Nigerians are so good at advising. Even when they need the advise more than you

You don't know your seniors in this thread ba? See the way you are talking. Learn some courtesy.

@OluDare01 I apologise on his behalf.

Ricoco:
Baba forget that thing.
Take the top 20 schools out.
The remaining top 200 are same. Personal development is what counts afterwards.

I laugh again, please don't generalize. School pass school .

Ricoco:
With your GPA and GRE score why not target safer schools?

ETSU
SIU
NIU
Chemistry is a hot course and there is always funds.

In fact if you apply to NIU right now, you might still be lucky to have admit and funding.

As far as the school has good facilities, standard and staff, it is as good as any school in the top 100.

That was days of rainning season. I can tell you with all assurance that there is no funding for this fall 2019 and only one GA position may be offered to Intl students this section

Investmentfreak:
Can someone apply with 1million naira?

You need to have 6720€ for living expenses if you are offered 100% scholarship. Unless the school offers you monthly stipend for living expenses, 1 million naira is small.

Investmentfreak:
How can one get the scholarship??

It comes with the admission. When applying, there is option to select if you are interested in their scholarship offer.

Oblang:
That will be nice. Scholarship from the university or from the another organization...

From the universities you applied to.

Oblang:
Good days guys. Are there any school in finland still offering tuition free?

None. But you can get 100% scholarship

fabyom:
Michigan Technical Uni.
Application fee waiver today. Hurry guys

It's always free application. Nothing like fee waiver

Army93:
Yea, and 6800 Euros scholarship. But I heard Rovaniemi has a very cold weather and it's mostly dark .

Congrats! it for the tuition fees or living expenses?

Army93:
University of Lapland admission result is out. Who got it?

Did they give you?

doziej84:
Yes, I WAS admitted without Funding.

These schools could be funny sometimes. I just dey look dem.

were you admitted?

Why is funding scarce for this fall 2019? Have seen many PhD admit without any form of funding

frankie2K:
Add that up to 30k insurance fee. What is the again of not having an interview again?

What will VFS do that is special? Will they investigate your academic background or financial background?

I am skeptical that they want to reduce migrants to there country as Denmark did in 2006 followed by Sweden

Maybe the low turn for visa made them to outsource it. The VFS process is quite straightforward though.

VisiFisiMisi:
Hello Nairaland Family, I have a huge passion in studying in the U.S but financially I'm not okay and it's driving me crazy, I have make researches day and night if there are opportunities or possibly loan i could get and payback. I'm not lazy i would pay back in time but none gave without a cosigner.

The biggest problem I'm having right now is that, It's only me that have interest in this my parent doesn't seems to care about my passion towards this because they believe they don't have the millions and not ready to support my passion

I'm set to take the SAT I've been studying for the exam for the past 4months now but haven't seen any opportunity to register due to financial incapability...

Pls can anyone generous register me for the SAT...I know I might not have anything to reward the person but the God of Favour will favour the person in returns....
I strongly believe, I'll pass the exam with a great grade and qualify for scholarship...


@thewholethreadviewers

Can you please stop reposting it. if someone wants to help, he/she will do so.

molosfaith86:
Please I
VO: Did you get scholarships? if not why?
me: No I didn't apply for scholarship because the fee for my study is reasonable and affordable by my aunt and uncle.

Though they might not ask you that question but if they do, don't say that. Say something like i wasn't awarded any scholarship though I applied but since the tuition is affordable, your aunt and uncle are willing to sponsor you

frankie2K:
Nawaaa. Which kind stress and extra cost be this one?

After paying 102,000 for RP, you pay VFS extra charges.

Not encouraging at all

23,690# for VFS service charge. RP application fee is #106,000.

I think the interview part is not required again until there is need for it. Just submit your docs at VFS and do your thumbprinting.

Senorita123:
I got admitted for MSC. Talking about profile, mine is not so great. To be sincere, I m not sure I met up with the dept requirement, I just risked it. It was GOD!! I had a second class lower (3.34/5), TOEFL 89 and GRE 307 (QR 157 and VR 150) plus 2 years teaching experience....that's all. Yea, I wont b needing a statement of account to get my i20

Congrats! You are indeed lucky!!!

ProYouWebsiteUK:

This visa is not but God and it’s a intellectual war between me and the VO that handled my application.

This is USA thread though. Congrats anyway

dele31:
Please guys, I was given a letter of financial offer covering my tuition and stipend for a masters program. Do I still need to attach a sponsor's statement of account with the financial guarantee form for the issuance of the I 20 or just attach the financial letter form?
Thank you

Just attach the financial letter if you don't have any deficit

AAmide2204:
Int- Good morning
Me- good morning
Int - pass me your I-20 and passport
Int- asked yy I didn't come with the original copy of my i-20
Me-skippded my mind but the signature is valid
Int- I know....so yy er u traveling
Me-to pursue my masters degree
Int- why this courses
Me- cos I have a degree in agriculture and it is next big thing
Then the woman started typing before she gave me back my stuffs and the blue letter....
That's all I can remember

You flopped here and spoilt the whole discussion. Secondly, always go with your original i20.

chaiks:

University of Eastern Finland Admission decision just came in. They offered me 100% tuition waiver plus 6200€ yearly stipend for Master in Research Chemist. Goodluck to others still waiting for offers.

bracelum:
He was denied because his father bragged - not because he was not seen as a genuine student or otherwise. That tells you that it happens in rare cases.

His university called - that further confirms what we were trying to tell fairheart yesterday.

Again, I never mentioned 100% guaranteed - I said it is almost guaranteed (95-97%). The remaining 3-5% is for rare cases like the one you just mentioned or for people that failed to use the vast resources at their disposal.

And please, I don't want to talk about this topic again.

Thanks

Lol, Like always, you always like to stand on your view. Even we talk from now till tomorrow, you will always maintain your stance. There is nothing to talk again anyway.

bracelum:
No need overflogging this stuff

In as much as top school admit makes visa easy. There is nothing like 100% guranteed. Have read on quora where a consular officer said he has once denied someone with Harvard admit visa just cos he overheard the dad bragging. When harvard called, the consular officer explained and that was it, the guy never got the visa. It's case by case but nothing is guaranteed.

LagosismyHome:
For me that they were rejected in the first place shows its not automatic for top schools

Most times they do it to make more money, they know you will reapply again.

fairheart:
Ah! You certainly wouldn't go further because you do not have experiential fact! You're the first person to tell me school call embassy to issue student visa to bschools student. And I have been laughing! Thanks anyway!

Don't say what you don't. They call. Visa can never be your issue with top 15 B school admit.

reloaded01:
TUT sated it clearly that they will start sending admission mails in mid -April.....

Yes. That was the general mail they sent after certified documents were received. You can mail your dept for more updates on your application.
