imperiouxx: For students it isn't tedious, as the lab lasts only 2hr 30mins (though they also have other labs but not on same day) but for the GAs, it may depending on your own classes and other tasks.

oh ok, i roger that.. If i may ask do u think a computer science student will be able to have good GPA since he is in the soccer team either he misses lab work or classes 4-5 times in a semester?

conyema12: Thanx master, in that case let me start warming up
Pls what's the best method to arrange for dhl or ups to pick it up for applicants and how will the payment be made. I dnt want. Nipost wahala oh

It depend on schools, cos some schools can send it via courier free of charge while some schools will ask you to pay for courier service which is around 100 usd and above.

You can use USPS express mail international and its just 3-5 business days and it cost less than 50 usd. For you to use this service your must ask your school to send it to someone in US who can help you resend it via USPS express mail international

imperiouxx: No, as a member of school sport team, you'll sometimes miss classes... like when you guys go for conferences or away matches. When I taught Org. Chem Lab last fall, I had this 3 students that missed 4 out of 12 lab sessions. Later they came asking for reports because their coaches wanted to see how they perform in class. I had to give them..... take no kill me whitie! They will always come for make up labs when it's not convenient for you and be on your neck.

Thanks bro.. But it their lab work tedious? Abeg give me more OT on this

imperiouxx: There is no school without sport teams, name the kind you want.

You'll play soccer till your GPA starts begging you for more points at the end of the semester.

Best of luck.

PS: you must not loss form to stay on the athletic funding and your CGPA must not drop beyond limit, else you'll be advised to concentrate more on your CGPA.

I mentioned soccer team..... Yes i knew that my GPA must not drop and i must not lose form also... I thought there will be time for soccer and also there will be time for studies.... I will pm base on this level

@Walspring, i hope you've gained one or two things on the other thread.

That woman is nice and very attentive.

yes i do...

Graviton: My brother, full scholarships are very hard to come by but don't let me discourage you.
Anyway, I'd advise you look for a school that offers diversity, freshmen scholarships - most offer partial scholarships, That's what I'm doing and I'm sure i'll get it because competition is minimal and i plan on getting a very high SAT and TOEFL score to boot.
I'm with you on the Soccer team though, the school i'm applying to has a great team, I no fit imagine not playing ball for yankee

thanks for the advise can u reply my pm and explain further??

godG: Please attend to this good brother o. And I no sabi stuffs about Underg admsn.

Bold 1: Like you have a phobia for MN?
Bold 2: Now I see a brother in the business

Bro you are funny indeed.. Well i dont have phobia for MN and soccer is part of me so i want to work on it when i get there although school i applied for didnt have soccer team that was why.

Amefrica: Wow! Good. Thanks for taking ur time to reply my questions (necessary & unnecessary questions )..

This should be all for today, though i still have more questions..

Have a nice day ahead. God bless you!

imperiouxx:

Okay, that's good and i roger that!!!

nomso27: House i hail!

I see u imperouxxx, amefrica, walspring i hail too o! where ricky nd biggie na ?

Hmmm kim k's girl nice name. . .

So r u the "north west" ?

@nomso27 well..... I sight you!!! How your side?

imperiouxx: You just added good meaning to your initial post.

You mean: cheap to secure admission for the agent, agent becomes fat and enjoying in Nigeria while hell to pay tuition for the student, student becomes thin and roaming streets of US as illegal.

Good!

thanks!!!! Lab proffesor....

imperiouxx: Cheap?

Do you mean cheap to secure admission for the agent and hell to pay tuition for the student or cheap to secure admission for the agent and cheap to pay tuition for the student?

i mean the agent will get a school with cheap tution fee for their customers while the agent task them huge amount as fees to secure admission for them

kim k's girl:
thank you, I know i'm going to be on my own at the embassy and at least to an extent I know how it works, i'll be using the agent for the exams and to get me a school and i'll do the remaining by myself.

get yourself a school of your choice by going to usnews. com and dont use an agent to get yourself school what of if school agent get for u is not ur choice or u dont like the life style when u get there?
Well agent will want to get u a school dat is cheap and i pray he wont get u CC school. I advise u to search for school urself.
As for the exam well i understoond why which might be ur ability sha but just be wise and as our justwise here who does not like ppl mentioning agents names here.
Lastly people here can get u list and names of school for free if you need help on that, all u need to do is to ask what u want.

kim k's girl:
I always love to do everything by myself not until I got a uk refusal, it's not like I can't do it myself but I never nursed the idea of schooling in America until this strike and my mum is the sponsor, she came up with the idea and got the agent

i advise u not to use agent and dont think u cant get this ur visa urself cos am sure u can since most people here got their visa with patronising agent and since ur mum will sponspor you, i wish u can try and convince her so that she wont tink that using agent will make u get the visa try show her this thread to follow just pls tell ur mum not to waste the money on agent cos what u will tell d school is what agent will tell d school for them to issue I-20 for u and mind u agent wont go to US embassy wit u cos u will be on ur own dat day.
US embassy made decision the same day u go for ur interview and not like UK where u will submit ur applications and documents then after 2week u know ur fate. All u need is in this thread cos u will be the one to answers questions from VO and not agent and its what u learn here is what agent will tell u and what VO will ask cos most question are the same and u need to be bold, smart and vibrant.
I have friend in abuja who patronise agent and up till now agent still telling him stories but i did the processing myself and i only spent 10% of what my friend paid to agent in abuja for his Msc, i have my I-20 with me here on my bed and am still going to receive another I-20 before friday.
I advise u to focus, believe in urself and read this thread from part 1 to this current part 4, u will see that VO as similar quetions, also pray for God's favour which i personally pray for everyday because no agent get supernatural power and nah God get am.
This thread is free of charge but agent is not free and even on this same thread there are some agents who visit to read and learn so that they can use it to lecture their customer for them to face VO and get US visa..

Amefrica: A University in Southwest Minnesota State

shey your school dey give waiver for fresh international students and scholarship for international students?

obotubong: bro the probs i have now is that when i filled my ds 160 i didn't include my uni education and bringing it up at the interview may cause probs. as at when i filled my form, i was so naive about the time difference being an issue and now i am stoked. what do you advice? do i tell about my BSC degree when asked or do i cook up something better?

if u have submitted the ds160, i advise u to fill another new ds160 and go to the appoitment booking site and insert the new ds160 number dere and update it so that the new ds160 will reflect and not the old one where u made mistakes because what matter is the ds160 number code that u used to book appoitment. Maybe this will help u

Hey! Do u need the person to help you receive your school docs so that he can bring it down for you?
Anyway pm me and let me know what you need from the person coming to 9ja from US?

Walecrsyler: Pls house I need everyone's opinion here. I sent my admission package through USPS to my school in Minnesota, USPS was going to deliver them today but I got a mail from them that the school was locked probably due to the fact that today is a weeknd they wouldn't be opened for business but what is really bothering me is they said they returned the package to their office and if it's not claimed within five days that it's gonna be returned back to the sender.
Please everyone advise on what to do next. Abeg Una don't read and ignore.
God bless

bro my advise for you is to contact your school international admission office and inform them that USPS came to the school to drop your documents but the school was closed and USPS will have to return it if the school did not come to pick it up. So you gice them tracking # or details they can use to pick the documents from the USPS.
But the USPS suppose to drop the documetnt inside the school mail box if truly they went there. Abeg your school nah federal schol and dem don shut them down

fadinus: Hi house! This is Amefrica.. I'm banned and couldn't post tru my acct.. Anyways!, I was at the US consulate(Lagos) today and I was delayed.

Me- good morning ma
Vo- good morning, why are you going to US ?
Me- for my undergraduate studies in Political science.
Vo- where in the US ?
Me- Southwest Bleep Bleep university
Vo- how did you know abt this school ?
Me- I did proper and extensive research on the internet.
Vo- what sites did you use ?
Me- USnews.com, princeton review.com and collegeboard.org
Vo- I love those sites, I used it to search schools for my brother. Do you have anybody in minnesota, you will stay with
Me- No, I don't. I will be staying on campus housing
Vo- When did you graduate ?
Me- 2010
Vo- what have you been doing ?
Me- I did 10 months A' Level and I prepared for my admission..
Vo- you used the result to gain admission
Me- yes, with Waec, transcript and TOEFL
Vo- (kept typing)(I can see she wanted to grant me, but she decided to ask a couple of questions more) Do you have siblings ?
Me- Yes, I do. I have one sister
Vo- what does she do ?
Me- she's just 5 years old. But I have a senior sister who's married..
Vo- clapped and smiled with me.. How will you pay ?
Me- through my father's aid
Vo- What does he do ?
Me- he's into building construction and real estate.
Vo- since when has he been into dis business ?
Me- Since, 2010.
Vo- can I see his bank statement *the problem starts here*
Me- Yes, for sure. Passed the Affidavit of sponsorship and bank statement
Vo- she read tru it and she immediately raised her eyebrow I began to pray, so she off something and showed her colleague, pointing at the transactions and they were talking but I couldn't here. She ON the thing back and asked for my WAEC cert
Me- here you go ma..
She checked it and return everything to me "I'm sorry ur app does not qualify you blah blah, you can re-apply blah blah"
Me- thanks ma.. She looked at me with pity and shook her head. She said have a nice day

You people should try to point somethings out. No knowledge is a waste.. But me strongly think it was all abt the bank statement.

Thanks to Bigfrancis, fadinus, Ricky, imperiouxx, Kofsy(I'm sorry), Yvete, mamacita, orlarwalay, johnny p, tochium, seunolumonday(wishing you success), lisadem the list goes on.. I learnt one or 2 things from you guys, y'all are the bomb.

#TeamNeverGiveUp

Bro...Am sorry to hear about your delay but never give up at all..
As for me the VO saw something concerning the transaction on the bank statement which was confused about and she decided to ask her colleague. Maybe the amount calculation on the statement are different/wrong i advise you to use calculator to the mathematics on the statement there to check it out.
The principle about statement was that they do check a portion of the statement and compare it with the closing balance both at the top of 1st page and last page of the statement. Maybe she saw something like a withdrawal on a public holiday at the bank counter or withdrawal via ATM which is more than normal amount you can withdraw via ATM daily.. I hope you understand what i mean here?
Lastly since you know it was all about your bank statement kindly please work on it and get a new one and do the calculation on it yourself before you take it down there again
You can PM if you dont understand what i mean by the calculation or you ask Ricky Rozay

imperiouxx: Amen!

Thanks bro..

The State Department says it will keep most passport agencies and consular operations open so long as it has the funds to do so, although some activities might be interrupted. (For instance, "if a passport agency is located in a government building affected by a lapse in appropriations, the facility may become unsupported."
During the previous shutdown in 1995-1996, around 20,000 to 30,000 applications from foreigners for visas went unprocessed each day. This time around, the State Department is planning to continue processing visas through the shutdown, since those operations are largely funded by fees collected.*

iykemoney90: Pls nairalanders I need your advice.

I was dating this girl 2 yrs ago before she moved to turkey with the family because her dad is a diplomat. Although we didn't break up before she left,we were still in communication for about 4 month before I stopped hearing from her, instead voice mail will pick her call, she won't come online on fb and she neva replied all my messages so I felt I should move on with my life and am currently dating a someone nw.

On 7th of this month,she called me on phone and told me she's back to the country ,I was excited a little and also surprise because they normally stay 4yrs anytime they move to a new country. So when I met her she apologized for ignoring me all those while. But the fact now is that she came back to Nigeria because of me and am already dating someone. I've been at war with myself.

What do I do?

Oga follow your heart but me dey single and if you give me her link i no mind oo... Oya lets goooooo

bigfrancis21: Hello Members,

How are you all doing? Sorry, I have been away for some time now. I've been quite busy lately. The little time I have to come on nairaland I just look around, post on the culture section and leave.

But I'm back now.

welcome back bro.. The house miss u oo

Abujafood: Take it from me these methods have worked before, but don't come running back if a chic slaps you (may be you didn't follow the instructions well). If you're a guy wanting a relationship check yourself and see if you have any of these if you don't time to up your game.

1) Make it big!

This means get yourself a career that pays you well. It doesn't matter whether it's in the corporate world or in the hustling world of the street, if you have the spending power you're a hit with the girls.

2) Make a name for yourself

The girls wouldn't turn down a chance to have a BF that's admired and well known, it makes them feel lucky and every girl likes being lucky.

3) Dress right and tight

If you have an athletic physique and a fine face it won't fly with most Naija girls if you dress like a hard core born again (no offence if you're one) Your high class, fashionable dressing plus natural looks will sell you any day.

4) The Magic Word

Girls are sensitive to words and they're often moved to act based on them and many Nigerian girls have theirs. For some it could be Cash, others compliments. If you say her smile is very cute in most cases she'll be moved to think about you. Tell her you want to try out a game and need a partner. If she asks what's the game tell her shopping. Once again the magic words in reverse order; shopping, cute smile, cash to name a few. There are many more be creative.

5) Make her to feel envied by her female folk

Most women want other women to envy them. Buy a Nigerian girl an expensive item other girls crave for just as a gift and nothing more (while you're chyking her) telling her it's not a bribe, 95% of the time she'll give you her number if you ask her for it. The rest falls in place with time.

Has any of these methods worked for me? Your guess is as good as mine!

What of if the guy does not have money to do all this thing? tell me what will end it and happen to the guy? I guess it was the slap you mentioned earrlier

sobastical: oga walspring abeg reply my mail, am one of you guys for area o
