Please, What of someone accepted into Harvard university but has a deficit of 60k?

Hello, I am currently in your position. This is what I did. This will be a long post, I apologize.

I finished my MA in the UK in 2021. Post graduation, I was working part time here and there, as per UK usual. I applied for fall 2024 to 8 universities, all fully funded programs. I go admitted into 3, 1 waitlist, and 4 rejections. I just did my visa interview last month, it was granted. My Visa is arriving soon.

Key things to note.

My masters and PhD is in exactly the same field. So I am not jumping from A to B.

I have never ever been to the US before, nor have I ever applied for their Visa.

My PhD is fully funded with over 10k excess left over.

My interview lasted like 2mins.

Please, please, please.... apply to the best school you can enter. The school is very very important and will affect your visa. School and funding is the most important thing from my experience. It is harder to deny a havard or princeton scholar than someone going to rashford state university or Onana school of business. I see people talking about home ties and all that, THAT IS A NIGERIA PROBLEM AND YOU ARE IN THE UK. THAT PROBLEM IS BENEATH YOU!!!

VO in Nigeria are people with prejudice and strong belief that we all want to run away and never return. They are very tight. It is not like that abroad. If you can, go to Belfast for the interview, things are very chill there. The VO are soft friendly people.

Apply to a top school, the best you can get into and have full funding. When asked about post graduation plans... I said "to go back to Nigeria and use my skills in education, research and development". Just show intent to go back home, all that home ties nonsense is BENEATH you.

Now, for your application, make sure you write GRE, you dont need toefl. I wrote GRE twice. Try to score above 300. I scored 312. Just try your best, please. Try to study well in school and graduate with a good grade. Transcript matters alot. I made merit.

Try to score a first class score in your thesis, it really really helps. Make sure atleast two of your references are from your UK university. Try to not use Nigerian professors. They don't rate our things. Its unfair but that's the way of the world.

I applied to Emory, UMCP, Ohio state university, Indiana university, Purdue, Bowling green state university, UPenn, and Penn state. Look for schools in top 150 or so. Dont go too far down. You need a top school so they can shower you with so much funding and you will be confident for interview.


Try to publish your Masters thesis before you apply, it really helps. Also I wanted to apply to 12 schools, but I stopped after my second admission offer came in.

BE CONFIDENT WHEN YOU GET THERE FOR INTERVIEW. TALK LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

GO FORTH AND CONQUER!!!!!!



No over think am, it is not rocket science.

Good day fellow nairalander, I have some question to ask and clarify about visa appointment after filling ds 160.

I did visit ustraveldocs site and it redirected to cgifederal.secure.force loading and redirected me again to atlas.my.salesforces-suites.com
I just want to know if atlas.my.salesforce-sites.com because it use to be cgifederal.secure.force.com. I just want to know if atlas.my.salesforce-sites.com is the right site to book an appointment. I need clarification from those who did there own recently, if they experience similar thing.

Your sincere contributions will be highly appreciated

No one knows yet.

Do people go to heaven or hell immediately after death OR everyone waits till the judgement day after rapture to know his/her fate?

Oh I see. The hope is that they meet at the feet of the Lord and not that he's already there.
The earlier title was misleading.

In a photo circulating on social media, Facebook to be precise, shows a guys standing beside Ebony Reigns corpse for a selfie.

The photo seems to be taken yesterday during preparation for Ebony to be laid in state when it arrived from the mortuary.

Taking a close and well look at the photo, you can see clearly that the guy intentionally posed and asked a friend of his to take a photo of him with Ebony’s corpse.

Check photo of a guys in selfie with Ebony’s corpse below….

That's how you people will not let us see husband with your yeye analysis . Your age does not determine if you will be responsible. I'm in my early twenties, I was never involved in previous marital sex and I have only dated a guy. I have never double date.

Please op, if she's responsible go for her

Thanks but how do we help you the devil's mouthpiece

Why do some people resort to "my girlfriend left me" when I was nothing, let's be realistic what father would let their daughter be pinned down to an uneducated street footballer at her early stage of life Would you ever let your own daughter She made a decision which every lady is entitled to. If reverse was the case men depending in women, how many of us would stay and be faithful in hardship and not seek sugar mummies?? Let's do table turns sometimes guys and leave this after breakthrough sentiments. After all the girl might not be made for you. Let guys talk about my wife left me and not girlfriend abeg, if leprosy has strucked the girl back then would he have married her..Happy for you though
