EkemNgo: I THINK you should "Get your i20 from school, together with SEVIS confirmation & visa appointment. Try emailing or calling the embassy and see how it goes." Otherwise, repost your situation and wait for advice from the elders in the house. |

Baabu320: I really think Germany is a good location. You could get your Bachelors & Masters there and move to USA for PhD. But if you like the USA better & would like to move now, still fine. What I don't understand is why you think anyone will list cheap schools for you to apply to...you didn't even post any course to start with!� There's more than 200 pages of this current thread. Go through it, you'll see a lot of schools. Use google to start your search. Finally, ask specific questions if you have to but don't expect to be spoon fed. Best wishes. 6 Likes |

SmartJac:Its quite obvious that the sponsor is the reason for the denial. Family friend is really a long shot. Feel free to drop a better transcript with your full profile for others to advice. 1 Like |

I really don't understand how someone will come here, gain so much info, reach out to people here and those schooling in different US schools for guidance and assistance, get massive help only to get admission/visa approval, and start hiding their courses, schools and whatever! Cos if you can share your profile before applying & gaining admission, why can't you post your profile afterwards to inspire and give hope to others? E no just make sense!!! FYI: USA is accepting a whole lot of people now, so whether you share or not, you'll see a fellow Nigerian in that your school & department o! Tilll we all win!!�� 27 Likes 1 Share |

Omotomi05: let me try to answer you: 1. I believe most schools offer assistantships to the BEST pool of applicants who sent in EARLY applications. Regardless, you can always email them requesting info regarding funding &scholarships. They may even issue an assistantship form for you to fill. All in all, just send in a STRONG EARLY Application. 2. Yes you can use same SOP for multiple applications as long as it's same course and level of study. But be sure to edit some critical parts like name of school, research areas and Professors for every new application. Asides that, you're good. I hope this helps. 4 Likes |

This is tricky, if you haven't received asst'ship yet and they have already requested for POF, it maybe that they aren't considering you for assistanship despite admission. For example, when I was emailed to show proof of fund, I emailed back that I already had scholarship and then got a reply that it has not been approved by graduate school and hence cannot be used for POF. Took me about a week to email my department, graduate school and international office to clear things out. My i20 bears my GA/tuiton waiver. I think if you're positive about receiving it then don't rush to send BS, cos that is what your i20 will bear but if you can well afford it while hoping to get asstship in future, go for it. dunsinunchained: 4 Likes |

O: have you traveled before outside 9ja before? Me:no, I've not had a tangible reason to do so. V. O: why USA? Me: I believe that academic experience in the USA is something unquestionable and a Degree from a reputable university there is widely valued by all countries. Most schools offer excellent research opportunities and maintain optimum theoritical and practical efficiency. V. 0:Why cuw? Me:cuw is a premier university in north America. I was impressed by the curriculum, faculty staff, the state of the art computing resources made available by the school and also, the input expertise employed by the school to ensure students actually gain relevant and respected knowledge for future applications. I actually exchanged mails with Dr. Locklair where he intimated me about the increasing application of IT in research and innovations. This gave me joy. V. O: tell me about your study plan? Me: I'll be obtaining a masters in IT, after completing a total of 39 credit hours within a period of 24 months. Some of the course I'll be taking include introduction to informatics, foundational information technology, applied artificial Intelligence and data management...

Me: no, (thing is I'm actually waiting for my TOEFL score download link.. Wrote recently.) V.

IT will improve me technically, analytically and advance my computational prowess, making me more valuable in increasing demand of professionals with not just vocational but also technological skills in Nigeria. I'll be better equipped to work with high profile and multinational companies like eunisell, indorama etc while making plans to setup a technologically driven enterprise in the long run. (Scrutinize) V. O: who's your sponsor? Me:my cousin V.

I can't think of a more selfless platform than nairaland. I had to speed read a good number of threads before I could truly understand the energy y'all putting up here... To the GURUs and other contributors, God bless y'all immensely. I have learnt a lot and truly understood the power of TOEFL, GRE, GMAT and high CGPA (I had a 4.03/five though) in regards to funding/scholarships/GAs. Since June, I've actually been on a lone wolf shit, doing the whole process myself and with help from a friend there, plus I wrote/called the school wella. Discovering nairaland wowed me. Well, I'm currently going for masters in information technology @ Concordia university Wisconsin (no TOEFL or GRE required). With a B. Eng. Degree. My Interview is loading come 01/18... Although I now know a lot of things I could have done better(OPTION WISE), I'd still hope for the best at current interview and leave the rest to God. So far I have seen the need to work on : Why CUW why MS IT what will the course do for you What's the rship to your first degree And what I'll do when I return. As I write... I'm seriously tensed while trying to figure out better answers to them. I'll try to churn out a likely transcript for your individual perusal ASAP. Bless. 2 Likes |
