Boss2411:

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

CuteRedd:
what have you been showing her all these while?

Humble11:


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.

Best201195:


Are you really sure about this '1462' score?
1462 sounds too low to get an international student into Harvard without taking the SAT subject tests and having some badass extracurriculars.

Again, SAT scores only come in multiples of 10.... Every SAT score must end with '0'

I'm confused.

Boss2411:

please ma, can u help me to get any financial aid

Boss2411:
sorry I meant 1462

charliejose:
Why do I have this feeling this boy is not real? I may be wrong though.

JohnnyAmhan:


SAT scores come in multiples of 10 only so all scores end with a "0" attached.
So can he explain how he got 1462 because it's starting to sound mendacious.

BikeMan:
meaning even the first score he mentioned isn't obtainable on the SAT, hmm!

JohnnyAmhan:


It is what it seems.
I was wondering why nobody paid attention to the score self.

BikeMan:
Most folks here are for PG but what I'm specifically worried about is how he got in without subject tests. I don't think anybody can get into any Ivy league without subject tests. Even dem Pomona, Amherst require subject tests . 1462 isn't even a competitive score for Harvard. They reject people with 1500+. But then,you can't always judge a book by its cover,I hope he would rectify that score again, looks like he made a mistake

Fall 2019 proper.
I firmly believe, that any man finest hour, the greatest fulfillment that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause, and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious.

So so inspired mehn, been following this thread since 2016(Undergraduate Days). Brothers and sisters believe me this time next year, if at all we are not already in USA, we will be getting ready for our flight.
InshaAllah

Hello everyone. I had my F-2 interview at Lagos Consulate on the 28th of January with my child and below is the transcript of what transpired.
VO: Pass your passport. I obliged.
VO: Which school is your husband studying.
Me: The University of “the state” in “city”.
VO: What is his program?
Me: PhD program
VO: When did he leave?
Me: He left on date, month, 2017.
VO: When did you get married?
Me: Mentioned date, month, 2014.
VO: How many children you do have?
Me: We have only one child and he is here with me.
VO: When will he finish his program.?
Me: I quickly used my hand to count and replied 2021/2022 because I know his PhD will take 4 to 5 years.

VO: How many years will you spend in the United States?
Me: I will like to be with my husband because it has been difficult since he left, my……[/b]

[b]I am sorry for the delay.
you gave the wrong answer here. F2 is a non immigrant visa but your answer sounded like you want to use your husband's F1 status to migrate to the US.[b] You could have just said i will spend 3months even if you plan to migrate
And Generally i believe its easier to get b1/b2 visa than to get the F2 visa. GOODLUCK

My two cents though[/b]

She cut me off, said sorry you are not qualified at this time and gave me rejection paper.
Note that the VO didn’t request for my I-20 and didn’t look at it. She didn’t ask for any other document. In fact, she wasn’t looking at me throughout the interview but was just typing. I would have liked to ask her why she denied me but it only came to my mind after I left.
Please help me scrutinize the transcript and suggest what I can do better. The denial has really been difficult for me to take. I do plan to reapply immediately and any suggestion will be useful. Thank you.

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.

Philadelphia:


Before I saw this, I was already typing that it's Babcock University you attended.
I believe your story.
Don't ask me how or why

Aluko1987:
Good day to all... Pls I wrote GRE last 2wks and I got 269. So painful though. V133, Q136
My cgpa 3.7.
So, pls which schools can accept such score with funding? USA precisely.. I want to study Educational Administration.
Pls I need response ASAP.... Thanks

Olalekank:

Minimum is 130 in each section meaning the total score was like 3/20 + 3/20 in each section. (Max 10/40 due to the adaptive testing.

chukamorah:


I get bank statements from my aunt.

BikeMan:
I've watched admission reactions of Asians not getting accepted with SATscores of 1570+ and 3 subject tests some with even perfect scores. These guys don't even apply with their national exams. They take APs and ace them. I hope this boy knows what he saying sha because I'm surprised he got into Harvard without spanking 1500+ and subject tests.That score isn't even in the mid 50% for ivy leagues

CuteRedd:
diversity could come to play sincerely. Most Africans (not diaspora) don't apply to Harvard for UG

BikeMan:
Who told you so? Nigerians apply to Ivy leagues well. Harvard won't admit you without subject tests. Yes,diversity play a role,but not after your score is competitive for Harvard. Somebody got into Caltech and MIT in 2007 here on Nairaland. Guess what his SAT score was? 2370/2400. Somebody up there mentioned that he was also applying to Harvard until he saw that subject tests are REQUIRED. You need atleast two to get to Harvard. They don't care if you come from the jungle.

CuteRedd:
lol noted.

BikeMan:
How's work and prep at that end?
