Note:

If any nairalander is interested in doing a PhD in Nuclear Engineering. University of Tennessee, Knoxville Department of Nuclear Engineering is experiencing a shortage of applicants and students. They do have a generous funding tho. In case anybody is interested. I have attached screenshots of the email and flyer. Good luck applicants.

Please has anybody use his/her GTB Naira mastercard in the US this year?
Thanks

I used my Gtb card to buy some things on amazon which I will get today but I bought them two days ago. I think the restrictions was only limited to ATM withdrawal, since I can shop online

gtb 270 yesterday

To add to what AKO1 said.... Make sure your savings is enough for all the expenses listed on your I-20 for the first year.

And more importantly, try to find the relationship between your undergraduate degree/work experience and MsPM. E.g. integration of Accounting and Administration into Project management.

Why this course? It will equip me with the skill and systematic understanding of management related issues to seek advanced leadership position in our Accounting and Administration sector. ( Here: this is you reminding the VO of your work experience and its relationship with Project management by just stating the scope of Project management to that field)

I hope this helps.

Good luck and God bless you.

You have a good travelling history, but try and ignore the bolded. words. Never you tell the VO you will fund your studies through on-campus job, cos that's not a good response, as the money you will be earning through campus job can or might only cater for your accommodation and feeding.
Secondly Car Document is not a genuine document to present at the embassy, as that can't be a source of income for you when you are away. car is not an asset, it a liability. and
lastly .Telling the VO you will be staying with a friend might not be the best answer. You are a Graduate student, why not tell him/her you will be staying off campus or in school apartment. Telling the VO you will be staying with a friend might look as if you are not capable or financially buoyant.

I wish you all the best.

SophiaLisa:
Thanks alot.

I'd take out those points.

However, should I state where I'd be stayine i.e off campus? or should I just mention that.

Hi everyone,

I have got a question: Please, what is the best (and probably cheapest) way for someone who graduated from a school of nursing to further her studies in the US? I don't know jack about medical/nursing sciences.

cc Imperiouxx, MsNas, Zeezah, slimmy05, bbdd, bigFrancis21...

bigfrancis21:


N270 for online transactions in dollars or buying dollars from gtb (if they now sell)?

Mjseun:


Thank you dannybrown19, I just want to know about the ATM withdrawal. Using the card online to buy stuffs won't pay some of my expenses here. How successful is wire transfer to University account now using GTB? Do you know anybody who did that while outside Nigeria?

Thank you for the information given earlier
