Not that I care much, but for those always screaming Trump Trump should know he actually wants international students to be able to stay in America. Yes you read right. Ted Cruz on the other hand wants to go the England way and expel international students once they are done with their studies. http://dailycaller.com/2015/12/15/ted-cruzs-bad-idea-expel-international-students-from-america/ So really, these politicians talk from both sides of their mouths. Let's just focus on doing our best in our respective fields. If you're the best, you'll be valued wherever you are. I for one think there are lots of opportunities in Nigeria if you are well positioned. It's easier to be a pioneer here. |

Fortissimo: Dude stop this "stay back in Nigeria" or "come back to Nigeria after studies" thing before KARMA catches up with you. You're still in Nigeria. When you come here and see how things are, I'll be curious to know if you still hold this same position within 6 months. Peace. |

halidaf: Yeah, it wouldn't hurt to mention it if asked about scholarship. BTW, be prepared for the following follow-up question: 1) How do you intend to pay the remaining part of your tuition? "possible response: e.g. My uncle/My dad or so will help out with the remaining part of the tuition". If it is not someone that is directly related to you, you should have enough reason why the person will choose to invest a huge amount of money in your education. 2) What's the person into? or What's the annual income of the person? etc. "I wouldn't advise you to lie but say something realistic " 3) How did you get the scholarship? Even if you didn't do anything, I think it would be nice to say something like "I guess they were impressed with the quality of admission materials that I sent to them --> follow up with ejo wewe " 3 Likes |

purplesummer: Brief answer, Yes! To the best of my knowledge, it depends on the kind of assistantship you are offered. If you are lucky to secure a full assistantship (in forms of TA or RA), you will have to work for 20 hours per week and your tuition will be fully covered. On the other hand, if you are offered a half assistantship, you will work for 10 hours per week and half of your tuition will be covered. Either way, you will still have to pay some miscellaneous bills. I would advise you to always be prepared for the worst case scenario. About the terms, it's almost the same as getting it before coming to school. 2 Likes |

unclev: Good things don't come easy. You are really close to sorting it all out. Just keep on reminding your professors. Either way, you can mail the school and ask if they waive the right to see your recommendation letters (I don't think it's a bad idea). The response can determine your next course of action. Good luck |

Basquiatttt: How should I start self? Well, GA is not automatic . I am a CCNP and I really doubt they used that as a yardstick (in my case). However, I know three things can get you assistantship; 1) Your profile (GRE, GPA, SOP, etc.) 2) Your experience (if you have some industrial experience or you have published a paper) and 3) Availability of funding. Of all, the third seems to be the most difficult to predict. My school used to have a lot of funding for MS in CS (but not anymore). However, I am almost certain you will get full funding if you come for MS in maths, physics or chemistry (My friends with way lower profile than myself got full funding before coming over). So if I told you that there is no funding in my school, you will automatically assume there is no funding in all departments. Funding is in cycle! Solution: 1) The best thing you can do is to do a lot of background research about some schools. Sincerely with your profile, you should choose some good low ranked schools to boost your chances. 2) Send an email to all the professors in the dept (I can send a good template that I have been using to you - you may need to review some of their research papers tho). 3) Pray to God! Good luck! 2 Likes |

gunther6: Chief thanks for your comment. I wasn't trying to influence anyone's opinion about America. I was just stating my opinion. So I wasn't proselytizing. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Everyone has their life to lead, decisions to make and ambitions and future plans. I was just sharing mine. Apologies to any who got rubbed off the wrong way by them. Mekurexx would bear me witness that it appears in this thread, the only people "allowed" to comment on America are people that are there already. I won't be commenting further on this and would likely be leaving this thread. Anyone that needs my assistance in anyway (e.g. SoP review) should please mention or PM. To bigfrancis21, imperiouxx, emmanuel, cutemorgan, slimmy2005 and the host of others I've benefited from, I say a big thank you. All the best, everyone. 3 Likes |

Fortissimo: You can still state your opinion - that's why it is your opinion. This is a public thread and quite a number of people come around just to read comments and suggestions. I guess what folks around here don't like is when people show off ('cos they've passed through that cycle) but I don't think you did. Hence, I urge you to reconsider (no man is an island).

Felt I should share... Was in Benin Republic yesterday to pay for my sevis fee, pls kindly note dis before heading to seme: 1. Don't think of putting the money in ur account to withdraw by ATM wen u get dia, Nigeria cards don't work in Benin Rep. Hold the cash with u as dia is an exchange point near the ecobank to change ur money. 2. Note that dia is an ecobank at the Nigeria side before crossing the border to Benin Rep, dat ecobank don't accept sevis fee. 3. Be sure u av ur coupon number, sevis number and ur international passport to process ur transaction. 4. To cross the border and coming back, hold close to #4000 as I was surprise at the rate in which border authorities extort people, pls make sure ur passport is stamped, don't fall victim as dia r bike men that will tell u to pay #600 to cross without stamping ur passport. 5. Sevis fee in Benin Rep is CFA130,000 which is about #70,000. 6. It is advicable u leave home early as I spent 4hrs to d border from Egbeda, while the bank closes by 5pm Nigeria time. Thanks and best of luck 5 Likes |

Fortissimo:Don't leave this forum please. This is simply online thing and no one will take away your dignity. There had been some sorts of negativity about me here as well yet I remain very strong. Some people even called me a criminal meanwhile they are the real criminals and are also on dating websites with fake profiles. One of their members impersonated me but I had to use one of my numerous skills in IT to get his identity. Don't let that bother you because they do not own Nairaland. |
