I don't think transferring is the best option for you only if you don't want scholarships... To the best of my knowledge i don't think schools gives scholarship to transfer students...
Okay can u be of any help. Don't really know how to go about it. Is it important to have SAT/ACt certificate

Tell them your visa was refused. But let the school know you have made them your choice and so, you wish to defer so that you can prepare and go for another interview. Indicate in your message you'd then need an updated i-20 for the intended term, and you'd like them to ship as soon as convenient. With that, get yourself ready for another interview. Wish you the best!

After SAT, the following are to be provided for:

1. Application fees to at least 2 schools
2. WES evaluation fee (in case the schools you choose required it).
3. Posting of documents (if ever necessary)
4. Paying SEVIS fee after admission
5. Visa fee
6. Flight ticket


NOTE: if your score is not high enough so that full-ride scholarship is not secured, how would you pay the balance?
You need someone very enlightened to guide you. It is good to desire American education, but the to-dos to make it possible are many.
While your faith and confidence in yourself is commendable, you need to be realistic on how to fund the steps listed above. We will help you with SAT fee if you come up with how you plan to provide for those stuffs.

Hi guys. .. .pls I want to know. Can I schedule a visa appointment while waiting for my I-20 to arrive or should I just wait for the I-20 before starting any visa process.

There are scholarships for transfer students. He should check the school he's transferring to.

Thank you for your question sir, If I'm able to do the SAT and impressed my Dad.... My Dad is able to finance all those above coz he is a top staff at where he works and earns good pay... He recently told me to get a scholarship and that he is ready if I am able to ...Now I don't think the problem is the money but what I believe he might have in mind is, If I am able to get a scholarship then I would be able to go and succeed in my studies in the states...

My Dad will take care of this too...

What is not advisable? Every student, freshman, transfering, graduate, PhD--virtually every one--needs scholarship! You don't want to do without it.

You know, this is not what I was expecting. He told you to get a scholarship before he can support your academic endeavour. And you are just 19! hmm! Did you tell him what is required to secure a scholarship? I think you don't need any financial help; what you need is the insight to have your Dad understand your academic plan and why studying abroad matters to you and your life goals. At your age, your Dad should support you from the scratch--if he's capable as you hint here.

Open a potential university admission webpage to him and show him the requirements for scholarship you hope to secure. Have him read the page. Tell him the key to the scholarship is Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and you can confidently sit and pass the exam if he register you. Tell him you will make the family proud to have been offered admission and scholarship to study in the US. I'd give my son all he needs if he tells me that!

If he earns good pay and money is not the problem for him, and he can later pay the balance (which could amount to millions (should you not pass the SAT score to secure full scholarship), then how much is 50k SAT registration that he cannot invest now?
Now, you have an assignment to complete. Your first homework is to convince him. He's your Dad! He has responsibility to make this happen for you if he's financially capable as you said. This is the case, or something is fishy here.

Please use this opportunity to take the GRE if you haven't and apply to a notable school.

If you’ve not heard back from MTU by this time, you’ve probably been waitlisted.
Their chemistry program is so small and they’re stingy with funding as you know. Did you apply to other schools?
I just applied in late march though.
dunno how long or fast they admit.
no I didn't.

My Dad works everyday of the week including the weekends ... Opening a potential university webpage to show him would be the hardest thing to do on earth... But now I'm at my Computer education centre and i don't go home until my break

Nothing fishy nowhere all this i had told him, If he had agreed I wouldn't have the cause to come here and beg for the registration., and I cannot go steal his money for registration and that's if i know the code to his safe. He told me he is not spending a dime but if I'm able to get a scholarship then he will.


Sir, Will you register me for SAT? I needed to take this test ... I need to unleash my capicity Pls help me Unleash them cry

I know of people who got around this time... can you be more specific on the rejection? What stage were you and what reason did they provide. By the way, prodigy isn't running out of funds, infact they need more applicants because it is a very lucrative business to them.

Do you mean this time last year or this year? The last person i know that got applied in march, By the way I'm at the very first stage before the uploading of any documents. I even called them and they said they don't give reasons for the rejection. I don't know any Nigerian(for STEM courses) that has tried it this month that got it. Irrespective of the schools. Top schools that are among their listed schools. You can try creating an application and see, takes less than 3 minutes to create a dummy application, no need to upload anything.
