well said,

in naija environment, people dont really regard you as being an achiever if you dont have a degree,

its true that your degree might not determine how successful you become,

come to think of it , why do you think Bill Gates or the other guy from oracle made an attempt at getting a college degree only to drop out because they were learning nothing new ?

hahahahahahahahahaha, we suppose punish the guy then!
Romance / Re: Should I Let Her Be by sayhi2ay(m): 3:53pm On Jul 09, 2008
his story doesnt add up just yet, if they almost had sex, and the girl wanted it but thought against it , no reason to be mad afterwards, else why would she still be mad ?
Romance / Re: Should I Let Her Be by sayhi2ay(m): 3:14pm On Jul 09, 2008
maybe the guy was trying to force his* way, why would she still be annoyed ? memories maybe,

US schools have so many applicants from around the world, they dont really need fairs to market their institutions,
Education / Re: Expulsion Scandal Rocks Covenant University: 120 Students Expelled by sayhi2ay(m): 3:50pm On Jul 08, 2008
I really do not blame the school but the government we have, if they had created good environment where people dont have to be too dependent on school or getting BSc to survive, schools would be begging to admit students,
bill gates is a college drop out, he didnt drop out cos he didnt have money to pay or because he was dull, he dropped out cos he was learning nothing new, but if the environment doesnt accommodate for prosperity in the absence of education, would he dare drop out ?
let the government pls do something to youth empowerment,
Education / Re: Preparing For Gmat And Graduate School in The US by sayhi2ay(m): 3:40pm On Jun 24, 2008
for masters, the minimum GPA some schools require is 2.7 or 2.8 based on 4.0 scale, not sure,

2.8 on 4.0 scale is about 3.05 on 5.0 scale, dont knowhow to really do the math,
Education / Re: Preparing For Gmat And Graduate School in The US by sayhi2ay(m): 4:12pm On Jun 07, 2008
forgot to mention, just go for MS in Computer Science, you can then take classes in Software engineering, you want to be flexible in the career program you choose,

am taking MS Computer Science myself, i took software engineering classes, networking classes, database classes, wanna take some computer design classes right now,

Though you have spoken English all your life, since English is not considered your first language, ALMOST all the schools in US won't give you an admission without seeing your TOEFL grade.
Also, even if they consider you have spoken English all your life and they see you took English on your transcript and waive this requirement and give you admission, you will have slight challenge convincing the consul officer for your visa, 2 of my friends got admission without TOEFL score (MBA program), they were refused visa by the consul because they didnt write the TOEFL exam even after showing admission letter, payment and all that, this happened March, 2008. So you see why its best for you to write the exam, plus the exam is not difficult at all, i studied for it in 2 days, and passed it well.
Not that the consul doesn't know Nigerians speak English, they want to be convinced that you can interact with your teachers and fellow students when you get to the US. This is true as I had problems asking questions in class when I first got here, most of the professors here are Chinese, they barely understand our Queen's English, so if i ask questions in class, i get to repeat myself about 4 times and sometime get frustrated that i don't ask at all.

(2) I dont know what you mean by 10k dollars, tuition is been paid per quarter here, as an international student, your tuition regardless of ANY school you choose wont be less than $6000 per semester. and you get to spend at least 4 semesters for the whole program.
Let me break it down a little so you can understand better:
For MS in Computer Science or any other degree, you are expected to take 12 courses in all ( for the whole program).

Now you are expected to take 2 or 3 classes per semester,

so which means if you take 2 classes per semester, you spend 6 semesters for your program ( 2 classes X 6 semesters = 12 courses)
if you take 3 classes per semester, you spend 4 semesters for your program (3 classes X 4 semesters = 12 courses).

so as not to confuse you,

if you take 3 classes per semester, you get to pay $6000, so 6000 X 4 semesters = $24000 for the whole program.
if you take 2 classes per semester, you get to pay $4000, so 4000X 6 semesters = $24000 for the whole program,

this is just to explain whether you take 2 classes or 3 classes, the total tuition is still the same thing,


the semester or usually referred to as"quarter" are Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall,


It is most advisable to take 2 classes per quarter/semester cos the work load here is plenty especially if you are taking MSc, and pass mark starts from 80/100, if you get below 80 in 3 classes, you will be kicked out of the program. Not to scare you though, they teach you well for you to score above the pass mark, lol

and also another advice, when you get to your school, ask around for the professors to avoid and the ones to register for their class, if you pick a professor that you wont understand is English, then Lord help you,

let me know if you or anyone else needs more clarification.


Ay.

i paid 25k to register for mine, if you have someone in the US, the person can help you register for 20k or less,

remember, the most important thing is for you to practice, dont read the textbooks and just go for exams, after you are done reading, practice like 1wk non stop,
Education / Re: Preparing For Gmat And Graduate School in The US by sayhi2ay(m): 3:17pm On Jun 04, 2008
hey! make sure you register at a centre where they will allow you to use calculator, you will need it, trust me
Education / Re: Preparing For Gmat And Graduate School in The US by sayhi2ay(m): 2:43pm On Jun 04, 2008
if most of your reading will be done on the weekends, maybe 2 months,

depends on your vocab skills,

you really have to practice hard and regularly so you dont forget the formulas in the maths section,

you can get Barron and Kaplan textbook,

(you can use the week to learn the english vocabs, and the weekends for the maths), you should do well,

Education / Re: Preparing For Gmat And Graduate School in The US by sayhi2ay(m): 2:33pm On May 20, 2008
Prosit, if you really wanna get value for your money, US school is the best, I have friends taking MBA in US and UK, no basis for comparison at all,

coming to a US school would be worth your time and money, trust me on that,

since LBS is rated top 50 in the world, the visa consul might see no reason for you to travel abroad for your MBA, just thinking aloud though,

you may wanna go in for a course that's not too common, very easy to switch once you get here,

good job bro,
Education / Re: Preparing For Gmat And Graduate School in The US by sayhi2ay(m): 6:16pm On Apr 30, 2008
some schools do not require TOEFL exams to gain MBA admission, but you will need it for your visa interview,

like i posted in this forum sometime ago, 3 of my friends got an MBA admission WITHOUT TOEFL and GMAT but were refused visa cos they didnt have TOEFL score even after I-20 was shown to the consul, oh! you wouldn't get an interview date anyways without them confirming your I-20 first.

This happened March,2008

I remember the guy donating 10million naira to the school of engineering, OOU in year 2000.
the fact that such news doesn't get to the media doesnt meant he doesnt give out money

if you want to write a Statement of Purpose, dont go about copying from the net or ones you got from the search engine,

pips in the US have crazy software for checking this, its an automatic disqualification, plagiarism is a serious issue in US

na true o!

what will you do when you eventually catch him ?

I say give me the benefit of doubt, except if you really know he could have done such,

best bet is let the matter be until you get a SUBSTANTIAL proof
Travel / Re: International Drivers Licence by sayhi2ay(m): 7:42pm On Apr 18, 2008
you will get the license at the police station beside immigration office in ikoyi, have forgotten the name,

you need your naija license, 2 passport photo and 5k, then it will be ready in 2 hours if you can put some extra change to settle,


why you might need the naija license when you travel out is, if you wanna get a license in the country you traveled to, you might not need to take driving test if you show your international license and naija license, so fro example in the US, you just have to take the exam, and wont take the road test
Romance / Re: Who Suld I Go For? My First Or My Second Girl by sayhi2ay(m): 7:04pm On Apr 18, 2008
well, there must be a reason why you are contemplating on going back to the first girl, or you are just considering it cos she is begging you back?

if she dumps you the first time, how can you tell she wont dump you another time? since she knows if she comes begging, you'd surely accept her back,

more reason for her to cheat on you, she will generally exploit that weakness
Romance / Re: Who Suld I Go For? My First Or My Second Girl by sayhi2ay(m): 6:56pm On Apr 18, 2008
well, it depends what your first girl did in the first instance, did she cheat on you or something similar, or she wasnt just caring?

do you love the second girl? as you just mentioned that she is the one in love with you ,


let me know, then we can go from there
Romance / Re: Evidence Of Cheating Or Not? by sayhi2ay(m): 6:54pm On Apr 18, 2008
some people cant stand the "waiting to catch him" game especially when it comes to someone they really love, i wouldn't blame the poster,
she probably couldn't stand the thought and thot to confront her hubby,

why do ladies expect to hear the truth from men i dont know,

I was chatting with a lady, she said one day, she forgot something at home and went to get it during lunch break, she met her hubby shaggin another woman inside the house, since that day, she doesn't go home unannounced whenever she forgets something or its impromptu,
