Yes it is asking me if I have been refused before which I have been but really want to know if that is applicable to me since it specifies in the last 2 months. That's why I want to be sure if I fall in that category as going by the calculation, mine was refused 14th July, 2018. I dont want to choose the wrong thing erroneously, so that I wont be seem as deliberately misrepresenting my application. I dont want that to happen.

Bro please check your pm. Thanks

got admission at NEU for fall2018 buh was delayed visa in lagos, i hav deferred for spring2019 to reapply again next month.

Rytefish:


Meaning you applied and still waiting for admission. Well, for the schools I applied to, there is always a spot to check my status, one is currently displaying 'Awaiting decision' , the other is 'Out to department', while I already got my acceptance letter for one, so I think if you truly have access to the login of the application, you can check your status, from the schools.

Then, the last school sent a mail that they will get back to me as soon as the decision is made by the faculty.

I wish us success.

GboyegaD:


Isn't your reaction off the hook as well? You could have just done as suggested as most of us here might not have adequate information on visit visa. That said, going by your initial question, I do think you are good to go. I guess you just have to be confident and know much about the conference you are going for and how it translates to your improvement.

US does not look at your class of degree (that's British system practiced in Nigeria). You will need to convert your GPA to a US scale in order to apply. The standard admission benchmark is usually 3.0 but a few other schools also accept GPA below that standard mark.

The only reason you need to worry about your GPA is when you are seeking for funding, otherwise, you're almost always eligible for US admission except in extreme cases where you have very poor GPA.

Regarding TOEFL, Nigerians are not usually required to take the TOEFL since we are an anglophone country. As for your transcript, it is a crucial part of your admission process, you can't avoid it. You should now research to know if your school accepts official or unofficial or evaluated copy.

Thank you, I might as well tell him to talk to one of his sisters about it.

Please, how much does it cost to send i20 from US to Nigeria. I can only Google that of Sevis and Visa fee easily, the i20 fee isn't on the internet.

Thanks in anticipation.

I am so sorry about this, but it looks like there is enough money to throw away. I mean 804k is so much money for standardized tests fam. That money is enough to write the tests, pay application fees to more than 6 schools, and still cover other major expenses.

STAY AWAY FROM AGENTS ! ! !

If you register with B.Y Mafit, you get to pay 45k for the TOEFL. That 45k takes care of the materials he would need to read to ace the test. Looking from things, your brother need classes, and B.Y Mafit offers that for free.

What your mum's friend told her is a fat lie. When your brother goes there, he'd see his age mates in class. There are kids there his age attending classes and waiting to write their own tests.

Life shouldn't be this tough to be honest.

Again, STAY AWAY FROM AGENTS! ! !

homirefacuny:


Some agents wont make heaven. Research all these stuffs yourself online and block the agent number on mum's phone. Thank me later

kfrosh:
I understand the way our mothers can be rigid even when you yell them they're on the wrong path. With your phone in hand and with her beside you. Google cost of TOEFL registration, let her see with her eyes how much it cost and how the agent is about to dupe her or has already duped her.
Hopefully she gets convinced.

Walspring:


They have decieved and scammed your mum and i am sorry to say this. I will advice to forget this people and move on.

If you mother haven't pay the balance for the exam or the money yet, tell her that she shouldn't pay and someone can give your brothers tips, tutorial and materials on toefl and SAT and how to get a good score..

Send me pm so as to send you materials for the toefl and SAT

yuscodguy:


First I will advice you to erase the thinking about going to an agent from your mind.
There are steps you can take. With your CGPA research for schools that accept your CGPA for your MBA program.

Register for GMAT and if necessary for TOEFL
do all these online. There are people here that can help you pay for your standardized test in a cheap price.

You can contact me later to give you tips.
