Good morning all, I recently sent a prof. at cleveland state university an email for an opening in his lab but he did not response. Just today I saw an email for the department Chair offering me a teaching assistantship. The offer came as an attached pdf file with my name on the letter. He also sent me an advert to apply to the department. On the teaching assistantship pdf, part of the conditions is for me to apply to the the school. I am just confused about the whole thing. He gave me 9 days to accept the offer. First of all his email checks out on the department website. How should I proceed please. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Yildiz: Bros, be very very careful otherwise you and I will fight here! This guy has correct gpa cool great n toefl and to spoil the whole matter, he has 5 publications. Which school will just throw aside his credentials like that? They recruited him, he didn't have to apply. This is the problem with Nigeria. An innocent guy or girl who is reading this or heard about this will go to mosque or church and start praying that God shout bless him with admission n funding just the way he blessed the OP. And their religious leaders will ask them to pray for "uncommon favor." Which Kain uncommon favor when your credentials no set like the OP own? Congrats Yildiz, but next time let the people know say you don start work tey tey n no be today. Go and buy your flight ticket, and just gerrarahia! JUST GET OUT, I DON'T WANT TO SEE U IN NIGERIA AGAIN! 11 Likes 1 Share |

Good afternoon house. Please I need some clarification. Firstly, I finished university in 2011, as my statement of result indicates but I was awarded my degree in 2012; as a result, it is 2012 that is written on my WES evaluation. Am I supposed to choose the year i actually finished university or the year my certificate was awarded as my university end date? Also I started working before my degree was awarded, won't that be a red flag on my work experience if I choose what's on the degree certificate? Like I started working full-time before graduation? In addition, I applied for the US non-immigrant Visa last year and I used the year on my certificate as my year of graduation on the US online application, but now I want to apply to Canada, would choosing the year I actually finished ( the one on my statement of result) for Canada be a problem? I heard both countries have access to each other's database, will choosing a different year now count as misrepresentation? Please someone help a confused person. |

AgreatMan:Bro, I don't quite understand you, I hope you were not referring to me when you said "..this is the problem with nigeria..." if you weren't referring to me then fine, but if you were replying me with this kind of response, then that's definitely bad and miserably wrong, maybe you didn't read what he posted and the question I asked...he said: "...he sent an e-mail for an opening in a prof's lab and he was later contacted with a teaching assistantship".....pls how did you expect me to know he submitted all the credentials you just mentioned...or is it now wrong to ask him how he got it...I said WOW......how were you assessed? I was happy for him or you didn't see that?? and to even settle the matter, the poster said that part of the conditions for the offer was for him to APPLY to the school later...I don't now understand when you said he didn't need to apply....I guess you weren't replying me,maybe you were just saying your opinion..Funny enough, he later replied that he sent his documents, please let's try to calm down... I'm pretty sure there would have been others too that were also wondering how he was able to acquire the TA, you should have let him answer the question himself. Thank God he later answered |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Happiness67: 2:43pm On Mar 03, 2019 |
Yildiz:To be on the safer side, make sure you apply to the school(which is a condition for accepting the offer) within the next nine days(or earlier), it is better to have this admit in the bag before thinking about other schools you applied to...Having a Teaching assistantship might just be your gatepass when you appear for your interview... |

lexychuks: Good day Bros, please can you put me through on how to go about this Wes evaluation, especially on how to get my Waec transcript. I earlier wanted to use Span-tran to evaluate my credentials since it is recognized in Naces and they can help me to evaluate n verify(146k) my transcript cus I have my transcript with me thus saving me the stress of applying for another one from my school which will cost 30k excluding the cost of sending it to them. Now I decided to use Wes cus I noticed that it is what most people use. Please can you explain to me on how to get my waec transcript. How much do you think everything will cost me? Getting my transcript from my school will cost me 30k, d cost of sending it to Wes is what I don't. Please do help a sister, I am really confused on wat to do |

Please I've a Bsc in Petroleum Engineering and would like to do my MSC in the same or related field, My WES iGPA calculation was 3.44/4. I just registered for GRE and TOEFL, I'm preparing towards fall 2020. I know most schools request for 3.00 GPA, but i would like to know if I stand a chance, since Engr courses are usually competively and I hope to get fundings as well. Your response and advice would be highly appreciated. Cheers! |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Ubah1(m): 4:50pm On Mar 03, 2019 |
temidayodamoye: Your GPA is very okay. Put more effort in getting a good GRE score, preferably 320+ and apply for PhD programs. You will definitely get funding. Most Schools doesn't fund Msc programs and funding for MSc is more competitive, that's why i advice you focus on PhD program where you can easily get fully funded offer. 3 Likes |

Hello Gurus in the house, please I am in a state of dilemma right now and I need advises, though I have been following this thread from part 11. Sincere appreciations to the contributors of this thread. My story goes thus, though it's a bit long but please bear with me: I am a HND graduate in Accounting from one of the reputable Federal Polytechnic in Nigeria, this year June I will clock 31 and recently completed NYSC. I have been applying for an undergraduate transfer to City University of New York - College of Staten Island (Recommended by my Uncle who is working and living in US also my sponsor) since 2017 when I was still in HND 2 but one way or the other I have to defer my admissions up till this moment due to late preparations and other issues. Though I sent my ND transcript (GP 2.71/4.0) to College of Staten Island where they evaluated it with their in-house evaluators and I was given an admission after necessary requirements were fulfilled but it's late already to apply for Visa and the school advised me to defer my admission. During my NYSC in 2018, I started the admission process again and I-20 was sent to me but it got to me late that I couldn't apply for Visa at that time again. Then someone advised me that my age might affect my chances of getting a visa due to the fact that I am still pursuing undergraduate degree at that age, so he advised to go for Graduate Studies i.e Masters in Accounting but my ND GP is 2.71 and my HND GP is 2.77, and most schools in US accepts minimum of 3.0. My one problem now is that I am not a BSC graduate but a HND graduate. I heard different informations that Nigeria HND is equivalent to BSC in US if my ND+HND is evaluated by WES but confused if it's going to be up to 3.0 if evaluated finally by WES. On hearing this information I approached College of Staten Island that during the course of my application I was also pursuing HND which I have gotten now and I want to use it to apply for graduate studies but they told me point blank they don't accept HND even if evaluated by WES. I was told to revert back to pursuing my previous Transfer application but before my application will be reviewed I need to provide my HND transcripts because they were not aware I have it before not until I told them. After hearing the sad news so I opt to finding other schools in the US and they accept my HND but on condition that I evaluate it by WES to be equivalent to BSC in USA. Some of the schools are Purdue University, University of Utah, Georgia Southern University, University of Houston, Stratford University, Kennesaw University, Merrimack College, Virginia International University. Please I want you to advise whether to go for the undergraduate studies in College of Staten Island with my age or should I evaluate my ND+HND with WES and apply to the aforementioned schools? And is there any chance of I getting up to 3.0 GPA after the evaluation by WES? Please your advice and constructive criticisms will be highly needed. Thank you. lagosismyhome justwise walspring and others please come to my aid |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Olalekank(m): 6:54pm On Mar 03, 2019 |
lifeofastar:Mbok, at that age, it's not advisable to apply for undergraduate studies. However since you've spoken with various schools who're willing to accept you for graduate studies, why not give them a shot? I beg, don't go to embassy with the undergraduate i20. It'd only give you a denial and decrease your chances of clinching the approval of your US visa. One quick question: are you sure you've been following this thread since Part 11? 1 Like |

I'm 32 years and I thought I should apply to undergraduate studies, what is my chance of getting visa approval by that she for undergraduate? Thanks 1 Like |
