StUriah:
Some girls are too possessive in their relationship with the guys they think should love them by fire by force. Their overbearing attitude is very repulsive. They think it is their fundamental rights to own you even if you hadn't had sex with them.

I was in a situation like this sometimes back. We were just friends, and have not even engaged in any form of toasting not to talk of smooching, kissing, et cetera. Before I realized the situation, she had already be forming 'the official First Lady'. Even my friends have started avoiding me whenever she's around. At a point, she was checking my phone every now and then, and even querying me if i chat with any of my female friends.Thank God I didn't touch the beast. She would have unleash a dragon on my enemies.

I was in similar circumstances most recently. Difference is we made out couple of times. Lol.

I felt I was in a cage, she was just scaring every body away. I didn’t have peace of mind, female friends or freedom to breathe.

Can’t even call a female friend to gist cos the lady will act drama. Everyday, same story despite sounding it out that we can’t date.


Tough times

Hello, congrats on your acceptance to ETSU.

I've applied for my MSc at East Tennessee State as well but upon payment of application fee my GTbank MasterCard wasn't accepted.
I'd like to know how you paid for your application fee please. Did you use a Naira card to pay?

Thanks.

Someone outside the country helped me pay for my application fees.

You could check barter by flutterwave. They have a virtual card you can use for payments

MALIGNANTGuest:

Go to a Good & Listening Nigerian Hospital, tell the PHYSICIANS to also consider infection called PASTEURELLA MULTOCIDA,
FRANCISELLA TULAREMIA, that's if you ever played with animals especially cats.
That presentation is also suggestive of these.

Do you think it could be Cutaneous anthrax or Sporotrichosis.
Rule out Buruli ulcer

I don't know if you can see this, but you should rush to a teaching hospital man.

You could lose the arm.

It looks like Sporotrichosis (which is a fungal infection) but could be a cutaneous anthrax.

Greetings.

Please is anyone going to East Tennessee state university for this Fall. I'm trying to connect with people, get roommates and travel buddies.

Please send me a DM if you are.


Thanks

@Walspring ,thanks you so much for helping me pay my SEVIS fee.

Less than 2 hours, I got an email and I confirmed payment.

I appreciate you, and I can categorically say that he is legit.

Everything these days must be shown on social media.

Things are changing
Times are changing.

I did document by document evaluation from WES canada, how do i convert this to ICAP course by course evaluation, Wes customer support is taking ages to respond to me.

I'm not very sure, but If you login, there should be a space for UPGRADE REPORT.
Try seeing if you can follow the prompt to upgrade to Wes ICAP.

Yoi could also reach out to them via DM on Twitter @wescanada.
They're pretty responsive.

All the best

Chimma5:
Good day experts !
Please I have my Wes reference number now . please how do I do it from here. What is the procedure?Thanks!

That's the first step in obtaining your Wes evaluation.
Did you pay for the WES ICAP COURSE BY COURSE EVALUATION?

After obtaining your reference number,
1) print the transcript request form they'll send to you and proceed to your university/college/polytechnic/college of education.
NB: ensure all your documents to be sent to Wes has the reference number written on them

2) go to exams and records and request for transcript to be sent to Wes.
(this will depend on your school). You may have to pay for courier service, transcript request and all that.
Ask fellow alumni.

3) if you have obtained your degree certificate, kindly upload it on WES page.
You'll see a tab for required documents.
You can only upload degree certificate while your transcript must be sent to them physically.

4) after they receive your transcript and confirm, they'll send back to your school (now electronically) for secondary verification.
Depending on your school, you may pay. And time frame varies greatly too.

5) after secondary verification, your status will change to.

"We're are processing your final evaluation, estimated date of completion is blablabla".

Hope I tried to answer your question.

All the best

To those sending me PM's, I always reply but you don't respond again.

I don't know why it is so. If you need something, show some level of seriousness in it..

Thanks people

I can see the surgery textbook at the back. Lol.

Make Nigeria great again.

We all have roles to play in the rise of Nigeria to Greatness, as do the government.

Nigeria - Good people, Great Nation

You're doing well


E shock you.

AlphaMaximus:
Evening house. I took the GRE recently and I had 329/340: 164Q (83rd percentile), 165V (96th percentile) and 4.5/6.0 AWA (80th percentile). My TOEFL score is 110/120. For my undergrad, I studied Petroleum and Gas Engineering at The University of Lagos and my CGPA is 4.67/5.00. Amongst other schools, I am keen on applying to the MS program in Petroleum Engineering at Stanford University, but I wonder whether my Quant score is on the competitive side. I'll appreciate your thoughts in this regard. Thanks.

You have a nice profile, though the Quant may be in the lower 50th percent of admitted candidates at Stanford, still, It's as stellar as it gets. Also apply to other schools.

Mind if I may ask if you've done your NACES/WES EVALUATION?

Deadlines are fast approaching, so, you should race against time to meet deadlines.

phillipa92:

I am the daughter ohh!

Good morning, everyone. Thanks for the transcripts, advice, and encouragement here. You were extremely helpful. God bless you all.
-

I think I got there at some minutes to 6. There was a crowd already. I had to register my bag for N2,000. Then, I learned that I was not with the correct copy of one payment receipt (the one paid to GT). They said that I needed something with a CGI logo.

A guy there showed me a sample of the correct document. Then, he said it would cost N10,000 to log in and print it. I didn't know when I told him he was wicked. Lol!

After bantering small, I started speaking pidgin/Igbo. I told them not to look at my clothes or smell my perfume, that I'm from the streets, and we're all here to hustle. All na packaging. Lol.

We later agreed on N4,000 for printing that paper and photocopying my passport data page. Photocopying costs N1000. If I hadn't argued, I would have paid N11,000 to print a sheet and photocopy a page.

I only agreed because I knew time was far spent. If you have time to argue or you don't have cash, please tell them you don't have the money. They'll drop the price.


Please, everyone going should ensure they're with the correct documents. The guys there are seriously looking for how to extort money from us. Someone behind me on the line said she paid N10,000 to print something.
-

After paying the N4,000, I ran to the line. My interview was for 8 a.m, and they'd already called that set when I was sweating/haggling over the price of printing. I lined up. It wasn't time yet, but they usually check documents first.

We stayed on that line for about three hours. No seats. Please wear comfortable clothes so you won't suffer more discomfort. Also, dress decently (like, nicely).

Your documents will be checked on the line. Carry your reciprocity fee, or you'll have to start looking for that.
-

At some minutes to/past ten, five of us entered the building. (We'd been entering in groups of five.)

We kept standing inside. We submitted the GT payments to someone, then joined the line for the interviews.
-

There was this terrorist at one window. He kept grilling people, and when he got to one boy that said he's studying Creative Writing or English (I'm not sure which), the boy was there for a while. I come dey sweat because I'm also going in for Creative Writing. He was grilling STEM-inclined people, and now, an art-based person was almost sleeping at his window. Jump and pass, na my prayer.

I started praying specifically to be sent to a friendly VO on the left (Window 10, I think). He occasionally asked people to stop sounding like robots, but from his demeanor, I could see that he was nice. Plus, people spent less time at his window.

Please try not to recite what you read online word-for-word. It shows when you're repeating it. Just pick valid points and mention them. Be confident.

Someone said you should smile (even behind your mask). I agree. A smile in your voice shows you're not intimidated.

When I got to the front, I saw that I'd either go to Mr. Terrorist or Mr. Nice Guy. They were delivering finishing speeches to the candidates in front of them. I prayed harder for the person in front of Nice Guy to pack his things and walk fast. Immediately he did that, I raced to Nice Guy. Two seconds more from the applicant, and it would have been too late.

TRANSCRIPT:

V.O: Good morning (smile).

ME: Good morning.

V.O: Please, pass your papers.

ME: (Passes papers.)

V.O: What school will you be attending?

ME: I'll be going to Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.

V.O: (Laughs.) Not to be mistaken for University of Miami, Florida.

ME: Yes (laughs).

V.O: So, I see you're going to study Creative Writing. Why Creative Writing?

ME: Well, I'm an editor, so I understand the power of language and how stories can be a powerful tool for sharing information about and addressing issues in the society. (It was basically something like this I said).

V.O: So, you're an editor. Freelance?

ME: No. I co-founded an editing company with my mother.

V.O: What kind of editing?

ME: Fiction and creative non-fiction.

V.O: Have you published a book?

ME: (Laughs). Not yet, but I have stories and poems in literary journals.

V.O: (Smiles). Well, that has to change soon. (Taps on my 1-20, and I believe it's because he knows my final year project is going to be a book).

V.O: (Tikka Tikka Tikka on keyboard.) Are you married?

ME: No.

V.O: Do you have kids?

ME: No.

V.O: Have you ever traveled out of Nigeria?

ME: Yes, to Denmark.

V.O: (Surprised look). Denmark? That's an odd place to go. Why did you go there?

ME: Well, I gained admission into the Erasmus Mundus Journalism program. I did not get the scholarship, but since it was a subsidized program, I joined. In my second year, I was supposed to go to Swansea but could not make it due to financial issues. (NOTE: Some Erasmus programs let students school in different countries. Depending on your course, you can school in 2 to 4 universities before you're done. One school per academic year or one per semester. Something like that.)

V.O: (Nods like he could feel my pain). But I see you have a full scholarship now. (Happy smile on my behalf).

ME: (Happy smile back) Yes, I do!

V.O: Well, I'll be approving your Visa. (Story story story.) Miami University, huhn? It's a great school!

ME: I know, right! And it's public Ivy, too. (I laughed and said that because the school is on a list of public Ivy League schools. The guy slipped my passport and the yellow slip back to me. Told me to have a nice stay. I told him to enjoy the rest of his day, smiled, and ran to the reciprocity place.)

-

That's all.

The interview lasted about a minute. I was worried he'd ask complicated questions, but nothing like that. Seeing as they were grilling people doing super-complicated courses, the chit-chat for mine was just a miracle.

-

Lessons learned:

1. Carry extra cash. You never know the stuff you'd need it for.

2. Calm down. Confidence helps anywhere. Overthink it, but don't overthink it. I hope that makes sense. Overthinking will make you tense, but you still need to realize how important this is.

3. Know why you're going to study the course. Me, I just need a space to chill and write in peace while chopping life, but I gave a valid reason for why I'm going. And what I said about why I'm going down the writing path is true.

These guys have interviewed people long enough to know lying patterns and stuff. Plus, when you deal with humans, you'd learn to watch their faces and decipher speech patterns.


That's all, guys. I wish everyone going the best. Please stay safe. Also, let's just say they're happily giving out visas. Stay optimistic.

God bless you, and good luck!

(Forgive any grammatical and punctuation errors in the text. Don't use this to judge my editing skills ohh. Lol.)

CONGRATS.
Your transcript indeed mirrors your creative writing skills.
Best of luck in the states.

Omo, this GRE Quant gets tougher and tougher by the day.
Just took the test today.
Verbal - 156
Quant - 151.
It wasn't funny at all. Walked away from that hall morosely and depressed.

I'm a medical doctor, looking to apply for a masters in public health at top tier schools in the USA ��.

I might retake it, if I have the time.

Themaths:

Work as fast as you can on other questions, then come back and do it last, your exam day is at hand already.

I also realized that some questions under data analysis are cheaper than others. Some, you just have to look at the chart and make a deduction to get your answer....others, you need to sum up almost everything in the chat and subtract some and start dividing, this is after you have spent time trying to even understand you need to do this.

And lastly, practice, practice and practice. Good luck.

Thanks for the tips

I really appreciate.

Please, my exam is on Monday.
I'm having difficulty with timing on the data analysis.
How do I conserve more time? . I find that I tend get them right if I take time, but time is fleeting indeed.

Who has any tips on how to tackle it effectively.

Thanks

I wonder what the scatter plot of the reported cases in Nigeria will look like.
Statistician, we fit identify any trend at all?

A horizontal line obviously. No correlation

Jonjohnson:
Pls what could 3.48/5 be after Wes evaluation?

Try out the unofficial GPA calculator on the WES website and input your courses and grade gotten together with credit load. It will give you an ESTIMATE.

PEACE ✌️

It's called post-mortem photography.
It was common place in the early 20th century though.

Just Google it and see many more examples and weird photos taken over the years.

Aduraaola:
Please I need advice. My school (UI)
Sent my transcript

I have similar issue and below is their response

Hello, WES has resumed processing documents. We will begin uploading them into our system based on the order that they arrived in our office. We are currently processing packages received for the week of March 26- April 3, 2020. We have not reached June just yet. Please continue to monitor your account status updates. If your institution wants to send documents to us electronically, please have them contact us. Please have them submit a request via our Contact Us form below. They will use the category "Other." We will communicate with your institution to explore possibilities for digital document transmission:
http://wes.org/ca/contact-us/

Nawa oo. Covid-19 really caused a lot of drawbacks but it's all good.
Please what does your account state? Have they acknowledged receipt of your package?
When you use the tracking number, does it reflect that it's been received?
