Those of you that don't wanna write toefl, be warned! I didn't write toefl so getting funding wasn't easy.When I got here, even guys from Bangladesh India Sri Lanka got TA and me that my English is top notch didn't get anything.
The grad school said I'm proficient in English but my dept said no. No be small thing o. My solid background got me funding. I am not taking any prerequisites unlike other incoming students. In short, write toefl. Abeg.
My fellow students said I speak good English You go wan fear sexy voice na

Na joke not mockery .... no vex biko

iCool:
I guess they were just teasing, no insult intended.

MrMann1:
Fine, it was stated, but there are some courses that I have taken before and they still want me to take them, simply because some of my poly courses are 2 unit while it is 3 unit here.

Helkayklassic:
Lool... Naija situation nii.

LagosismyHome:
Hummmm so the school gave you graduate admission and then when you got there downgraded it to undergrad..... if na me i no for gree oooo and would have asked to see the President or Provost of the University or even President Obama to settle the matter

ngobaby2264:
for the fact that I'm asking for help doesn't mean that I have to be an object of mockery. You should learn how to talk to people you've never met.

DeeTus:
@Walspring, LOL, that's the kind of response you get when you try to help. I only blame myself.

How are you man? Hope u r cool?

dickoflife:
u don come with cucumber smile abi

imperiouxx:
This is the problem with those schools that ask for a preferred evaluator. Once they started saying anything apart from wes, you should know they are about doing something unpleasant. Now, they're getting more money from you by recommending you for a 2 year undergrad course. Question is, did they not reviewed your transcript before selecting you for admission? Or must they show they are utterly incompetent delivering their duties?

LagosismyHome:
Please what the name of this school ........ Person gats to be careful , as they are dashing out extra credit $$$$$ to do before credit $$$ for masters even begins

MrMann1:
Nope. They gave me a post bac. Clearly on my i20. But I never knew that it will require me to take such amount of courses.

neahyo:

Why do you want peoples personal history and details?

DeeTus:
Please stay away from that message and mind your business. It wasn't directed to you. These questions are basic questions she will have to deal with, before heading to the embassy for her interview. I have helped a lot of people on and off this thread. So, when I ask questions, I know exactly why I do so and I also want to determine how the applicant will succeed.

slimmy2005:
How then did you get a grad admission in the first place? It sounds a bit confusing. If they evaluated your transcript to be 93 units then how the hell did they offer you grad admission or I didn't get the whole stuff clearly. Well my school accepts HND till date. You don't even have to evaluate your transcript.

MrMann1:
I am a victim, yes I evaluated my transcript with my school accredited evaluation service SDR Evaluation. The evaluation report claimed i have 97 credit hour out of 120 and I have about 3 years undergrad towards Bachelors. Mind you, both ND and HND is strong Upper Credit

I got to the school and admission office said I DO NOT have a bachelors degree, no amount of plea that HND is equivalent to Bsc oo, my dept transfer only few courses and insist that I take undergrad courses to complete Bsc. They said some courses I took indicates LD (lower division) category cos it was a 2 unit at my polytechnic school, while it is 3 unit here in US, I tried to prove stubborn, but time was not on my side as classes started few days after my arrival here. It seems it will take me up to 2 years or more to complete the undergrad level.
The truth is it is stressful for HND grad to come here, they will rubbish all the 4 years of polytechnic stress, one of the staff that attended to me even wondered loudly how I got admission . My candid advice is either Hnd grad that intend to come for MS here first get a PGD in addition to his ND, HND transcripts plus GRE or just write only SAT exam straight and never mention higher institution at embassy.

Anyways, a bachelors degree will be to my advantage here, I will be looking forward to scholarship and internship offers and even if my visa expire, I still dey school noni so it is easily renewable.

abduldope:

ngobaby2264:
I'm 23. A graduate of microbiology. My gp is 2.34. I'm into business for now.

ngobaby2264:
Thanks a lot. My gp is low. Can I use my waec maybe write SAT in order to process my admission? Maybe go in as some one that never has a bsc.

Schwartz:
Thank you so much for your reply.
They both schooled in the UK but had to return. And they haven't been able to find something to do in Nigeria. From your post I think its best they both come on the F1 student visa. So if they both get to the US to study another Masters, does that imply that they will only be allowed to work on campus throughout the Masters program? Will this take care of the bills, rents etc? Is it feasible to get a campus job? Is there a time during study when they will be allowed to work offcampus? At the end of schooling, does the system allow them to stay back and apply for jobs?
Their situation brings tears to my eyes. Imagine spending thousands of pounds to study for years in the UK and then forced to leave the UK

almajiri101:
Good morning house, please am planning to apply for intensive English program ( IEP ) in california state university, please what is my chances of securing a visa with this program because some of these consulars can be so strict when it comes courses and schools reputation ?
Thanks and i look forwatd to hearing from your swift response.

almajiri101:
Thanks for your time, our first language can't be English what happened to our mother tongue ? am a graduate of English and a teacher. I would have loved to apply for masters degree or even PGD but putting the tuition fees into consideration, that's why i prefer to apply for the IEP then at the completion of the program, i can now go further.

Being a graduate and teacher of English and also putting for English language program, don't you think my chances of getting a visa may be high? Please i really need you to put me through. Thanks
