the entrance exam is not difficult, they try to take as many as possible. Cut off mark is 40% and they still organize make up exams for those who don't make the cut off. The real work is when you get admitted, those 9 months will test you physically, mentally and emotionally.

THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK!

Chairman I Salute oooo

@bold kindly give specific examples of these healthcare degrees or professions. thanks

BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT ONE CAN NOT LEGALLY HAVE EMPLOYMENT UNLESS THEY HAVE WORK AUTHORIZATION, PERMANENT RESIDENCY, OR CITIZENSHIP.

djfrancis:
Which would you advice a graduate certificate program or a graduate pathway program?

YOUR SITUATION DOES NOT MATCH THE PATHWAYS PROGRAM. AS FOR A GRADUATE CERTIFICATE, IT DEPENDS ON THE COURSE OF STUDY AND YOUR CAREER GOALS. HOWEVER, I THOUGHT THAT F1s ARE ISSUED FOR DEGREE-SEEKING PROGRAMS ONLY.

djfrancis:
Which will you advice. A graduate certificate prprogram
or a graduate pathway program?

NEITHER!

Please i need a help from any one with an idea of schools in USA with low tuition fee? Am a BNSC Nurse and I want to migrate to USA through school. thanks

IF YOU WANT TO EARN A NURSING DEGREE YOU MUST QUALIFY TO OBTAIN A LICENSE FROM A PARTICULAR STATE. MOST STATES REQUIRE A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO TAKE THE LICENSING EXAM. SO CHECK WITH THE STATE FIRST THEN YOU CAN RESEARCH THE SCHOOL WITHIN THAT STATE, THAT HAVE A NURSING PROGRAM. THEN YOU CAN RESEARCH THE TUITION.

Graduate Pathway programs are ideal for international students who need additional English language

you are not only from an English speaking country Nigeria you also states you have a master from UK (another english speaking country ) .

Which kind yeye agent advice you to this, that agent no know e work. this move is like going to the embassy just to dash them your application fee. This is highly not advisable in my opinion . if you are late for spring then simple, work towards another semester. if your sponsor cannot wait the option to apply to any program is stiĺ not the best because that might just be another rejection added to your record which you really don't need after 4 times

@LAGOSISMYHOME THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE! AGENTS JUST WANT MONEY WITHOUT REGARD TO SOMEONE WASTING THEIR TIME AND EFFORT.

djfrancis:
So are you saying the visa application would not be successful because I am applying for a pathway program? I thought pathway was also for people with low gre scores (whether quant or verbal deficiency) like predegree we have in nigeria.

I said spring because my sponsor would not agree to wait till next year fall so it's either now or bye bye to it

YOU ALREADY HAVE A MASTERS DEGREE FROM A UK INSTITUTION, SO THAT WILL MAKE ANYONE QUESTION WHY YOU'RE DOING A PATHWAY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN THE US.

Prefola:
The look of the entrance exam depends on the school you wanna run the program...
so which school are u aspiring to run the program??

OAU...SEEKING INFO FOR A RELATIVE

Prefola:
True talk...i did mine this yr too...wich xkul did you do yours??

HELLO, PLEASE, COULD YOU GIVE SOME INSIGHT TO THE PREDEGREE ENTRANCE EXAM?

LagosismyHome:
dont think that response has a right or wrong answer. if you are staying in school hostel then there absolutely nothing wrong with that. if you staying offcampus that fine too ....

FOR WHEREVER YOU SAY YOU'RE STAYING, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVIDENCE OF THE FINANCIAL MEANS TO PAY FOR IT. STAYING IN THE DORM WILL REQUIRE THE FUNDS UPFRONT. IF STAYING WITH A RELATIVE, AND AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED.

Hi everyone, first time on here.

First of all, I would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of a Graduate Pathway program as I applied for a pathway program in University of South Florida (USF) through a friend of mine who is an agent to study Entrepreneurship in Applied Technologies.

He suggested that most schools (averagely priced schools) for spring 2018 had closed and that if I still wanted to make spring which is my only choice, a pathway program was the best for me. That it is even cheaper and faster in USF (around 25k, 16 months period) such that I could apply for a Ph.d asap or with my UK masters instead of wasting time.

My documents have been evaluted by WES (2.74 US equivalent undergrad and 3.57 equivalent masters)

Issues that I currently have include:

1. I already have a masters degree in International business economics from a UK university

2. I scored 297 in my GRE (q 150, v 147 awa 3.5). Used it to apply for Management Information Sciences (my 1st course choice) at Baruch college, CUNY but was rejected based on my essay and verbal score. Although, my transcript didn't get to them on time for fall 2017 and so had to be shifted but still got rejected.

3. Since 2015 till date, rejected 4 times at different Us consulates. London, twice in belfast, abuja (family application).

Into USF ( that is what its called for pathway) requested for my transcript to complete the decision or evaluation process.

I need advice from similar experiences or educational advice to determine if I am taking the right step or not. Kindly assist please. Thanks

HELLO THERE.
BASED ON YOUR PROFILE, YOU ARE NOT THE TYPE OF STUDENT THAT GRADUATE PATHWAY PROGRAMS WAS CREATED FOR.
WHY? THE PROGRAM WAS CREATED TO CAPTURE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WHO HAVE ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. YOU HAVE A MASTERS FROM A SCHOOL IN THE UK...SO YOU DON'T NEED A PATHWAY PROGRAM. YOU'LL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE APPLYING TO A SCHOOL THAT HAS A MAJOR THAT COMPLIMENTS, BUT IS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR MASTERS DEGREE, OR APPLYING TO A PHD PROGRAM. YOU SHOULD ALSO INVEST IN IMPROVING YOUR VERBAL & WRITING SCORE. A MASTERS DEGREE IS RESEARCHED BASED AND YOU NEED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU HAVE GOOD READING COMPREHENSION AND CAN COMMUNICATE IN WRITTEN FORM.

I KNOW YOU WANT SPRING ADMISSION, BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT HOW SOON, BUT HOW WELL.

Good day all. Please I am applying to morgan state university, usa, for a masters in public health (mph), and I just concluded a phone interview with them,so really hopeful. Anyone with an idea or Experience of how good the institution is and the program, and the chances for a GA. I have already been offered an admission for mph at university of southern mississippi, so am still weighing the options. Ur advice is needed urgently. Thanks a million

I graduated from Morgan State.... it offers great opportunity anyone studying the sciences. You can get access to the top institutions in Baltimore and be a research assistant for government projects. Baltimore is perfect for anyone doing anything in public health/sciences/engineering. Baltimore is also more diverse than anywhere in Mississippi.
Like everything, your experience is what you make of it. So, if you are ambitious the opportunities are there beyond the classroom you just have to seize them!

All the best on your endeavors!

Congrats. I graduated from Morgan and I'm still in the Baltimore area.
