sup justwise and other members of the forum,

Is it necessary for me to include my sponsor C.A.C documents for my visa application?

Yea and no but it's not a bad idea or heavy load of you include it.

Although they might ask you or not.

neurosci:


Name of sch also matters.

Dem poku... It took me a couple of weeks to come out with a list of about 12 last year. Utah Valley Uni, Brigham Young Uniersity, Dixie state uni, weber state uni, new mexico highland uni etc etc. but you are a student, you can search... Walspring also testified to this, you can ask for more schools from him, thst is if you are too busy to search.

Nairaland is not the only faceless forum. A notable forum for graduate admission is Gradcafe where people report their profile in a similar manner. By the way, what has "faceless" got to do with this?
I will report my profile when the time comes. I've gained insight to US admission by learning from others. I don't see why you should lose sleep on this. Drhopeful did it, I will do it. OGreene may choose to or may not, but that should not be your headache my dear.

LagosismyHome:



Hummmm Nairaland is faceless. Why would you need all this information of a particular person .

The deteriorating state of Nigeria should be enough inspiration to want to do well and leave . . Not someone profile

Undergrad degree – Zoology. I majored in Parasitology (the health sciences aspect). CGPA- 3.73/5.0 (3.26/4.0). Research – my final year project. Work experience – 5 years. Ministry of Health and banking. Been to some programs that center on development, knowledge of 2 foreign languages, had proper leadership training.
GRE- 302/4.0 Then re-wrote and got 307/3.5. My Quants was much better in the second one, 63 percentile. Only UMN asked for TOEFL, so I took it, 95 (R26/L25/S23/W21).
LOR: Good Profs who have become my friends plus one non-academic referee, a vast man. I didn’t see the letters. Had to use my supervisor once (emergency situation).
SOP: I wrote about how I grew up surrounded by dev issues and want to do something about them (my life mission), my health and finance knowledge, why the school stands out, what I want to focus on (major) and whom I want to work with in the dept, and how I will join UN and work to liberate poorer communities focusing on Sub-Saharan Africa. Optional letter- every other thing I have done that I could relate to dev, some extra-curricular activities. I wrote from the bottom of my heart, nothing bogus, just the way I felt about dev.

Lolzzz, am just seeing this. I already typed and pasted

Congrats Man! But I have to enter you small... Remember how you REFUSED to divulge your GRE scores despite all the appeals made on the GRE thread. Now shebi because you don get admission to top schools, you just dey display the 'poor' scores anyhow, even the ones we did not know about (I never knew you took it twice). Na real wa for you. Just wondering if revealing your scores earlier on that thread would have marred your chances of admission in any way.... Anyway, I am happy for you.

Thanks OGreene, I'm sure all graduate school hopefuls now and years to come will find this helpful. Congratulations. Top 100 world university, I'm an alumnus of one, I know that feeling Best wishes on funding.

Walspring:


Funny man, so dem tell you say me too no dey busy

baba no mind me joo... i don pm u

Whether you call this entering, na you sabi. Even b4 i got the admissions, i pasted my scores, not on this thread. Plus people i chatted with on this thread, of course you dont know all these.
Its still a voluntary thing. I didnt put up my profile in the first place, he asked that i add that, no accusations, and I dropped it. Matter finish!

I named the business administration and management again and also named the courses I did

She asked me definition of marketing environment ....I told her ...was talking with confidence ....she said sorry..... e no pain me atall cause I did all my best to make things work out then that means It's not the right time for me ...no be only Usa be country ...all am after is to make more money and to have many alternatives with the Usa of a thing like getting Canada visa too ...useless woman ...after waiting for them as if they are God...

With this HCC, you need to work harder on your visa interview and response.

I wish you all the best.

feguson123:
my people please I realy need clarification,my interview is coming up soon,mainwhile I was earlier rejected before on a B1/B2 on d application I filled married but on this one I filled seperated,if asked on d interview how do I defend it?

Just be open, sincere and truthful

slimmy2005:
Walspring, please try and send me a message on whatsapp. Thanks

I just read this and I will get back to you

ecoleco:
I have a decision to make and I will appreciate your input:

I got a PhD offer from one of the 'University of Texas' schools and I put this school under my SAFE SCHOOL category during my application.

I also got an MSc offer from Duke University but the funding will come from an external organization.

I unequivocally advise you to go with Duke. The opportunities Duke would open you up to is limitless. What I would advise while at Duke is to make the most of your time there by forming strong networks with the students, faculty and the community there and sustaining same thereafter. These will be extremely useful should you decide to return to the US after the compulsory period away must have elapsed. I'm stating these because I personally have a friend whose life has totally transformed as a result of attending Duke. I'm restrained from stating the specifics of what I mean for the sake of his privacy.

In fact, I got an application waiver to a program at Duke due to his recommendation. Even though my application this time wasn't successful as I had just about two weeks to prepare and my GRE wasn't competitive enough, I plan to reapply after boosting my scores.

Congrats on your admission to Duke and I can tell you that you will never regret going to Duke. Notice I didn't mention the Texas University simply because I don't think it's worth considering even though it's a Phd program.
