Hello guys,

I'm new here. I've read so many of the messages and I like what I see.

I need your help though. I want to study Advertising and public relations in the USA, and I've done some research on schools over there that offer the course such as Alabama University, Michigan State University, Pennsylvania uni, University of Texas, Austin and a host of others. The problem is that I don't know how competitive these schools are. I also don't know how to go about the registrations and all of that.

I want to apply for next year, and would like to be put through with application for cost-effective schools that offer this course. Anybody? I have a lot to ask you.

If there's anybody studying Advertising in any US school, I'll be glad to talk to you.

I'm just so confused and worried. I was thinking getting an agent until I stumbled upon this thread.

Please help.

BTA means you need to have some amount of money with you before you travel. It's not PTA. I am asking, if the minimum is $1000

Personal Travel Allowance (PTA) and Business Travel Allowance (BTA).

I think is Basic Traveling Allowance BTA.

OluDare01:

Personal Travel Allowance (PTA) and Business Travel Allowance (BTA).

Ohhh Okay .... So does that PTA have a minimum amount?

nasjeje:
I think is Basic Traveling Allowance BTA.

BTA stands for Business Travel Allowance. BTA is for business travel only and is set at a maximum of $5,000

Thank God you found this page. Let me give you an informed advice: meticulously read thru this Thread from page 1. You can ask one or two questions in between.

Give yourself a target of 15 pages everyday. If diligently done, in about 2 weeks, most of your questions would have been answered. I understand that some times, it takes a great deal of skill to be able to query the search engine for answers. This thread has done it's due diligence to an avalanche of questions. You don't require any skill to access these horde of info here. All that is required is a rapt interest to read.

Peace Profound!

Good day house! Please i need your advice. I am trying to get into a school in US for my masters program. I researched top schools that offer the program i want to study and then settled for two. The two schools I have in mind have an acceptance rate of 59% and 63%. What are my chances of getting admitted with a GPA of 3.5? I wont be writing the GRE as it will be waived because I hold a terminal baccalaureate degree. Should I apply to more schools even when they are not so great in the program?

Good evening friends

My statement of account is from may-july 2018. Hope its okay

For those looking for a closer date....15th of August just popped up on Abuja...

Thank you naira0.

Morning people, kindly criticize my proposed transcript

VO: Good morning

Me: Good morning ma or sir

VO: Can I have your I-20 and passport

Me: Sure, why not?

VO: Why are you going to US?

Me: I am going to the US because PhD in the US distinguishes itself in terms of research and mentorship. The PhD is structured into coursework and thesis, this will make me grounded in both theoretical and practical areas of my chosen line of research. Academic mentorship is also direct in the US, thereby having direct and ongoing mentorship with my thesis advisor until the completion of my studies. Also, studying in the US will expose to me to latest research in the field, prioritized by the US CDC and funded by National Institute of Health.

VO: Where are you going in the US?

Me: I am going to United States for a PhD in Bioenvironmental Science with concentration in Environmental Health Science at Morgan State University, Baltimore, Maryland. This will enhance my competencies in understanding the impact of environmental variables on biological systems, especially on chronic and endemic infectious diseases in Nigeria. Upon completion, I will return to Nigeria to take up academic and research positions with utmost aim of identifying the effect of these health challenges in Nigeria health sector. Also, I hope to work on the best diagnostic, management and treatment approach of these infectious diseases from the environmental point of view.

Me: I applied to MSU, ETSU, University of Salford, University of Otago and WIU and four gave me admission.

VO: How did you hear about the school?

Me: I did an intensive online search, focusing on the schools that combined Biomedical Science and Environmental Health Science together owing to my academic and research background. I am a Biomedical Scientist by undergraduate degree and did my MSc in Environmental and Public Health. Also, my academic mentor at the University of Salford recommended the school to me because of the brilliant research work going on in the university in the field of biological and environmental health science.

Me: The Ph.D. program in Bioenvironmental Science at Morgan integrates strong academic training, fundamental and applied research practices which focuses on an array of environmental issues that affect biological systems. In addition, the program has five areas of concentration which include: Environmental Toxicology, Environmental Science, Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Health Sciences, and Environmental Biotechnology. My area of concentration will be Environmental Health Science. Also, there is an active ongoing research on Hepatitis C virus and HIV which is my area of research interest. Apart from the fact that it is my area of research interest, I have work and research experience in the field of viral hepatitis and HIV. Also, Morgan State University excellently combined these courses together with structured curriculum that will allow me to choose my area of concentration after completion of my core courses. The tuition fee is also moderate and has multi-cultural environment with the hope of transcultural exchange of ideas.

VO: How long is the program?

Me: The program is for maximum period of five years and I hope to finish within four years.

VO: How many credit hours is your program?

Me: I will take a minimum of 33 credit hours which will include core 22-credit hours courses such as cellular biology, toxicology of biological systems, seminar on modern biology and bio-environmental science, advances in Biochemistry, environmental chemistry, bioethics and communication. I will take additional 11 minimum credit hours chosen from elective courses which will include Microbiology of emerging pathogens, immunobiology, advanced molecular genetics, modern research techniques, environmental genetics, environmental carcinogenesis. Five core courses will be taken in year 1 and seminar, this will qualify me to write the comprehensive exam to become a PhD candidate at the end of first year.

VO: Can you tell me about yourself?

Me: I hold a Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science degree from Bleep and Master of Science degree in Environmental and Public Health from Bleep. I recently completed my internship job at Bleep hospital, England with focus on diagnosis, management and treatment of sexually transmitted infections in the community.

Me: I will be working on the co-infection of HIV and Hepatitis C Virus in Dr. Chen’s lab in susceptible people such as MSM, Drug users and sex workers. He has an ongoing research in this area and we’ve discussed about taking up research assistant position in the laboratory on resumption at the University.

VO: What’s your highest qualification?

Me: Master of Science degree in Environmental and Public Health, from Bleep.

VO: What were the processes involved in the application?

Me: I wrote GRE, SOP, Reference letter and made my application with these documents. My degree evaluation was sent by WES to the University. I had Distinction which is 3.72/4.0 in my MSc and the best student on my course.

VO: So, you’ve travelled out of the country before?

Me: Yes, I have been to six countries, mostly Europe and USA.

very supportive.

Its not compulsory your uncle should be based in Nigeria, the genuity of the bank statement from your uncle, which you are to present at the embassy is what matters.
Goodluck!
