OluDare01: From our last discussion early this year, you should start applying early in your last semester. Some jobs would look at your location and how much you have left in school. This is the time you should start your post opt application too. Dont forget that it takes about 3 months to get the work authorization and a semester is about 4 months. Visa sponsorship for a Chemistry job is rare. Your best bet is to get job in a research institute and see if they can retain you after your opt. All the best! 8 Likes 1 Share |

Albertone:Ah!.. undergrad, The real cash cow for over paid university administrators . Unlike Nigeria, sir, there is no uniform cost for undergraduate education across the vastness of the american space , Tuition and Living conditions will vary according to the school type. 1) For Profit Private Universities charge Insanely High amount for tuition (>=$40,000 per semester). These universities aren't worth it in most cases due to their lax admission process and unworthiness of their certificate (Let no one deceive you, school matters in great ole murica) 2) Not So great Private Universities - These universities aren't really for profit , and a lot of people on this thread routinely apply to them. But, take heed, their tuition can also be insanely expensive(>=$30,000 per semester,) ,and the degree may not be worth much after you're done. This universities cater mainly to Inner city and not so middle class Americans who have public education out of their reach. These universities also have lax admission. process ( so this may save you from SAT, TOEFL etc wahala) 3) The good and semi-good Private universities - Now these Universities are great in the value they give, and they receive some sort of federal funding and have nice large endowment, hence , even though their tuition is on the high side (>=$20,000 per semester) , There are opportunity for tuition waivers and GPA based scholarships 4) PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES!!- Public Universities are the darlings of any right thinking immigrant. the opportunity for Low tuition, Great ranking ,Great social scene, and closeness to that sweet federal $$ , makes it just right for someone like you. Albeit the admission process is fierce and rigorous as you would be competing with people from literally everywhere (SAT scores ,TOEFL, Transcript, LOR etc would be compulsory). Tuition could range from ($8,000-$25,000) ....... ..... ...... .. Asides tuition, Living expenses really depend in where you are, a sleepy college town somewhere in the mid west would be a lot cheaper than a college In a Urban North Eastern City. . . . . BOTTOM LINE : Undergraduate studies in America is insanely expensive , and should not be undertaken by the financially handicapped ; Too many stories of out of status, and incessant transfers to community colleges have become the Norm. If possible, Go to a nice private school like Covenant University in Nigeria, get good grades and then come for Graduate studies, which is a whole lot pocket friendly. 5 Likes 1 Share |

bushlance:1: You applied to all three schools knowing fully well that one only offered what you really wanted didn't sell to well to our dear VO,other tangible things like research groups and Possibility for Assistantship, and Industry Exposure would probably have sold Vo : What will this degree do for you?Nothing too bad here, every wants career advancement, but you could have done a lil bit better sir Vo: So did you write any standardised examsAt this point, your fate was pretty sealed and doubt was cleared from our dear VO's mind, He just wasn't ready to buy your explanation , more especially if he did a quick glance at your schools website Vo : who is payingYour fate was already sealed, this was just for future reference sake, if you reapply, and give another story other than "uncle", you'll raise even more deadly red flags. Guys kind criticise this transcript and advice cos I am reapplying. School resumed 22nd of January.Maybe you'll meet a nicer VO, and articulate your points better when you reapply 1 Like 1 Share |

Albertone:There aren't lots of scholarships exactly for Undergrad applicants as universities tend to be "Needs Blind". Most scholarships I know of are awarded by external agencies, e.g MasterCard, USAP etc, But these scholarships are very fierce and they take only the best of the very bests on the continent. If you're young (<=18) you can apply for community college, the fees are very very cheap, and later on you can transfer to a university. Cost of preparation may include all or some of the following 1) A Nigerian Passport - 35,000NGN 2) SAT 1 Exam - 50,000NGN 3) SAT 2 Exam (optional )- 50,000NGN 4) application Fees (average of $100 per school)- if you're applying to let's say 5 schools - 180,000NGN(You can apply for tuition waver sha ) 5) Miscellaneous- 30,000 NGN Total - approx 300,000-350,000NGN Solution - Drag yourself down to Walter carrington on Wednesday for the EducationUSA counselling. After the general session, You can join them for one on one sessions for about 35,000 NGN, its way better than meeting an agent, or constantly coming online. EducationUSA is the excellent solution for you sir 2 Likes |

Good morning guys . I sincerely wish to appreciate you all for the insights and advices I have gotten here at this forum . God bless you all . consequent of my denial of an F1 visa on the 28th , and my school resuming on the 2nd of January, I realize that even an emergency date will still not help so I have sought to your advice to defer till fall 2018. However, I have some questions here I need to ask and I sincerely will appreciate your responses and advices once again. Firstly, is it possible to change institution as against fall 2018 and seek for a higher degree such as masters as I already have a BsC and was seeking for another bsc of which I was denied ? Secondly , a masters degree in philosophy at Texas AM is what I intend to further in as I have a bsc , 4.0 in philosophy. I will be contacting the school and department in January about this but I need to ask. Which standardized test would be required for me ? Will I do a translation of my previous degree? My school does not give students transcripts, of which I believe it would be needed . I have my certificate tho and will be ending Nysc soon . Pls guys I need advices . If my phone number is needed to discuss this with me , I am willing to provide and pay for the airtime you use in calling . Thanks very much and I will be here waiting for replies. I have a sponsor who is ready to sponsor my education and I don't want to miss this opportunity to pursue my dream . Pls help a brother ! |

Horlanrewajuh: 1. Yes, you can change institution, as long as they issue you another I-20, and your SEVIS record is updated, and as long as it's reflected in your new Visa application. Otherwise, there may be issues at the POE. 2. Check the school website for the standardised test required, but for that course, it is likely GRE. Some schools require an independent agency to do transcript evaluation, but most schools don't if your transcript is already in English. Again, check with your department/school. If your school does not give transcript, they should be able to send it to the school directly (official, that is), at a cost. That said, since you have not written the GRE at this time, I'm not sure you can still meet with Fall 2018, but it is possible. Best wishes 1 Like |
