Hello All,
Please what course of study should I write in my ds_160 application,The actual major name or the one written on my i20?
Please help.....

Best development
Let genuine people have a fair chance
Nigerians always have a penchant for finding the quickest/easiest route out not considering the implications of their actions or that what they might be doing is Infact illegal or how it negatively affects others
It’s a welcome development, more of such should be introduced

100kobo:

Wonderful development!

Lol I won’t even argue with him, my cousins attend said school
I applied to said school
I know what I went through
I know what friends that applied together went through
I know how annoying I found mr Samuel yego’s behavior during that period that I almost thought maybe he just didn’t like Nigerians
But do you
I agree with whatever you say

I understand you perfectly bro.
That's why I said their communication is not all that good.
But they admit Nigerians.

I hate this school

LagosismyHome:


Congrats... May God bless your new journey. Thanks for sharing

This helps those asking if Bowie State University gives admission to Nigerians....

You said I’m spewing what I don’t know, and I said I agree
That’s the end of it, won’t engage you further

If they admit Nigerians, why then are people complaining about their communication systems then?
I know guys who applied there with first class but did not hear from the school again.
No mind that guy jare.

If that's the case. Keep your opinion to yourself and let people who want to apply,apply.

Thank you so much, this is a huge relief. I thought I was the only one. Thanks so much

You are welcome.
Pls, I would advice u 2 start researching how to pay sevis fee, i think @walspring is famous here for helping peeps with that. You can also start filling your ds 160 form and save it on your computer. I have filled mine and saved on my system. Tho, there are some part I can't fill since I don't have admission yet.
I would advice u go through your schools website and check thoroughly.(usually information for admitted students)
You need to get as much info as u can get concerning factors that may delay your I-20.
For example now, I recently discovered that the school am applying to won't issue out I-20 until they get official transcripts(some schools issue out I-20 before official transcripts but dey won't allow u 2 register for classes without having received ur official transcripts.)

They also won't issue out I-20 if the schools compulsory vaccination form is not filled and scanned back to them.

Like most schools, they also won't issue out I-20 form until u fill and submit d financial statement forms with copies of ur sponsors bank statements. But most school allow you to scan this financial form and bank statements back to them but for my school, u must ship it to them by courier, they don't accept scanned copies of bank statements and financial forms.
those are the things am working on now: transcripts, how to get financial statements to them on time so as not to delay my form I-20, get doctor to fill vaccination form and even do one nonsense tuberculin skin test for tuberculosis

I dint know all these things until some weeks back after checking their website thoroughly, I saw things I never saw there before. I mailed them for the ones I wasn't clear about and they replied me within hours. (i normally mail them within their working days and time tho).
An by the side, I don dey write and answer likely interview questions also...
Hopefully, we will get there in Jesus name.
AMEN!!!

So, there's still much to do with little time....
Arm ursef with as much information as possible.

Hello house,

Pls I need your help as regards WES evaluation.
For graduate studies, do WES require WAEC evaluation
I have actually submitted my certificate and transcript to WES for evaluation, but on checking my status, it shows awaiting documents (My WAEC result), of which the graduate school am applying to doesn't require it.

I applying for Spring admission and deadline is Nov 12.
Please how can I convince WES that my school doesnt need it.

What can I do.

M actually applying for graduate studies and not undergraduate.

Send them an email to waive it. This is what most people I know do.

Wretch32:
I hate this school

Hate is a very strong word so calm down

I schooled /lived in the DMV area so know of this school . Used to have a high number of Nigerian back then and would not have been my choice of school

Pinkandblue26:
Please I really need to be informed.
Help a sister.
For graduate studies, do I need WAEC evaluation from WES....or I can I tell them to disregard the WAEC evaluation.

The cost of sending WAEC results from WAEC evaluation to WES again , before WAEC verifies....the deadline would have passed. Pls what can I do to meet up.


Thank you

Send them an email. They can waive it.

Rytefish:



Sure, Mid-November isn't too late to get i20 and book an appointment for visa interview (Spring class). It all depends on the courier service used for the i20. And I think first timers don't have issues with getting preferred interview dates. I wish you success.

100kobo , Lagosismyhome ,what do you think?

Thanks boss

Hello house,
Thanks a lot to those that reached out to me concerning the issues I had with WES then.actually I have used ECE ,it is sorted already. Thanks a lot
So my question tonight is..I got admitted into two schools and I will be going for my interview soon but the issue I am having now is, I had four recipient schools in which I choosed on my TOEFL but I cldnt meet up with the cut off of the remaining two schools ,so I settled for the remaining two schools which I applied to both and got admitted into both.my question now is should in case I was asked for my TOEFL result and they saw four schools there whereas I already said that I apply to just two.hope it won't be like a red flag?...or should I jst say 4?
Note: I didn't apply to the remaining two schools at all...please help a brother!

Is ECE like WES? Because it seems WES is beginning to have more conditions. Do schools accept from ECE too? If yes, how do i go about my evaluation with ECE rather than WES.

Thank you

Thank you

They are both evaluating bodies but the one turns out favourable results more than the other. ECE is the easier between the two but turns out less generous results.

You are on the right path. I will advise you use usnews.com to find schools offering your program of choice. Read through their requirements, what they offer, and funding opportunities. If you have questions, you can ask on here. Btw, what school is your Bsc from?

To be honest you have a good profile (good undergraduate degree) but you should never have rebooked another interview immediately, you have a bsc already and you want to go for an associate degree, youre not exactly furthering your education that way are you?
Unless of course you have a very good reason (which you have to figure out) since you already booked it
However with good reasons, you might be able to convince the officer but it will be no mean feat
If you’ve already booked for a second interview then I can make a suggestion, (I’m not assuring it would work, but you can try) pm me I believe knowing the right answers can give you a chance

Check your email and reply. My friend's elder sister did the same thing but she was able to convince them. I could link you up with her so she can tell you her points that's if you are interested

My schools don't have requirements for i-20 shipping. It's just to present bank statements which I did during my applications.
Thanks alot. Amen to your prayers

Hi house, I got my I20 today,now i plan to use my Uncle who has enough money in his account,he has good travel history too.... But my major ish is we don't bear same surname and on the requirements for visa i saw I have to prove wt birth certificate dt we are related, how am I supposed to prove that because we don't have same name. Do i get a court statement?

I do not believe this is a mandatory requirement- it is fine if your surname is different. Just make sure you provide an authentic bank statement and a sponsor's letter/affidavit. You should be able to respond to any questions the consular has about your relationship with your uncle and why he is committing to being your sponsor.

I can't think of a more selfless platform than nairaland. I had to speed read a good number of threads before I could truly understand the energy y'all putting up here...
To the GURUs and other contributors, God bless y'all immensely.
I have learnt a lot and truly understood the power of TOEFL, GRE, GMAT and high CGPA (I had a 4.03/five though) in regards to funding/scholarships/GAs.

Since June, I've actually been on a lone wolf shit, doing the whole process myself and with help from a friend there, plus I wrote/called the school wella. Discovering nairaland wowed me.
Well, I'm currently going for masters in information technology @ Concordia university Wisconsin (no TOEFL or GRE required). With a B. Eng. Degree.
My Interview is loading come 01/18...
Although I now know a lot of things I could have done better(OPTION WISE), I'd still hope for the best at current interview and leave the rest to God.

So far I have seen the need to work on :
Why CUW
why MS IT
what will the course do for you
What's the rship to your first degree
And what I'll do when I return.

As I write... I'm seriously tensed while trying to figure out better answers to them.
I'll try to churn out a likely transcript for your individual perusal ASAP.
Bless.

Hello good people.
If one submits an application for fall admission in November, when is it likely the person gets a feedback from the schools?

Hello. Guys I really need you candid advice on this I have a bsc certificate in geophysics.and now I got an admission into a school in Ohio for bsc geology it was my uncle in Texas who applied for me d problem now is how can I convince d vo since geology and geophysics are very related ?? Kindly advice me on what to say my interview is in 3 weeks time

Spring2019:


Please someone should reply this

From my own point of view, i think you can call the admission officer to know the status of your application.

I use statement of 2 people that had different surnames and were Yorubas (I’m Igbo). I was able to tell the VO how we are related and it was not a problem.

it all depends on the school. Different schools with different policies. But I think at most there should be a decision by february.
