Please, I will Like to know If its compulsory to have TOEFL and SAT before applying to US schools, Cos a distant school mate just left and all he's got is just his National Diploma and good working experience from a oil company. Please Advice, ain't desperate about going , But just can't afford to sit for this exams and what If the school waives it, does that mean the consular would ask.Please Good and experienced advicers are needed on this matter. Please.
My guy,it depends on the school u r applying to. If u meet the english language requirements,those exams will be waived for u and it will reflect on ur I-20.Be dat as it may,if asked a question based on that,simply tell them ur sch dont require it as stated on ur I-20.

US to review visa policy for Nigerians, may revoke others
By Agency Reporter, Published: Wednesday, 27 Jan 2010

THE United States may soon begin rejection of Visa applications by some categories of Nigerians.

Although a statement by the US State Department did not mention the categories that would be affected, it added that visas already issued to some people might be revoked.

The plan, according to Empowered Newswire, a US-based Nigerian news agency, follows a directive by President Barrack Obama.

The US State Department supervises American embassies worldwide.

Empowered Newswire said on Tuesday that the embassies were advised to “review visa issuance and revocation criteria and processes with special emphasis on counter terrorism’.

It is believed that this directive would be actively implemented in Nigeria and other 13 countries on the US terror watch list.

Alongside the presidential directive, a US senator is also proposing that multiple visas be eradicated for Nigerians and the other countries on the terror watch list.

However, the US Embassy in Nigeria, has been absolved of any wrongdoing in the handling of the Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, the 23-year-old Nigerian that attempted to blow up a US-bound aircraft.

According to Ian Kelly, US State Department Spokesman, Embassy in Nigeria did everything they were supposed to do.”

It was gathered that Obama’s directive was addressed to several US departments and agencies with different specific instructions and policy directions.

But the State department instruction on visa is deemed one of the most crucial directives in the memo as it came first in a long line of departments and agencies.

According to the presidential memo, Obama stated that those actions including the new visa restrictions and revocation which must take place immediately ”must be taken to enhance the security of the American people.

The statement said, “The actions are necessary given inherent systemic weaknesses and human errors revealed by the review of events leading up to December 25th.

“They also are required to ensure that the standards, practices, and business processes that have been in place since the aftermath of 9/11 are appropriately robust to address the evolving terrorist threat facing our Nation in the coming years.”

Sometimes, people share the questions they were asked during their US visa interview. I have an observation about an aspect of the questions and I wish to get an answer. example;

Consular: How many schools did you apply to and how many accepted you?

I followed this thread from page 1 to 56. I didn't see any one who said " I applied to only one, and I was accepted by that one alone". I noticed that most people said they applied to more than one.

My question is this; assuming one actually applies to one school, and got accepted by that school alone. Is it risky to say say it? Must one say that he/she applies to e.g 2 schools, 3 schools or something? Please, this is my observation and I wish to get a good reply. Thank you.

logically speaking,it doesnt affect but 9ja factor will always set in wen ever u tell the consular ur sponsor is abroad.Its a "minus" if u say so cos wat if the person decides to stop funding u?that is d question dat will first run thru the consular's mind.Dont 4get,they hv d mentality dat u r coming to lie to them so its now left to u to cajole and or convince them by first confusing them grin , tell them wat is not and be so bold to defend it. My advise,if ur sponsor can be ur parents,it will be better.
Just my piece

About exams, you don't need the SAT'S but you definitely need the TOEFL. Not all schools require that, but you'll probably save yourself some future stress if you took it.

I'm guessing you have to start applying to a medical school. If you plan on starting school in Fall '10, I believe you should have applied and you're probably completing your application. But, that isn't really viable, so you should probably target Spring '11. If your results are really good, you could get a scholarship which will make things waaaaay easier.

Best wishes!!!
