After the excruciating wait I got the anticipated message last evening and I got my Study permit today.
Now the problem is what should I do? International office said I can come in and register next week, my department hod said I can't meet up cos I've missed much part of the coursework+practicals as I'm going for a coursework and Research Msc. I don't want to waste Flight ticket and other expenses and be turned back o.
Abeg gurus advice me. |

Scholastica16: There is supposed to be a "send score" or an "order score" button on your TOEFL account home page. Just click on it and follow the prompt. Try to use an Access bank account as they provide auspicious rates for the endeavour. Thank you, gotten it. I don't have access, how is the charge different using other banks like firstbank or zenith? |

femi321: What course are you going for at UNCC? If its engineering like Civil, Electrical and computer or Mechanical etc, Faculties don't award RAs to incoming masters student because they don't really know their attitude to work, character etc , some RAs only pay instate part of your tuition in UNCC. An RA is very hard to come by in your first semester and if you get a TA, TA doesn't waive any part of your Tuition, all you get from TA is stipend. So you might want to look else where. And no matter the school you decide to apply to, specifically ask the grad cord there policy for awarding TA/RA , some schools dont award TA to incoming students until you have taken their own English proficiency exam and be sure to ask if TA/RA waives any part of the tuition. Different schools and different states have different policies Thanks I'm going in for Bioinformatics MSc, it's jointly offered by biological science, mathematics and computer science department. I already been communicating with the grad coordinator since Nov last year though I've not mention issues pertaining getting TA or so. Infact I'm just hearing it from here, I'll do that. So if I wasn't given any sort of funds like how much would I have to hold to cover for a year, tuition inclusive? Thing is I'm planning on submitting my application by May has the grad coordinator said that's the deadline for fall as an international applicant. Do you think It's advisable with the short time frame? I read somewhere here application closes for fall earlier. Thanks. |

OluDare01: University of Memphis,UT Dallas and UAB should fund you if you're going for a PhD and I believe you would get in with a decent profile. Going for Msc. Do they give any sort of funds to Msc with a decent profile? Thanks. |

fredoricko: You're welcome.
You can get an estimate of what your GPA would be on a 4 point scale if you employ the services of WES. Below is the link www.wes.org/students/igpacalc.asp
All you have to do is enter the grade and credit load of every course taken in school as it appears on your transcript- assuming you've got one handy. I hope this helps? Yes it does, I just did it now. Relieved I made the cut off Thanks so much. |

fredoricko: 3.55/5 is above the required GPA for a good number of schools. So now you'll need to make a list of schools that offer your desired program and then continue to reduce the list by such factors as
1-Funding opportunity 2-Ranking of program 3-Job prospects after graduation 4-Environmental factors 5-Tuition and Living expenses
This list is actually endless but I'm sure you get the idea. Good luck! Thanks for the response. I saw requirement of A minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 (4.0 scale) and 3.0 in the major. How do I convert to this 4 scale GPA? |
