Hannania: 4.15 is 3.15 on a 4 point Scale |

KlausMichaelson: Lol..Are you for real? You don't need to reply him since you didn't understand the question.... 4.15 is between the range of 3.5-3.6 on a 4pt scale using wes evaluation 3 Likes |

KlausMichaelson:you're miles apart from it. Even a 3.15/5 would equate to 3.0/4.0. 2 Likes |

Eniolakiite: Can you blame them for not been honest ....even here you can see many don't want to hear the truth but only want to hear what they want to hear .... Experience is always the best teacher but it can be costly as well so sometimes you leave people to eventually walk into reality 6 Likes |

Hannania: When you multiply your 4.0 scale GPA by 1.25, you will get the 5.0 scale equivalence. Same way if you divide your 5.0 scale GPA by 1.25, you will get the 4.0 scale equivalence. 1 Like |

KlausMichaelson: Wes evaluation is not calculated that way...Not a mathematical expression you just did....The person should use free wes calculator evaluation online....His CGPA should fall inbetween 3.5-3.6 3 Likes |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by KlausMichaelson: 3:26pm On Aug 13, 2020 |
mayDtolu: Sir with or without WES Evaluation, there is no way a 4.15/5.0 Cgpa will equal 3.5 to 3.6 / 4.0 cgpa. It is less than that. 1 Like |

KlausMichaelson:Check wes before you argue....I have 4.19/5 and wes unofficial equals it to 3.54(I remove my 6units project and 6unit IT) So 4.15 will surely hit 3.5/4 1 Like |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by KlausMichaelson: 4:29pm On Aug 13, 2020 |
horlahsunbo225: Obviously your 6Unit Project and 6Units IT grades were not too high to have a greater part of your CGPA. If you didn't have A's in the both of them, then not including them and their respective Units to your WES Evaluation will surely have favoured your WES Evaluation. Prove me wrong Sir. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by mayDtolu(m): 4:47pm On Aug 13, 2020 |
KlausMichaelson: Lol...You can google and make more research on it..There is a thread on nairaland that discuss more about wes evaluation and you will see many people CGPA on 5pt scale and the equivalent on a 4pt scale.... |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by KlausMichaelson: 5:06pm On Aug 13, 2020 |
mayDtolu: Alright there is Absolutely no problem Sir. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Hannania(m): 5:54pm On Aug 13, 2020 |
KlausMichaelson:nice work. But previously on this thread, I've seen people with below 3.5 on a 5 point scale getting a 3.0 and above on a 4 point scale, and can very well remember a guy around part 12 who had a 4.18/5 or there about getting a 3.5+/4 through WES evaluation. I guess WES conversion ain't same with conventional logic we make use of. |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Hannania(m): 5:57pm On Aug 13, 2020 |
TrojanSnail:From previous evaluations posted here through WES, that logic does not apply |

Hello Everyone, Please, I need safe schools suggestions for PhD in Management (Focal study area; Organization Structure/Human resources). I went through the thread and found about 20+ Uni offering PhD in management for fall 2021 but one thing that kept popping up on this thread is Safeties. I have plans to apply for 3-4schools. Please anyone with info on these safeties, Please help a sister...Thanks in advance |

Predstan: Hello Predstan I'm fascinated by your story and it's interesting to know you've achieved all you said. Well done. I have two questions 1) Are you doing master's, phd or bsc with your HND? 2) Do you have a full scholarship? 3) If 1) and 2) are true, can you give a long list of schools that give full scholarships with HND from naija? Did they require GRE? I have 2 people I really want to help with information. One has distinction ond and hdn in statistics; another has upper credit ond and hnd in computer science..Both went to top 5 polytechnic in naija...I'm show you can guess where. If you can give me detailed information, we could have have these two people take the GRE before December and follow through with the other process. Let me hear from you soon. If you want, you can drop an email where I can email you, get your number and then speak. Many thanks |

gaeul: What's your profile like? See my response to the guy on the other thread - letters are important. Let's start with your profile...GPA/GRE/research experience/work experience/have you written intensive research stuff? |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by Admitwithschola: 7:47pm On Aug 13, 2020 |
Hannania: Even, I think WES made a little rounding error, lol. 4.18/5 should be around 3.55-3.6. But grades are mostly curve in the US, not same in Naija - at least when I went to school. This could make the grades of some otherwise okayish students in the US to look good, even very good. An example of curving is giving A to the person with the highest score in the class....That highest score does not have to be the highest possible score that is needed to get A...In fact, it can change from year to year, that's what gives a student an A. Whereas in naija, we once did a course and nobody got A because all scores <70. In a curved system, the highest score would get A and even some scores slightly lower. That's why a letter of recommendation describing your rank in class is very important 3 Likes |

bigfrancis21: Thank you for taking your time to post this for the young lad/girl. It's true and there are no secret desire to discourage anybody in your post. Nonetheless, the young lad/girl can still try their luck if they have the money. Anything good can come out, we may never know... But, please, to the young lad/girl, know that you're competing against some other crazy kids from naija..Those with, yes, 9A1, 7 A* in IGCSE, >330 in Jamb, and almost 9 in IELTS. Yes, this is a real profile and some kids have it in naija. For example, my friend's daughter...16/17 years old. But again, anything can happen, so still try your luck, but be realistic. Finally, my own advice to my sister's son with 5 B2 and 3 B3......Do a BSc in Nigeria, get as close to 5.0 GPA as possible, then come here for your MS/PhD. As the above poster rightly said, it's way easier to get a full ride for grad school, even MBA, than it is for undergrad. Every year, people go for grad studies from naija on full scholarships, even at top top schools, name them... Another thing I've mandated that my sister's son to do is for him to start reading for the GRE from year 1. I gave him all the material. We don't want stories. The lad/girl you responded to may want to adopt same style. Good luck to him or her 7 Likes |
