Hello people, I need advice.

I had my BSc (education) in chemistry education I'm 2011 and since then, I have been saving up to study my masters in the USA. I have managed to save 2 million naira. I approached an agent based on a Facebook advert and he said he can help me to get a cheap college with tuition fees of $4000 or less. And he wants the charge me 400k as his service charge.

A whole 400,000?, I got scared and I decided to talk to someone who told me to visit student visa section on nairaland and all my problems will be resolved and I won't need to pay a dime to any agent.

So please I need help/ advice.


I graduated with 2.2, cgpa of 2.73

I have saved 2 million naira.

I wanted to study MSc in any science education course. Or educational leadership or educational technology.


I need help on any school that it's fees and tuition falls in my savings.

I need help on how to access and apply for scholarships.

I need help on accommodation in the school community in other to relieve me of hostel fees.

I just need help generally.


Please don't ignore my post...

I need everyone's advice and suggestions.

Thanks

One at a time, don't get overwhelm. To start with, you need to dig deep on what you want to study. If you'd be getting an MSc in Chemistry, there are schools that would fund you for the program. What you've saved should be enough for you to take exams, apply to schools, and travel to the US.

For now, focus on preparing for the GRE. Go here: https://www.nairaland.com/1832477/how-achieve-high-scores-gre

Welcome!

Thanks for the response. Pls is it possible to do MSc in chemistry when I have my BSc in chemistry education?

Yes it is possible if you have a solid background in chemistry. How many credit hours of organic, physical, inorganic and analytical did you do?In this case, what's your cgpa in those chemistry courses, or how were your grades like

Who told you that the first step to becoming a doctor in the US is Nursing? And Biology does not have to be your major to get into medical school. You can study any course you like, even Yoruba, and still go to medical school; just make sure you follow the pre-med track by taking the premed prerequisites. So, it's always advisable that you study the major you find very easy if you want to get into medical school, because a high GPA is necessary.

Dear all, please I have a challenge, someone in the US paid for my SEVIS fee on Wednesday via mail (money order). I have been tracking it and recently got notification (yesterday) that it has been delivered. I understand Saturday is a non working day for SEVP, however my interview is for Wednesday ( i.e 3 days time). I am a bit scared that the processing of the SEVIS fee might take long and may not be out by Tuesday. As such, I will like to know how long it will take (the money order having been delivered), before I am able to go online to check status and print confirmation. Will it be online on or before Tuesday? Assuming it is not, how flexible is the cancellation and rescheduling process? Can I cancel and still reschedule for this week or will only a longer date be made available to me?

I will appreciate your feedback.

Thank you.

Don't stress much sir, since it has been delivered it should be cleared on Monday. so check your mail by tomorrow let's say 6pm

Oops, I'm sorry. I now totally understand you. Nursing is your backup plan, in case you don't go to med school.

I don't have my transcript yet. But out of averagely 10 courses I do per semester. Like 4 us chemistry, 2 is industrial chemistry, 2 is analytical chem. Just 1 or 2 is educational courses. I did much of chem than education.


Please after passing the GRE, what is the next step?

phawwaz:
yeah

Yes, you can do that, though I'm afraid it will be one hell of a workload to combine med school prereqs with Nursing sch prereqs. Just search out schools that offer Nursing and Pre-med like University of St Thomas, Houston, and you may email them about your goals.

Don't be scared and if payment quickly clear on Monday then receipt will be online.

Why don't you use WU if I may ask and why MO ?

lasthero:

Yes, it is. Because you'd have taken courses in your Chemistry undergrad. Check the grad admission pages of some schools to check their reqs. And their FAQs.

Professor turns agent..

No be small thing oo

You need your transcript.
First you need to calculate your gpa in those chemistry courses only. This is gonna be different from your overall cgpa with those education courses. If you have a good gpa in chemistry courses only, you can go for masters. If not, I'd suggest you go for education because you might be required to take some pre-requisites in chemistry.
At this stage, I think what you need is an MSc, not a PhD. For chemistry, you can check East Tennessee state university
Middle Tennessee State University, Missouri State University, University of Nebraska Lincoln and other schools. Look for their admission requirements if you meet up with them.
Plan writing the GRE and Toefl and submit your applications for fall 2018 latest by december 2017.

hmmm it was my dream to study in a us based school since i was in j.s.s1. And i started researching about them even before i entered s.s1 i have a list of schools am applying to though i have decided to go as a transfer student. My point is rely on God and do a lot of research you will find what you want and not someone giving you what you may not like later on, you are not going to be a kid for ever that you won't be able to look after urself

You're safe. So far the fee was delivered. Send an email to fmjfee.sevis@ice.dhs.gov stressing the date of your interview, and how things might pan out.

If you cancel, you'll only get the next available date.

Your call.

Thanks a lot, this is very useful.

Good day to both silent members and the active ones, please i need some enlightenment, em using an agent for my Visa processing right from the admission stage, the man told me i should not bother about any exam(TOEFL/GRE), and nao i have two Uni admission
Grand Valley university(MI) and Gannon university(PA), please i will need information about this schools.
all money already paid and hes working on booking an appointment.
Thanks

If you like yourself and your career, book your appointment yourself. Whatever you've paid him till now might not be refundable, but at least you still have a chance to put the right information on your DS-160. Those agents can damage your chances of ever coming to the US, once they fill in false information about you. That is more important now than the subject of whether or not to take GRE/TOEFL.
Even those schools sound like one-building schools. Have you checked their tuition? Do you have that money? What course are you going for?
