IAmPhiL:lol an inside guy ![]() He saw your name on admission list and you resume 25th and them never send you acceptance letter ( lol here is not naija oh that your friend will go and check admission list for you ) what if that inside man actually saw your name and deleted it ![]() Personaly I don't recommend schools that don't respond soon enough though most time it's the staff's not the school and sometimes they can be out office and sometimes a simple call can fix everything Also it sounds like you only applied to one school prolly because inside man said he will work the admission for you 1 Like 1 Share |

Lagosismyhome, Twoods, and everyone . my cousin wants to do her masters in the US. there is an error in her WAEC cert. Her DOB is 22nd July 1992. but it shows 22nd June 1992 in her WAEC cert. she is trying to apply for international passport. which DOB should she put that will not affect her during visa interview. thanks |

IAmPhiL: I told you to call any number you can get hold of even if it's the dean of grad school. They will transfer you to the right person or take up the case. Mind you it's just 9:06 ET, the first time zone in U.S, probably you call them back around noon. |

presh68: I do not have an idea but will you let us know the name of your school so we won't apply to it as I know most schools don't ask for high school transcript or are you going for undergraduate degree? |

Widall: When you know its a mistake, why don't you try going to correct the problem in WAEC. Even in Nigeria, it will be seen as forgery of age when employers ask you to bring credentials. |

LagosismyHome:lol I know it sounds like I'm attacking him but that's not my intention I'm basically stating facts based on realistic information. People have stated how they've been exploited because someone has offered to help with the admission because they are staffs in the instituition it's not like all I stated can't happen but other people can read the information and take caution when they start noticing similar things "though most time it's the staff's not the school and sometimes they can be out office and sometimes a simple call can fix everything " abi wasn't this also my answer ? ![]() |

Widall:A friend of mine had this problem in the past but not related to visa application n all that.He wanted to apply for a job in a bank.In summary ur friend should visit waec office, they will tell her steps to take in correcting the error a fee of about 10k is paid.The correction usually takes a while to process let's say 6 to 12 months,if she needs it urgently waec can easily give her a written note with letter headed tittle of waec which she can attach to her result when ever she wants to present it.

IAmPhiL: Your response is not helpful. Keep off for what reason? US schools are not Nigerian schools, they have specific reasons for taking specific actions and they make sure that this is communicated to you in a timely manner. My guess is that you dropped the ball somewhere. Did you obtain any written communication indicating you were offered admission? No one just reads names off a list as proof of admission. |

LagosismyHome: She will have to go to waec result and certificate section to submit the old certificate for correction and you will aslo be asked to bring a letter signed by the principal of the school she did the exam claiming there is an error on it, but if its GCE just go to that section for correction mind you its 10k for correction and another 10k to collect when done and it usually take 6 month to a year before its ready.peace |

IAmPhiL: TWoods: Same experience here. I have 4 people that applied to Bowie State University for Spring 2018 also and up till now they have not heard from them yet. The school is really messed up. The man in charge of international admissions, Mr Samuel Yego, is the main culprit here. I don't mean to be mean but the man is very incompetent, rude, lies, never replies emails nor calls etc. and I wonder why he is still in charge of admissions. I have met him on a few occasions and he always claims busy and being in the office till 8pm everyday yet nothing ever gets done. He has lied to me on several occasions that a few of the 4 people have been processed and sent for i20 production only to get to the i20 office and Mr. Yego did not send the admission file to begin with. Another question is if he has sent your file to the department for review to begin with? This is because he emailed the 4 students on November 14 2017 that he had sent their files for departmental review and after over a month of waiting and no reply they all called their department (MIS department) on December 16 and they were told that Mr Yego had not sent their files to review for admission to begin with. Don't be surprised if he hasn't forwarded your file to the department for review to begin with. The admission list you talked about may just be the list of all those who applied to the university. When I discovered the gross incompetency and lack of awareness about time factor I was very disappointed to say the least, coming from an institution that is supposed to be in the United States. This Yego of a person is Kenyan by the way (bringing in his typical lousy African work ethic to the US). Another thing I noticed is that they seem to be doing 'IM' in that school. They process admissions faster for those who have someone working in the school or living in Maryland. Try calling the Provost. That seems to be the only person he answers to in the university. 301-860-3464 Or Celestine J. Grimm Staff Assistant Henry Administration Building, Suite 2200 301-860-3464 To others thinking of applying to Bowie State University, beware. You just might not hear from them after applying. 8 Likes |

bigfrancis21: Exactly what I told him but seems he's not interested in my suggestion. Anyone can call the dean directly when you feel the person in charge isn't doing his job. I once did that to my former IA and told her she's an incompetent. Hot emails exchange ensued and at the end, the dean of grad school personally used her money to mail my I 20 with UPS. When I finally resumed and met her one on one, she apologized. By the next semester, she had been kicked because of many similar complains. There was another time my grad coordinator didn't want me to pick the elective courses that are relevant to my life, I went straight to the dean and the issue was solved. I was exempted from garbage electives and I created my own plan. 1 Like |

imperiouxx:well said bro, but candidly I've called and called. @lagosismyhome can attest to this infact i just called the deans office and some others, straight to voicemail. I left a detailed complaints in the voice message. and @Twoods, just as bigfrancis21 said, they're lotta people in similar situation, prolly they're just observing our replies and all. |
