Good morning HOUSE,

For me the journey started in 2016 when I ended my NYSC and I hoped to do my Masters abroad cos I didn't want to go through the same stress twice as I did during my undergraduate days in LAUTECH (also called LAUSTRESS).

I graduated from the department of Computer science in 2015 with a 2:1 grade and the miracle for me was I heard of Germany at the nick of time we were about having our POP.

I talked to Friends who had gone ahead of me in the journey, chatted people and make calls to both known and unknown.

In 2017 I got all my documents ready as I checked the criteria on the internet in order to apply to various schools. Admission was a challenge for me as I didn't want to apply through uni assist cos I didn't even have money to apply to schools. I did a good search on dada.de and opted for schools whose applications were free. The following schools accepted my applications in good faith..
Bonn university, TU Ilmenau, Heildschem, TU Darmstad e.t.c.

After my applications, I waited few months for admission as university of Bonn disappointed with a rejection letter. But as God will have it I was compensated the following week by TU Ilmenau. Admission letter came in and it seemed to me like Germany here I come in 2017. Unknown to me I have to book for interview space ahead of time and before I could do that, every slot was taken I was left with no option than to think Summer 2018 here I come.

Months passed by as I mailed the school to please give me another admission letter so I can apply for summer semester but the school refused me and told me that I should use the one they gave to me that it covers for 4 semesters until summer 2019. I decided to follow their instructions and applied with that admission letter.

Fast forward to my interview date:04/01/2018, I appeared at the gate very early in order to avoid any WAHALA from MR. PAULINUS but as prepared as I was I had about 5 documents missing. I didn't know the witches in my father's house that made that happen. As He called us to arrange our documents, I noted the missing documents and I was scared I was going back home that day. In my mind, I was already concluding on Winter 2018. But I held on to God cos I know it will definitely be a miracle.

As I went in to meet the VO. the lady in room 1 saw my admission letter and told me sorry I can't go ahead with this interview cos my admission letter wasn't valid that it was for Winter 2017, I quickly chipped in that it was what the school asked me to use to apply that she should go on with the interview.

Like that wasn't enough, she noticed my missing documents and told me to either go out or she make a photocopy for me for a #1000 per copy biko... I only came with my visa application fee and I don't have anything left on me as I explained to her. She stood up in annoyance and came back with the photocopies. Then said in a low voice "I don't do this for people". I said to myself, 'This could only be God'.

She was tired and ready to get rid of me, she printed a paper full of interview questions and asked me to fill them as she went through my documents again. I hurriedly filled the questionnaire. She suddenly reached out for the paper and told me that was enough. The only question she asked me was tell me about Germany. She printed my receipt, collected my application fee, asked me to sign and that was the end if the interview.

Finally she asked me for my blocked account fund and I told her I would get it by the following week but inside of me I knew I didn't even have a Naira to fund my blocked account yet. But I really believe GOD WILL NOT START WHAT HE HASN'T FINISHED.

Another journey to funding my account began as I trusted God that money would come. Truly money came but it seemed like it was too late. I was expecting my documents back in my house but it didn't come and finally after 2 months of my interview I send the blocked account confirmation on 15/03/2018 and the long awaited A. M. dropped on19/03/2018.

I'm so grateful to God and everyone here on this platform for the support and stories you have all shared.

For those expecting A. M GOD wey do my own effortlessly go do una own too.

Thanks all
This is amazing. Fellow ladokite, I wish you a brilliant success as you proceed to excel in Deutschland.
safe

Dear prospective winter applicants,
I want to advice that if possible, try to send ur document(s) via NIPOST to Germany instead of courier services(FedEx,DHL etc) so far ur application deadline for submission of document is not nearby. It's very cheap & costs me #700 to send three different completed documents instead of paying #18,000 to DHL, FedEx et al.
Documents sent in Nigeria- 02/03/2018
Documents rcvd in Germany- 15/03/2018

Sorry for this. I'd really like to know the schools that rejected You, and if they had the Numerus Clausus policy.

And I got rejected from some schools in my time, some for no reason whatsoever even to schools with my exact same program (Computer Science) and no NC (I was so depressed then) and this is why I tell everyone to "apply to as many schools as possible and do not restrict yourself to stupid university rankings and those similar BS". When you have multiple admissions, then you can choose.

Try again for winter, with a wider net and you should get something.
Those schs are Univ.of Bochum and FAU.
They have NC programs bt the course I applied for was not among d NC's courses.

Lalaski2017:
Your reason for refusal sounds like that of FAU. They rejected someone here too for the same course with the same reason. They also rejected me for a different course because my docs. wasn't adequately certified. And all this course are without admission restrictions.

The only solution is just to apply to as many schools as possible. I have missed out of summer semester because the few schools I applied to rejected me, although with genuine reasons.
I will be going for Winter semester now, already have admission for Uni Freiberg (It's really a thing of joy to finally gain admission after a few rejection.) and I am still expecting one from Uni Hannover and University of Bonn. Will still apply to a few other schools then will make my final decision when it's time.
Exactly FAU. Applying to as many schs as possible is what I'm intending to do in winter. Thank you for ur contribution. "Iyanu mas'ele bro"

Thank you all for the job well done.
I got rejected from two different schools stated the reason as thus; "The admissions committee has carefully reviewed your application documents and determined that your qualifications do not meet the requirements of our demanding Master's degree programme."
Fortunately enough, I studied Pure and Applied Chemistry in my B.sc and I put in for M.sc in Chemistry.
My questions are these;
1. Is B.sc Chemistry curriculum in Nigeria different from the one in Germany?

2. I'm looking towards applying to some other schools for winter semester again, doesn't it means same reason(which I don't pray for) might be given after application?
3. Has anyone experienced such this stuff as mine before and then later got over it?
Pls your prompt suggestions, contributions, and way forward are welcome.
