Why do you want to verify by post when it can be done via that same email you want to avoid reaching your registrar? It's so simple. Put a call through to WES asking for the date a verification email was sent to your school/registrar. That's what your registrar or whoever is in charge of the school email needs to find your WES email quickly and respond. I understand how expensive it is to call WES from Nigeria because it takes time before the call is answered. You can pm your WES ref # and I'll call them on your behalf.

Call wes, maybe they would pick up when dollar becomes a naira. Presently I have someone in thick issue with wes. She would waste airtime only for them to tell her to mail that they don't reply. They have verified documents, now they are doing reverification. She has sent her transcripts to wes since November, now nothing!. She even paid extra 70$ for them to use courier in making things faster till now they do like it's a robot that does the evaluation.

Wes service has been really bad recently. But if you have a way of reaching them faster I would appreciate.

Thank you for that.Verification is complete though,whats left is for my school to reply WES by sending back the verified copy of transcript.i am looking at paying the guy in charge to use courier instead of the normal NIPOST.but want to verify if this can be a problem.i sent you a PM by the way.

Hi all, are there any university that can take a CGPA of 3.55/5 for Msc degree in a science field?

I already did toefl. Doing gre soon. Thanks.

3.55/5 is above the required GPA for a good number of schools. So now you'll need to make a list of schools that offer your desired program and then continue to reduce the list by such factors as

1-Funding opportunity
2-Ranking of program
3-Job prospects after graduation
4-Environmental factors
5-Tuition and Living expenses

This list is actually endless but I'm sure you get the idea. Good luck!

Thanks for the response.

I saw requirements of A minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0 (4.0 scale) and 3.0 in the major.

How do I convert to this 4 scale GPA?

You're welcome.

You can get an estimate of what your GPA would be on a 4 point scale if you employ the services of WES. Below is the link www.wes.org/students/igpacalc.asp

All you have to do is enter the grade and credit load of every course taken in school as it appears on your transcript- assuming you've got one handy.
I hope this helps?

I saw 440 as selling rate, I was shocked!

It still looks unbelievable to me. I was calculating how to exchange for cutthroat 650 towards Fall2017 program.

Don't be decieve,in the next few days or week,it will go high again.

Things can actually work if these guys are committed to turning around the country.

It is the same course I did in my undergrad thou, I just hope they won't throw one mighty question from their end sha..lol

No they won't and it will be friendly and interesting

Was just apprehensive. When it comes to Nigeria, anything could happen. Nigeria as an entity is really un-predictable.

Definitely watching CBN with side eyes. In a week it will be back to status quo........as in you go to banks and they continue to hoard the dollar due to demand/supply taking it back to square one or where it was last week....

anyway let enjoy the high naira , things have gotten way too expensive in Nigeria so this is good news

Cynic alert!

I have a feeling you want the exchange rate to keep getting bad. Perhaps, you benefit from round-tripping it. This is most certainly the reason even good policies fail in Nigeria- because someone somewhere is devising means to circumvent it.

I saw a subsequent post where you stated you are an ex-banker. If that is true, you should know that the FG had been pumping in FX (as much as they could) but the exchange rate kept getting worse because they prioritized manufacturers who in turn were re-selling said FX back through the BMs in order to make outrageous profits.

Well, the CBN Governor has changed methods and now FX is released to benefit school tuitions and PTA amongst other school related things so I am optimistic it will work and LAST. One reason I feel so is because the FX for the tuition will not be handed to the customer but will be wired directly to the respective schools who will have a hard time re-wiring money to the customer (if they wanted to be disingenuous) seeing that they could face money-laundering crimes in their country.

Please preach on! They'd be attacking me as if I wished Nigeria and Nigerians bad. Citizens of other countries, even though they live in the US, will never hope their country's currency continues to fall in value.
Someone came to the US in 2014 when the rate was 180 or less, and expects students who want to come now to pay N520. They would only be looking from one perspective. To be fair, one must consider all views. See iCool said he had been calculating how he'd get Dollars for over N600. Come on!
We here in the US know that the Naira is not that of little value compared to the Dollar. In Walmart, one flimsy set of toothpicks costs over $1. In Nigeria, you could buy ten of that same quality with N500. N500 to $1 is a lie, big lie. Even though Dollar is so scarce, why should it get above N500? There's no rationale to it.
I work here in the US, the people in Nigeria also work as well to earn Naira, so no one should say the Dollar they are earning was earned through hard work. Is the Naira Nigerians earning earned via soft work??

It is a pity you dont understand Nigeria economy and the political elites(cabals).
Let us wait and see if my prediction will come to pass or not.
Fyi,out of the $500m disburse to banks,they were only able to get $370m,where is the remaining $130m,we don't know.

The 3 things killing our economy are :

Corruption.

Lack of strong economic team/good economic policy.

Too much dependent on importation.

SURGEE:


Very true boss. I guesss she's very right then. I'll just advice her to do something that revolves around that course first, thhenn shift base after graduation. If she can do something like criminal justice or psychology, or what program. Do you think sshe can go for as a prerequisite.

Forget about these political elites so to speak because all of them are selfish, criminals and have nothing spectacular to offer. They have decided to always take what belongs to the people. The people have been crying to the most Powerful to judge these crazy politicians.

God's judgement is that only if they return what belongs to the people, they too will never have peace.

Nature is really balanced!
