And what if the VO choose to ask the very questions you'd want him to expunge, leaving out the ones you predicted. My advice to all applicants is to prepare thoroughly and extensively as much as they can; but pay good attention to the more probables. It is good to prepare no doubt about that, Sir. |

ProYouWebsiteUK: Please fams, I have a friend that holds an HND degree and wants to do WES Evaluation, will she evaluate her WAEC too? Or is it only her OND and HND Transcripts that she will evaluate?
I've gone through their site but I couldn't get the information there
Thank you Just ND and HND would do unless the school asks you to evaluate high school transcript. |

Very good, however you won't be asked all this questions - don't try to cram this, you won't sound natural. Smile, relax and have a conversation with the VO and you'll be just fine. seun407: Hello wonderful people of USA Student Visa Thread, I have been following this thread for years now. I am about to go for my interview. Please I need the gurus in the house to help me review my transcript. God will bless as you do so. Thanks.

V.O- Which school are you going to study at? ME- University of Denver.
V.O- How did you get to know about the school of your choice? ME- I first came across DU in a group I follow on LinkedIn called Students of LinkedIn. I did an extensive research on the school and I also checked reviews and ranking, it was given an average rating of 4 stars on all platforms I researched on. It is also ranked as 96th in National Universities and 58th in best value schools and I was convinced that it will be a perfect school for my graduate studies.
V.O- Why are you not pursing your Master degree in Nigeria ME- An academic experience from the US is highly valuable around the world. Also, US universities offer excellent research opportunities. On top of that, having global exposure tremendously helps to advance my career. The American education system has been deemed the best amongst all others and I be believe their programs are well structured for my field.
V.O- How many schools did you apply to? ME- I applied to four schools
V.O-Namely? ME- Purdue University, Regis University, University of Vermont and University of Denver
V.O- Why did you choose the school? ME- I applied to DU because they offer a concentration in software design and programming which is in line with my career goals. There are a lot of similarities between both schools but the most distinguishing difference is their educational approach which is learning by doing. Students take part in small focused classes, where they improve understanding through conversations that draw from the vast range of experiences on a subject matter. I would to love to adopt and apply this collaborative approach in my field after graduation.
V.O- What are the courses you will be taking? Core Courses 1. ICT Business Foundations 2. ICT Technical Foundations 3. Enterprise Architecture 4. Capstone Project or Seminar Concentration Course 1. Web Enabled Information system 2. Object-Oriented Methods 3. Distributed Computing 4. Object-Oriented Programming Elective Courses 1. .Net Programming with C# 2. Java Programming 3. Python Programming 4. Web Development with Ruby on Rails
V.O- What are your core courses and how are they related to your field of interest? ME- 1. ICT Business Foundations: This course will provide an overview of the relationship between business needs and ICT solutions. This problem will equip me with skill required to define a problem, establish a business, perform appropriate research, propose and analyze alternative solutions, identify decision criteria and make recommendations based on considerations as benefits. 2. ICT Technical Foundations: This course will provide a substantive review of the technology at the core of the ICT industry, coverage includes hardware, network technology, databases, information services, applications and content in enterprise contexts. 3. Enterprise Architecture: In this course I will learn how to integrate information and communications technologies to effectively and efficiently support business goals. The course will provide me with an overview of the global enterprise-wide architectural framework that drives business decisions regarding selection and implementation of ICT systems and solutions.
V.O- What is your study plan? ME- A minimum of 3.0/4.0 is required for my graduation. For the first quarter and second quarter of the academic year starting from this fall, I will be offering 12 credit hours. 4 credit hours each for ICT Business Foundations, ICT Technical Foundations and Enterprise Architecture.

V.O- Name some of your professors. ME- Dr. Kris Jamsa, He will be taking Object-Oriented Methods, Dr. Judd Roberts, He is the instructor for Object-Oriented Programming and Sanka Lehksmy, ICT Business Foundations.
V.O- Why are you switching from Environmental Management to Software Engineering? M.E- While I was pursuing my bachelor’s degree I joined a coding bootcamp where I learnt software programming. It really fascinated me because I was able to write a piece of code to instruct the computer to do something for me. In the bootcamp I was giving a project to work on. It was called Store Manager. The Store Manager is a web application that helps store owners manage sales and product inventory. The project exposed me to the art of coding. Through this project I learnt project management with Pivotal Tracker, Version control with GIT, front end development, setting up test framework, creating API endpoints, Database Integration(using PostgreSQL) and adding authentication with JSON Web Token. I was so intrigued with my ability to build an application from scratch and ever since I have been learning new technologies. Sometimes it's overwhelming, but it's always satisfying to see your ideals or work come to life through codes. It's magical. I am looking forward to adding more value to myself by acquiring a Master’s degree in Information Technology

I plan to work for maximum of 5 years in this position while setting a stage to running my own IT Company where I’d be dealing with creation of new Generation secure and dependable enterprise systems to power most businesses in Nigeria while offering employment opportunities to Nigerians who want to make career in the field. I believe my program will help me achieve this goal.

Congratulations!!!.. I wish everyone going for their visa interview success!! Mikkyphaton: Thursday 17th of Dec. 6:30 am appointment. After waiting on the queue for about three hours to get interviewed. It looked like it was only the woman at window 1 that was interviewing non-immigrants student visas. Finally my visa was approved. I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this forum in one way or the other, from slimmy05, walspring, bigfrancis, deetus and others with their construction criticism and explicit dissemination of vital information that is very useful in acquiring the visa. I would drop my transcript this evening, kind of stressed up now. But one major thing I know is that prayer works, cos that's about the major thing I did and I was highly favoured by God. Thanks to everyone once again and to those who are still going for their interview later this month, just as others prayed for me, I also pray for you that your heart desires would be granted and you all would come here to give your own testimony. In Jesus name. Amen. |
