Thanks alot Walspring for taking out time to answer my question. Please, why do you Suggest GRE? In place of ielts?

What scores should I aim to have Better chance of getting scholarship or GA?

Let's give the thanks to God

GRE is graduate record examination for those who are going for msc degree and also want free fall money from their school of choice because it is used to determine scholarship

Ielts means International English Language Testing System and it's used to know if applicant is proficient enough in English language especially for those whose first language is not English and can be used together with GRE to get funding specifically for those who want to lecture student as their job in the school

I just hope you grab it better the way I explained it

I would advise you take a bus because most local flights charge for your checked-in baggage.
So how much is the bus and what's the distance

Good day everyone. I have been perusing this thread, and having learnt a lot of important tips from many selfless contributors, I have a few questions yet unanswered from the few pages I read. I am awaiting my I-20, expected to arrive this new week.

1. How reliable and efficient is the SEVIS fee payment through Western Union? I see everyone ignoring this option, and seeking help. why please?

2. How official must the filling if DS-160 form be? Especially with regards the passport photograph. Can a random passport be used, because the samples I have seen, people dressed corporate

3. With my passport with which I sent info across to my school for I-20 documentation expiring Nov 2017, should I go ahead with interview appointment this week, or I should renew first?

4. Must the admission letter and letter of tuition waiver offer to be taken along for the interview be the original letterhead from the school, or I can print the softcopies sent to me for this purpose?

Please don't mind my funny questions. Thank you as I await answers from all who can help. All contributions will be educative.
My admission is for Fall 2017.

To all those who emailed me for discounted offer, some were registered and thanks for sending the payment.

To those that the registration is yet to be done, hopefully tonight or this week because i spoke with one of the benevolent guys last night and he said it will be done because i forward your details already and please don't delay in making your payment because i can only wait for 24 hours and after that the test will be cancelled.

To all those that i placed on standby or asking if the offer still available, well it is closing soon because of the target.

To all those who sent me pm, i have replied and am sorry for late reply

To all those who want mock interview, am sorry i won't be available for it because my schedules are tight.

God bless us all

hello, please how can I benefit from the discount offer?

1. No one is ignoring western union because that's what people helping to make payment have been using and payment will reflect less than 30 minutes or an hour after payment.

2. A random passport photograph can not be used because it has specification and size, It is not compulsory for you to dress cooperate what matter most in the passport photograph is for your face to show clearly then no shadow, with its actual size requirement which are very important things to be considered when taking the passport photograph

3. I suggest you renew your passport before going for interview because by June next month since it will be six months or less than six months old

4. Yes and any amount waived for you will also be written on your I20 as well. The school will/can send original copy included with your I20 or you print the one in your email in colored.

1. Western union quick pay is the commonly used method however in the past " Nigeria " western union did not have quick pay so it could not be done in Nigeria. This seek help is for someone abroad to help u pay mostly by WU...... recently someone mentioned a branch of 1st bank in lekki that now offers quick pay and hence sevis payment

2. I am not sure

3. U need at least 6 months date on ur passport to attend an F1 visa so also to travel so ideally may is 6months to Nov so you need new passport. Definitely to travel at least

4. You can print what you have but the tuition waiver amount will be on your i20 and that where the VO will be able to see and pick it up from. .... but u can carry any soft copy u have just for carrying sake

You may have to keep logging in to check. In many cases, dates just pop out. This is usually by people changing their mind from their picked date.

for those of us still waiting Fall 2017 decision from our universities.
I just hope it's not too late and we will be able to book our Visa interview for July if the I-20 arrives late

Hope no late coming for Fall in August 2017 ? grin grin grin
Hope no it's not an advantage at the Embassy too ?

What is important is the start date on your i20 ...... so if the visa interview is July, as long as you get your passport back from the embassy and able to arrive on or before the start date on the i20 then thats fine....

but yes buying air ticket last minute means it will be expensive

I have spent money on applications which I got many but no funding, I am tired but still dont want to give up on this school thing. Also, I want to minimize my expenditure on application fee and transcript sending by having targeted schools that sure grant GA.

I want to study Msc or Msc/PhD Civil Engineering.

Please guys, which schools can I apply too for best assurance on securing GA with my scores below?;

GRE = 311 (Quant = 158, Verbal = 153 and AW = 3.5)
Toefl = 101

Your suggestion would be held in high honors
