Nostradamus1:
All this schools that are giving ission few days to resumption sha.
Pls try and find good schools that allows you at least 2 months to 3 months to prepare lest you become stranded.

LoL. If a student leave a Lab for reasons, it's only okay for the professor to find a replacement, so schools can roll out spring it even at this time. They expect you to depend on luck to get visa and it's okay if such candidate don't get it. Schools don't lose

Yes, you should first the supervisor you will like to work with.

PhD is not Masters. It's usually competitive and they are very selective. So, to increase your chances, you will go to the faculty page and choose the professor that their research interests align with yours and send them cold email. In your cold email, you will introduce yourself, talk about your GPA, your research interests, your proposed research topic, and your interest to be mentored and supervised by them.

***Please, one professor per department per school.

In your cold email, you can even request for a Zoom meeting at their earliest convenience. A professor that replies you and agrees for a Zoom meeting, is probably interested in working with you.

After meeting with them on Zoom meeting, send in your application. In your Statement of Purpose, state the fact that you will like to be mentored by that professor and that you have had a conversation with them via Zoom.

Also, ission decisions for Fall 2023 will be coming in by February and March. ission portals for Fall usually opens around September or October. So, you will have to exercise patience to get a decision.

PhD isn't as competitive as masters, in term of getting funded and scholarship, Msc is the most difficult.

Also, avoid schools that make it compulsory to select a"would -be " PI before they can review your app. It's an okay thing to do a professor but that's a long route as most of them won't even respond their email. PhD programs do lab rotation and you're expected to attend a seminar class in your First year where faculty will present their research and lab every week. This will guide you to choose a PI. Having a PI take you in with his funding is cool, but I will mostly advise people to apply to schools first for the majority of their applications. Although, talking to a professor will help you, if he replies anyways

Hi bro,
This is a wonderful response. Please, for someone who is interested in studying Biomedical science or a related discipline (PhD), what schools can you recommend for spring issions. The Person has a masters degree in Biomed with a distinction from a university in the UK and currently resident there.
Best Regards

If you're looking for an ivy league kind of school, Cornell has a robust and beautiful biomed program (PhD). However, if you want to have like a 90% chance of being itted quickly, R1 universities are your bet. R1 universities are second to ivy league and there are only just eight ivy league in the US.

Texas tech university is good and they offer it to lot of Nigerians. I ed they once it me for spring but didn't go. Fall it for their PhD biomed is still much available.

I don't think it's Okay to lie. Why not tell him the truth and let him decide if he's going to stay or not? Anyone that's going to stay with you will stay regardless

Hello house, please I need some kind of assistance with my application process. To start with I am applying for a PhD in Mass Communication or Communication Arts/Studies. Can someone share a list of schools that I can apply to for fall 2023 with full funding.

Also, can I use a statement of result in place of transcript. Unilag is unable to give me a student copy of my Masters transcript because of my matric year (2008). They asked that I present a school that it will be sent to and I do not have one for now. The next option is the statement which contains basically same thing. I have a copy of my undergraduate transcript though.

Lastly, is it possible to get a kind of hand holding service through the application and visa process? My target is still fall 2023. Thank you.

If you're thinking about Fall 23,you should be deciding on how to package your application by now. Most schools decide on Fall ission by February, some in January and some have even decided. If you're considering Fall 23,try and send your application before January so you can have chance to get scholarships or funding. But if your transcript isn't ready at this time, consider spring application. Most schools that it for spring open application around May/June/July.

If by statement of results, you mean the equivalent of a certificate? No you can't use that. You need transcript that detailed your course by courses modules and their ascribed grades. US schools doesn't even need certificate. Transcript is very very important.

In case you want schools that it for spring, I might be able to offer help on that for people in STEM but just not for your kind of degree

Okay I may not have put everything in details, I just tried to the basics, but omo this people don't rate we Nigerians at all, there is this feeling you get when you are being interviewed.

They just glide through you and the next person, next person again, like I don't get to be in front of a VO for an interview , it cost so much money, so fucking much and not everyone is privileged to have such money talk less of investing it in schooling abroad, now I want to school abroad, gotten the ission(which is supposed to be the most difficult part) you just reject and reject over and over again, not just me but applicants before me... And some after me.
There has to be an investigation into this people because I just see this as a fraud scheme, how can someone be spending money on their future and at the whole end it is a game of luck between you and your star.
I am never trying ths USA EMBASSY again, just some frauds, if they don't want Nigerians in their country, simply close your border to us, rather than receiving applications and just judging the applicant on the spot from what you feel.
Haa this one pain me o, and I will never forget it. If not that this country is bleeped up, why will I go to a stupid embassy of a fucking country that is bleeped as Bleep... Nonsense

I understand how you feel about this, and one thing you should know is that the outcome of an F1 Visa doesn't necessarily determine whether you're going to do fine in life or not. It's just what it is;a student visa .

However, one thing I want to say is that the officers are trained to quickly look at applications and make decisions within a very short time frame. Contrary to what most people will tell you that the outcome of your F1 Visa has been determined before you appear just From your submitted DS 160. No. Officers don't take a look at your files before you appear for the interview as they have so many interview to grant on a daily basis.

But your DS 160 should be packaged with good information that are only beneficial to your case. What happen in an F1 Visa interview is that The officer scan your port as you present yourself and the information on you DS 160 will appear right there. He pays close attention to what is in front of him than what you say sometimes. He looks for discrepancies in what you're saying and what you fill on your DS 160. You might've filled an information that revealed that you have nobody in the US. He'll ask questions relating to that and decide to serve rejection if what you say doesn't tally.

Also, try as much as possible to go for the interview with credible schools and colleges. Someone that already has BSC in Nigeria and now going to a community college in the US will appear somehow. People in such cases have been granted visa and most were not.

Lastly, the outcome of visa interview is still subjected to the interviewers discretion. And for the most part,interviewers have denied visa for no reasons.

Just read what you wrote again àwé
He carried her back to the club against her will as she was kicking and fighting to leave the club with her guy. Moreover in case you don't know security guys are only empowered to throw out the unruly violent party. It's the girl's prerogative whether she intends to stay or leave.
Now try again.
