Which school? Am facing same issue right now
KeLcHeE:
So graduate coordinator sends out an email asking if one would be joining the program come Fall 2019 (more like a broadcast email to all students admitted to the program). Meanwhile, attending the school is solely dependent on obtaining a GA or some form of funding at least. What is the best reply to give the grad cord in this situation?

P. S. Assistantship application has been duely submitted well over a month ago. Grad cord is aware, and when confronted on the GA award timeline sometime ago, all he said was "you will be notified if GA is awarded".

One would be thinking that HBCU are safe schools and are generous when it comes to funding
Until u apply and they start dishing BP's and put someone on high jump.[/quote]

What course are you going for?
kinibd:


I was denied the first time on December 31st 2018 at the Lagos Embassy, My original I 20 got to me on the 2nd of January and so I had to go with a scanned copy for the interview and the first question the VO asked me then was why did I come with a scanned copy, I told her that the original was still on transit and the look on her face was not encouraging and after asking me why this school and who will be sponsoring me, I got the pink paper and so I went back and requested for another I 20, made sure I got it then booked another interview at abuja

Got to the Abuja Embassy,

Me: Good morning (while smiling)

VO: Good morning pass me your passport please

Me: Passes Pasport while still smiling

VO: I can see from your F1 that you are applying for a student Visa can I see that

Me: Yes I am while passing the F1

VO: Have you ever been out of the country before?

Me : Yes I had my first degree in Ghana

VO: What did you study

Me: ICT

VO: What?

Me: Information and Communication Technology

VO: while typing...I dont see anything like that here

Me : I filled it in it should be there

VO: Oh i see it now...calls the name of my school and I nod then he asks how many schools gave me admission

Me : two schools

VO: what schools

Me: St Clouds State University and Concordia University St Paul

VO: Why did you choose St Clouds

Me: i chose St Clouds because of a couple of reasons, firstly they have a Business Computer Research Laboratory Equipped with workstations and enterprise level servers for research and teaching purposes and...

VO : cuts me off, yes well all schools in the usa have very good laboratories tell me why you chose this school

Me: well at the Laboratories at St Cloud, they create virtual machines that are used to support teaching database auditing  and networking packets  dumping and analyses and also...

VO: cuts me off again...well most schools have that as well

Me: Oh well then i chose them because they gave me a scholarship

VO: oh really, (looks at my I 20) well your scholarship is for $3000 and your total fees is about 19,000, how are you going to take care of the rest

Me: oh no, my Tuition and Fees is $9,500

VO: looks at I 20 again, okay so who is going to be paying for the rest

Me: My Parents

VO: what do they do

Me: My mom whose statement I have is blablabla

VO: I'm sorry what?

Me: my mom is blablabla and my dad is blablabla

VO: How did you hear about the school?

Me: One of my undergraduate course lecturer went to St. Clouds for a seminar and when he came back, he couldnt stop talking about the school and their laboratories and when i started searching for schools online to pursue my masters degree and St Cloud popped up again, i checked them out and the course they offered alligned with my career goals.

VO: Types for a while. Looks at me. So what are you going to be doing after you finish this program?

Me: The number of internet users in Nigeria has grown from about 20% of the population in 2010 to more than 50% of the population today and the more people that use the internet, the more networks there are, the more security there needs to be on them, this course will help me institute policies that protect organizations physical data and digital information and so i could become an IT consultant, I know i can, i tried to infuse what i learnt in my under graduate studies into my dads business by setting up a website and also creating a program that helps keep track of stock records.

VO: Can i see your bank statement

Me: passes it

VO: I am going to check this out and if I find anything wrong you will be banned from entering the USA, do you understand

Me: yes I do.

VO: types for a while, take this paper, (he gives me a white slip) you have to keep it safe because you will need it to enter the United States. Then he types for a while and gives me a yellow paper and says again if i find anything wrong with this account you will be banned, are you sure you still want to submit it

Me: Yes Sir

VO: okay welcome to the United States and make sure you keep that white slip safe ok

Me (while smiling) : okay sir thank you very much.

I hope this helps someone, I owe it all to God, I prayed like I had not prepared at all and I prepared like I had not prayed at all but its all the grace of God.

Last Bullet: I was so tensed the first time and so while rehearsing my answers for the second time, i noticed that smiling made me more relaxed and that was how i was able to overcome any nervousness, by smiling almost all through the interview.

I think this is a conditional admission
You have to do some course before you can me fully admitted to pursue the course of your choice

UNDERGRADUATE


We are contacting you today to confirm your interest in the fall and inform you of the following conditions of your acceptance.  

 

As you may be aware, we offers Bachelor’s Completion programs designed for learners who have an associate’s degree or some college credit already completed. This means you must have some college coursework completed prior to your full-time enrollment .  You are conditionally accepted  with the expectation that you will successfully complete 6-9 credits of college coursework at an institution of your choice, including enrollment in online courses we offer during the Summer 2019 Semester. 

 

If you are interested in pursuing your acceptance , we can enroll you in online courses for the summer semester in preparation for your Fall 2019 attendance full-time on campus.

 

Summer classes begin on May 6.  The registration deadline is May 12 for summer A half-semester courses and May 19 for summer full-semester courses. 

 

If you choose not to enroll in the online courses during the summer semester, you will need to provide proof of college-level courses in progress from a regionally-accredited institution to confirm you have met the conditions of your acceptance and are eligible to enroll in the Fall 2019 semester.  We must receive this proof by May 6, 2019.     

 

If you are an international student who requires support for F-1 visa status to study in the United States, please remember that you must submit your initial I-20 request with all the required documents by July 15 (in order to enroll in programs in Fall 2019 after your required college coursework completion this summer).

please help!!! I don't know what to do

Thanks
I have gone to post office several times I fact I even have the person in charges contact but up till now nothing .. for the pdf have emailed them again ...
nelem:


hi,
if possible take a stroll to the nearest nipost office to you (from the mailing address you indicated in your profile) say e.g if your mailing address is ilupeju,mushin you go to the nipost office @ mushin and ask if it's there. most times when some mails are unclaimed after certain period, nipost sends it back the original sender (in this case WES).

i am also surprised why your pdf report isnt showing on your dashboard. just check well.

cheers
Education / Re: Am Having Issues With Wes by Sosao(f): 9:58pm On Feb 04, 2019
Up till now there is no link for the pdf report ..and about 2months now I haven’t gotten my copy from Wes ..has anyone faced this before?
opella:

The pdf copy is supposed to show the same day your evaluation was completed . Can't you see download PDF report anywhere on your profile? If you can't, then send them a dm on Twitter or call them.

Please I sent a pm
I need more info about undergraduate program
checky619:


This is deep and honest truth but the reason I decided to use an agent is because 1. I'm going for an undergraduate course and this is the first time I will attempt applying for school in the states... Yes at a point I was doing the processes my self to Ashland University, but I'm required to write an exam which I don't have an idea about.. So the person I'm supposed to meet in the states referred the agent he used to me, so I met her and asked questions.
