Hello guys! Am currently filling my DS 160, Please I need your advice. Is it advisable to say No when someone have a sibling in the US?

Newton2024:

I graduated from a Nigerian university with a very good result and I wish to further my education oversea. I do not have complete five credits (as per UTME requirement) for the course I want to study in postgraduate. My question is; is O'level result with minimum of relevant five credit passes in WAEC, NECO or NABTEB a compulsory requirement for processing Msc admission Abroad?

nues012:


A lot of red flags �

First, your sponsor is US, that sends signal to the VO you want to go and reunite with your uncle and not going to school.

Second, your school is close to the city your uncle stays.

PREPARATORY TRANSCRIPT
University of New Haven
Programme: MBA (Concentration: Global Supply Chain Management)
Funding: $3,564
CoA: $28,461
Attempt: Approved by the grace of God
Single & in mid-30’s


So what changed in your application?
I believe I was not able to provide sufficient reasons enough to convince the VO of my study plans and return

Why did you choose this University?
My criteria for school selection was primarily focused on a curriculum offering a Capstone project which I’ll leverage on to gain an international practical experience. I’ve been in communication with Dr Bleep on his research “The impact of Bullwhip effect on manufacturing supply chain when firms share their MRP”. I strongly wish to work under his tutelage as it will help me address irregular swings in forecasts that expands to large variances, which causes inefficiencies in my current job role. This is essential to my career progression as the knowledge gained will be useful for applications at work. Also, I was awarded a dean’s scholarship.

What are your plans after graduation?
My organization has made a commitment to grant me a study leave once my visa is approved. I will be returning immediately to take on a higher role as a senior corporate strategist, leading all of supply and distribution chains of the Group.

Where do you work and what do you do at your place of work?
I am a Contract and Procurement Specialist. I work with XXXXXX which is one of the subsidiaries of XXXX

1. I optimize purchasing synergies between the company’s entities and establish SLA’s with vendors while monitoring contractual activities
2. I develop distribution plan and forecast quarterly distribution expectations
3. I determine the organizations need by participating in the development of specifications, studying sales, inventory levels & cycles and access supply-side market conditions and
4. Finally, I monitor systems, purchases and policies and create value through strategic sourcing and supply chain and oversee major pricing decision.

Have you Travelled before?
Yes, I recently made a trip (I intentionally made a trip outside the country because the previous VO asked twice)

Which schools did you apply to?
I applied to 6 schools

Why did you choose to study in the US?
I took into cognizance the significant contribution the US has made towards advancement in the supply chain industry. This is a system I would love to learn from as I will be fully equipped with the knowledge and practical skills needed in solving challenges associated with the Nigerian supply chain system so as to be able to make ground breaking achievements in the industry.

Why not study in Nigeria?
Without requiring extra months of study leave at work or an extended stay in the US, I have the opportunity to modify my curriculum and take some certification courses in other fields. I won’t have that opportunity here in Nigeria.

Who is your sponsor?
My dad is fully sponsoring me throughout the period of my program. Additionally, I have some saved up funds.

What does he do?
He owns a steel manufacturing company which produces high reinforcement bars used for large construction of concrete structures, roads, bridges and more. He also has a construction company and is invested in real estate properties

How did you find out about this school?
It came highly recommended through an online community and MBA forum called India MBA discussions

What skills you will be learning from this MBA degree?
I’ll be learning management and analytical skills. I will be learning skills like Strategic management, leadership, problem-solving, decision making, and analytical skills to crunch data for solutions.

Why are you going for your studies now?
Nigeria is transforming her business processes from manual to automated processes, and the time is perfect to key into that to develop myself and contribute my quota to national building and development.

How does this fit into your career plans?
I have a wealth of experience in the supply chain industry but my career goal in the senior management position is to focus on supply chain Analytics. This specialization will develop my analytical skills so I can provide advice to Organizations in Nigeria who are involved in the supply and distribution of petroleum products within the downstream sector, while leading with management skills

Tell me about your study plans
My program is for 22months and I will be taking 25unit Core courses in the first year that includes Strategic Management, Managing in a Global Economy, and more. It has been carefully planned for me to understand an organization and it’s business impact in the society. In my second year, I will be focused on electives with 15units and subjects in Supply chain Analytics and Resilience, Business forecasting, Data Visualization and Communication, I’ll learn and apply the right tools for optimization and leverage on big data for decisions. I’ll be concluding with a capstone project which will in-depthly help me learn the mastery of my discipline before graduation, after which, I will be coming to Nigeria using the skills acquired to contribute to the system.

How will this course benefit you?
It will provide me with the skills needed to have a successful career as a supply chain professional as my current portfolio requires me using data to improve processes, efficient supply lines while shortening the supply chain lifecycle. I will be better equipped for my role after this program

What skills you will be learning from this MBA degree?
I’ll be learning management and analytical skills. I will be learning skills like Strategic management, leadership, problem-solving, decision making, and analytical skills to crunch data for solutions.




Now I feel this is exceptionally long and might bore the VO, maybe I'm too uptight about my responses but please I need your help on this

Northeastern:


I am just seeing seeing this, I am happy that you made it and now in the US.

When I saw the post you were talking about, my experience as a financial advisor told me that was never going to be a bad decision for the reason I stated in my response.

I was about two weeks into my program here in the US when I responded to your post in 2018. Welcome to the club and never forget to inspire others at home. Like you already know, you can become anything with your biology degree and that includes going on to medical school or for an accelerated BSN.

I don't doubt your abilities and know you will turn out better than you expected.

Esekells:
Try University of Central missouri

Hello Fam,

I have been at NYSC camp for the past 3days and I have been tired and stressed out. I had to reschedule my TOEFL exam but I need help writing 3 reference letters and a SOP. I will gladly appreciate any help I can get and I’m willing to pay for a good job. Kindly reach out if you can deliver.

Tinyemeka:
Sorry if my question sounds jejune.

Does the embassy grant visas for Postgraduate Certificate programs of 8 months to 1 year duration?

Thanks.

Laworldz:
Good afternoon. Please can anyone suggest good and safe hotels close to US embassy Abuja please. It’s urgent.

ObodoNaija:


If you have not yet gotten one check this out. It is not only close to the embassy, it is also cheap too. 5k per night

TWoods:


You should not write 3 reference letters yourself, get 3 people who can serve as your references and get them to write it for you. I will also advise you write your SOP yourself. There is no place to hide when it comes to a foreign education so you might as well start practicing now.

temibanks:
Hello Gurus,
My immediate sibling is in the US, Phd at Missouri; however I'll studying at Connecticut. Is wise to mention her in my application?
