castrotroy80:

Thanks zeezah, but am sorry to ask this. Hope the school does not share information with the embassy, i mean the information i used in applying for admission. Though it was the old passport i used to apply for admission and at the time i was filling the ds160, i used the new passport number.
My question now is does the school one is going share students information with the embassy?

Theflint1: Google rarely fails. Go online and search for these texts:
1) Barron's SAT 2400, it would make the difference when tackling those hard questions. very important.
2) Mastering the SAT math by jerry Bobrow, would help in tackling the easy questions.
3) Go to the college board website and download all available practice tests, u could just Google "free download of SAT practice test questions" and voilà!
4) GET UR OFFICIAL SAT STUDY GUIDE(HARD COPY), a complete soft copy that contains the practice tests ain't available online(trust me on this) and darn! one needs those practice tests for speed and accuracy building- heard its found "under the bridge at Yaba and Ikeja for 1500-2000."
5) Get the Barron's "critical reading workbook for the SAT" by Sharon Weiner Green.
6) Mastering the SAT critical reading test by Thomas R. Davenport.
7) "501 critical reading questions" by learning express, New York.




McGraw-Hill's SAT text, 2010 edition
9) Download several essay prompts and learn as many new words as you can.

All these stuffs and more are available free online for at most 50mb. That's about the help I can give.

Nigeria no get that kin season. Na raining season n dry season

Rubywoo: Hello everyone.Got my visa approved at the Abuja Embassy this morning. It was surprising to know interviews were granted on Saturdays too.

First of all I want to thank God Almighty, the God of my Father Bishop David Oyedepo, and all my Pastors under Him, this is indeed strange act of God for which I am grateful.

And thanks to everyone on this forum, your experiences, personal help and mails were really helpful. You all are amazing people.

As is the custom in my local Church, I went for pastoral prayers concerning the interview a few days before (it NEVER fails).

So my appointment was for 8:30 this morning. I got to the embassy at about 7:50am and we were called in at about 8:30am.

We did all the needful blah blah blah and I waited my turn.

I was called in by the nice looking lady in the 8th cubicle, and we exchanged pleasantries’ don’t remember who greeted who first.

VO: so what school are you going?

Me: I tell her.

VO: Have you travelled out of the country before (I was a little taken aback by this question, I didn’t expect it)

Me: Yes

Vo: Where?

Me: I told her

Vo: So you were there for four years

(I can’t really remember how dis part of the interview went, but it was something around these lines)

Me: No 6 years, I was there for 6 years.

VO: Do you have a master’s degree already?

Me: No. I am a doctor; I spent 6 years there getting a medical degree.

(Maybe because of my age she thought I went for a master’s degree)

Vo: OK, what are you going for?

Me: I’m going for a master’s degree in public health

Vo: What would this degree do for you?

Me: Well currently I work as a physician in a government hospital, and most of our patients are really poor people and inspite of the fact that the bills are cheap, they still cant afford what we ask them to pay. So I want to change my approach to patient care. I want to come from a preventive point of view so that I can reach more poor people and teach them to prevent the diseases rather than come and cant afford treatments.

(I don’t think I was this eloquent but this was the general idea I gave her, and I seemed to have been going on and on lol! She looked really interested, and let me keep talking. This is what really happens at my working place and I am truly passionate about this so I guess my passion came forth for me)

VO: So who is sponsoring you?

Me: My uncle

Vo: What does he do?

Me: He is the CEO of blah blah blah and blah blah blah company.

VO: let me have your account statements

I hand it over to her, and she goes thru it for a while and hands it back to me with my I-20 and the white paper saying something. I wasn’t listening anymore.

The reason I emphasize that its all God is that
1.I didn’t write any standardized exam: No TOEFL, no GRE and it wasn’t asked.

2. I didn’t have an extension letter from the school and she told me to come for my passport on the day which is the deadline date for me by the school to get into the US, as stated on my I-20.

Special Thanks to Streetmic, Idazbwaz, Joenice, Ashigolo, Goldenchic (My very personal paddy of life.) and to everyone.

May God bless all your beautiful hearts.
And for those who were delayed and those still going for interviews, May the God of heaven show you all favour.

Bless.
