They said minimum is 92, so if you score higher, you get a higher equivalent?

I sorry, I don't understand. Who said what? Why?

kennynelcon:


Would have preferred if it was above 10%

Ah! Stating motivation is hard o. Some of us would rather the marks were allotted to academic excellence or English Language test score. I'd have been happier if my English test was even graded.

kennynelcon:
Nice, I think second option will be preferred, although my program allotted 10% to Letter of Motivation.

Wow. Lucky you. I have a programme that allotted 25% to motivation. Least of the three programmes is 20%.

I am just stating what obtains for science programmes, wouldn't know about arts and management programmes.

kennynelcon:
Thank you...In contacting consortium schools, are you trying to show your strength or you want a prof/faculty member accept you?

It's not important to contact the schools but you can contact their researchers. It is not an easy thing to get a hold of them (especially as you are not in their schools or country) anyway since most schools don't put the names of their staff out there. Then you'll also have to start search and stalk them on social media or look for their email.
Since this is hard, a better alternative would be to mention your willingness to work with any researcher in the school you come across per chance.
It is just to consolidate proof to them that you are interested in the ongoing research in the programme.

Any tip from your friend who got the scholarship ?

Apply on time.
Send in your application at least a month before the deadline.

Your letter of motivation or SOP is very important. It shouldn't be plagiarized or written haphazardly. Try write and rewrite it until it convinces you that it can get you the scholarship. Mention how your background qualifies you for the programme and what specifically you want to do in the programme. To help with this, you can simply research the institutions of the consortium you're applying to, check their research strengths and facilities, then link it to what you will do in the programme. If you can get correspondence with a researcher in any of those institutions all the better and do not forget to mention it. Explain how the programme will be of immense benefit to your third world country, highlighting the specific areas in which you can apply the knowledge of gained from the programme.

It took me months to write my letters of motivation. Some programmes give questions to answer briefly on your motivation, cutting out your work for you. So it pays to know the programme you are applying to beforehand, so that you can prepare.

Don't know how academic references are assessed, although their letters and presence in the research world matters. Use professors.

Your performance in courses relevant to the programme is more important than your CGPA. My friend had a CGPA of 3.8 out of 5, yet he made it.

In event you get preselected, prepare for the interview (phone or Skype). They will discuss your letter with you, just know what you have written in there and do not lie. Reiterate you've been reading research work (on those points you mentioned in your letter) in preparation for embarking on the research in your spare time (it might be beneficial to actually do this). Please do not lie.

Any other thing I did not touch, please lemme know.

I v identified three courses. one need Ielts of 6.5 with no section less than 6.0. I have 6.5 but one section was 5.5. I'll this affect chances?

I wouldn't know, sorry. One reason for my ignorance is that there's just a dearth of info when it comes to Erasmus. Few forums I've seen discussing it are not even rich in content. I've been relying on what I see on Quora and a friend of mine that got the scholarship.

Your best bet would be to mail the admissions committee you're applying to. They are always responsive. So you wouldn't waste a slot out of the 3 programmes you can apply for.

She's young. She has a lot of breakups to go through. Just think of it as pressing a pimple. It is brief and painful but you'll feel relief in the end.

What about one reason not to? RISING SEA LEVELS.

Why is whoring so appealing to women?

Porn is bad for you but it is not because porn is evil or whatever negative name OP is calling it. It is not bad because religion says so. It is bad because it has a terrible effect on the brain and how we relate to sex after seeing porn. Go to: www.yourbrainonporn.com
I bet you'd never wanna see porn again.

You entered a business with someone, no legal bindings, no plan to secure your money. Why won't anybody take advantage of that?

It's a vicious circle, what you Nigerians create for yourselves.

Since you didn't enter the business well equipped with up-to-date practice, you're about to lose money. Because of that defect, you're about to use another faulty means to get your money - which is using that faulty SARS to clobber an old woman in order to retrieve info from her.

Sorry about your money but do better next time and save everybody the stress.

kennynelcon:
Interested in SMARTNET App started 6 Dec will end 5 March.
PixNet too, but that's secondary.

Both needs English Test from Nigerians.

Most, if not all, require an English Language Certificate. Some might accept a letter from your degree awarding institution that your courses were instructed in English.

All the best in your application.

kennynelcon:
In God we trust, this scholarship is the best for me atm.

Unpopular though.

Applied already? What programmes?
I've sent my application to the (max) 3 programmes of my choosing. MEME, EMPlant and PlantHealth.

All of them are getting back to preselected applicants in February.

Okay, it's not really an answer though but ok

Well, I am just doing my best from the little I've read on Judaism..

Firdaus Amasa is just a rebellious and petulant child that is sold off on the victim mentality Muslims have when they can't get their way.

The problem with her kind is egregious. They get invaluable secular education, then somehow believe secular education and its attendant organizations, need a reform. Why can't they stick to Islamic education? This is a question that befuddles the mind. Why do they also attack secularism? Because Islam to them is a superior idea than all other ideas. So by Islamic fiat, they must infiltrate secular values and change it to suit them.

It never occurs to her type that if every idea in the world behaves like Islam (of which some of them do), this world will be thrown into total chaos.

I'd be disappointed if NBA cowers to such arrogance. Their cynicism is all too obvious.

danvon:
Judaism is supposed to be about the Old testament surely something like that should be in the Old testament

Like I said, no one knows why Jews adopted it. The reason could be more cultural than biblical.

Like all religions, there must be some insignia that speaks the name of a religion once sighted. The star of David might have no root in the biblical history but it is a symbol that has existed for a long time in Jewish history.

The conjecture goes that it must have been adopted to represent Judaism because of some semblance to the Christian cross.

Love the guy. Most of his instrumentals are used in YouTube football highlights. Most notably faded and the spectre. I love "sing me to sleep" as well.

There is nothing in the NBA dress code that speaks out against wearing hijab.

Covering your hair and neck in no way impacts on your professional appearance.

All that has been happening is professional intimidation and bullying without any basis.

I have already posted a link that speaks to the NBA dress code.

Did you somehow miss that?

Stop sounding like a black Jim crow troll.

You are the typical intolerant Christian. How does wearing hijab translate to poor grooming? Two years ago, before this beard gang fad, I'm sure you would have said the same about full beards.

Your comment on grooming and equating Goth dressing with modesty shows exactly what you are, a typical intolerant Christian bigot

I don't even know where to start with your rant. NBA might not explicitly prohibit use of hijab but it doesn't imply it is admissible as part of the uniform.

I also did not equate Goth with modesty. I was only drawing a parallel on how people will want to impinge on establishments. because of what they wish to do and are comfortable with.

I'm not a Christian. Your last tirade pretty much sums up why you're wringing the argument in the context you have chosen to see it. This is not even a religious argument. I'm just trying to make you see in the same vein a Jewish kippah is not a Muslim wear is the same way a hijab is not a law uniform.

oyb:
that is why i will continue to reference rosa parks

none of you have been able to come up with anything concrete on how the law profession dictates what women or men should wear.

back of the bus enablers

So you want to equate fighting against racism to being a petulant child? Is she being denied her rights to be a human being? Someone isn't qualified in grooming, you're making an analogy to racism. Mrcheew. Every tattooed, rip-jeaned, Gothic, leather-jacket wannabe will make their case to dress however they wish if a loophole is allowed in the use of uniforms, how can you miss that?

At the bolded, NBA is a legal entity, it has its own code and creed on the presentation of it's members as bound by law. Please stop sounding ignorant.

Is God omniscient? You decide.

Does God know the future but has the power to change it? Then God cannot be said to be omniscient.

Does God as a purported perfectly moral entity have propositional knowledge of feelings like hate, lust, envy, apathy and sloth? Then God cannot be said to be omniscient.

i am very proud of this lady. this is how Rosa parks also refused to move to the back of the bus.that was also 'convention' and 'the way it is done' i can also remember the reactions of entitled whites then. not so much different from our christian brothers who are coming up with absurdities like a presidents daughter refused to challenge the status quo

kudos to this lady for bringing this out into the open. you do not have to be from the elite to stand up for your convictions

there will now be a proper debate devoid of ridiculous 'render unto ceasar arguments'

it is the same way that female lawyers in nigeria are forced to wear skirts over trousers. that too is 'convention' and 'the way it is done'.

women in corporate nigeria, business, medicine, engineering, wear hijab in professional and working environments and there is no issue. legal practitioners are not any different.

All air, no sense made. A profession has a right, just as your religion does, to dictate how it's members present themselves. She's not challenging any status quo, she's being rebellious and should be dealt with for dragging Law in Nigeria into this furore.

If a stripper has no business covering up, if the safest gear a surgeon can wear is scrubs and surgical hats, then a Muslim should have no business with a profession that demands a different uniform from her religiously proscribed one.

She should try Shari'a law. Enough with the blackmail.

Nothing. God doesn't wade in the affairs of men.

Fiaburnthem:
I wish there are two planet earth in the world, where the Christian will be in one of those two while the other people will have the other even with the jupiter, Mars... Make dem take abeg

No religion is without it's drawbacks, Christianity inclusive. We irreligious folks would rather live alone too.

When Muslims don't get their way, they start throwing words like "Islamophobia" around.

Formal bodies/businesses, like religious bodies, have their own ruling on the way members should present themselves. It is not a must to join a profession that you know doesn't allow you practise your religion in the manner you so wish.

If a stripper has no business covering up, a Muslim should have no business where uniforms are the law.

For Pete's sake! There are schools with Islamic law on offer, I'm sure no one would stop her from being a hijab-wearing Muslim if she plies her trade there. Enough with the blackmail!

I also have the sneaking suspicion that any secular country allowing it's lawyers don the hijab is simply avoiding trouble because it makes no sense when one considers uniformity.

We don't have Islamophobia - irrational fear of islam - rather, Islam should stop making irrational demands where it has no business doing so.

Unbeaten ke, FIFA has withdrawn our 1point against Algeria and rewarded them with 3 points for fielding an ineligible player. So we didn't go unbeaten.

Still counts as an unbeaten run to me. FIFA's sanction is just paper work.

Messi is either being disingenuous or is playing mind games. For a team that went unbeaten through our qualifiers, scored a lot and conceded just 4 times, I'd say Nigeria is doing just fine. In event Iceland shock Argentina at the WC, it'll only embolden us to drub Argentina again.

Adorable? Is that her real face?
