Education / Fareedah Oyolola Emerges World Brightest Student (Johns Hopkins Center) by KingOdart(m): 7:23am On Aug 21, 2021
The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth has honoured Fareedah Oyolola, a secondary school student at Greensprings School, Lagos, as one of the brightest students in the world.

This recognition is a result of her exceptional performance in the advanced School and College Ability Test (SCAT), which every student must undergo in order for the institution to determine their current academic abilities before admitting them into its talent search programme.

Sharing her experience about the test, Fareedah said: “The test was a multiple-choice aptitude test in verbal and quantitative reasoning, and I had to answer 100 questions within 44 minutes! At the end of the test, my score was in the 92nd percentile for verbal reasoning and 87th percentile for quantitative reasoning.

There’s no way I would have gotten these high scores with such a limited time window if not for the great work put in by my teachers, towards developing my comprehension abilities and mathematical reasoning skills. I am very grateful to them.”

In a statement issued by the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, the Executive Director; virginia Roach, congratulated Fareedah and other outstanding students across the world. She said, “We are thrilled to celebrate these students. In a year that was anything but ordinary, their love of learning shined through, and we are excited to help cultivate their growth as scholars and citizens throughout high school, college, and beyond.”

Mrs Magdalene Okrikri, the secondary school principal at Greensprings Anthony campus, also expressed her satisfaction with Fareedah’s honour. She said, “This honour brings great joy to my heart. Fareedah’s achievement is a testament that our Thinking School programme is rewarding to our students, helping them to develop mentally and strengthening their cognitive abilities.”

The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth is an initiative of Johns Hopkins University committed to nurturing extraordinary young minds. Its 2020 – 2021 programme draws nearly 19,000 students from 84 countries. Fareedah and other honourees from other countries are expected to attend a summer programme in the United States or Hong Kong

Education / Re: 2.0 GPA Colleges: A List Of Colleges Accepting Low CGPA by opeey(m): 8:33pm On Aug 14, 2021
FirstAris:
There are multiple colleges out there that are ready to accept students with 2.2 Grade Point Average (GPA)s scores or even lower. So, if you happen to fall under this category of students, don’t fret at all. There’s a college out there willing to accept you, even better is the news that they’re lots of them.

Before now, students who had a 2.2 GPA score or lower always had to fear because of the hindrance it might cause in their admission into higher institutions to have quality education and therefore consequently affecting their future. Now things have greatly changed and those days are gone as anyone with a 2.2GPA or lower can still get quality education all thanks to the evolving culture of these institutions we’re going to be listing today.

Also, it is vital to state that no matter the GPA scores you have currently, there is a huge possibility of getting admitted into lots of institutions and more so to study your dream course if you have the right information and use it adequately. In a country like America, the GPA is a vitally important prerequisite that is of utmost importance to the admissions committee considered by most of the admission committee as far as admitting a student is concerned. The United States of America’s method for calculating students’ GPA scores is on a scale of 4.

Tips on how to Gain Admission into 2.0 GPA Colleges
There are lots of ways to increase your chances and eventually gaining admission into 2.2 GPA colleges, and below are the tips:

Outline Your Strengths
You have graduated with a grade point average that isn’t all that outstanding to the admissions officer of your choice institution if we are been realistic. but there are other qualities you may have that could make you a priority on the list of your choice institution. All institutions use different criteria to judge applicants be it postgraduate or undergraduate. some of those criteria are volunteer work, part-time jobs, community service, and many others.

Holistic Admissions
More often than not, institutions tend to examine applications as a package deal. This infers that they could pick other factors to supplement your grade score. Some of those factors often considered are years of work experience, your references, and essays, which brings us to the next point.

An essay or Personal Statement
Your personal statement could be crafted into becoming an emotional, positive, or even creative to tell your unique story, and this is because we are at a time where most institutions, find creative means to really know the individual behind that GPA. This is the time to discuss that specific reason for graduating with a low GPA If you have one.

High-Standard Letter of Recommendation
This is an often underrated yet equally essential part of gaining admissions with a low GPA, your reference and recommendation letters often give you the chance to put on display those qualities that couldn’t be seen just by a mere glance at your GPA. For most people, this usually emanates from their teachers in high school detailing how they’ve progressed as both individuals and as students.

Using Conditional Acceptance
In this instant, although your grades didn’t meet the minimum requirement for you to be given full acceptance, yet you would be given admission but solely on some conditions like you must exceed a specific GPA, or possess a specific number of credits in every semester.

More often than not, institutions tend to examine applications as a package deal. This infers that they could pick other factors to supplement your grade score. Some of those factors often considered are years of work experience, your references, and essays, which brings us to the next point.

An essay or Personal Statement
Your personal statement could be crafted into becoming an emotional, positive, or even creative to tell your unique story, and this is because we are at a time where most institutions, find creative means to really know the individual behind that GPA. This is the time to discuss that specific reason for graduating with a low GPA If you have one.

High-Standard Letter of Recommendation
This is an often underrated yet equally essential part of gaining admissions with a low GPA, your reference and recommendation letters often give you the chance to put on display those qualities that couldn’t be seen just by a mere glance at your GPA. For most people, this usually emanates from their teachers in high school detailing how they’ve progressed as both individuals and as students.

Using Conditional Acceptance
In this instant, although your grades didn’t meet the minimum requirement for you to be given full acceptance, yet you would be given admission but solely on some conditions like you must exceed a specific GPA, or possess a specific number of credits in every semester.

Education / In-text Citation In APA Format In A Research Project by Divinwac(m): 1:54pm On Jul 06, 2021
The author-date system of citation is used in the APA in-text citation. This indicates that the author's last name and the year of publication must be cited in the text, separated by a comma. In some occasions, the page number should be referenced as well, although in most cases, the page number does not appear in the text citation. The in-text citation is used to eliminate the disruption of flow that occurs when the source is checked at the conclusion of the manuscript for any undergraduate research project Ideas. There should also be a reference list entry for EACH in-text citation.

In-text APA citation guidelines
In the APA style, there are a few basic principles to follow when citing sources in the text. Though it may appear that citing merely the author's last name and the year of publication is straightforward, there are few instances where this is not the case. Different types of sources necessitate different treatments. The researcher must be familiar with the APA in-text citation guidelines for various sources.
In the APA in-text citation, there are two aspects to consider: the signal phrase and the parenthetical citation. In the signal phrase, the researcher can include the author's last name and the publication date. The author and date should appear in parenthesis if he does not cite the author-date in the signal phrase.

1. The first requirement is to use parenthesis in the text to indicate the author's last name and the year of publication. A comma should be included between the author's name and the year of publication.
For instance: “According to Drury (2020), there are a variety of reasons for stillbirths, as well as a variety of personal, cultural, and social elements to consider”.

2. In the case of a direct quotation, the page number should also be included in the in-text citation.
For instance, according to Olayinka (2014), “the number of high school dropouts in virginia has decreased since 2000.” (p.60).

3. When there are numerous authors for a source, you must list them all by last name and separate the last two with an ampersand "&."

4. If the source does not list an author but does list an editor, use the editor's last name in the parenthetical citation.

5. When the author's identity is unknown, the title and date must be included in the in-text citation. If the title is too long, you can just write the first few words of it.


6. When citing numerous works in one location, use a semicolon to separate each citation, for example, there have been studies that show that excessive screen time affects children's psychological development in later years (Okoro, 2020; Adams, 2015).

With a mom in the military, she grew up all over the world: the Virgin Islands, Germany, virginia. With her striking blue eyes, freckles, and curly hair, she was often asked to model, but, she says, “I just blew it off.” Until last summer, that is, when photographer Hugh Morris tapped her for a shoot featuring freckled people of color. Though she’s a full-time student at St. John’s University, majoring in biology, she is now pursuing modeling in a serious way. And thankfully, her freckles have been seen as an asset, not an imperfection: “No one’s ever tried to cover them,” she says proudly.

Education / Insurance Agency Franchise by superiorinsuran: 2:19pm On Jun 07, 2021
Running a franchise is pretty much like owning a structured business. A franchisor who is the owner of an enterprise gives a third party permission to run a commercial franchise or an extension of the franchisor’s enterprise. The franchisee uses the franchisor’s business identity and systems for a mutually agreed time and a fee. Out of all the insurance franchise opportunities, owning an insurance franchise agency is a profitable option. It offers a safe and tried business model that you can rely upon. The franchisor helps in setting up everything, connecting with customers, training staff, and making sure that the business is running smoothly.

Education / Nigerian Teen Gets 19 Scholarship Offers Worth More Than $5 Million From The US by InspirareBlog(m): 6:08pm On May 01, 2021
One Nigerian teenager must feel like she has the world at her feet after receiving 19 full-ride scholarship offers from universities across the United States and Canada.
Victory Yinka-Banjo, a 17-year-old high school graduate, was offered more than $5 million dollars' worth of scholarship money for an undergraduate program of study, according to admission documents and estimates of financial aid awards.

"It still feels pretty unbelievable. I applied to so many schools because I didn't even think any school would accept me," Victory told CNN, relishing her academic prowess.

Born to Nigerian parents, Chika Yinka-Banjo, a senior lecturer at the University of Lagos, and Adeyinka Banjo, a private sector procurement and supply chain executive, Victory was given potential full scholarships from the Ivy League schools, Yale College, Princeton University, Harvard College, and Brown University.

The teenager told CNN that her multiple scholarship offers "have made me stand taller, smile wider, and pat myself on the back more often."

Other US scholarship offers included those from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University and the University of virginia.

In Canada, Victory was offered the Lester B. Pearson scholarship from the University of Toronto and the Karen McKellin International Leader of Tomorrow (KMILOT) scholarship from the University of British Columbia.

"Their admissions processes are extremely selective," Victory added. "They only accept the best of the best. So, you can imagine how, on a daily basis, I have to remind myself that I actually got into these schools. It is surreal!"

Academic strides

A senior prefect during her time in high school, Victory rose to national prominence in late 2020 after she scored straight As in her West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

Months earlier, the Nigerian teen had been rated as the "Top in the World" in English as a second language (speaking endorsement) by the University of Cambridge International Examination (CIE). Victory aced the Cambridge IGCSE exam -- acquiring A* in all six subjects she sat for.

Victory told CNN her remarkable achievements are borne out of hard work.

"They have made me truly feel proud about the hard work I have put into several areas of my life over the years. I am slowly beginning to realize that I deserve them," she said.

The teenager remarked that her multiple scholarship offers "have made me stand taller, smile wider, and pat myself on the back more often."

Victory said she hopes to study Computational Biology. However, she is still weighing up her options on which school to choose, having been wooed by many prestigious institutions.



"It is noteworthy that she is not one of the Nigerian-Americans who often get into these schools because of their advantage of being born and bred in the US. She completed her secondary school here [in Nigeria]. It would be great if her story can be used to inspire the youths of our country," she told CNN.

Victory credits her academic success story to faith, parental guidance and discipline. She currently spends some of her free time tutoring other university admission seekers -- through the radio -- on key subjects such as math, English language, biology, chemistry and physics

Education / Nigeria Teen Gets 19 Abroad Scholarship Offers With Straight As. by Zetra7: 5:46am On May 01, 2021
Last week I wrote about what combined effort of Igbos and yourbas can bring to the table, I wrote about thinking ahead as a nation and consider if it's best to have 2 separate nations who can compete for excellence..
Precisely, I wrote about Republic of Southern Nigeria and Islmaic state of Northern Nigeria.
Unfortunately , my topic was removed by mods despite an educational argument going on.(Thought a platform like this will advance intelligence arguments not tribal Ewars)

Anyway before it was removed, the Main burner was if yourbas can work with igbosand I maintained that this E-war is not taken seriously by learned Igbos and yourbas who understand the strengthnand weakness of each other and know each can benefit heavily with combined effort. I mentioned entertainment, business, academics , sports and even marriages where the combined effort of both tribes have brought success.

Today I bring a story of a teen product of Yourba and Igbo blood. I hope it helps to cease extreme views.

"They have made me truly feel proud about the hard work I have put into several areas of my life over the years. I am slowly beginning to realize that I deserve them," she said.

The teenager remarked that her multiple scholarship offers "have made me stand taller, smile wider, and pat myself on the back more often."

Victory said she hopes to study Computational Biology. However, she is still weighing up her options on which school to choose, having been wooed by many prestigious institutions.

"I am still doing research on some schools that are at the top of my list, like Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Duke, Johns Hopkins, and just trying to compare and contrast all of them thoroughly," she told CNN.
