I greet u all my good people... I appreciate d good work u guys are doing in here. The information that has been dropped here since part 1 of this thread is unquantifiable and has been of immense help 2 alot peeps.

I've been observing and reading silently (pardon my silent mode)... I would like 2 state my case humbly and as well get as much info d house could offer.

Am a BSc holder... Am aiming to be admitted come this Winter Semester. I've applied (though a bit late) 4 my masters in Cottbus-BTU Bradenburg via Uni-assist. I've made my payment & as well hav receive an acknowledgement and payment receipt via mail but till date d status of my applications are still showing 'processing not yet started' even though d application deadline has elasped.

My questions...
- For those that hav been makin use of Uni-assist services, is there any mail they ought to hav send i've not receive apart from d ones i started above.


- What are my chances of still being admitted seeing that alot of prospective Winter Semester peeps have already gotten their admisson letter and some has already secured their Visa but mine is yet to be processed by uni-assist before onward forwarding to my chosen School.

- To avoid missing out this Semester - knowing fully well i will bang d admission with my degree Cert. - i had to apply for BSc too. as well in same Course & School. Do u guys think my action would limit my chances of getting admitted for d Masters (assuming dsame admission panel for Masters would still precide over that of Degree) on d ground my action looks desperate.

Pls pardon if my questions, somehow, hav been answered previously... And to some that might see my questions as weird . When u see testimonies flying around, u tend to be more apprehensive and anxious to receive yours as well.

Waiting in anticipation for a reply. Thank you all.

And to guys that hav secure theirs... Congratutions! I will rejoice with u guys soon.
Isha Allah.

i uploaded a link that can help on that before check thread 131

Please I really want the house to help me here. I have been able to peruse the thread and the information I found was really helpful.

I am that individual that is not afraid to take the next step and most importantly to be HAPPY.

To cut the goose chase...

I got to the university so early (age 16) and I know family and the environment influenced my course of study selection (Petroleum engr). Made a 2.1 grade and after my NYSC, went to the states for MSc in the same field. But the shock of the whole thing is that I realized I so love the psychology field and I know I will be so fulfilled if I find my self in this field. So that's why I am planning on taking this huge step of going after my heart.

Please note that psychology does not pay so well and that's just to buttress my point that it is for the passion and not just a source of income. I did 1 year internship with an oil multinternational company before leaving for Msc and yes I can affirm they spoil you..

From schools in germany researched so far, it is advisable I kick start with a Bsc. And honestly, I prefer that starting point and I also intend to get Msc and PhD because psychology is very research intensive. Cumulatively,the years to be spent is 8 years. I know other aspect of life like starting a family will fall in place with time and also a potential means of sustenance that will not distract me from studies is being planned.

I have this questions to ask:

*Is it a red flag if the interviewer or even prospective school know I already have an Msc in the states. (Honestly, I want to hide this point)
*Is there going to be a suspicion as relating my first degree to my proposed first degree?
*Should I be honest, as to following my heart.
*Can I use my first degree to apply for this Bsc. My first school leaving cert are not impressive that well

Addition:

I intend to have the C level for german language to help my chances (starting A1 next month). I am focusing on next year or 2 years time (don't know yet),but I know I have to do it if I don't want to regret not doing it later.

Note: I don't wish anyone to be in my shoes. Despite doing well in the oil field, I have never said to myself that I feel fulfilled. Yes, there's good potential for great lifestyle but this passion (psychology, a little of philosophy) always beckon on me since far back as 2008. I have even taken the bold step of not letting any friends or family members know until everything is cooked up and ready to be served.

Please help with my questions and also render suggestion. Thank you all.

Ceeesaw:

You are taking a major bold step. Kudos for that. Ok let me outline my points as follows..
1) Some schools are specific with the certificates you need to apply for their admission. So for those kind of schools just give them what they ask for.
2) If any school asks for all your academic qualification, don't hide it. State every part of it. If they require motivation letter,then you can use that to convince them that you know what you are doing.
3) Hiding the first degree and Msc will rathee raise eyebrows because there will be a huge time gap between your school cert and the period you are now pursuing a degree. So the question will be "what did you do with that time"?
4) The worst mistake anyone can do when applying for a visa is to withhold valid information. The interview might expose you. Unless you have serious alibi to explain what you have been doing for over 4 years. Even if you do its not advisable.
5) I will advice you come up with 3 serious reasons why you want to abandon your first degree, when you seem to be doing so well in it. That is if you don't have the reasons already. Stating just passion may not suffice. You could add past experience or a research you want to do in the future. Our dear Chinkogerman(visa officer) will have fun asking you this question

In summary when applying for anything don't withhold information. So long as you know what you are doing and ready to defend yourself, your first degree will not create problems

Ahbbiey:
Just like Ceeesaw said this is a bold step. Congrats on following your passion.

As for your questions:

1. It is not a red flag if the embassy or VO or school you are applying to knows you have a Master's from the states. The only thing you need to do is give them proper reasons as to why you want pursue a second degree....in a completely unrelated field.

2. Since you are going for a Bachelor's and not a Master's in psychology your first degree has not business in the equation. Unless you can think of a way to relate the two together. You might just be asked why are you leaving Petroleum Engineering for Psychology. (It boils done to having the right reasons.)

3. You should be honest as a person in general. Ad to following your heart that is something you should decide for yourself. You sound confused though, it is like you have made up your mind but you are either looking for people to tell you that you are making the right or wrong choice. It is your life, you are an adult, do as you please.

4. Usually the different Universities have their different requirements for courses, you should check out the requirements and then you will know whether or not you can use your first degree to apply. If it is still not clear to you, it is best you email the school(s) or its (their) psychology department, they would tell you better than anyone here.

So in summary:
- make up your mind properly, do not have one leg in and one finger out.
- DO NOT hide information especially something like your previous Msc, you will be asked about it.
- do your research: take a look at schools, their requirements, ask questions now so when you are ready to apply you will be a 'guru' and have a hitch free application process.
- find your solid reasons (a thirst for knowledge is a good one)

All the best

hi
don't hide it to the interviewer that you had a msc before and now you found your course of choice.go for it.it's a plus
cheers

crowns2:


From my experience when I went for my interview, you will be asked those questions. Those questions you asked here, you have to answer them honestly to yourself first, then you can convince the V.O because you are convinced yourself. Then again, you need to show past documents as evidence so as to back up your arguments.
A guy I was interviewed with had a Bsc. and was diverting to another field for another Bsc. I was there, he was asked why the diversion? what have you been doing? etc They wont just follow your story you need proof.
N. B 2 years is a long time to aim for education in Germany. Personally I observed that schools and the embassy are getting stricter. It seems that more people are heading towards Germany now. The crowd you meet at the gate alone is a testimony to that effect. Pesonally I think you should pursue your studies soonest. Besides who knows in 2 years time just maybe, free tuition would have ended?
