wetin u Yan na fact but wetin matter for schools in the US na accreditation. Not if they're nice or good..another thing na wetin u fit afford, if not you go turn homeless overnight and I dey refer to people wey Dem folks no fit afford to help with money...wey dey come to fend for themselves...whether na love abi marriage or skills, any path wey lead to legitimate success na wetin matter...na my personal opinion be this ooo

It worked for him back then, doesn't mean it would also work for someone now. I'd always encourage people, go to good schools for nice programs. The love/marriage option shouldn't be the priority. Many students get internships and full time job offers from career fairs at their universities. There is always room here for students who strategize wisely before and after coming.

full-time job? for where lol. Tbh having a computer science degree or other stem degree doesn't help anymore. In fact, most companies require applicants to identify whether they'll need future sponsorship. They use this as a criterion to filter most international students. Most jobs, boldly state that you "must be an American citizen to qualify". So if you're not innovative or a genius park well lol.(This where the top companies come in)

I'm currently applying to 3 schools. Emory, Scad and Gsu. The former is an m.a in development practice, while the others are art related courses.

Would it be a problem if I don't get admission from the three schools, when I go for my Visa interview?

Also, about sponsorship, a friend in the US who isn't my relative will be sponsoring me through school. We've thought of presenting my brother's SOA, to the VO as evidence of sponsorship. Is this a good idea?

The VOs understand when people don't get admitted into all the schools they apply to, so put your mind at rest. However, your choice of schools will definitely raise a HUGE suspicion.

All three schools are not only in GEORGIA, but they are seated in one city (Atlanta), and about 25mins drive from one another. VO will be like, "Without any controversy, this sister get plans for ATLANTA - one of the cities with the largest population of Nigerians. Dont make his job too easy for him, spread out. No worry, when u enter, u go transfer go continue ur business for GA cool cool cool

Good day house,

I seriously need your advice . My babe recently migrated to the US under FX1 . She is a graduate of Civil engineering from Unilorin. She wished to further her education by obtaining MSC. As part of the requirements is for her 1st degree to be evaluated.she opted for American Education Research Corporation (AERC). However, she has been experiencing difficulties doing so , due to the discrepancies on the transcript as claimed by the subject body. The discrepancies might be due to her university not summing all courses in 100L except GNS. Her school has written to AERC to clarify their doubt . however they insisted on resending the official copies and stating the clarification ,which is stressful looking back at the transcript request process.

The clarification needed is ..

Is the AERC a valid evaluator?
Has anybody had this bitter experience?
What is the way forward.
Do we have Unilorin engineering graduates who have had this bitter experience?

Please assist.

If d school said they can take evaluated transcript from AERC, then AERC is definitely a legit evaluator "according to d sch". Of course, she should have just stick to WES evaluation.

https://exchange.etx.ng/OrderTranscript.aspx

Check this link, Ext-ng could be able to resend an electronic version of unilorin transcript. This one will be a lot faster than the paper version. If she can pay someone to go to the school, get the transcript n FedEx it, that will be better.

The problem is that I don't think she has time, and she can't just pick another school cos of distance. And this school she applied to will most likely not review her file if a doc is still missing. If she has some lecturer she can call, she will just have to press all the buttons at her disposal...sometimes, that person we fear so much might just do something surprising for us.

Whatever you do, hurry up, and don't give up.

That's enough. You don't need to send any other application. You will be evaluated for assistantship as part of the admission process.

I'm applying to the north Illinois University with my HND, if I'm sending my transcript to the school am i sending both OND and HND transcript?
If yes, am i paying for both or just a single payment? Because you have to make payment request for your transcript in school.


My school is bent on sending the transcript which reduces the transfering cost via WES, should I go through WES official page or send through my school. Your urgent advice please

Accept the offer of admission and wait for the assistantship decision.

Many programs make assistantship decision after making admission offer and NO it does not send any wrong signal whatsoever.

Hi
Please what does it mean to accept an admission offer?
I mean, after receiving an acceptance email, is there anything one has to do to show that s/he has accepted the offer? Or is it different with schools?

I won’t advice he takes a night bus, anything can happen on the way that might cause a delay. He might not get to Abuja on time. He can take a bus a day before his interview and spend just 5k or so for a night at an hotel close to the embassy. After the interview he can take night bus back to Ibadan.
