Please anyone here studying in Wingate University?

I often apply for Scholarships,so yesterday,I recieved a congratulations email that based on my achievements, I've been offered a $27,000 worth scholarship in Wingate University.

I have some questions;

1. How valid is the school and scholarship,who knows about that or who can help with that?

2. In the email, it's said that I'd pay $300 as enrollment deposit,is that how it's done?

Please I need your words.

Quick one. You were not offered a scholarship. All they are saying is you qualify to apply for a scholarship. In other words apply for it, if you lucky you may get some $$$ if not try again another year.

please I need your honest opinion and corrections on this 🙏

Hi, I feel like you could rephrased your answers a little better. 1st, does a promotion really hinge on the probability of you getting an international degree? I don’t think so and probably VO can call BS on that. I know you probably prepared your speech on home ties or why you wanna study in the us as against Nigeria, but I believe you were to quick to answer without even being asked. My take will be:

1- simply answer VO questions, and not questions you are not asked. It’s okay to expand but stay on the same path.

2- Rephrase your punch line of your promotion needing an international degree, I smell BS on that.

3- Head of operation to manager a new project? So the project will be on pause for two years while you study and come back to continue?

4- something along the lines of: I am the Head of Operations in xyz, a people leader role that will highlight my technical skills especially in project management, and building/executing project roadmaps, I intend studying abc in xyc to gain technical skills and hands on experience (add your own line and how it transfer to your work)

5- you have two careers? you mention two careers in your transcript

6- lastly your can scarp the staff strength path of your husband medical practice.

Just my two cent.

Thanks,

Hi guys,
What's the job situation for animal science or crop science graduates in US after MSc?

You can be in any tech field you want to be, providing you have the skill + experience. But if you asking what opportunity your this degree can potential do you you? None. (Especially without papers).

Anyone?

Hey Nairalanders,

Anyone in Dallas, Texas already or looking to move/ relocate? Let’s connect.

Ok

Observations:

1) you are so quick to elaborate on the first question. so you are going to Bleep county but did not provide more details in an arguably more important question, source of your sponsors wealth. What type of business? And how is being a pastor a source of wealth? (Well I know it is but not everyone understands it that way).

2) Your point on why you wanna study in the US? Could also hold true if you study in Nigeria or any other country. You will still harness the skills and knowledge of the vast experience of the lecturers, so why is US special enough to spend $Bleep on your degree?

3) On her last question, she leaned closer to hear you clearly, do you think she did that because she was finding it difficult to understand your Barry tone voice? Maybe there is a disconnect between what you saying and what she think she's hearing?

My thought:

1) I know nothing:
2) They are in our land and the ones with an accent not us, it's okay to talk the way you do, not necessary to fake an accent or fine tune.
3) Elaborate more on your uncle source of income, and get a unique answer to why study in the US. I'm sure she has heard the same answer a million times already.
4) I understand the humor in your post but the insult a little bit too much?
5) Try again, 3rd time will be the charm.

Thanks,

Omoooooooooooooooooo

My visa got rejected o, at the Abuja embassy, the VO was a lady one whitish thing like that. She had a bright smile and fine face but na snake.

Our convo goes thus:

VO : Hi good morning

ME: GOOD MORNING how are you doing (me trying to use my Barry tone voice)

VO: Very fine thank you, Can I see your documents ( I hand over i20 and passport).

VO: So you are going to Wayne County Community college DISTRICT.

ME: Yes I am, I got admitted to study business administration and management on a 2 year associate degree program. ( see how detailed I was)

VO: Who is your sponsor

ME: My sponsor is my uncle Mr bla bla bla

VO: What does he.do for a living

ME: In my mind, He is a kidnapper (lol) he is into business and he is a pastor.

VO: Okay why do you want to study in the USA..

ME: Ghen ghen (Omoooooooooooooooooo again)
I intend to study in the USA to harness the skills and knowledge the vast experience of the lecturers of this great college would impact in me and use my learned skill and degree to use it to work back here in Nigeria at the end of my program. Chikena

All this time she was nodding her head in some form of agreement...

VO: Okay what do you do for a living

ME: Again in my mind (I am a drug peddler) oloshi
I work as dis and dat at my uncles company, now I noticed when she asked this question she leaned towards the glass to kind of like hear me well, like she wanted to get a kiss or something. Me too leaned forward almost closed my eyes that I was about to break the record of the first Nigerian guy to kiss a consulate during interview and get accepted (lol)

Omo na so this white babe type type type, like 30 seconds me I was already happy small small that at least this time my interview lasted a little longer than the previous one, (that first one ehn na 20.secs I swear)

Omo.next thing wey I hear na say, sorry I can't grant your visa as there hasn't been much changes since your last application, This was 7 months ago (I think the reason they put glass between the VO and us is that incase we wan tear them slap). I was looking like a flying fish, just turned around said thank you and left.

My observation is that
1. That Abuja consular is less crowded compared to Lagos.
2. The whole process is well organised
3. The visa officers are more patient compared to Lagos ones.
4. But na oloshi be American embassy, they waste your time and efforts.

Ok
