<p>Olasco, is your brother Seyi? I know that he is attending Georgetown now. Might be purely coincidental in any case.</p>
<p>yeah he’s brother is seyi… I was surprised too. </p>
<p>hey switch, are you paying the full tuition? or are you on scholarship/financial aid?</p>
<p>WOW…this is amazing…almost everyone here knows each other personally…
btw, Hi to evry Nigerian friends here…(Maddy<em>01,switch,transferko,Olasco,tuoyo00, Wengerism</em>007…)…:)…</p>
<p>^^its amazing right?^</p>
<p>For all the nigerians on this board, I say hi to u to… 
</p>
<p>So to the nigerians here, what do you guys plan to study in uni?</p>
<p>For me - computer sci - engineering/pre-med lol I know</p>
<p>
Wat???CS-Engineering is ok…but pre-med…I mean will u manage biology n maths simultaneously in HS?</p>
<p>Maddy, I got a full ride (I feel rather fortunate). Amherst has a wonderful endowment (1.3 billion dollars and still growing).</p>
<p>Nice to meet you, issacnewton. </p>
<p>Btw, where is everyone applying to?</p>
<p>Oh…its a pleasure switch…WOW…u got full ride…good thing…but where…Amherst??</p>
<p>To Isaac Newton:
schooling in nigeria is VERY different. In secondary school, I took Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Further mAths, Geography, bla bla blah all at the same time for three years.</p>
<p>Thats the system in Nigeria. You choose up to 8-9 subjects and take it for three years of Senior secondary school (aka High school). I took all science related courses. So i can pretty much go into whatever (related to science subjects) in College. Besides I graduated last year. Am taking a gap year.</p>
<p>To switch - that is awesome… you must have had some wonderful stats.</p>
<p>Oh…I got it then…
I m takin gap yr as well(graduated from school last yr)…this gap yr could hav been awesome if I were in US…(coz here, the opportunities in activities for a gap taker is none)…</p>
<p>Yeah its almost the same here. ONe can hardly find worthwhile opportunities.</p>
<p>But I am taking french classes. Its really improving my fluency. Its like an immersion program for 6 months. I am in the 2nd month, and I already know a reasonable amount of french. But yeah, I am doing all sorts of stuff here. What about you? My advice is to NOT waste this year. You really can learn or do amazing things that u would have never had the time for.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em>…there is no option here…except to take IIT(Indian Institute of Technology Entrance Exam Preparatory classes)…the prep. is quite tough coz d level of exam is hard.(yes…APs/As hav no chance in front of it)…</p>
<p>Newton, I’m a freshman at Amherst (hence that is where I got the full ride to). It’s been fun so far but tons of work.</p>
<p>If you guys don’t mind my asking, where did everyone apply this year?</p>
<p>Wow, y’all av gone so far its hard to catch up…lol</p>
<p>Newaiz, here are ma stats:</p>
<p>SAT: 1240/1900
Critical: 690, Writting: 660, Math: 550.
GPA: 3.5/4.0</p>
<p>But, although i did my secondary school in Nigeria- my school was able to provide AP classes so i was able to add the AP classes to my resume…maddy01 shuld knw abt this…lol</p>
<p>lol…yeah I am still amazed that your school offers AP classes. I think Loyola Jesuit Secondary School offers APs too. </p>
<p>To Switch : I have already stated the schools I am applying to on the first page of this forum. Are there any other Nigerians out there??</p>
<p>hi guys I’m back. Howz most of u ED going thru.Well I applied to vassar ED and it looks like I am going to enter.And to those asking whether my bro is Seyi yes he is.I know about u(switch) from him.He said u got full(amherst as evrybody knows).Sorry I have not been able to post much but i have already mentioned the fact that my schoolwork and IMPENDING waec wont allow me.and also tuoyoo what are the schools u applied to.</p>
<p>hanging in there isaacnewton" :)</p>
<p>so yep, I finished school at 16 and took 2 gap years…I really don’t believe there’re no opportunities to make your gap year worthwhile…your gap year’s really what you make of it. </p>
<p>how’s it going switch?</p>
<p>and good luck to y’all in your apps and stuff.</p>
<p>Hi guys! The work here is killing me and so that was why I have not been able to do anything worthwhile. Just wanted to say hi to everyone.</p>
<p>hey Jrock, howz it goin?..2 yrs gap!!..WOW…thats amazing…well, as for me, I m tryin hard for activities…hoping against the hope that I will find some really interesting activity(obiviously not to 2 impress the adcoms…rather to satisfy myself…)…</p>
<p>whoa JRock, 2 years gap? wow! What exactly did you do for the 2 years?</p>
<p>Yea Jrock! am curious?</p>
