Please be careful and confirm the authenticity of the statement of account you might be given.
Don't shoot yourself in the foot.

monimaks:
Congratulations for being given tuition waiver at least it will reduce the cost of study a bit. When did you get the decision on tuition waiver??

teepee4Him:


If you got a full tuition waiver, you wouldn't need to show statement of account.. Confirm it's a full tuition waiver or an 'in-state' tuition waiver before making a decision..

GboyegaD:


Don't we think this encourages indolence? People should learn to read about schools and come up with why they are choosing their schools of choice. The more we keep encouraging people to drop profile and suggest to them, the difficult it is in the long run since school search is the least of what they can do for them particularly, those going for graduate programs.

My program(peace and conflict resolution) doesn’t require GRE, but I wrote GRE(299).
The school is ranked, it is ranked 7, 8 and 10 on some website for my program. I need first hand information based on past embassy experiences from Nigerians.

Milkshakes01:
Good day everyone,
Does anyone know about SALISBURY UNIVERSITY, Maryland? Is it a red flag university?

Veronica1221:
Hello great people... I'm new here. Aspiring to pursue a course of study in the US. I need to be carried along on the necessary information. God bless us

OluDare01:

Schools get levels and I agree with you, but not everyone has the right profile to enter top schools. What if he decides to go to a small school for his master's and then apply to a top school for a PhD? We all have different paths in life and the last time I checked, what gets you a job is what you know and the skills you have, not your school’s ranking.
I know a lot of people that went to ‘small schools’ that work for top reputable companies like Intel, IBM, Dow, Apple, Eli Lilly, Amgen, to mention but a few.
Ofcourse you have more opportunities in terms of funding, research facilities and personnel when you attend a top school. If you can’t get into those schools, attending a small school isn’t a bad idea.

Time2win:


That was days of rainning season. I can tell you with all assurance that there is no funding for this fall 2019 and only one GA position may be offered to Intl students this section

No dey deceive yourself and others here
Schools get levels

Good evening house. I need a candid advice.

My profile is:

GPA = 3.28/5.0

GRE: V.R = 155; Q.R = 149 AW = 3.0

Undergraduate Course Chemistry

Intended Major (Masters) : Chemistry or Material science.

I aimed UVM Chemistry initially, to meet up with their deadline, I wrote the GRE when I knew I wasn't fully prepare (5 weeks of preparation), unfortunately for me, I was not selected. Though they didn't complain about my scores, but I know that my Q.R is not good enough.

I'm planning to retake the GRE by May. Is it advisable for me to use my present scores to seek admission in schools where GRE scores are not ordinarily required e.g Illinois state University? Or should I wait till I retake the exam before I apply to any school I want to apply to. I'm targeting Spring 2020 admission and I want to spread my tentacles as wide as possible.

Kindly advise me. Your contribution will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

So I had my interview today for 6:30am. After reading on Nairaland how the VOs resume to work much later and my Uber guy saying the VOs don’t resume till 7am or 8am, I just felt relaxed. I arrived by 7am thereabout. I was getting worried as two youths I asked were on B1/B2 so I became anxious that my lateness may pose a problem to me. Well as I was carrying out my screening and biometrics, I just dey see coded blue paper issuance to people. I wasn’t that bothered although I was somewhat tensed tho. I read a lot about composure on this forum so I maned up. It got to my turn and the following exchange took place:
The VO was an American guy in black suit( can’t remember the window)
VO: Good morning
Me: Good Morning( we exchanged pleasantries well)
VO: where are you going to?
Me: I am going to National University, San Diego, California to Study the Master of Public Health with a concentration in HealthCare Administration, starting with the English language learning. I will be working with Joseph Lanctot, Chair of the National University Planetree committee on community-wide volunteer opportunities(vo cuts in)
VO: why National University? (I think I asked him to say again, not sure tho. He repeats the question)
Me: (paused for a mini sec) The school of health and human services is currently successful in an ongoing research project specifically in the area I am most interested in, that is the Person-centered care model of health treatment. This has made National University the first academic institution in the world to pursue and achieve the planetree recognition. Upon completion of the master degree program, I intent to come back to Nigeria and work with the relevant health authorities to introduce this model of health treatment to the Nigerian healthcare sector(VO cuts in)
VO: what do you do for work?
Me: I am an administration officer with **** and the core of my responsibilities includes(I briefly highlighted my duties at work as filled in my application); first aid maintenance, Solid waste management, water treatment analysis, routine fumigation and pesticide control, etc. I also ensure compliance to Health, Safety and Environment health laws and regulations in maintenance of Fire hydrant and portable fire extinguisher, safe keeping of harmful and designated equipments, bla bla bla(at the point of my finishing, VO cuts in)
VO: who is sponsoring you?
Me: My uncle(mentioned his name and profession with the ********** in Los Angeles for 22 years.)
VO: are you married?
Me: No sir
VO: do you have any children?
Me: none(in my mind I was becoming happy that this may be it(White paper lol) as most delayed interviews don’t get to sponsorship questions.
VO: Started Typing for long ohhhhhh( he didn’t even look at my face at this time). I was just hopishly smiling at his face. Quickly, he brought out the blue paper and told me I do not qualify for the VISA at this time. This paper will explain why. Na so I gently Comot.

Please house I already submitted my DS-160 before I resigned effective 28th February, 2019. Could this be a possible cause for my Visa denial

Had I known this thread a long time ago, my case would have been different but I guess we sometimes learn and become better by mistakes.

My people please I am looking for Masters program that is relevant in the workforce as I am starting from SQUARE 1 like Lagosismyhome suggested. I’d like the house to please be kind to assist me with 5 good search engines for GOOD or acceptable TOP schools preferably in the WESTERN(California) part of the United States based on my profile below:

Undergraduate: B.SC Political Science 2.68 and WES 2.83
Graduated in 2013, served from March 2014 to March 2015, got an Admin job in February 2016 till February 2019.
