Yeah she went to an Ivy. It was all God...cuz the thousands that applied and she got picked for Chemical Engineering was amazing! The good thing about Ivys is access to top organizations. We thank God...Nahh Ivy's are expensive besides I had particular states in mind plus other factors.. Yeah Fall by God's grace.. Just chilling for decisions.. And currently preparing for GRE.

Mekurexx: Ok but she probably got funding ryt? Since hers was Chem eng. How come u waiting for decisions n still preppin for GRE? Or is the GRE for visa purposes? What states are you looking at? |

She transferred from Oberlin to Columbia... And d funding was not full. But she did an internship with AIG,got retained after grad... But she too like book so she decided to do her masters. Also one tin esp for those applying for jobs, some org look out for some things asides academics & "skills". Part of the AIG requirement was having a valid drivers license active for about a year plus knowing how to drive(even tho they pay for ur flights and accommodation) its part of their requirements. I applied to schools in Texas & California +canny. And yeah GRE is partly for visa, funding & also i need to slowly work my way back into classroom mode..so u digg... Most of the programs i applied for are researched based so having a research experience(scoring an A) in UG or research interests waves off GRE & some didnt require it.. Fortissimo: |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 10:23am On Feb 24, 2016 |
Mekurexx: Ah I see. She get mouth! Texas is still very southy o. But I guess u have ur reasons. I hear cali is even costlier to live in than NY. I had a very challenging experience with my canny apps last year but I'm sure yours will be better. When it comes down to choosing, would you prefer US or Canada? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by paulbets: 10:27am On Feb 24, 2016 |
Fortissimo:abi na. Thank God you are two feet in now... The rest will go down well too |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 10:33am On Feb 24, 2016 |
paulbets: Thanks so much. I'm sure you'll get at least 2 positive responses back. I dunno if the gurus in the house will cosign this, but I don't think it hurts to do a follow up mail to ur schools to show u r still interested. R u based in lag? Where r u serving n when r u back? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by paulbets: 10:49am On Feb 24, 2016 |
Fortissimo:Amen o. And the thought had crossed my mind, so i called them some couple of weeks back., they all said they are still in review and will get back to me by march ending. Etsu that i applied to since last november, the associate dean of graduate studies mailed me last friday saying she's just got my file now and they will start reviewing in the next 4 to 6 weeks. Fingers are crossed. And yes i base in lagos but serving in niger state. |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Mekurexx: 11:56am On Feb 24, 2016 |
Yeah it depends. But funny thing is i made my mind up about US after watching one video of Chimamanda speaking at a graduation.It sort of made me make my mind up. Economic reality its canada but i did a good research about the schools so its def US. But for PhD i think Canada is a better destination for applicants... That my canada application is prayers, but thanks for the good words! Looks like you be efiko, you applying for PhD too i guess Fortissimo: |

Pls can someone suggest universities i can apply to with 277 GRE score? My GPA is 3.98/5.0 . |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by imperiouxx(m): 2:22pm On Feb 24, 2016 |
malory84: With that cgpa, you should be able to do better in GRE if you can re write it, else, that takes you no where. Best! |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by bigfrancis21: 2:45pm On Feb 24, 2016 |
malory84: To be honest, 277 is such a poor score that i'm sure no school would accept you for admission with such score. The least score one can obtain in GRE is 260, that is if you did not write anything, which is equivalent to 0 on a scale of 100 and the highest score is 340, which is equivalent to 100 on a scale of hundred. And you scored 277/340 which is equivalent to 20/100 or so. Let's be honest, you think a school would have such low requirement of 20/100 for admission? My suggestion to you is to retake the GRE test and this time be serious about it. The GRE test is something that requires, at least, a month of intense preparation and there is a trick to taking it. Also, you would not know the doors a good GRE score opens up for you before and even after you arrive America. 1 Like |

imperiouxx: Thank you very much for your response. I know i can do better, but the quantitative section is worrisome. I am very poor when it comes to Mathematics. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by rogerdavid: 3:02pm On Feb 24, 2016 |
sean622: Oh! Sorry about that. I think they say on their website that you can re-apply after seven (7) days? Or isn't that workable? And by the way, did they give any reason(s) for the denial? Good luck Sean622! |

bigfrancis21: Thanks a lot 2bigfrancis21. I know my scores are really low. Had 144 in Verbal, 133 Q and 4.5 Analytical writing. The truth is i had less than a month prep. I can retake the test but the Quantitative section is really scary and when it comes to Mathematics, on a scale of 1/10, i am between 1&3. With that said, how long do you think i need to study to improve on it, and what are the tricks to acing it? Between, i am looking at Strategic Communication Program , Public Administration,targeting fall admissions and most of the schools have April to May deadlines. |
