Boss2411: When you get into Harvard for undergrad, financing it won't be a problem. There are lots of financing opportunities open to you. Send a mail to your school and explain your situation. They will work something out for you. If they offer you student loans, try and negotiate first for a scholarship. I will recommend you get the guidance of an experienced person for this negotiation. Also, reach out to several institutions in the country. There are lots of institutions that will want to sponsor a Nigerian to Harvard. But this step is unnecessary because Harvard will surely work out a financial plan for you. Just make sure they include some scholarships so you don't have >$200K debt while graduating. By already ordering for your I20, I presume you were already too anxious and you've made them think you have the $$$ to pay. That might work against you while negotiating for financial aid though. Congratulations... |

7rewards: Yeah, that was why I modified his post when I read it a second time. I am guessing he might be confusing I20 with admission letter. |

Humble11: If you were not ignorant, or maybe do some research, you will know that one would need to obtain an RN degree first before proceeding to informatics. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Humble11: 6:34pm On Jan 29, 2019 |
ottizz: So what are you saying. You are even giving him wrong advise. You suggested nursing informatics and now saying you need nursing degree first before nursing informatics. See we are not here to quarrel, moving from bsc computer science to bsc nursing won't be easy to get visa with. He can switch when he get over there but he should try msc computer science or related course in order to secure his visa easily. 1 Like |

Jaybeepictures:well I am not a Bro. Also maybe it depends on the university in question. But let's see tho. Hope you get a positive response. |

Humble11: Wait, you are telling me that the embassy will deny this individual a visa for having a BSc in a major that is coveted by nursing programs, due to Electonic Health Record (EHR) being the norm in Healthcare facilities across the globe? OK. You are probably right. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Humble11: 7:56pm On Jan 29, 2019 |
ottizz: Which one is major that you are referring to, Bsc Computer Science? Your write up is quite confusing. |

Vickglam: Thank you all for your reply, i thought as much that my chances will be slim, but at the same time i will spend first term school fees for nothing, if i apply for Msc computer and now change to nursing,hmmm, am actually doing masters computer science in Germany, but am not liking it, am not just feeling the course again, lol |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Humble11: 8:08pm On Jan 29, 2019 |
Vickglam: Sorry for USA schools, you don't have to attend the school for a term before switching to another school. You can transfer to another school immediately you arrive USA and use that money for your intended program. |

Ubah1:Harvard is need blind se,they would fund him. Ivy league admission is a juicy cake,when someone get it,let's try to advise them on getting aid instead of asking them to throw it away and look for some other schools 1 Like |

BikeMan: Well i responded without knowing Harvard offers full ride scholarship for all, if your family earns under 65,000$ and i didn't advised him to throw it away. He asked if he can work & study to pay the tuition fees and i suggested he look for schools that can offer full ride scholarship if he can't get sponsor. Anyway, Lagosismyhome has advised him properly. 2 Likes |

I applied to Harvard University and brown University for undergraduate..no scholarship was given to me ...I emailed the both school yet no reply, I wonder why my case is always different from other people's own because I haven't seen anyone without tuition waiver here.harvard is actually my top choice so I want to know if I can take loan while studying since my parent can't afford the fees ..I don't want to miss this opportunity because it cost me lot of money , interview and stress to get those admissions .I used my school account to get my i20 ..I've been disturbing them but brown University threatened to withdraw my admission if I can't finance my education, so I have no choice than to free them. I really want to attend Harvard cause it has been my dream school and I know it will expose me to so many opportunities .please is there any other means I can finance my education apart from taking loan ? I finished school last year I got 1462 in sat and 99 in TOEFL still no tuition waiver I am 17 years old boy and very brilliant 1 Like |

Boss2411: Well you shouldn't have rushed to use your school account rather ask for advise like you are doing now, on how to get financial aid from the school. Now, Harvard might think your school is sponsoring you. GboyegaD asked you should private message him so he can assist you in contacting the school for financial aid. 2 Likes |

Boss2411:when you applied to Harvard, did you demonstrate that you would need funding if taken? The only way Harvard won't fund you is if you demonstrate otherwise. |

[quote author=GboyegaD post=75234272] You do not need a PGD to do your Masters as HND is accepted for graduate studies in the US. I would suggest you search schools that has a Masters program in your field of interest and apply. You can start with www.usnews.com for your school search. You necessarily need not evaluate your transcript, some schools have in-house evaluation team.[/quote Thanks alot. I truly appreciate |

Boss2411: You messed everything up when you used school account. They are assuming your school will sponsor you and they might have seen enough funding in the schools account. Well all hope is not lost, send a pm to GboyegaD, so he can help you construct a good write up that you can send to them. Am available to help too. 3 Likes |

Hey! Guys, I need help from anyone who has been an undergraduate in the USA. I'm a continued undergraduate student in the US. My DSO keeps asking me for bank statement or proof of ability to pay in order to update my SEVIS record every semester. I don't owe any money so far. But is this request right? I'm the only international student in my school, it's a small school. I'm enrolled full-time. I pay my tuition as cash comes but no large sum of money kept anywhere to show. What if I don't show her this semester, she will refuse to update my SEVIS record and I will become illegal. Is this the same requirement in other schools before your SEVIS is updated. |
