imperiouxx: Imperiouxx , Thanks so much for you advice, i appreciate it. But coming to the issue of MS, I wrote to many schools and applied to four schools, I asked them whether I am eligible for MS and all of them replied Negative advising me to go for a transfer BS program |

De Tus: @frankie2k, i don't think you have much problems. What language did you use in designing this program? Are you equally good at SQL or C++? Am thinking of taking any of these certified exams but i have no clue regarding past questions. It seems you are into IT. I used VB.NET to design the Program and I used the WAMPSERVER application as my Database. If you are a beginner in programming, C++ may be advanced and some how difficult for you to learn . so i advice you go into .NET technologies(excluding C++.Net). I suggest you start with C#.Net or VB.Net so as to learn the various syntax of programming and how you can comfortably create classes or modules, then learn database programming, when you are done, then you start learning the Oracle or SQL technologies then you are good to go. If you want to enroll into the swedish online studies, open an account with them at www.studera.nu or www.universitystudies.se. it was free of charge when i started with them but i think they now charge some money now. I wish you success in your programming days.KUDOS!!!!!!! |

frankie2K: I guess you didn't do your research very well. With your HND, you should be able to get a school even if it's not high ranked school or you got to do transcript evaluation. What they like to see is the US conversion grades and verification of the transcript. |

@bigfrancis & imperiouxx Students required to take the GRE must meet the institutional GRE and GPA standard according to the formula (GPA X 50) + GRE Verbal + GRE Quantitative =/or greater than 428. please house, help me analyse the statement above.. Am preparing for GRE and my choice is Lamar university and i really dont know what i have to score to get admission |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by imperiouxx(m): 10:15pm On Oct 13, 2013 |
xandy84: @bigfrancis & imperiouxx It's straight forward, saying your Nigeria CGPA converted to US 4 points scale is 3.29 GRE verbal is 159 GRE Qualitative is 159 Using their formula (GPA X 50) + GRE Verbal + GRE Quantitative = 3.29 x 50 + 159 +159 = 482.5 more than their minimum It means if your CGPA multiplicity as above is 164.5, your GRE score total should be 263.5 and above |

De Tus: @obo, did you inform your uncle before deferring your application? i did inform him about my deferred admission but he didnt inform me he was travelling and even i didn't reason then dat it would take this long to go for the interview. so right now i am confused. i need solutions cos telling the VO dat my uncle wasn't available to give me updated statement may sound like he also wouldn't be available to pay my tuition when the time arrives. |

xandy84: bros no vex.. What is 3.08 in naija GP going to be in scale of 4.0? Thanks Someone posted a free website for conversion some days ago. However, that should be in range of 2.5 to 2.6, I'm not sure. Nice, got it from my history http://www.foreigncredits.com/Resources/GPA-Calculator/ Implication of your CGPA is that you'll need to tight your belt very well or look for suspenders for your jeans pant on the GRE day. |

Tohpeh: Anyone help plss, I studied plant physiology and graduated wt 2.1 intending to do my masters(public health) in d US. Want to ask, in wat way are both those courses related....wat are my chances of gaining an admission to public health? Ur swift response wil be appreciated...tnx Hello Tohpeh, Good evening. Your SURE bet will be visiting your prospective schools' websites and going through the UG requirements for MS Public Health to confirm if an UG degree in Plant Physiology is included. I replied your email. Cheers. |

electronic: @imperiouxx!! Your 4.0 CGPA(which will fall somewhere between 3.4/4.0 to 3.50/4.0) coupled with a strong GRE score(somewhere around 310), strong letters of recommendation, and an excellent SOP could get you an assistantship in average schools in the US. Top-notch schools will require outstanding and stellar records from you. 1 Like |

frankie2K: Hello House, 1) Age does affect one's chances especially when you have been out of the academic environment for a long time. However, your case is different because all these years you've been very active and busy in the field of academia. That's what's more important. Therefore, I do not think your age will affect you. I must say, you have a commendable and unique profile up there. ^^^. I like it. Please do make sure you tell the VO exactly all that you've written up there under the what-have-you-been-doing-since-high-school question. Its an excellent answer. 2) In your case I don't think going for a bachelor's will jeopardize your chances. Moreover you're not going as a fresh applicant but as a transfer student. Meaning that you're likely to be placed around 300 level, if not 400 level sef. 3) Yea. Go on. A maternal uncle CAN sponsor you. Just tell the VO your sponsor is your maternal uncle. That isn't a problem, ok? 4) I guess others have already answered this question. Take care. |

xandy84: bros no vex.. What is 3.08 in naija GP going to be in scale of 4.0? Thanks 3.08 will likely fall around 3.0/4.0 on the 4 point scale. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by imperiouxx(m): 2:10am On Oct 14, 2013 |
bigfrancis21: I guess this is typographical error. You've already said "4.0 CGPA(which will fall somewhere between 3.4/4.0 to 3.50/4.0)" up there. |

xandy84: bros no vex.. What is 3.08 in naija GP going to be in scale of 4.0? ThanksYour GP will be from this range 2.60-2.80/4pts. Cos when I evaluate mine from 3.20/5pts I end up at 3.06/4pts(WES) 1 Like |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by bigfrancis21: 8:06am On Oct 14, 2013 |
imperiouxx: Morning bro. Howdy? Yea. The 4.0 was over 5 point(our Naija scale). Ie 4.0/5.0. Look at Electronic's post. I know someone who his CGPA was 4.10/5.0 and after conversion to the US 4-point scale, his new CGPA was 3.53/4.0. The 3.08 was also over 5 points which on the 4-point scale will fall around 3.0/4.0 (+ or - 0.02 error margin). My friend who graduated with 3.12/5.0, converted his CGPA to the US 4-point scale and his new CGPA was 3.05/4.0. 3.08 will therefore fall around that 3.0/4.0 margin. So you see, I'm making fairly accurate pro-rated estimations. |

Hello NL.Please How can I get SAT 1 Past Questions For My Private Pratice? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part4 by bigfrancis21: 8:14am On Oct 14, 2013 |
kunlebal: Your estimate is a bit too low. The 2.60 - 2.80 range you mentioned there is for 5-point CGPAs of between 2.50/5.0 to 2.60/5.0. Another friend of mine who graduated with 2.33/5.0 converted his CGPA and got 2.50/4.0. So a 5-point scale CGPA of 2.50/5.0 to 2.65/5.0 will fall around that your 2.60/4.0 - 2.80/4.0 range. I have a friend who's in Texas currently who converted his CGPA using WES. He graduated with 2.99/5.0 and when converted by WES he got the same 2.99/4.0. He really wished his CGPA would reach up to 3.0 over 4.0. So 3.08/5.0 which is higher than 2.99/5.0 when converted to the 4-point scale WON'T go below 3.0/4.0. When converted to the 4-point scale, there isn't much difference between your 3.20 and 3.08. The current difference of which is 0.12 when converted to the 4-point scale will further be compressed to say, 0.05. The guy's new CGPA will not be far much lower than yours(3.05/4.0). 3.0 is a fairly accurate guess. |
