Mbeenox and Urch1980...Congratulations bro..My mind talk am say many visas will be granted this week

Mystiqme:


Don't worry. Your lecturers from school cannot control your GRE score, so if you believe you are 1st class or high 2:1 material, you should ace that with nothing less than 320. If you do that, you'll be able to convince the admission committee in US schools that you are better than your CGPA.

What makes you think I school in Nigeria. I have no idea of what happens in d universities. Anyway u tried.

profojah:

I have so many of them here

benjaminiyke:
please take it easy....there is no doubt we do have 1st class students in chemistry but lecturers in my dept made it very difficult for us,you schooled in Nigeria and you know what happens in our universities, am not using it as an excuse but most times these lecturers makes life difficult for us. The highest CGPA in my set was 3.76 which was 2"1. I have no regrets..I did the best I could.

Oga I have so so so many friends with first class in Industrial and pure chemistry... My mates, my juniors and my seniors from Unilag... There shouldn't be an excuse in failure...be it lecturer's faults or bulkiness of courses. So many people in the same shoes as you but they manage to come out with first class or a very close-to-first class grade.

Please if you're coming here try and use Fidelity bank BTA to get some dollars with you. Swiping your card here now is outrageous. You can't believe the exchange rate now, it's crazy especially GTBank. Fidelity will give exchange of 199.50 or 200 per $. GTBank fluctuates from 215 to 220 swiping your card.

kennyrony:

Abeg give him names and matric number make he go comfirm. Lol

hahaha ...he should go and ask for Raphael, tife, gunnerson, Trust and polymer...All these one dey club and read at d same time...

amanze15:
Guys pls how do I get to lekki phase one from ojota, abeg I no sabi lagos o just a nwafor from the east

profojah:

He was just trying to tell that you shouldnt say it wasn't easy to get a first class from your school and use that as an excuse.. Like one of my lecturer do say "No excuse in failure"...

I'm pretty sure with your cgpa, you can get admission for your Msc programme ...like amanze15 said, Selection by admission committee are been base and determined by Test score, strong sop, good recommendation letters, transcript, probably course-prequisite..And youre good to go to get admitted provided you have all these support your low cgpa...

slimmy05:
go under the bridge and meet those "agberos" there, tell them you're new in Lagos while pressing your phone and they will gladly tell you where to get one chance bus for quick movement

NB: at your own peril. They should have lekki/Ajah bus there. Innovativeame has the map of lagos with him.

benjaminiyke:
I can do much more. I know what I can do if I prepare for an exam. Thanks

benjaminiyke:
schools differ tho. I can categorically tell you that in the History of DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY no student has achieved first class in chemistry. The lecturers will come to class and even tell you themselves that no matter what you do 2"1 is the maximum. They will shrink your GPA. Lol

DeeTus:
Who helped them? Lol.

Denvan:

Hello, pls if u dnt mind, what is d name of ur school?

profojah:

Bro that was d orientation my friend got whe he got admission into Unilorin Mathematic dept, that no one has ever graduated from that dept with a first class, but he broke that record cos he was determined..while others were living and circulating around that orientation of saddist lecturer this, saddist lecturer that, he got himself packed that the jinx must be broken and he broke the record...Only first class from that dept...

benjaminiyke:
lol..I understand. it's just that I was a bit too ambitious to study pharmacy,but I think I do not have the funding to do so and consular officers knows I can't fund my program . I will go for my masters in chemistry now. I heed your advice now.

Hello Ben bro,

Admissions in the US does not depend on only one document. They believe in using several pieces of evidence to gauge the success of a potential student. So, if you have an average CGPA, you have other opportunities to make it up. Great GRE and TOEFL scores, top-notch letters of recommendations, relevant research/work experience and a sparkling SOP are some of these ways. They understand that some students are smart, but don't 'test' well, that is, they do not do well in exams. So, follow the GRE thread and ace the GRE, circulate your SOP to willing members here who can read and edit it for you, and make sure you pick lecturers who will write good letters, that accentuate your skills, not generic 'he's a good boy' letters.
I can help in anyway you want.

Best.

If you stand by that pedestrian bridge on same lane with MRS filling station, u should see a bus going to Iyana oworo/Obalende/CMS, when u get to Obalende, you'd be spoilt with enough options of buses going to Lekki/Jakande/Ajah. Board any of them and make sure you're reminding the bus conductor every 15mins that you'd come down at Lekki phase 1 o, else na Ajah market u go land.

benjaminiyke:
wow!!! Determination... Exactly what they call them in my school .SADDIST. Lol

Saddist plenty for abraka na ...Even two depts in my school, na saddists full there..Innovativeame and paulbets dept..Ask them

benjaminiyke:
our lecturers will tell you for any student to have a first class in chemistry, that student must be outstanding in practical chemistry along side the theoretical area but in situation where the school has poor laboratory equipments,how do you gauge their practical know how, which is very important in chemistry.
