Please I’m curious about something: can someone accept two graduate admission offers, then maybe reject the less favourable offer later on? Does anyone know anything about that?

phemorhino:
Thanks for the response
Have you been admitted?
Was it with funding?

No I haven't.

phemorhino:
Hi , please i think you were the one that applied to University of Denver? Please i just paid my application fee now, what is the next step? I have uploaded all the required documents
Can we chat outside this forum, please?

I think when school resumes your application will be reviewed.

Merry Christmas people!

Can someone start the I-20 process in January, get the I-20, pay SEVIS fee and get an appointment date by March 3rd?

Also, how long does it take for schools to process the I-20?

genius43:
Ask Tiger2020

Alright, thanks.

Hi guys.

Please who's based in Awka and has a Redmi Note 10 pro tempered glass screen and phone case in stock. Thanks.

phemorhino:
Please house, has anyone here applied for masters at University of Denver? I just realised it is a private university. The school make sense?

I applied to Denver too. MS in ICT

sbot:
Awesome.

I just did. If you do not get it, please do send to me from your end. I seem to have exhausted the dms I can send.

Appreciate you!

Seen. Replied you.

sbot:
Oh great,

Perhaps we can link up if you do not mind.

How’re you going about the scholarship thing. Got a $1,600 scholarship too which is nothing to me.
Would like to follow suite.

Also have a couple of questions for you.

Thanks.

Yea sure I don't mind. You can send a DM.

sbot:
Thanks just got an offer.

How long did it take before you got your I-20 please?

I’ve paid $100 acceptance fees.

Also, did you get any scholarships, and how long before you were notified of this?

Thanks

Hi, I've not processed my I-20 yet, still trying to see if I can get some funding first.
I was awarded a Dean's Fellowship scholarship and it was stated on my admission letter on the portal (Discover Drexel).

Quarantine is for 14 days, so you should show a plan that covers 14 days. Safest option is Airbnb (where you would inform them that you are already fully vaccinated and you would need a refund on arrival) or hotel or even your school to assist you with a quarantine plan

Hello, please I sent you a DM.

sbot:
Hello,

Please how much is their tuition? Awaiting their offer letter too.

Thanks

About 12k per quarter.

Sakasitay:
Man! That’s not sizeable, but at all at all…..

I am also waiting for Towson University’s decision. I applied for the MS Applied Information Technology (Software Engineering track).

However, in my opinion, one may benefit immensely from Drexel’s co-op program in the fifth and sixth quarters of the program.

Yea, the co-op is very attractive and promising. I actually applied for the Spring quarter in March, but I may defer to Fall because of the co-op and to buy time for myself.

Sakasitay:
Alright ma’am. Let’s connect. I have been networking with enrolled students on LinkedIn, and they said that most students in the computing faculty receive a 20 - 25 percent tuition fee discount.

Also, you could send an inquiry to cciinfo@drexel.edu

Hmmm...I got about 4% scholarship which is really small obviously. I'd probably send an inquiry.

Sakasitay:
Congrats on your admission. It’s a great feeling. Which other schools did you apply to? I missed out on UMBC because of WES long waka.

Thanks. I applied to Utah State University (accepted), ETSU, GSU, USF, University of Denver, and Drexel (accepted).
Yea I also stayed away from schools that requested for WES evaluation.

Sakasitay:
Does anyone plan to attend Drexel in the spring?

Is there anyone already enrolled at Drexel?

I would love to know the funding opportunities for students in the Faculty of Computing. I got into the MS Information Systems program.

Any form of related info would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there, me too. Woke up to their admission decision. MS Information Systems as well.

abijike5:
Thanks a lot for your response.

Hi. I also applied to University of Denver for Spring 2022 [MS in Information & Communication Technology, conc. in Project Management].
Just sent you a DM. Please check, I'd like to ask you some questions if you don't mind. Thanks.

smithval:
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

Okay, thank you.

Shaxyshaxy:
Yes, I am. Let's connect!

My story and transcript.

I applied for a masters in accounting program at East Tennessee State University in 2019 and I abandoned it at some point because they asked me for Gmat or Gre test result. In early 2020 just before Covid I paid the application fee because they kept buzzing me with reminder emails that my application isn't completed but at this time I had submitted every document required including my OND and BSc transcripts on the schools portal excluding gre and English test. In July 2020 I got an email from the school that I have been granted a waiver for gre and English test as a result of covid because they don't except any physical exam to take place. I was supposed to resume in August 2020 but before then I was offered admission with an international merit scholarship which was a partial scholarship. In order to secure the admission I was asked to fill a form to request for my I20. On this form you will indicate your marital status and also indicate who your sponsor is whether self or someone else. At the time I was single and I was 28yrs but my girlfriend was 24 and we have dating for 5 years from Uni days as we were classmates. So, at the time I had no money and I spoke to a distant uncle and he helped me with a 3 months bank statement which covered the remaining tuition after deducting the scholarship. I gave him a form sent to me by the school for him to fill as a sponsor, so he did. After all this process, i sent the request for I20 form , the bank statement and the form filled by distant uncle to the school. A week later I got my I20 showing my distant uncles fund as sponsor and my personal fund section of the I20 was zero. Unfortunately, I could not pay SEVIS fee at the time because even the US embassy in Nigeria was still observing lockdown then I deferred to Jan 2021. Approaching Nov 2020, the school by themselves sent me an updated I20 the only difference was the date for my program start date and when I am expected to finish. Few weeks later, I realised I had no money to pursue it and moreso I just got a job where I was earning in dollars in Lagos, before then I was a contract staff at PwC but I started working there in 2014 as an intern doing my IT after my OND before going for my BSc. So I often comeback during holidays to continue work part time then return to school when we resume. So I decided to defer again to Jan 2022 and I was told that's the last chance I have, after that deferment won't be allowed. In July 2021, I messaged the school on what I need to do to get a new I20 and i was told I have to start the process of requesting for it again. I reached out to my distant uncle and he said he has used the cash. I was stunned then I restrategised and spoke with my CEO and he said no issue I should let him know when I need it. On the day of my traditional marriage,just after the ceremony my mind was on my application and the school had told me I can reapply from that same day (it was just coincidental) then on my way back home I just submitted everything again, bank statement (this time around my personal bank statement and my CEO) and I indicated that I am married. Few weeks later in September I got two i20s for my wife and I. Surprisingly, my distant uncles name was still there as my sponsor and not my CEO what I now noticed was that they added my personal money to the CEOs money and put it as my personal fund on my i20. I was really confused but I sha left it that way and I told myself I have to defend this at the embassy that I really have this funds. So I sent money to my friend in the US to pay for my SEVIS fee then 3 business days after paying, I paid for visa fee for my wife and I. Then I went ahead to fill the DS160 form for my wife and I. Filled the form myself an agent I told me to bring 15k, but I did myself. After filling the form I tried scheduling an interview but I was given August 2022 as the earliest appointment date, I chose it like that even though my program is starting in Jan 2022. Then after choosing the date I got a prompt that I can apply for emergency date so I filled the emergency request form and attached my I20 as support document and also explained why I needed an emergency date. While I was doing all of these I had someone lined up to help me with proof of fund for UK and i was about to pay 1 million naira to borrow 20 million for 30 days as I have also gotten admission in several UK schools against Jan 2022 just as a back up for US. The few weeks later after applying for the emergency date I September 2021 I got an email from the embassy given us October 15, 2021 as interview date in lagos, same agent had told me to bring 150k each for my wife and I to get interview date for the US embassy.

1. Disable Bluetooth and WiFi Scanning it is a battery drainer.

2. Your network is not that all good.

3. There is app constantly keeping your phone awake which will be difficult to trace since I can't tell when it started.

4. Before will talk of downloading full ROM. I will suggest that you backup your files and restore your phone and try an OTA UPDATE again and as well monitor the apps you install ad well as monitor this type of chart you posted closely.

can I DM you please?

GrandMufti:
Clear storage and cache of updater app, reboot and try updating

I tried this several times, but when i tap on "download update", it'll say "something went wrong, please try after sometime".

genius43:
Click on the highlighted, change to details and share a screenshot.

When you snap the carton I can now conclude on your update problem, that one can be resolved easily.

Hi. I don't know if you can still remember my phone update issue.

I've attached the carton and the battery details as requested.

Joohan:
I've done that multiple times on different browsers (chrome included). It's still not opening

Maybe its from your internet connection.

Joohan:
The link is not working

copy the link and paste/open on Chrome.

macbeyland:
What I have noticed Is that prices of parts for the newly released phones tend to be expensive and their demand is low cos they are still new.

Note 5
Redmi 5 plus hi
Note 7 are high on demand.


Those I already have.

Please add phone cases for note 7

Hi guys.

Does any dealer here have the following items;

1) A compatible earpiece or airpods. (for Redmi Note 7, both for calls and media)
2) Tempered glass screen (for Redmi Note 7)
3) Phone case(s); also for Redmi Note 7.
