•̸Ϟ•̸¥ CURRENT SITUATION REPORt.
The third interview was on march this year. And after that interview I realized that •̸Ϟ•̸¥ profile was shabby and two friend of mine were issued visa during this •̸Ϟ•̸¥ time of junkyness. •̸Ϟ•̸¥ friends naw advised me to do the standardized test and apply to A̶̲̥̅ better school where I could get A̶̲̥̅ GA and A̶̲̥̅ school that's reckoned with and to halt the notion of entering to Jama Jama but to come in for study. With the help of A̶̲̥̅ friend that was introduced to me over there in the states, I changed •̸Ϟ•̸¥ orientation completely and nursed the ambition to further •̸Ϟ•̸¥ study and also to settle as an academician. Naw I wrote •̸Ϟ•̸¥ Toefl and I scored 98 and with the help of •̸Ϟ•̸¥ friend I applied to WIU MA economics and have been granted an admission for the spring session and •̸Ϟ•̸¥ i-20 is right next to •̸Ϟ•̸¥ door and I also wrote the gre. Here •̸Ϟ•̸¥ GRE score is damn low because the school did not require me to do it A̶̲̥̅s A̶̲̥̅ prerequisite but I did it incase am being asked at the embassy so because it wasn't A̶̲̥̅ prerequisite, I was slack about the preparation and I scored very low of 283. That's •̸Ϟ•̸¥ situation report for naw º°˚..... Naw I need all the advice and help that I can get. What and what is not yet right about •̸Ϟ•̸¥ profile. Currently am assisting A̶̲̥̅ Dr in the department where I graduated from at OAU. I would like to appear at the embassy by either first week or second week of December and house, all the gurus in this house I will need all the candid and instructive advice that I can get either constructive or destructive I just need you guys help. What is needed, what is still lacking and what can be done. I remain loyal º°˚....

It's almost everywhere. They restrict themselves to some kind of courses at the graduate level (in science: mostly in Health or Biology). Internationals dominate many departments and I think that is why US offers admission to many internationals at graduate levels.

Mamacita007: Has anyone registered with EducationUSA at the US Embassy-LAG? I registered with them today for 15k and saw a bunch of confused people that have no idea and are nervous. Thank God for nairaland. They even bounced one guy in his late 30's because he's too old to school in America. The centre helps students that want to school in america with school research, application, free study area for members once a week for GRE/TOEFL and mock interview for f1 visa. They are all Nigerians oh. No consular person involved. They even help to pay SEVIS fee for their members ( but you'll pay them first in Naira).
They have meetings every wednesday. I went today with my bro so the woman did mock interview with us and discouraged my brother because he's going for 2nd degree bachelors, but he no send am. Her questions do not really tally with peoples stories here on nairaland. I just tire. Has anyone used them?

kpolli:

You forgot standardized tests

Yvete: @ Mckenzii

How did you know about Drake? Do you know anyone that has been there? I looked their review online and it seems like an OK school with very high moral standards like no smoking/drinking, curfews,..etc. Whats your intended major?

Stay clear of Everest, Devry, University of Phoenix, ITT Tech, Kaplan College, Walden, etc. Degrees earned here are substandard or near-worthless. I'd rather attend a Junior college than unpopular highly priced private(for-profit) schools, but hey, that's my preference. All the best with Drake! Keep the faith!

@Olami1224

Google search schools that offer your chosen course. Check their requirements. Then shortlist a number of schools that are closer to your area of study & availability of financial aids/scholarships/grants or any other form of waivers,check school's rankings (it mustn't be an ivy league school) also consider school's location, cost of living, weather conditions.
Meet all application deadlines, take the standardized tests.
When you are accepted into the school, you'll be requested to submit some financial documents, proof that student has financial support with or without assistance from the school. when you meet all requirements, an I-20 form(Admission letter) will be mailed to you.
Pay a SEVIS fee at any ECOBank in Cotonou or Seme border or If you have anyone in the states, the person can pay online for you. NB: You'll need the receipt for your interview so, be mindful.
Visit the US embassy website to fill an onlne application DS-160 form. i think it varies depending on the type of visa you are applying for.(not certain)
Visit any GTBank to pay a visa application fee. You'll be issued an MRV receipt(whatever its called)lol
With all these things done, visit the usembassy website and schedule a visa interview appointment. You should know the rest.

@House Anyone can add more tips to this. If I'm missing out some details.

To all the Spring'13 students, I wish you all God's grace as you prepare. Amen!

Mamacita007: Mckenziii Drake University? Why u nor follow go Lil Wayne University? Public schools don finish for America? Kpolli; I don hear oh. I sleep on this nairaland page and may God reward all of u for ur kind contributions. Its my homepage now sef. God help us Spring applicants. We shall overcome.

imperiouxx: Looking for schools? Only check on PUBLIC schools. Don't say you are not advised. Chikena!

imperiouxx: The first place you get grant is in public schools because they are government funded schools. In other words, public schools offer affordable tuition, some tuition waiver and all give grants from government. Most private institutions are also good but more expensive (since they try to maximize their profits) just like in Nigeria.


@mr. Swagg,

I'm talking in general. About bank statement, yea all schools request for that. They need it to be sure you/sponsor got fund in bank for your studies. So that you don't come and depend on public fund and that's the government rule for schools.
