i think for the first time, i will have to agree that this country is a shit-hole. Nigerian universities are so annoying and can frustrate the living hell out of you. most times , i wonder why students are getting first class like biscuit in USA and UK, but in Nigeria, its a matter of war.

my story.......
after four years of hard labour and stress in a Nigerian university, my transcript was 2.88/5.0 ( second class lower who managed to escape a third class) see first picture.

now, my WES evaluated transcript was released today after several months of battling with my school to send my transcript. my evaluation on WES came out to be
2.93/4.0 (see picture B)


can you imagine, its even greater than the miserable grade my Nigerian undergraduate program gave me,

i was not expecting up to 2.5 /4.0 and my hope has been tied on conditional admission in a tier 4 USA school before now.
but now, i am just wowed and amazed, now i can flex and checkout on good schools.



my advice to everyone on Average CGPA of 2.5/5.0 (second class lower) from a Nigerian university, don't loose hope, research for schools who required WES evaluation, don't hesitate to sacrifice the WES evaluation fee, i just believed there is hope for you.


now , let me take time to research Good schools.....

Well, I dnt know anything as regards travelling to US to study ..i learnt about GRE ...toefl here ,and WES evaluation ...and also read other people's stories....but pls I need an answer ...to my questions please.

Shanid:

Wow , bro thank you for this ...but please how much did it cost you to send the transcript and how much did you pay to WES ?

About $250 for Wes.
School do charge 28,000 to send. It depends on your school.

Though my school paid all the fee and I didn't pay a KOBO, cause I was trying to Sue the school for damages

If you have really been silently following this thread for a very long time as you claimed, then you should know the answers to your question. But let me give you the benefit of doubts,

1. Writing GRE and TOEFL, GRE alone or TOEFL alone depends on you (your pocket size, your ego), your desired course of study and your desired school's requirement. School A might require GRE and TOEFL for you to study course X, while school B might require GRE alone for you to study the same course X and school C might require neither GRE nor TOEFL and they would still give you admission to study course X.

2. My first answer still covers your question about WES. for example I evaluated my transcript with WES and non of the 4 schools I applied to requested for it. Arizona state University even rejected it outrightly saying they only recognise official transcript from issuing institution.

3. As the biggest madam in the house (Lagosismyhome) would always say and I quote, "nobody can predict chances". You would only know if you give it a shot.

4. I don't know about your 4th question o, maybe other gurus can help out here

Hello house, warm greetings to all!, I got admitted for fall 2018.
School: Monroe kings college, MSC.
Course of study: Public Health.
Undergraduate study: MBBS.

My questions are:
1. Do anyone know this school? Or have heard anything about the school? It is a private school in N.Y.
2. Can I already apply for visa once I get my i-20? Or should I wait till July or August.
3. My sponsor has account balance of #10M would this be enough? The fee for first year is $37k.
4. Any other information that would be helpful would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The fact is I don’t really understand this site . It looks too complicated for me

Please I need it as well ,can you forward it to meetseun2005@gmail.com? Thanks

If your plan is to use the MPH as a stepping stone to cross do USMLE and match and if your sponsor doesnt have a lot of money and if you were not given any funding then you are targetting the wrong school at 37k

YOU need to not look at private school but public school with less than half of that tuition since the MPH is just used as a stepping stone . No point struggling with a 37k a year school

If you have more than 37k times 2 years then fire on

To answer your specific question... no I not heard of the school but that ok . I haven't heard of many schools. Once you get you i20 , you can apply for visa 120 days in advance of your i20 start date . About 10m I don't know ooo. Is the sponsor willing to spend all the 10 million on you . That will guide up. What about funding or plan for second year ? .
