Hello House,

I wrote my GRE last year. q151 v149 A4.0

i stopped the applications along the way because i diverted some of the money intended for use then.

I am considering re writing the GRE and also TOEFL

Some schools i tried contacting wants me to evaluate my transcript. Most of the schools are in south dakota.

Intended study is M.ed Curriculum and Instructions, 3.17/5

WES free evaluation: 3.02/4.0

I intend to use IERF. DO THEY BOOST GPA TOO ?. sad sad sad

Any advice...

10th of August

Joeluv,
men I was shocked at the rate of increase of these flight fares! Just last week, I had a 279k fare to JFK.

The best I saw for Washington Dulles on 10th August was 400k with Wakanow on Royal Air Maroc. You might also want to consider flying to JFK New York (which is usually cheaper than washington) and then a Bus trip to Washington if that's your final destination. Just a thought you might want to check out.
All the best!

Please, Is the Yellow fever certificate or card a requirement for boarding a flight?
Thanks.

They usually require this at the airport. You could pick it up for 2k or less at the Ministry of Health and the staff there will also administer some immunizations to you.

best,

Hey guys please I need your help on something. I've applied to a u.s university for this fall and I was notified through email that I'm admissible by my profile and I need to send my sponsor's bank statement to complete the admission process. The thing is that money goes in and out of my sponsor's account and presently the account balance is not up to the balance needed by the school and it'll likely remain so till the end of this month. The question I want to ask from the gurus of this thread is if it is possible to have the school direct my admission process to January instead of the fall semester which I applied for because I'm expected to send the bank statement before the 20th of this month. So that by the time my sponsor's bank statement is ready all I'll need to do is send my bank statement to complete the admission towards January instead of fall semester.
Expecting your expedited response, thanks

I am of the opinion that you should explain this to the school as you did here.

The gurus can respond as well.

My Oga its seems UTA doesn't allow for external health insurance policy. please what are the alternatives if any sir.

Actually, they still accept waivers. Only has to be ACA compliant (started when Obamacare went into effect). Check healthcare.com. The popular one I think is the UnitedHealth balanced HSA 3000C-it's cheaper and I think satisfies all their minimum requirements. You might have to pay extra $60 for Global Emergency Services coverage, but still cheaper nonetheless.

Hello house. Please I need info on accelerated bsn programs or anyone who has done it. I am currently taking pre requisites courses in a community college in Alabama and I'm looking to join a program by January. I'm open to both public or private schools around the country but preferrably the south. My friends say
they are highly competitive. Can anyone suggest schools with high international student acceptance rate? Any other helpful advice would be welcomed. Thanks

VO didn't give him reasonable time to defend himself could that be as a result of not detailed job profile on DS160?

I could be a lot of things. Keep reading through this thread, and earlier ones. That'd give you tips and confidence for the next interview.

Temitope746:

July 3: Visa denied
July 10: Visa Approved
Appointment: 7am
Remark: It can only be God. Gods grace and favour with prayers.
Appreciation: I appreciate all NL family, all that stood by me, Mr Texrem, Mr John, all that message me and make comment on my denied transcript. You are to much. And most importantly. I give it all to God.

I got to the embassy around 5:30 am. Skipping to the checking point. My name was note found on the book for scheduled interview. I was asked to go sit down(20-30 minute thereabout) , for my mind, I said I am done today. Yet I fight it back in my spirit. I was later called up that my name dey system, so I was cleared to go. Got to the judgement room for screening and biometric. Submit docs for screening, then hurried to the rest room to do the usual and pray once more because I already met and seen people wey dey frown face with blue paper. For inside toilet, I dey hear my name, lagbaja come to window 14, I sit down for rest room dey do d tin dey go. Finally I came out after 5min. The whole room put eye on me, na u dem dey call since. I hurried to 14, she then ask me to bring my doc. Is this how to fill a form, na wetin she ask, she then ask me some questions I replied and she typed. I knew say na my ds160 she was referring to. I forgot biometric, I was later called out of line by the Cgi to go out of line to go do biometric. I return. Now to window 4. She's in her 30s I suppose.

Vo: good morning(smiling)
Me: morning and how was your night?
Vo: very fine and yours
Me: its very lovely
Vo: your doc please
Me: passing the documents. Here it is
Vo: why are you going to the US?
Me: (I said you are finished today for my mind, cos I don rehearse answer to this question) I am going to the US for my masters degree at Montana State University (cut in)
Vo: oh...smiling. I see .
Vo: so are u married
Me: no
Vo: any kids
Me: no
Vo : so what course u going for and who is sponsoring
Me: mathematics, full scholarship and GTA
Vo: what were u doing in Italy
Me I answered
Vo: also in Bulgaria
Me: I answered.
Vo: what's the derivative of acceleration?
Me: (for my mind, I was like is she playing with me) I pause for a minute, look at her in the eye, smile, she smile back, then gave her the answer. She then smiled the more and brought out white paper, and start saying all their grammar after three working days so so and so. No question about my first denial a week ago.



God settled my case. My case is different. It can only be God. Thank you all

Congratulations. VO meant derivative of velocity in that question or really "derivative of acceleration" jerk?
