School resumes 19th
On Ap since 17th July .....

I have no idea what to do anymore

Mail your Grad Cord to communicate your resumption date with the embassy probably with your international office and you in copy.
Though this can change nothing on the decision, it is an option. Also request for an extension letter.
You're s strong lady.. I can imagine what you're going through right now.

Thanks a lot
I have been trying to reach my school regarding this. The person my program director told me to contact doesn’t reply emails or calls
It I really frustrating me

TheNoble007:


I feel for you my dear... The only thing you can do now is to request for a late arrival letter from your department or the DSO of your school.. Are you a christian? If yes, I will advice you to make a request of this from our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. Despite the fact that I am a scientist, I reverence God and acknowledge His might. Peace be unto your soul..

Good morning house.
kindly help review my proposed transcript.



Why are you going to USA?
I am going to USA for my masters in Rehabilitation Science at the University of Illinois, Chicago.(UIC)

How many schools and why UIC
2, Concordia university Wisconsin and UIC.
I choose UIC because of an ongoing research at the brain Plasticity Laboratory aimed at improving optimal functions among stroke survivors which aligns with my career interest. Headed my Dr sands who has consented to me volunteering at the Laboratory.
Another reason I choose UIC is because of its multidisciplinary approach towards the management of stroke survivors, this brings together professionals from different fields in other to attain optimal functional recovery.

Why this course?
After the completion of my first degree in Medical Rehabilitation(physiotherapy major), I have had the opportunity to practice both in the public and private health sector and having witnessed the multiple hassles being faced by stroke survivors and their caregivers and challenges in attaining an optimal functional recovery, I was propelled to further in the field of Neuro-rehabilitation.


What will this course do for you?
As a physiotherapist, a masters degree in Rehab science affords me the opportunity to seek for the post of a neuro-rehabilitation specialist at any federal teaching Hospital back here in Nigeria.
In addition, a Masters degree in this course will further sharpen both my research and clinical skills which would be brought to bear in delivering an evidenced based Rehabilitation service in other to improve functional recovery among stroke survivors and hence reduce the alarming rate of premature death on my return to Nigeria.

What is your plan after your study?
I will be returning to Nigeria to seek for the job position of a Neuro-rehabilitation specialist at a federal Teaching Hospital. A field where there are only few specialist in the country.
Also, this programme does not limit me to clinical practice alone. It would also equip me to become an health consultant for various organisations in increasing the awareness on the causes and prevention of stroke.

How did you know abt the skul?
It was during an extensive research on the internet trying to improve functions in my stroke patients that I came across an ongoing research at the BPL of UIC. I was intrigued by this research technique and I checked up on the school.

Why USA?
The USA is a trailblazer in the field of Neuro-rehabilitation most especially the concept of neuroplasticity. A masters degree in US will not only expose me to state of the art research laboratories but also an opportunity to be mentored under top researchers in this field.

Why are you leaving your present job?
My career goal has always to become a Neuro-rehabilitation specialist. Taking this golden opportunity will bring me a step further towards achieving my dream.

Who is sponsoring your trip?
My dad is my principal sponsor while my uncle has also volunteered to co-sponsor me.

Congrats to those who are recently approved.

I get one small advice for those of you on GA, GTA, GRA and undergrads with full-ride scholarship. I will drop it as soon as I settle down. It will definitely help those of you who wish to get your *** after graduation. I believe it is worth sharing, and as no advice is useless.

I have sent the GRE materials to all who asked.
please boss , send the GRE materials to georgezuokemefa1@gmail.com
thanks
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by waynee2baba: 6:12pm On Aug 12, 2019
Look it's easier to pay for the charges than to look for someone coming from the US. Plus US is one big place, what if you don't find someone close to your Uncle's location? Seriously why is this even a question?

For the past few days, I've been going through this thread, and assuming it's a church, I'd exclaim: "God is here". Regardless, indeed, God is here. I thank God for making me find this thread, and I thank everyone here for making it a success.

Despite my very shallow pocket, I'd love to share my own testimony come fall 2020, and to achieve that I want to start by taking the GRE and TOEFL. By God's grace, I already have a CGPA above 4.5.

My questions:

1) With a CGPA above 4.5, do I have any advantage in my quest for a full ride?

2) I intend to write the GRE and TOEFL by October ending, and get scores capable of giving me a fully funded scholarship (mehn, I'm currently a broke ass niggar and this journey will be impossible without a scholarship). Is this timeline feasible for both exams?

3) If I get my GRE and TOEFL scores by October ending, will it be too late to get full funding for fall 2020 admission?

4) With a fully funded scholarship (without any deficit), can I get a visa without a statement of account?

6) Can I start applying to schools now without my GRE and TOEFL, and later send them my scores once available?

7) Please I'd appreciate if anyone with study materials on GRE and TOEFL can send to me on : kevwemanuel at gmail.com

Thanks alot in anticipation of a response to me

As you land, dem no go give you money on top say you be GA, you have to work for a month na, so to chop, to buy bed or other supplies, na money kill am ooooo.
Meanwhile, even if you are fully funded and there's no deficit on your I-20, e no purge you or run your belle say you get better sponsor and credible SOA.

I am really sorry you have to deal with this, I also know words may not really help right now. I just need you to be strong. Let your PD know the other person has been unresponsive and probably seek his/her counsel.
I believe you will get through this, you have fought so hard to get here and I am rooting for you, always.

You pay for the shipping, tell them where you want it to be delivered to, you pick it up and smile.

Hi guys,
I am new in this place and I want you to please help in making suggestions for good schools for fall 2020.
Undergraduate: Obafemi Awolowo University (O
OAU) . Electronic/Electrical Engineering. GPA (4.63/5.00) Toefl (80) GRE (Not yet taking).

Proposed US School:
University of Houston, Texas Tech University and University of Florida.
Program: MSc Electronic/Electrical Engineering. (Possibly Computer Science).

based on the Toefl score, I saw 79 or 80 as their minimum scores. Though I know it also depend on their acceptance rate. And I am thinking of using that score like that please is this a good choice Including Universities? Thanks
I'll advice you focus more on your GRE for now. Put all your energy into it, it matters a lot!! You finished from OAU, so did I, so in that case you might not even end up using your TOEFL scores. because TOEFL is waived for OAU by most schools in US. So pleaseee focus on your GRE if you can score 310 and above na funding go dey chase you grin
All the best
