Boss2411: 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. 6 Likes |

Hello house, I just finished my bsc in psychology and I'm planning to go for MSc in either occupational therapy, physician assistant or maybe nursing but based on what I've read i either have to do a bsc or go for accelerated degree.. Pls which of these courses would give me a higher chance of being issued visa? Thanks. |

Best201195: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 6 Likes |

Hey! Guys, I need help from anyone who has been an undergraduate in the USA. I'm an 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. My aunt helped me with the previous bank statements. 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? |

Boss2411: You must be destined for greatness so congrats on your admission. To be honest 1462 and 99 in TOEFL is not a great score to have entered Harvard so well done to you. There must have been something else in your application that stood out. The only way is to reach out to their international office and see how this can be rectified. 2 Likes |

Hello gurus, please i need ur advise concerning WES. He requested that i should send my NECO and Cratch Card through the examination body. If d exam was conducted in Ondo State, can Neco Head office in Akure do the verification or i wil need to go to their Head office in Kaduna. |

JohnnyAmhan: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 2 Likes |

BikeMan: yes no subject test ...... almost impossible ... However Sometimes some people are lucky and just get it with a good stroke of luck .. It doesnt happen often but it does , like Miracle or Magic ![]() My own is , which secondary school in Nigeria now gives their student their bank account to use for admission purposes ……… Also a school like Harvard will need a parent or official Guardian bank account for a Minor ………. Remember this is a minor application . To accept bank account from a school then a very strong letter from the school who have stated in clear terms I will sponsor this minor /student for the 4 years before an i20 will be released . Again how many secondary schools will agree to do this . Maybe if your father is the owner of the school 4 Likes |

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…… 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. |

Best201195: That's true SAT scores come in multiples of 10.... Also he should have done enough research before applying. There is a portion on their admission's website where you can register your email to receive admission and financial aid tips. I also started application for Harvard but stopped when I got to know that they require two SAT subject tests especially for INT. students who didn't take AP courses. Yes, it is true that Harvard offers full ride scholarships(need-based) to students from an annual family income below $65,000 . But you have to show this need in your application, but he used his school's account which will prolly have more than this amount. The mistake he made is that he should have done enough research before applying, if he did this he would know of filling the CSS Profile ( which is kinda similar to FAFSA, but open to international applicants). Also for Harvard to send you the I-20 without financial aid , they feel you can pay their fees. Most top schools like this would say you can't be granted financial aid once you've accepted the admission ... Anyways you could mail their office of financial aid , they could look into your application.. I also made similar mistakes the first time I applied to USA universities.. 4 Likes |

Good day house, I have a Master's degree in physical Chemistry, I wish to apply for another Master's degree in Chemical Engineering in the US. I have been reading on this forum that a Bsc to Bsc or an Msc to Msc doesn't always fly with the VOs. Should I apply for a PhD instead ? In which case my undergraduate GPA isnt so good (2.5/ 5.0).but my Msc GPA is 3.98/5.0 and i intend to write GRE and TOEFL. Thank you. |

BikeMan:diversity could come to play sincerely. Most Africans (not diaspora) don't apply to Harvard for UG |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by BikeMan: 6:32pm On Jan 30, 2019 |
CuteRedd: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. 4 Likes |
