Congrats Sipicilia. God is wonderful.

Hey everyone

Please, House gurus; my sponsor, who is based in the UK, wants to give me his National Bonds statement. Will that enough for the Embassy? Or does it have to be a bank statement?

Hi guys

For undergraduate studies, I understand that it is understandable to evaluate transcripts. Several times on the thread, people have talked about evaluating WAEC results using WES

I would like to ask,
1. How long does it take WES to evaluate the WAEC result?
2. Can a GCE (which you did not write in your high school) result be evaluated?
3. Can just the combo of Evaluated WES result, TOEFL and SAT be used to gain ission into US schools?

Anticipating your responses. Thanks

1. No GRE / Gmat for MBA?, you sound like an unserious student looking for cheap ission.


2. Choosing Franklin University (unranked) over northeastern University with a 40 tie rank? ( check my attachment). You sounded more unserious.

If you are a Nigerian V.O . And someone told you he chose odududwa University in ife over covenant University in Ota (both private university),

How would your reaction be?,

If truely northeastern gave you ission. Pls reschedule your interview and accept that of northeastern University. You have a better chance with it than Franklin.

My own opinion, I may be wrong though.

I finished from FUTA ,estate management to be precise with a 2.41 2nd class lower grade. I need advice on how best I can further in the USA with this grade.

The first step is to convert your GPA to US standard using WES IGPA free online calculator and see what you get.Then,proceeds to check school requirements for your course.Check TOEFL/IELTS/PTE requirements and GRE requirements.

2.41/5.0?,

1. Evaluate your cgpa to 4.0 using free wes calculator

2. Use for result to search from google on schools that accepts your "wes result" for your "desired masters course" in USA.

3. Put your personal or family funds together because you have a slim chance of getting funding with that grade. You may lucky for a partial funding if you have higher GRE test score
Muleriders: 12:04pm On Oct 20, 2019
hammed71:
guys is it too late to apply for spring 2020

No. Some schools still accept applications until November. However, the only problem is with visa.

You have to wait to get ission,
You have to wait for I20 to arrive Nigeria,
You have to book visa appointment
And you might not be lucky to get a date before your resumption.



So, it's a risk. Try to submit applications. If itted and was able to get I20 and interview date before your resumption, fine. If not, you can always defer your ission to the next term
Pefuele(m): 12:05pm On Oct 20, 2019
hammed71:
guys is it too late to apply for spring 2020

Not really.Some school deadline is October 31st,some November 1st and some December 1st.So,it is not really late.

Before applying confirm the school deadline for priority funding if you are looking for funding.
