Special thanks to Toakins, she is in Iowa State now and she did a mock for me before she flew. Thanks to the indefatigable team of men and women of this great and legendary thread. God bless you all. Amen
Abeg I dey find cheap flight o. I am leaving on Sunday..Colorado people pls show up o

Just saw this... Congrats bro. God bless your new journey.

ProfOjah1234:
Really want to know how much you got all those stuff done at lasuth.. Heard its far way cheaper in lasuth than luth.. I'm presently quite far from Lagos, I'd have love to go make inquiry.. Thanks

The Tb skin test is 1k. The cost for the others depends on the manufacturer. The MMR is approx 5k per dose, meningitis was about 10k (gsk product)-i was told it is for life. But you can get another product for less.

toluene1234:
Can it also be done in a private hospital?
Did you fill any immunization form? Which type of immunization did u do? Wat is the content of ur immunization report?
Did you do xray/skin test because my school request for it?

I dont really know about immunization in private hospitals. All I did was MMR, Meningitis and Tuberculosis skin test and I was given a card/report.

Forgetting your change in Danfo..
Searching Wakanow like a Browser

Checking Craiglist like ...
Google will also confirm if you are not a robot

Congrats Toakins and electronic. Who's this Mazi guy? He must have really created a scene there.
@Toakins, did you receive funding and was this mentioned in the interview?

He created a scene and he got the visa. Yes It's funded and I asked during the interview (my last question though because I asked three questions).

electronic:
That MAZI taught me a small life lesson ; Never say Never.
Congrats Man!!!
That Window 6 man was cool he only gave Blue paper to peeps who were not prepared..
Once you have a grip of why you are going to US he brings out White Paper...
Honestly a lot of people were caught off guard...

Yes o.. the Mazi was oozing confidence. Yeah the window 6 guy was cool and attentive but It's God's grace o. Congratulations too @ electronic and I am a She .

Hi guys, I am a silent follower and this is me giving back.
My Visa was approved on Friday the 2nd of June. ... Wait.... let me first do the '' Visa approved!!!! thingy .. Transcript loading.. Lol.

I got to the venue around 6.15am for my 7.00am appointment.

ME: I am going for a PhD in Plant biology. It is an inter departmental program and i'll be taking 72 credits with a minimum of 24 course credits in courses such as (mentioned about 5)...( the VO was busy staring at this computer screen) then I continued.. and also attend research seminars. In my first year, I'll complete rotations in different labs to familarize myself with the type of research going on in the department before choosing a lab to work in. (I paused for a second but he was still staring at his computer).. I will also be attending annual Xxxx lecture series, and attend local and international conferences...

VO: I'll be approving your visa...bla bla bla (unlike y'all I heard all he said )...
Me: thank you.

UI dide duro! Recte Sapere Fons. Proud Alumnus

Congrats Dr hopeful and iCool.
I am a silent and religious follower of this thread. I recently got a reject mail from Kansas state. The email stated that I was qualified but no grant funding.. no professor has funds... blah blah. They said they were sorry that not all qualified candidates are usually accepted because of their low acceptance rate.
I had previously contacted the grad coordinator before who said funds were available. I don't even understand but it is well.
I pray we all get into the best programs with full funding.

Congrats iCool. I pray we will all testify soon.

Hi guys, My TOEFL was released yesterday.

R-25, S-24, W-28, L-30. Total-107.

Many thanks to you all for your contributions most especially @time2smile, the noteful videos you recommended were very helpful. I also practised with the Official guide, Barron and kaplan.

Congrats Time2smile... great scores!

@motifoluwasolami
I also do not have funds for my graduate study. I don't think it should affect submission.
Have you been able to submit your application to KSU? How did you fill in your GPA with the format xx.xx? I just don't understand how to go about it.

Guys, I'll be writing toefl a day after a schools application deadline. Will the test scores be considered as part of the application days after the deadline. Please help.

Congrats time2smile. Great scores you have there. Please can you share tips on how to prepare for the toefl test and the materials you used. I'll be writing mine in few days time. Thanks.

Hi guys,
My Toefl exam is in few weeks time..Please I need materials to study for the test. Thanks in anticipation.
