Good evening everyone.

I've missed close to 100 pages down. I can't possibly read all of them.

Has anyone been issued F1 for fall 2020?

Mosminic:

I must say your determination is really contagious and remarkable. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors. It is indeed bright

Thanks ❣️ i really appreciate, I also wish y'all the very best things of life

Phenomenalopeye:


Thanks ❣️ Sir, I totally understand you but my mind is made up, and besides I've got plan B, one of
the main reasons of me wanting to study in the US is to explore the field of robotics.
The interdisciplinary programs offered by US universities meets my needs, I'll design my curriculum to consist of 60% mechanical engineering, and 40% robotics.

I met students studying mechatronics here in Nigeria, I asked the how it is taught, all their response was pratical sessions are nothing to write home about, so tell me who would like waste 4 yrs studying without being able to build a functional robot, just only to code and program. Solve calculus learn CAD but no avenue to utilse your skills.
Absolute waste of time and resources!!!

Yes yes yes we know the advantages of studying in the US that is why we are here in the first place.

Personally from my experience. I would say don't give up. Take the SAT first. The person that advises you above, advised you according to his experience. Not to contradict all the truth he said but i've seen
a different experience. I know people that had nothing but got full ride. One got into Minerva with 70k+/year scholarship and Minerva called the US embassy to put him on the opportunity funds program after the deadline of application has passed. One got full ride to Franklin and Marshall, another to Rochester, another to Fisk.

Anything can happen, Just take the SAT first. If you get a full ride, good. If you don't get, then you'd continue here.

Ok, you’re determined to make it work. Where there is a will there is a way. Wish you all the best.

You have been enveloped by your dream, but tip the flap and try to look outside so you can see your realities.
Having a dream is not really hard, paying the price is. In my 20s, I learnt that if you want to help anyone who want to pursue their dreams, ask them what they have committed first. You know, what have they done for themself towards this dream? I can support one way or the other, but how far have you gone in supporting yourself to achieve this dream?
Let me guess you're from the grassroots. Life is very, very hard for youths who have beautiful dreams from this social class. But you have to look at the realities, so that you will be guided and not miss out.

Now, read this carefully. Getting admissions in the US entails many things: morale, consistent finance, academic soundness, focus to finish what you start. The financial aspect is the reality I want you step out of your dream to assess. As an undergraduate student, you have to apply to 2-3 schools at least, especially since you need full-ride scholarship and you don't have 100% assurance that if you apply to only one school, it will offer you that. Hence, 2-3 school is the best.

We'll use $/N400 for the calculation below.
Let us say each school application fee cost $40 X 3= $120 (N48, 000). SAT=N50, 000
Let us assume you manage resources and apply to schools that only ask for WAEC scratch card for admission. So, no WES or ECE.
Let us assume admission then came for fall 2021. SEVIS FEE = $350 (N140, 000); Visa fee =N70, 000
(God forbid that you're refused once, you will need another visa fee).
Let us say you need flight ticket in the fall, which would cost approximately N300K to 350K.
TOTAL: N608, 000

That's more than half of a million Naira. This is the reality I want you to partially remove the veil of your dream to see.
My dear, how do you plan to raise this money? How much can we give to support you from here? If you need moral and professional support, from the scratch to the end, I'm in for you. I will even try to support you with application fee, and get you people you can stay with in the States if your school is around them, for free. If someone here help you with 50K SAT fee, how will you get the 558K to run this race successfully?
If I were your mentor, these are the questions I'd ask you.

Now, sit down quietly and think. What can you do? How much can you raise? Who can you ask to help? Anybody in the family? If none, as that may be the reason you come here to ask for support, please focus on studying in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a wicked country and its entire system has been made hostile and shaped by difficult hands against children of the poor at the grassroots. It is what it is! But you have to fight for your dreams anyway. How you fight for this dream is now left for you to device...
You can study in the US, but it seems the best time for that is not now. Maybe Master's is ideal.
Got your request for DM. We will talk better.

Hi good morning sir, I've sent my credentials via email, to be reviewed to show it's authentic.

Thanks ❣️

Schrodinger1:


Legitimate registration for TOEFL and GRE is 50k each, if you can study on your own. I will give you materials too. PM

Cc geooxygen

please I need the materials as i am studying on my own. I can't afford the tutorial fee that's why I have been studying on my own. My exams is 4 weeks time. This is my wasup number 09045380650

Ok boss

I resumed back to campus today after a long corona break. Things don't look normal like it use to be before fa. Meanwhile, SAU is commencing fall semester tomorrow.
Couple of schools are also commencing this week or next week. With the American embassy and airspace in Nigeria still remaining closed, I think on campus school enrollment for fall 2020 is 99% impossible again for international students.


Ladies and Gentlemen, let's shift our goal post to spring 2021.

This is a faceless forum. There are people who masquerade as legit students on this portal and will steal your identity without thinking twice.

You don't send your " credentials" to a total stranger just cos he is dishing out sweet fake stories. He is not an evaluator, WES or the embassy.

When you get bit in the ass don't come back crying

fairheart:


I will check and reply.

You have turned yourself to the consulate abi na WES?

I'd like to add : there are application fee waivers. You can apply for them by sending emails to the schools. When applying for financial aid, there are also CSS fee waivers or ISFAA.
Your counsellor should also tick the financial burden question on your common app.

It doesn't need to be that expensive. Seek out help from these schools. As long as you actually do well in your SAT, you stand a chance. Check out HBCUs too. 2-3 schools is not sufficient for anybody-- especially not an international with need. Apply to at least 8. Find out which schools will give you fee waivers and tailor your list from there.

I'd be careful sending personal information to strangers.

Lol thanks, and besides i ain't sending anything like that just my WASSCE result, award of scholarship and other related stuff, not my transcript, testimonial, certificate.

Anyways thanks, he his also trying to help with my college application asking for proofs of academic excellence before he can render any assistance.

fairheart:


I will check and reply.

I've been looking forward to your reply since yesterday, pls kindly reply "Mr Fairheart" I've not been able to sleep well.

Thanks ❣️

I have seen the papers you sent, and none of them is confidential or has personal information except your name.
Your WAEC details are useless to me.
At this junction, especially with the comments here trying to damage Fairheart, I will observe and think and get back to you.
Don't make it seem like your dream to study in the US is in any man's hands; it is in your hand and God's.

drDoom3:


It is very possible and achievable with enough practice and preparation.

Hope he study very hard. Most people that scored high in SAT sit twice.

Did you personally talked with him before you say this rubbish?
Fairheart is one of the most generous persons I know. We talk every week since I got my visa last year. besides reading news and opinion on nairaland, I come here because of him. Someone that go out of his way to encourage others and advise me as if he's my blood brother. Try to hear his story first.
He's not your mate. Don't say rubbish about someone you don't know. You cannot help the 16 years old boy, yet you're discouraging him from talking with someone that offered to assist. You no do well at all

Boss fairheart, leave that boy. Let him go to the people that are are calling you total strangers that cant be trust despite all the epistles you share to encourage them. They are in the us too and they will help him. I hate nonsense.

@RemarkableMind pls kindly reason before you type, like did you see me write anything negative concerning that? Mr Fairheart is a nice person ok!
I think they are also, trying to help, but didn't go through the recent messages in details.

Pls don't let me loose my chance from Fairheart

Thanks ❣️

fairheart:

You are making threat. It is not necessary.
I think you look to man than you look to God.

no don't get me wrong, why would he suggest that you shouldn't render assistance simply because someone who doesn't know what's going on said something kinda negative.

I do believe in God!
