MrMann1:

Ok. But my school said I can't do it from Naija. What do I do?

ensure u know what ur talking about...is it health insurance or medical test? If it's medical test u can do it from naija,if it's health insurance u can also do it with any Health insurance provider as long as they meet the requirements of ur school...My school is on an "A-rating" classification

MrMann1:
Guys, please which would you advise between doing an health insurance cover here in Naija or doing it with the school plan

Health Insurance here is very expensive,last year I took my school's plan and was charged $1,700 for a year,but this year I got the alternative insurance form and used it,which cost me $600...

Your 3.62/5 evaluation would have been 3.20+/4 if it was WES

true but WES said they are yet to establish a working term with my undergraduate school(Lead City) so I had to resort to ECE

ayosco2008:


How was ECE service like? How long did it take dem to evaluate and did dey require verification from your school? Also What's d evaluation effect on your GPA?

ECE was cool,it took less than a month to conclude the evaluation..they also use same verification process like WES,ur school must attest to ur transcript

fizzile:
Iam also contemplating using WES,ECE or IERF. I heard WES boost GPA. Don't know how true. And its like WES waste somuch time because of the issue of replying ur school to confirm if verify if they sent the transcript. Meanwhile IERF doesn't do all that. So my question is what's the evaluation of ECE and IERF like? Does it reflect on GPA?

like I said earlier,I am only conversant with WES and ECE,if u have signed up on WES go and check if ur schools are listed on the evaluation list that WES works with,else it will be a wasted effort..for ECE I had a Cgpa of 3.62/5 and after evaluation I got 3.10/4..I think WES would have been a bit higher coz of their grading criteria

fizzile:
Hey guys,this is where I really need tactically suggestions. I need a strategy to go about my transcript issues. Have applied and need to forward my transcripts but I need a strategy here. This is how it goes:
I have two transcripts to send,my BSC and my PGD. My BSC is from Michael Okpara Uni,while my PGD is frm Unical. Have applied into three schools. One requires evaluation,the other two want transcripts sent directly. Now how best do I send these transcripts to the two schools and to the one that requires evaluated transcript by IERF or WES? Please give me the best strategy to go about this plz.

i don't think there is a shortcut to it,u will,during my time despite evaluating my transcript and ordering the evaluated copies to the schools I applied,after I was granted admission they still requested I send an official transcript from my Undergraduate university...I think evaluated transcripts will come handy after ur graduation..My opinion thoh

ayosco2008:
Hello gurus in the house.. Which will your recommend between WES and ECE evaluation service..

they are both good,just that WES has some schools in Nigeria that they haven't establish evaluation agreement with as such they wouldn't evaluate transcripts from such schools like mine,so I had to use ECE..

Good afternoon fam... Pls is there anyone who can tell me about Dubai POE? Will 2hrs layover be enough to connect to another flight?

Flying with Emirates and the layover in Dubai is just 2 hours. Boston should be my POE tho, but I don't know if Dubai now operates like Doha.

if I get ur question right,since ur flying Emirates,check ur ticket fr ur departure gate and head up straight there,u will see other passengers.if ur confused in anyway,walk up to the "I desk"...they will put u tru...

Pls I bought a ticket from wakanow on Qatar airline and the return back to lagos is supposed to be 20th January, but due to an emergency, i want to readjust the return to backward ton15th January. The ticket says date changes is permitted but I want to know if I am going to be charged and likely how much will I be charged ?
This alot

i did that with an airline when I travelled,I was charged $150,it was in London and South Africa,I don't know if it's a fixed sum

bigfrancis21:


The option for picture may be there but you are not required to upload a picture online. You will staple or attach your passport to the physical printout of your DS160.

hey bro,just a little correction,stapling of passport photo to ds-160 is not accepted by the embassy,it's just a side hussle those guys outside the embassy use to hoodwink applicants...except the rules has changed recently

akagson:

OK. Thanks a lot. But when school goes on Christmas break, does the admissions office too go on break? I ask because I don't want a situation where they went to deliver the parcel and no one is in office. Does admission officers too go on break?

Lol,depending on location,postman deliver mails even on Sundays...A serious society barely take long holidays from work like ours,thoh there are few exceptions like Thanksgiving..so if ur transcript is mailed to the school,they will get it..

Daredee:

Mohammed1320:
If you have someone in Yankee you can send money to him to do that for you. A friend helped me paid mine. All the best bro.

we hope he isn't that type that will ask us to pay with our money and he will pay back later?else,he should head straight up to Cotonou.

Sorbitalll:


Before this period, how much do they charge per dollar when you withdraw. I ever swiped with my card and they deducted a whopping sum of N223/$. Ever since then, I just bone them. Still trying to figure out how I can use the money in my Gt account without being extorted by our dubious Gtbank. Does anyone know how to go about this.

thats even better,standard chartered charges me 230/$ also charge fr swiping

slimmy05:
It's ok Mrmann and anike. If you want to pay sevis fee, go to seme border and make your payment. dont even bother trusting anyone. Go to seme and pay.

exactly.

MrMann1:

smh... I have dropped my visa card details very well, I had to do what I gotta do. My coming to US is well planned. It is a pity that I couldn't pay from here with Visa card. Guy I was not comfortable to deal with you, I followed my instinct, and you are sounding pained about it... At least I saved you from the stress of going a long distance to the payment place. You already said you are also not comfortable that you pay first and you advised I go to seme border, I even had to pay more... So please tell me what exactly is your stress about it... #SMH

pained Lol,if I hear

MrMann1:

Thanks for your advice.

smh gear up for monthly rents,utilities and what have u,if u eventually take a taxi from the airport and have no cash tell the merchant u can't drop ur card infos over the phone for payment,that will also apply to other transactions u will have to make here,like I said I wish u the best if u ever make it here.do u know how many people on here that I have paid for?if not for BigFrancis that keeps telling me not to give up helping fellas,I wouldn't even move an inch.at least walspring trusted me with all his infos and passwords ask him if anytin ever went wrong..u don't even deserve a response nomore.i gotta prepare for classes

slimmy05:
lol, he would have as well told you to pay with your money to reserve apt for them. Well that's not a problem. He is just scared about his hard earned money.

you don't trust one to loose 200 but u want one to trust u to pay 200..well I wish him the best

slimmy05:
Really? the guy no even serious.

men it was really insulting to say the least,I even gave him my mobile to reach me,anyone that knows this city will tell u the distance from school to the payment center.he was like pay for me and I will pay back..I jst ignored,let's see how u make it through here if eventually u get here with this myopic mind.if u have an instinct in the first place why Coke here and seek for assistance

slimmy05:
When you would have asked someone in US on this thread to help you ou. You would have saved atleast 6-7k

imagine him asking me to pay for him and he will later reimburse, what nonsense,people like this are the reason one will chose not to assist others..
