It’s been a while I posted here. I wanted to share that I have a GRE voucher I’d like to gift someone. Reach out and let me know why I should give it to you and it’s all yours. Good luck |

subset: I'm interested pls. Want to apply for PhD but with the burden of WES and the likelihood of applying 3 schools, I will really appreciate that voucher. Thanks |

Hi Guys, Please I need your opinions and suggestions. Do you think it would be beneficial to have my Dad's company sponsor me to study abroad with the intention of learning skills and returning to take up a higher paying role? or would that be considered a red flag to the VOs because it is my Dad's comapny? Thank you so much for your help! |

Ronaldoguy: Wow. Just wow. Why are you people like this for Gods sake? So because he/she graduated with a third class they can’t pass GRE? What sort of reasoning is this?! Do you know what circumstances led to the 3rd class? Y’all just open mouth. Smdh 4 Likes |

orlahtohbadt: MamaOO:My post is not to deride you or any 3rd class graduate, everyone deserves a second chance and many things could have lead to ur 3rd class (I know a friend who dropped out due to finance issues). That said, the voucher is just one, let him give it to anyone with a scholarstic profile but lacks the required funds for GRE, that way everyone will be certain the voucher will be put to good use. As for you, ur 3rd class could be a result of ur poor studying skills and also because u did not pay for the GRE u may end up bottling it for the same reason that made u end up with a 3rd class. Life is hard its just the bitter truth and that is why scholarship bodies look out for some scholarstic profile before awarding scholarships because they know every failure will have an excuse for their failure, so opportunities like this are not meant for people like u, truth is bitter. 2 Likes |

Ronaldoguy: I also know someone who graduated with a third class, simply because she was very beautiful. She was the target of every lecturer in her department and beyond and was victimized because she refused to give it up for marks or anything in the world at the time. A couple of others had poor scores again, because they weren't privy to the existing underground connects/agents recruiting clients for sorting lecturers. Those are bitter truths too. The person seeking to gift the voucher is not a scholarship board and just wanted to know why anyone would need it. It was really tacky to have stood on your little soap box to vet and rule out who was deserving and who wasn't. Especially as the offer wasn't yours to give. His GPA upgrade might even be a WES evaluation away, for all you know. 6 Likes |

Ronaldoguy: Bros, this your yarn no just follow abeg. I don't know if you purposely said all these things to get noticed - fine, you've been noticed. Don't pull a brother down because you want to sound anything but intelligent. 3rd class or not, there is no end to learning and improvement. 5 Likes |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by MamaOO: 11:57am On Oct 23, 2023 |
Rocktation: Right?! It irks me when people just talk without putting a thought to their words! I graduated with a third class due to several reasons. I did GRE and scored 306, TOEFL 106 and evaluated my transcript with WES. I got a graduate assistantship my second semester in the US, finished that masters with a 3.46/4.0 GPA (STEM course). Went back for my second masters after a few years and graduated with a 4.0/4.0 GPA. I’m currently doing my PhD in Computer and Information Science while also working full time If I had met people like that one early in my pursuit, I’ll still be in square one. Because you graduated with a first class or second class upper gives you zero rights to deride others. Humble yourself before life does it for you. It doesn’t cost a cent to watch your words, measure it carefully and treat fellow humans with respect. Don’t hide under the guise of anonymity of the internet to perpetuate unkindness. 20 Likes |

MamaOO: He's simple-minded, is all. On this very nairaland, someone has reported his GPA as a 3.0/4 after conversion with WES from a 2.3/5, yes. So while some people with above a 3.0 probably thought they had it better, they were being evaluated to a 2.9/4...making the dude with a 2.3 laugh last. Again, aren't people steadily getting direct fully funded PhD admits, with our Nigeria's definition of a third class? Does he even know how the last 60 credit hours thing works? Even for applications to the scholarship bodies he yapped about...his GPA might be higher than the skies, but someone with a spectacular writing technique would bag that scholarship with their essay...then he'd be left to carry his GPA on his head. He's simple minded, like I said. 4 Likes |

Today was mass denial, literally everyone including myself was denied in Lagos. Here is my transcript with the Fat Hairy Man Dike: Good morning officer VO: (Smiling) Good morning and please can I have your I-20 Dike: Here you go officer VO: Why did you choose this course Dike: I chose this course because my country has a problem with crime and with criminology I get to know why this crimes are being created, I get to know how they are being committed and the most important thing I get to how to tackle it as I am very passionate about the safety of my country VO: Why did you choose this school? Dike: I chose this school because it has a criminal research center and with this, it will expose how criminal minds work to me as I will be taught with criminal cases and this will also prepare me to tackle criminal and crimes in the real world and most importantly my beloved country VO: What’s your post graduate plan Dike: To come back home to work with one of the top two agencies fighting crime which are Efcc and Dss (I told this man the full acronym ooo) he nodded as if say 🥹🥹🥹 VO: Then he asked me who will be sponsoring and what does he do Dike: I said my dad and after he asked what he does for a living, I answered and said he owns a company na so this man ask how many workers, just to say something which I told I am wrong I told him 1k workers!! He screamed 1000 na so baba say sorry bla bla I felt bad but then you need to see how everyone was denied today, during my time there I didn’t see white paper to anyone and all windows were active |

Even me, I screamed and laughed at the 1,000 workers. Maybe you didn't lie, the description you gave about what your dad do doesn't warrant such. 1 Like |

MamaOO:He might think he had done me a disservice but he has actually motivated me. I do not even need a voucher to prove my worth. I wonder why I put myself out here with asking to be considered for the voucher. In another news, I just finished another degree in this same Nigeria although another university and I’m at the verge of making a first class this time. 7 Likes |

Hi guys, Went through the Sevis Fee payment for a friend and tried using Western union quick Pay. It's meant to be on the Pay bill, but for some reason is not. Thus it's to be paid in any western union location in USA physically. Just tell them to search for SEVIS FEE on Pay bill if they don't know of it. Just an Update. Anyone can clear it further. |

Ronaldoguy: While GPA might be directly linked to GRE performance, there are other factors too that could count not limited to why s/he had a 3rd class, his/her level of preparation for the GRE amongst others. It is best you let the one who owns the voucher decide if he is the one who gets the voucher. 2 Likes |

Dike987:Sorry for the denial. Your answers were just too simplistic. I think your inability to explain your father’s occupation played a major role here. There are certain parts you must explain exhaustively. Sponsorship and funding is one. And you might wanna rephrase your reason for choosing the course, every country has a problem with crime (except Iceland 😁) so your reason for choosing the course is not that spectacular. |

Gadgetmobil: There is also the Pay4me app which you can use to pay your SEVIS fee in local currency like naira. The transaction is seamless and easy and you do not need to be in the USA to pay it. Check out more about Pay4Me on the google play store or App store for iOS devices 1 Like |
