MackyNaija: Okay , well I guess you will see when it gets here. |

tizzdi:Prod1gy finance. I think mpOWer does it too. You need to have been admitted to and attending a 'top' school. Even though some people for top school GPA na 2.0. |

MackyNaija: So basically your New Nigerian passport will be mailed to you in Texas in one week time correct? I'm asking because mine was expedited & was available for pick up the next morning. |

LUCAS99:I am not expecting it even in 1month's time. Make them even keep am. I only need my US visa back. |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by Babyvet: 11:21pm On Oct 16, 2018 |
MackyNaija: Lol, I know that’s right. How long is your student visa for? |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by Beautyaddy: 11:45pm On Oct 16, 2018 |
LUCAS99: Hmmm, you must have been spending more than 10% of your credit limit with each of those credits cards and at the same paying back late pass the due dates. Very unwise decision. Hopefully, this hasn't affected your credit scores. Spending credits cards with very high credit limits can be very tempting but you should be aware that the money is not yours...but you are just borrowing the money to cover for items you don't have immediate cash at hand to spend...but also must be pay back to avoid paying unnecessary late fee interest. |

tizzdi: Lol... I got approved for the Loan already. The money will be disbursed after enrolment |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by Predstan: 5:52pm On Oct 17, 2018 |
MackyNaija: Lol... You think Top schools will accept a student without 3.2 and above? Or you think they will accept students with 3.0 without concrete work experience related to their major... I don't know about Mpower but prodigy Finance only supports schools that have stringent admission and retention policy... 2.0 keh |

I just finished reading this entire thread in about 7hrs staright non stop, all that is on my mind right is, Finish NYSC, write all the exams required for qualification and start applying to further my study, I don't think there is much financial excuse apart from flight, upkeep and application fee, the hard part is tuition and the united states has made it easy to go to school, Op I really want to thank you for the undiluted exposure, the knowledge is too powerful 8 Likes |

Predstan:bro i checked dem both and the schools they actually support are kinda many..does that mean if i secure admission into any of their supported school i’d be sure to get the financing? |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by Predstan: 3:26pm On Oct 19, 2018 |
tizzdi: Yes you will... They only support engineering, Law, Medicine and MBA for Masters degree with up to 80% of the total cost of attendance. Your whole profile will determine the rate of interest 1 Like |

Predstan:yh i saw that too..i actually read computer science |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by tizzdi(m): 3:39pm On Oct 19, 2018 |
Predstan:yh i saw that too..i actually read computer science..soo no way?..i saw they also support STEM?.. |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by Predstan: 4:05pm On Oct 19, 2018 |
tizzdi: Computer science is covered also. Most schools house the course in the College of engineering. You are good to go |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by Predstan: 4:07pm On Oct 19, 2018 |
tizzdi: I will advise not to put the loan on your mind. Please use that as last resort. Try to ace the GRE and TOEFL. You might get a full ride for the degree. If you are interested in the PhD, apply directly for doctorate degree in Computer science 2 Likes |

Predstan:Social science courses like public policy is supported. Some stem courses and schools are 100% covered especially around New York area. |

Babyvet:Valid till the end of my program. Sometime around August 2019. Lhimeet: Lhimeet:Guy, kam dan.... I have an exam in 90mins, doing my final preparations. Haven't slept more than 3 hours in the last 26hrs, my head is banging. Just hope I can return here tonight. |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by MackyNaija(m): 11:42pm On Oct 19, 2018 |
Predstan:I meant a low GPA after enrolment and taking exams. 2.0 is an exaggeration though but not everyone in a top school is a superstar. |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by Lhimeet(m): 1:28am On Oct 20, 2018 |
MackyNaija:Take your time.. Exam first before anything.. I wish you success! |

MackyNaija: Three weeks back, I got an email from a company recruiter for a fulltime position against my graduation next year. Industrial Engineering position in Silicon Valley. Replied and a phone interview was fixed the next day with just a few hours headsup which I did and concluded in 20minutes. Received another mail same day for an onsite interview scheduled for 3 days later. Na so I take begin prepare to go San Jose that week. 24 Likes |

The speed fear me.. I was told my resume was seen on Hand5hake, a website were students in US schools find jobs or internships - in my school, mostly on-campus jobs. That interview was all expense paid, return flight, hotel (cost die, over $200 daily), food and ground transport. It was moved to the upper week and I did it before heading to Atlanta for the passport renewal. Overall, it was a great experience and I am still waiting for a feedback from them. Gerogia Tech, Penn State and College Station people full there. I follow dem drag am. 21 Likes 4 Shares |

Just imagine, you were contacted just by uploading your CV on the site whereas in Nigeria, you would started sharing your CV like wedding invitation card to one uncle who will promise to secure an oil company job for you and later disappoint like Amaka. MackyNaija: 9 Likes |
