Hello pals, i found this instruction in my school (University of Bonn) website "The transcript MUST display credit points according to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) for each individual course you have covered during your studies."
does it mean I have to evaluate my Undergraduate Transcripts like in USA.

Lol ...that was his job to tell you, though you sound like he was unfriendly, typical naija drills anyways it is on mon, Tue and wed before 12pm except they changed it. You will be asked to drop your documents ,leave the premise and come back to pick it up by 12:00 pm. Mein zwei Löffel

hollaytan:




Thanks for your apt response, you just hit the nail on the head..... he was very unfriendly as you predicted. thanks for the enlightenment, i guess i am to go with the original documents and the photocopies and the copies will be the documents to be certified?

kgsl:


......You will continue to meet this "fool" as long as you have anything to do with the German Embassy. This man is doing his job and he deserves some respect.

tayoslayer:


Ja, natürlich.

hollaytan:

chief help my condition nao. ............i no even understand broken dutch self.....pls meaning sir

tayoslayer:


Frankly, I usually prefer not to respond to 'already chewed meat' meaning question that have already been dealt with previously but the thread has been a lil' boring lately so responding is not a bad idea for now (no offence) and Not like I encourage spoon feeding but most of the questions you will ever have to ask are somewhere on this thread. Anyway my answer was 'yes' i.e what else are you certifying if not copies *and in-between, 'dutch is obsolete for German as it now pertains to Netherland while 'deutsch' pertains to Germany*

Hello!
I have been away for a while, I had to breeze through a very difficult professional exam with just a few days of self study and I have been away from any settled shelter for a while. I just used some time off to peep into the thread and see some comments but couldnt contribute .

Some of the people looking forward to gaining admission and are fidgeting about the cities your school is located in and the language. One thing you should note is that, different things are applicable to different people and in different places. For instance nevilbot was complaining about his city and I asked him, if he has been to a Nigerian or African church to ask for help..fortunately, that was where his salvation laid, and that could be difference between a good city and a tough city. Look at the opportunities which lies wherever you are and take advantage. And don't forget information is power. Always go to or do things that will attract opportunities to you.

Now here is a simple tip which I have always emphasised on. When you are assessing the economic potentials of a city, try to look at opportunities that abound in the neighboring cities too and the proximity to those places. For instance, a school could be in worms, but worms is not as good or big as Manheim but it less than 20-30 minutes from there and Manheim cannot be more than 1 hour from Frankfurt and also consider your free semester ticket from school. NRW as a state is also so compact that for instance you can school in Aachen or Bonn and work in Cologne and may be still visit your friend occasionally in Leverkusen or Gelsenkirchen. From Dortmund, you can visit your new flame at Duisburg while keeping tabs on the old one at Bochum or Essen. and all these places are self reliant cities. However, if you are isolated in far away cold Rostock, Mecklenburg Volpomerin, in the former Eàst Germany, OYO (its not so bad o)

No matter what you do, don't forget your fellow Nigerians over there in schools and especially CHURCHES, people tend to bond better and become more helpful to people of their kind when they are away lonely from home. Their fellow country men are the closest they can get to home. Its just simple psychology.

Germany is a large country with different traits. the rich Munichans are legendary snubs and business like, while hamburgers are more lively with their red light districts everywhere (well, with 1.8 million people), while Cologners are just dry, can't joke to sàve their life. Some cities are friendlier than others, some are more fun, some more richer, etc. At the end of the day, these are just stereotypes, its left for you to create a niche for yourself as one earlier said.

In terms of language, you stand to cope better in larger international cities, than some small pub town. However, the trade off is that your knowledge of German and ability to speak will be better in those smaller towns and will be horned better than in bigger international cities where English is widely spoken because there are less challenges or barriers to using it. The advantage is that at the end of the day, if you plan to work in Germany after studies, they will respect your German language proficiency better and you have less restrictions to the labour market in terms of language. So, if you are facing such challenge, use it as an opportunity to learn the language and not see it as an outright problem.

Again, what we are missing here is the post travel education. Thank God we are coming up and some are taking up the challenge.
*******************************************************
Now to me, I will say I lost the fight but not the battle. Its so sad, painful and unsettling that one puts so much effort, prayer, fasting, prophesies, intellect, time and finance, faith, hope, love and a whole lot of sacrifices into something so passionately and it comes bouncing back right before your very eye without meeting any of your expectations. It is tougher especially when you dreamt it and carried the responsibility single handedly. "It all shows that the race is not to the swift, neither the battle to the strong..... time and chance happens to them all"

The embassy hasn't replied me yet and i have not gotten a new sponsorship letter neither the old one corrected but my time has elapsed and I cant beat the deadline so am writing them to withdraw my application before they reject me officially so that it won't give my passport a bad record.

I have met great people in this journey and am proud I met them. This thread is such a great inspiration. Thanks for your prayers and the encouraging words. I don't have a hint of what next to do or what strategy am going to use back to Deutschland but in all, it is well. I need to call my spirit which has long left for Germany back to his body which he left here in Nigeria so they can both find a way forward.

The marvelling disappointment does not in any way indicate the last of me on this thread, from time to time, even if not daily, i will make my presence felt.

God bless you all!

I just got letter of rejection from Weingerten today (Bsc elect. engineering). I want to assume maybe its because I have HND mechanical engineering instead of electrical engineering? or because I mixed / joined 2 WAEC results? I am really sad.
Next I am thinking of applying to HTW for Bsc. Business administration, will they admit me? I e-mail them but they didn't reply with an answer. Also please has anyone been given admission despite having to join two Waec results together?
cc: kellytop abeg attend to me
