions and not ready to support my passion

I'm set to take the SAT I've been studying for the exam for the past 4months now but haven't seen any opportunity to register due to financial incapability...

Pls can anyone generous register me for the SAT...I know I might not have anything to reward the person but the God of Favour will favour the person in returns....
I strongly believe, I'll pass the exam with a great grade and qualify for scholarship...

Hello house

Thanks for the info sofar...

Read something on here about candidates that a offered provisional admission, having a hard time securing visa's.

How true is this and what are the things one needs to have and know to prepare well for
the interview to convince the vo and land a visa ?!?

Naijamyhome:
Okay, I have read all the brilliant and intelligent discussions going on here but I think it’s high time we understood the logic behind this. Although we all know that individual brilliance and luck play a part in getting a good job after an MBA program irrespective of the school but the truth must be told, this can only happen once in every ten. Graduates from top business schools stand a better chance than the folks from the low ranked ones. If you are looking to pursue a career in management consulting then attending a top 10 MBA program is a must.

Does the school you go to decide your fate? Absolutely yes! In fact, the school you attend has a significant role to play in the type of opportunities that come your way. It’s a no brainer! Certain consulting firms recruit from specific schools and the greater the number of firms that recruit from your school, the greater your chances of getting into one. Also, the top schools have developed a good networking relationship with their alumni and these people would always come back to recruit candidates from their Alma Maters.

I share the same view with bracelum. I think he speaks from the perspective of an employer and a job market analyst. He’s very blunt and he has been honest about it. If you are planning to go for an MBA, it’s important to target top schools so as to stand a BETTER chance of getting a good job after studies, and most especially if you are planning to take up a loan. This does not mean that attending a top 10 MBA programs automatically cross the ts and dot the is for you, but then having it on your CV gives an added advantage in the job market.

I just dey read una topics laff just dey catch me.

So school determines ones fate. Ok o, we are what we believe o.
Speak for yourself o if school determines your fate.

No one is disputing the fact that "Graduates from top business schools stand a better chance than the folks from the low ranked ones", but is on campus recruitment the only way into top companies? NO. You can work from obscurity into limelight, it depends on the individual drive and vision. Person wey know say he no get top Business school portfolio for him resume suppose know say he go work extra hard to get to where he wan go.

Attending a top school gives you advantage in the job market as a fresher but with hardwork and determination, a no name school graduate can still measure up. Highest na time e go take.

"If you are looking to pursue a career in management consulting then attending a top 10 MBA program is a must." Your opinion though

What you guys seems to forget is that top 10 MBA classes won't accommodate everyone but everyone can work hard and smart, network and attend Meetups, start from a mushroom firm and work his/her way up if that's what it will take.

I don't even support taking up loans to fund studies but if must take loans to achieve your MBA dream, take the loan irrespective of the ranking of your school. It will surely pay off

This overheated top this and that banter should end

N/B: I just decided to research the poster and the account was hastily registered on the 12th of April. Suddenly dots are connecting. If you know you know

Why will one ever use such kind of admission to the embassy

So you mean out of close to 1000 schools all you could come up with is a school that gave you a non-regular admission?

All I see playing here is desperation.

You cannot convince the VO of getting a regular admission over there when you could not get it over here.
You'll run into the streets

This your comment suffers from ignorance. But that is none of my business - I just want to comment on the highlighted sentences.

You must be du.mb to think I will stoop so low to create a phony account and write comments. You must be so so so du.mb to think about that. I never even get enough time handle one account, na to go register another account dey write comments.

See, I don't care if everyone attacks me for making valid comments here. I don't need to create a new account to make myself feel happy. As long as I drop valid and accurate tips here to guide prospective business students, I'm satisfied with that. Even if na one person my advice benefit, that will be something awesome. The haters can kill themselves - I don't care.

WES accepts both WAEC and NECO

Oga, I don't think you read between the lines at all. Luck and individual brilliance play a part irrespective of the school but it can never work for every one. If it works for you, congratulations! It doesn't mean every other person should follow your step. And if you are being insecured because of the fact you are unable to get into a top rated school, don't use that to mislead others. You don't need to be intimidated thinking it jeopardizes your success in life. This is an online forum and everyone is entitled to his/her opinion.

Hi bracelum,

Are you a protective MBA candidate? Are you already in the system? Are you an MBA alumnus?

fairheart:
That should work if the schools doesn't want to see the official from your institution. You need to ask the graduate office or graduate admission coordinator to elaborate on this! Some schools only ask for official evaluation copy, while some schools will still want to see official from your institution in addition to the evaluation copy.

@please,can you recommend school that doesn't require gmat or Gre for masters in Agricultural science or economics?

Hi fams,
I am grateful for all your contributions on this forum so far, I really gained a lot from you guys. How I wish I had known this forum before now I wouldn't have fallen victim of red flagged school processed for me by agent.
I want to ask a question bothering me and I need the input of experience individual here.
Does it worth it to take a 25k dollar loan per academic year to pursue masters in Applied Statistics at the United state of America?

I was offered admission last week and I applied for Mpower Loan and was conditionally offered the loan but I haven't processed the loan further because I need the advice of experience friends here on Nairaland.

Thanks in anticipation for your advices.

I will get you a few in the evening.

Insecured, unable to get into a top rated school, intimidated, jeopardizes my life success are all your opinions.

I won't talk about my insecurity, admission into top rated schools, intimidation, life successes with someone who opens a new moniker, jumps to romance section and starts seeking a "mature, good looking and serious lady for friendship that could lead to something meaningful, and the lady must be ambitious, good looking and less than 30 years old."

When you reveal your old moniker, or you share your successful visa interview transcript, show us your admission to a top rated school and doing a graduate degree in a top rated program, we will have that discussion.

Goodluck in the ultimate search for your soulmate.
