So that morning on the 25 in Abuja it was raining heavily got to the Embassy wet with about 100 people ahead of me...All that was in my head is I'm leaving here with that white slip...A lot of students were being denied before my eyes and people were saying sorry, I sha minded my own business like "Na Una Sabi ooo"

congrats but dressing doesn't affect your interview outcome. I saw some people with short nicker and polo, some even wearing Dunlop slippers getting approved. Just dress smart. During my last interview, I wore simple native attire.

Good morning everyone,so I just got to this platform and I dunno if the question I’m about to ask has been discussed earlier but please,I need answers���
Does taking the SAT and IELTS boost my chances of getting my visa approved?
If I don’t take those exams,what are my chances of getting the visa approved?
Please y’all should contribute and help a soul��

With the way V.Os dey eye people wey no write GRE, like say dem be admission officer, your best bet is to give it a shot. You'd obviously get funding with good scores unless you're O.B.O and money no be problem.

Lol,I no be O.BO,but then,what are my chances of getting the visa without these exams?

Oluwatosin2000:

Not writing them doesn't mean you'd be refused. People on this forum have gotten their visas without taking either GRE, GMAT, SAT or TOEFL. The V.O might not even ask you for any proficiency or standardize test during your interview. Since you want to know your chances... if there is a chance that an event will happen, then its probability is between zero and 1. That being said, visa decisions are 50-50. No matter how airtight your application is - it's at the V.O's discretion to either approve or refuse ~ which would depend on how your interview goes.

Oluwatosin2000:


Lol,I no be O.BO,but then,what are my chances of getting the visa without these exams?

Mentioning standardized tests during an interview just shows you're a genuine student and might increase your chances. Though, it won't reduce your chances cuz even people with Ivy League admission letters, perfect SAT & TOEFL scores get denied due to other reasons. If you're feeling fly and confident and you've also met other requirements, shoot your shot and you fit score with bicycle kick.

Please any body here who got funding in pure and industrial chemistry and materials metallurgical or material science for masters or phd should reply me.

Hi guys, I am new here. 4.61/5.00 cpga, 4.91 last 2 years. I have a letter of language proficiency from my school and I would like to go for msc in biotechnology.my BSc is in biology, I need someone to help review my Academic CV..

See as CGPA sweet like fresh bread

Your letter of language proficiency is not enough, you can find school that completely waive English for Nigerians.

All the schools in Texas, I think, waive English for Nigerians.
U of Florida at Gainesville
U of Maryland, Baltimore
George Washington University, DC
Morgan State U
John Hopkins U
Florida State U or Florida A and M uni

There will be others but u need to dig it out yourself.

Go to any school offering your desired course. Go to their English language requirement page. They won't expressly say it is waived for Nigerians but you can find a link containing a "list of countries" which English is waived for. Goodluck.

1. Get your personal details off Nairaland
2. Write TOEFL/IELTS Nobody really takes a letter from a relatively unknown third world country UNI too seriously. If language proficiency isn't waived, save yourself the hassle and write a test once and for all times.
3. Biotechnology is a highly competitive field, so your GPA won't be enough at all, you'll need a good GRE score, and fantastic SOP&LOR to get any funding up for grabs.
4. Admission season is already upon us , so if you don't act fast, you'll have to wait till next year (if you're targeting fall admission cycle that is)

Now you can read the femi312 ancient wisdom

femi312: 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
createdhttps://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 2020.If you plan to resume in fall
2020,make sure you submit all your application documents before
ending of Dec 2019

VISA ISSUED :27th of August,2019
Interview date : 23rd of August,2019

BSc Chemistry
SECOND DEGREE
School: Coppin State University Baltimore Maryland
INTERVIEW LOCATION: LAGOS
Window 2

My interview was short. I didn't go with my ds-160, appointment letter and GTB visa RECEIPT (please don't make this mistake. I was charged ₦2000 per page to print those documents).

Apart from the usual goosebumps I get whenever I read Nairaland gist, I was worried with 2 things. The mistake on my i-20 and reason why I'm going for second degree. I finally figured out how to go about the i-20 issue but that other part won't just leave my head.

I Sha prepared transcript like 5/6 times .My appointment was 6:45am but I was interviewed 10:15am. Venue was Lagos. I didn't go with ds-160, appointment letter and GTB visa RECEIPT so I had to print them at the embassy. A copy was ₦2000. Everything was 8k but I gave the guy 6k (after interview�of course). I took another passport photo there ₦1500/6 copies (I'm still asking myself why because they didn't collect even 1 copy). I was the ONLY ADULT with hijab then 2 small kids. I did my biometric then went to the interview hall. I was directed to window 10 to scan my passport and the lady there was like I should go and snap a passport photo showing my ears,whole face and neck. I told her it wasn't necessary since the picture on my international passport is with full hijab and I was able to upload similar photo too while filling my ds160. Then she said I should go to window 12. still a woman, Nigerian. She said the same thing and I repeated my words again then she called the attention of an old white man and explained to him. He said no problem that she should go on with it (I was just smiling like a kid they gave chocolate�). I was then directed to window 7 for finger print. After that I joined the interview queue. Everyone was just suprise cus I was the only one that dressed in a different way (what's my own there I was just reciting اللهم لا سهل إلا ما جعلته سهلا وأنت تجعل الحزن إذا شءت سهلا).

The VO was a young guy 20+. He refused the family before me. Then it was my turn. That was how my legs refused to move...then this big smile just came and he was like I should move forward. The VO was really blushing �


VO: hey! Good morning come come (with a biggggggg smile)
Me: Good morning sir

VO: pass your passport and i-20
Me: passed it

VO: so where are you going in the USA?
Me: I'm going to the USA specifically Coppin State University Baltimore for a degree in chemistry

VO: okay okay good. Do you have a scholarship?
Me: yes I do but it doesn't reflect on the i-20 because I will need to complete my application before it can be effective. Reason why I presented my dad's statement of account when applying cus it was part of the documents I sent to the school.

VO (really nodding hard) what does your dad do?
Me: he's the Director of Crown oil . Crown oil deals with production and sales of engine oil for machine part. He's also the one in charge of the family land and properties. This is the certificate of occupancy for one of his houses in Lagos.

VO: can I see it?
Me: yes sure (passed)

While he was going through I quickly said.
Me: he's also one of the high Chiefs in Ikoyi (point at the Chief infront of his name) that's the reason for that Chief infront of his name there.

VO: (typed for a while) so you worked at University of Lagos with Dr...
Me (immediately) yes! Dr Adeyemo (he nods) we worked on a project which was published last year. Antioxidants Capacity of lemongrass and organic compound present.(this was my project topic)

VO: wow!!!! Tell me more about it (already going for the white paper)
Me: I got 5 different samples from different forest in Nigeria then I planted in the school garden. After it matured, I ploughed and did extraction after which I carried out analysis using dpph assay then I used a spectrometer to find out the organic compound present (my voice was shaking here because I wanted to explain all what I did for project)

VO: that's really good. I'll be approving your Visa. On this paper is where you will get your passport back within 3/4 working days. congratulations and enjoy your stay in the USA.
ME: Yeah thank you so much sir
(Collected my documents with AlhamdulliLlah and walked out)


It was as if everyone was just waiting for my session. Everywhere was quite. I was scared on my way out because it was just shocking. All the questions I've prepared!. I wanted to ditch the interview a week to my appointment. I can only say AlhamdulliLlah it was Allah all the way�. When I came out smiling everyone infront of the gate couldn't believe it. They were just looking at me chai!. AlhamdulliLlah sha


I really want to appreciate everyone. All the transcripts was very helpful. Walepepe,time2win,lagosIsmyhome ,Everyone. I wish everyone that's expecting good news and those of us already approved and issued won't face any problem beyond us. Best of luck!!!?!

Please House,

The issue of reciprocity fee/ visa issuance fee !

Is it applicable to those visa that have been issued but yet to be collected ?

Thanks.

VISA denied on the 29th of August.
Lagos Consulate
VO: Window 4 (a blonde white woman in her early thirties)

My transcript went like this.

VO: Come along sir. Good morning, sir
Me: Good morning.
VO: Your passport, please... And also your I-20.
VO: I can see you are going to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler and you are going for a Biotechnology program.
Me: Yes
VO: Why do you want to school in the US.
Me: The US boast of best, groundbreaking researches that are unmatched anywhere else in the world, especially in the area of Biomedical sciences, specifically in Cancer biology. Therefore, since I intend having a career as a research scientist in this field, I believe going to the United States for a masters program in Biotechnology is the best decision to make.
VO: Are you a graduate?
Me: Yes.
VO: Oh, what did you study?
Me: Pharmacology from the University of Lagos.
VO: oh so, you are a graduate of Pharmacology and want to go into Oncology?
Me: Yes.
VO: You do not have a working experience.
Me: I do. I have a year work experience during my NYSC that I completed in March this year, where I worked in a Pharmaceutical company as a Marketing Executive. My roles involved assisting the product managers in the management of the sales team.
VO: okay - though she didn't seem impressed - so, what have you been doing since then?
Me: I have been preparing for my graduate studies.
VO: So, what will this course do for you?
Me: I intend going for a phD degree, but currently don't have adequate research experience to enable me or qualify me to go for a phD program. Having a Master degree in this course will provide me the adequate experience and equip me towards a phD degree. Also, I am particularly interested in this program because aside being awarded a graduate assistantship, tuition scholarships and tuition remission, the school has a rich history in conducting intensive research in lung diseases like lung cancer. The school is even known as the East Texas Chest Center because of the high research activity in lung diseases (I began to stutter here, and apologized. She asked me to take my time and continue that she is trying to type in everything I was saying) These researches align with my interest. Also the school actively encourages students planning to further their studies by providing opportunities to publish their researches in Top science journals.
VO: I can see you have an assistantship of 12000 dollars, who is paying for the rest?
Me: My maternal uncle.
VO: What does he do?
Me: He is a successful business man that's into importation and sales of cars.
VO: Have you traveled out of the country before?
Me: I have not had the reason until now.
VO: Alright. I am sorry, I will not be approving your VISA, this paper will explain why (with a fake sad face )
I wish you the best.

Although my school already resumed on the 19th and classes started this Monday - this was the first thing the man at the passport verification point noted. However the VO never made mention of it during the interview. I was certain I was denied because of the late resumption. But is it possible the VO didn't even notice it and denied me for another reason?

I don't think you were denied because of late resumption, the V.O never even mentioned this. And if your transcript is as you wrote it, I think you did well. I am no expert at this but I'll say you should get an extension letter from your school and fire again, or just postpone till Spring if that is allowed.

Sorry, that blonde white lady in window 4 is very good at denial. She's in her mid 30's I think. She denied me on 27th.

She might have denied you on how you actually responded to those questions especially on your Job experience, what the degree would do for you and the difference between your deficit and SOA. Not forgetting your physical countenance and demeanor.

I am sorry about that bro, the reason is not about the resumption date. It started when she asked you about the change from pharmacology to oncology.

Pharmacology and oncology are two different medical field. You later nailed yourself with your work experience. Your work experience have not nothing to do with oncology.

So, she technically wanted to know what makes you to want to move from pharmacology to oncology.
