Most Scholarships are offered to undergraduate students based on their high school GPA(evaluated WAEC) and SAT score. If U really need a scholarship, I mean full tuition or half tuition scholarship, U must evaluate ur WAEC result.

Thanks for this info

LagosismyHome:


You are very correct...... i found out about WES when my sister was applying 3 years ago. Our target schools were 5 top schools and all needed WES for WAEC/ transcript for their funding process.

If you feel strongly about the school and they have a good scholarship and campus recruiting for job after graduation why let $250 stop you ... that very short sighted if someone advices otherwise

God bless you for this. Allow him to continue arguing what he doesn't know

slimmy2005:
are we talking about the need for evaluations or the means? In as much as your grades are not from US or Canada, you sure need an evaluation. But most schools do evaluate themselves with no fee attached. Well, it's clear when you can equate the level of education with the response.

You are still a high school graduate, so I'm not surprised at your response. You will understand better when you land here, that is if Trumps VO are meeciful enough to act right

I understand you. Thanks for understanding me.

Chapecoense:

Oga all these ur yarn no make sense.
You think becos u paid money to wes to evaluate ur result, then others should shell out money they dont have for things that are not even necessary.
Who told u most schools require WES evaluation for waec when u can just send them ur grades and scratch card info for them to verify and convert ur grades.
My guy always ask questions and stop all these ur unecessary rants.

This didn't call for insults. I aired my opinion which is a new devt being adopted by many schools now for undergraduate admission. I never insulted you. And by the way, you are not working with WES, so don't make such wrong assumption about them, that 90% of their evaluation are undergraduate or graduate transcripts. Make proper research before coming here to talk nonsense. Go to the department of education website data collection, about 75% of ALL international students in USA are pursing undergraduate studies at either colleges or universities. And majority of these people are from non-english countries like China, they all have their high school transcripts evaluated into US system by WES or other agencies. So don't say what you are not sure of okay.

slimmy2005:
You are being unnecessarily emotional about the subject matter. No one is saying you shouldn't go for your dream neither is it a crime to evaluate your result for your desired school. There are open options you can explore with better schools.

I guess when Howard gives you admission without funding you'll be able to pay your tuition. You think folks here don't value such great schools? It is much more than just interest, it should be backed by the ability to pay.

I think you are the one being emotional. I have made my points clear enough.
Howard offers scholarship based on GPA and SAT. I even got one.

Well, maybe you don't know!

90% of evaluation done by WES happens to be undergraduate/graduate transcripts because there re hundreds of thousands of universities around the world with different grading systems which brings about the evaluation and conversion into US grading system if you re applying to American colleges. To think that WAEC is more of high school certification definitely has little to do with WES even though WES does evaluates high school transcripts if need be.

WAEC is not a high school; WAEC is a regional (western part of africa) examination organization that is recognized around the world. If you are applying to any foreign university as a Nigerian, be rest assured your WAEC would be among the top requirements as long as you re from west Africa.

Most Schools in the USA very much accepts WAEC and they do even advise that you send along a waec scratch card along with your WAEC result upon application. (Remember I said most schools and not all)

I have made my points clear for those that wanna understand it. What you just said is quite similar to mine. THE NEED FOR A TRANSCRIPT OR RESULT EVALUATION, whether waec or whatever. For a clearer admission decision.

slimmy2005:
The vital point is, why spend almost $250 evaluating your WAEC that might end up frustrating you with delays from the WAEC office when you can get better schools that would accept a printed copy of your WAEC, evaluate for you and hand you admission.

No is talking about the difference or the evaluation itself.

If you are passionate about the school and that's a requirement; there's no crime in investing your money to get what you want. Almost all top rated schools require ALL international student to evaluate their high school record, except Canada which share a similar system with USA. No special treatment is given to any other particular country.
Not all admission offers can evaluate results into US grade system without making mistakes about some countries system. Don't also forget that fake results and transcripts exists in many countries. That's is the need for an recognized international evaluators, that also verifies the result or transcripts before evaluation.

The reason for the evaluation of high school record is to standardize the process especially when converting the high school record to US high school system of using GPA, which is not utilized in our high schools here and in many other countries, though some countries may be using GPA system for high school but in a different scale. Many countries write school leaving exams like WAEC, EAEC, and many more others, and their grading system differs from ours. While many countries like china don't write school leaving exams or external exams, but utilize their internal school transcripts. Now ask yourself, how will admission offers convert all these exams with different grading sysytem and transcripts into US GPA grading system without giving some countries advantage over others based on their own system. Your GPA maybe 2.56 when converted to USA sytem while someone in China gets 3.56, but your performance may be better than his. So it will be very difficult having a free and fair scale with the various systems in many countries. This is the reason why admission officers a now requesting an evaluated record from international recognized evaluators who know how to do the job so that no country or region gets undue advantage over others. Very soon it will be a compulsory requirement for all undergraduate schools. Consider many applicants from many countries of the world with various high school system. If I have a similar performance with a Chinese, we are gonna have the same GPA when converted to US system. And we will be given equal consideration in the admission process.
Thanks for understanding.

You dont have to evaluate WAEC. Mail a copy of your waec result to your school along with WAEC scratch card for the school to confirm online. That's all

This is not true for all schools, many schools now require international students to evaluate their high school record by an recognized evaluation agency, which sends a copy directly to them. Its a new requirement and many schools are now adopting the policy. I evaluated my WAEC with WES. Its a compulsory requirement if you are applying to Morgan state, Howard and many others.

titoakala:

so how do i send mywaec result to this WES and my waec is not one sitting. can i use neco? thanks for the info

WES accepts only WAEC. You have to register with WES and select a document by document evaluation, pay the necessary fees, then get your WES reference number. Go to the WAEC office nearest to you and have your WAEC result sent directly to WES. You pay WAEC for the service. WES gets your document, sends it back for verification; pending when WAEC responds to the verification request, then the evaluation will be done. It's a very long process though, takes more than a month on most cases.

titoakala:
hello guys, pls wat is the meaning of evaluated high school record, Notarized Affidavit of Support, Transfer Eligibility Form. Am applying at morgan state uni & this are part of what they are asking for

Yes for Morgan state, Evaluated High school record is your WAEC evaluated by WES or any other academic evaluators, check the website you gonna see the agencies they recommend. They gona convert your WAEC to a GPA scale of 4.0 as used in US high schools.
For Notarized Affidavit of support, you have to get your sponsor write for you an affidavit of support or sponsorship and have it notarized at a public notary, then attach a bank statement with the minimum amt in $ as shown in the website.
Transfer eligibility form is for transfer students and can be got from the school, you can request more details on this from the university. If you are a transfer student, then they shouldn't request for evaluated high school record, that is for only freshmen (who has never taken any college level course).
As a transfer student, you just need your transcripts to transfer your courses.

Please anyone in Morgan State University, Baltimore, should let me know, or if you know anyone there please. I need some info

@Michelleflores.

If you have the strength for a legal battle, I encourage you to make a lawsuit. If the agent is a registered business under the cooperate affairs commission, they must be forced to repay, so long as you have all the evidence of payment and other documentation. and the biz can even be closed down. Using a stolen card to operate, I wonder how many people they have done this to. I know you must have invested heavily in the course of this endeavor.

These agents are causing a lot of harm than good.
no wonder embassy call them touts...

Michelleflores:
I used an agent to gain admission to a Sch in America, South Dakota state university brookings, I paid the agent and he toook care of everything, including the courier service, for sending the i20 to nigeria, I was offered admission for jan 2017, I went for the interview myself, and I was granted the visa, then I left for the U.S in December, on arrival in New York, I was told at the airport that my sevis was cancelled, I was shocked. the homeland security called the school to ask why, he was told that the agent paid the dhl fee with a credit card that wasn't his, so the owner of the credit card reported to the Sch, therefore they cancelled my admission. The officer asked if I could be let In so I can sort it out in Sch but they refused, so i was adviced to withdraw my application voluntarily and go get admission from another Sch and another visa, but there was no ban, I was sent back home. I have just recovered from it all now thinking on how to remedy my situation, till I stumbled on this page, now my problem is, I don't know whether to go right ahead and get another admission and go for another visa interview or to write a letter to the embassy in Nigeria explaining what happened, cos my visa was for two years, I need help guys.

This agent/tout has to be sued and should repay all that you invested in this endeavor. He used a stolen card. A great offence. Your Visa is now invalid because your SEVIS was terminated and you withdrew your application [visa] for entry. Student visa is a spectacular type of visa. You will need to start afresh and appear for a new interview. It's a pity dear. Goodluck

If your layover is more long, I'm sure Emirates would lodge you in an hotel and you'd be given a 3 month visa in Dubai.
If you're not leaving the airport, you don't need a transit visa

Thanks a lot

LagosismyHome:


Yes you dont need transit visa for UAE as long as you dont come out ........... however in UAE, as long as you have a connecting flight with 96 hours, you can get the transit visa at the airport , incase you want to come out and spend some days in Dubai . It is not free sha, you pay for the transit visa

Thanks a lot

LagosismyHome:


No i am guessing or more like i imagined that u dont need transit visa ... lol

Please does it also apply for UAE. LOS -DXB-JFK via Emirates. Hope transit visa is not needed to pass through Dubai?

femi321:
Well the trust issue is not a 1 way thing as you made it seemed, its a 2 way thing..The person sending Naira too is as skeptical as you are of not being scammed...Its just about trusting each other.

Yes, whether you are the one sending the dollar, or the one receiving the naira, both people face a similar faith. In this situation, we are equal because the money involved is valued equal. What if I send my naira and at the end didn't receive your dollar? There has to be a mutual trust for the deal to be sealed.

How can you be in need of naira, and you ask me to send my naira first before sending your dollar. No, I wont. You are the one in need at the moment, so you make the move first. Anyway it's a matter of mutual trust as I said.

kokoboy4life:
Good day to everyone, I have made my payment to Wes and they have received my documents but I got mail from them yesterday stating my transcript have been sent back to my issuing school for verification that work will commence on my transcript when they get response from the school. I want to know maybe there's someone on here that have had such experience with them before or it's a Normal procedure.

It is very normal. WES can never evaluate your transcript without its verification from the issuing institution. To expedite the process, go to your school and keep in touch with them, informing them the recent devt.
After the verification, WES will continue with the evaluation.

Most times I wish the likes of Bigfrancis21 are still active in this thread. They were really helpful then.

TWoods:


Your post is no different from the very thing you claim to be caterwauling about.

I frankly don't take 95% of the folks here seriously at all. What i see here aren't students, but economic migrants looking for any means possible to run away from Nigeria. School just happens to be the easy route for now. So not surprising, people tend to lash out when you make a comment. Its mostly out of desperation... you're simply on that side because you're in the same boat. Simple. Nigerians are not used to people being blunt with them... we are a nation of sickening sycophants, even when we are in the wrong, we still expect people to "respect" us, hail us, kiss our feet and baby us. Its why James Ibori is getting a heroes welcome in his hometown today. Good luck.

What are you still doing in the states? You should have returned home to contribute to Nigeria after your studies if you are not an Economic Migrant.
People deceiving People.
