I need schools that do not require any test score for admission. Pls help if you can.

First time am hearing this. well it is a public uni. I checked the rating, it is not a red flag

obiaguna:
Friends please I need your help and contribution. I have actively been searching for schools in Yankee to undergo my msc program but the search has been frustrating.
Most of the schools I checked I got little or nothing pertaining to fees and graduate programs. I could hardly see a school that offered a masters degree in finance or financial management as I intend pursuing a PhD after (not certainly but just maybe) and a lot of those schools were only offering MBA's.
I am not interested in an MBA at this stage as I hardly have enough office experience.
Please for the guys that are there already, can you list some schools that have very affordable tuition (say 10-15k dolls) and schools that have actual Msc business courses.
Please I am really tired cos most of the schools websites are not very straight forward like the UK schools. Thanks y'all.

Why do so many insist on looking for school with "no tests"?
These sort of schools or colleges are either offering a dombed down education and are not liked by immigration and visa officers.
Or they require extra catch up classes which cost more than taking tests in the first place.

Are these posters too idle to take a test? how will they spend time on study if they do get a school place?

ttmacoy:
I totally feel you here. Aiming for schools tht take people with no tests will usually be lower ranked programs with not too good reputation. For international students hoping to work in the US after graduation, you are better off trying to get into programs with strong reputation and recruitment, and unfortunately these schools have high entry requirements in order to maintain the standards that attract employers.
I see the same thing here in the UK where people look for cheap and easy to get into universities, and then afterwards struggle to get jobs with employers who can sponsor them for work permit. It's a simple case of supply and demand.
a rule of thumb i tell people is if the university has a larger international student population than local students, then it is no no. You should aim for the universities where the country train their best and not mushroom colleges and universities which are cheap and have very easy entry requirements.
Employers know the schools which are strong and those which are not.

It does seem that many Nigerians have a mentality "must go to university"
To fullfill this they will go to any school in any country without working out if at the end they can get a job that will pay back the fees.

The first and second statements are somewhat contradictory even if true.
Convincing a VO that you got a fellowship without writing standardized test would be difficult to pull off.
I don't even believe it myself. sorry.
Anybody can come to nairaland and type what he /she wants.

Full funding+ stipend without writing standardized tests. LOL (RED FLAG 1)
For a Masters and not PhD....lol. (RED FLAG 2)
Fellowship for masters...Possible but very rare. GA/RA/TA common for MS Students. (RED FLAG 3)
NO PORTFOLIO SUBMITTED....Since you're a fine art student (RED FLAG 4)


LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL

Firstly, yes. You need to take standardized tests. Secondly, how did you get funding without these tests? Did you have first class at undergraduate level?

purpleproperty:



Really? Which one?

kennyrony:

Just take TOEFL

purpleproperty:



Really? Which one?

purpleproperty:



First of all, where did you get the idea that i didn't submit a portfolio?

Of course i did.

Secondly, an MFA in most cases is a terminal degree i.e. equivalent to a PHD, that is why it is different from an MA. Most schools offer fully funded MFA, google is your friend. check it out.
Three, my programme is the 2nd best for Arts in the US so the VO won't need my convincing.


I also happen to have finished top of my undergrad class here in Nigeria so of course that helps.

I don't know why you are taking it so personal when you clearly know NOTHING about MFA programs.

Everyone else, please i need information. My programme is two years but i was offered a fellowship for one year, my offer letter states i will get at least an equivalent amount in the second year but i will have to reapply.

My school requires TOEFL only, GRE isn't required at all for admission, its an arts programme after all but it(TOEFL) was waived for me. Will i still need to write it for visa purposes?
Will i also need proof of funds? How much?

purpleproperty:
Really, some people here need to calm down. I specified MFA because i know most people aren't familiar with what they entail. Instead of researching they come and start insulting people who they haven't met. Anyway, bad belle is allowed. Its not my fault I'm blessed.

Here is the link for educational purposes.

Notice where it says all admitted students get financial assistance?

ebdib:

Look, i couldn't care less man.
But when people make spurious claims on this group we call them out.
I'm not going to prove anything further.
Good luck with your ambitions.

Are you holding a resident's permit?

Dude, I care a lot less.
I got into two schools fully funded, just going with the one offering me more money. Go and jump inside the lagoon.
If i tell you how much i am getting maybe you will go and drink poison.
When people are bitter about the good fortune of people they have never met, we call them out.
Good luck living with all that bad belle.
