Which schools did you apply to. Try using the WES iGPA calculator to determine the most likely conversion of your GPA.

Probably you applied to schools too ambitious for your profile.
Some people with second class lower got admission plus funding this Fall. School selection is key

olasijiayo:
3.3/7 UI. i think it does bro, i applied for masters with those scores and got rejected

$120,000 deficit over 5 years.

LagosismyHome:


Why didnt you correct this before the inteview.... it's important that your i20 is accurate

Even 24k for PHD is no joke. Are you really wanting to spend that money ? . Dont be in a hurry to travel and get drown in financial stress. PHD deficit should never be this high?, if it is then continue school shopping

Congratulations.

I believe your first Visa was for the robotics competition, else, how did she get to know about that??

dreambound:
My approved visa transcript..
Vo: Good Morning
Me: Good Morning (wondering why she rushed to tell me first).
Vo: Pass me your passport and I20.
Me: Passed.
Vo: So what Engineering are you going for.
Me: Mechanical
VO: Okay, how did you hear about the school?
Me: ( *my gosh ...I heard bout the school from a friend but bee zee and others advised me not to say so..I forgot to prepare another response* )
It was recommended to me by a friend that studies there..but I learnt most of what I know about the University from my visit.
Vo: Nodding, looked like she wasn't listening after I said 'friend'.

Vo: Is this your second F1 Visa?

Me: No.

Vo: You've been to the US?

Me: Yes.

Vo: What's the longest time you've spent there?

Me: 15 days.

Vo: Do you have any family in the US?

Me: No.

Vo: (looks like she saw something in her screen) Your Robotics competition last year, where in the US did you do it?

Me: Albuquerque...and Houston.

Vo: So did you win? (She looked anxious..and from this question she started smiling at me)
Me: We came 6th

Vo: Out of??

Me: (Thinking for about 4 seconds)

Vo: (Smiling) around 60?

Me: I think we were over a hundred.

Vo: Wow..(smiling even more).

Vo: You visited this school?

Me: Yes.

Vo: did you apply to other schools?

Me: Yes.

Vo: Name them

Me: Howard University, Emory University, Trinity College, IIT Chicago, SMU Dallas, Loyola Marymount University..(I didn't mention some others and the federal schools that I applied to)

Vo: (Nodding as I spoke..I heard her saying wow when I mentioned Emory). Okay so did you get into those schools?

Me: I got into Howard, IIT Chicago, SMU Dallas, LMU..(didn't mention a few others that I got into coz I didn't say I applied to them).

Vo: So why did you choose this school?

Me: When I visited their campus, I was impressed with their close knit community and engineering program..I was also admitted into their honors program which opens up more opportunities for me, and then I was given a scholarship.

Vo: Okay (looks at my I20) So who is paying for the remaining cost?

Me: My Parents

Vo: What do they do?
Me: My Dad is the managing director of Bleep and my mum works as an assistant general manager at the bla..bla..

Vo: Your dad's business, what is it?

Me: (couldn't hear, asked her, she repeated). An eye clinic.

Vo: Picks up a white paper.

I was in an illusion when I saw the white paper...was thinking of the past, present and future all at once..I couldn't hear what she was saying (something about pick up in 3 days)..the next thing she gave me back my passport..I was confused..until I saw it was my old passport that she detached and gave back to me..She held my current one.

Vo: Do well in school..have a nice day.

Me: Thank you.

You seem to be confusing who a GA (Graduate Assistant) is.
You can be a TA (Teaching Assistant), RA (Research Assistant) or AA (Administrative Assistant). They are all forms of GAs.

I'm not sure you can get any combination of the 3. If you have a GA with deficiet, you show a SOA, to cover the remainder of your COA.
TIGER1001:
it's 20 hours a week . she said TA in a lab is 3 hours once a week since TA have actual contact hours and TA pays more than GA. is it that i will work the remaining 17 hours as a GA under my thesis supervisor, since a got TA and GA role?

Franfiny, I'm just a lil curious, why do fans of Tboss suddenly wake up on thursday evening and begin to vote.. Its suspicious..I don't believe in the theory of south African voters.. Nigerians voters will always win when It comes to numbers..Someone might be messing with the polls. We need to be a careful, the person might actually also be trying to give false impression. [b]


Bro frankfiny, I'm pretty sure u know my predictions were spot on..
Team Tboss, the greatest problem u have is the fact that u Dont know what ur problem really is.. Someone keeps manipulating the polls to deceive you guys. Wake up and smell the coffee. I have discarded predictions from bigbrothernaija.net . the polls have been compromised

True talk

Y is it every Thursday that the poll turns in favour is tboss.

Some1 must be manipulating the polls

But the poll on bigbrothernaija.ng has never been wrong with the order of nominees.

I prefer it to the other one controlled by tboss's private jet owner suitors
