krcboy:My supposedly transcript............ criticise and correct please School- Tennessee Technological University Course- Exceptional Learning, concentration in Applied behavioural Analysis Graduate Assistantship position with 100% tuition waiver Other expenses- 4k dollars which I have as a self sponsor V.O: why are you travelling to US? Me: To pursue a fully funded PhD in Exceptional Learning and major in Applied behavioural analysis. It is a 5 years full time degree program that includes 79 semester credit hour which integrates research, theory and practical application. VO: why Tennessee Technological University Me: During my research in Universities that offers behavioural courses in Education, I came across TTU, it offers Exceptional Learning PhD, Applied behavioural Analysis which is in relation with what I studied in my master's level (Managerial Psychology) Also, I got to know that Dr Akenson and Dr Krystal had a research publication that aligned with my future research topic which is - Develpmental disabilities, intervention and treatment of individuals with special needs such as Autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, Dyslexia and learning difficulties in general. TTU is a member of Association for Behavioural Analysis International Council for Exceptional children VO: why this course? Me: This course will equip me with necessary core knowledge through research on management and treatment of individuals with special needs whose special traits hinders them from achieving their goals and potentials VO: what do you do presently/ where do you work? Me: I've been working for over 7 year in MD School as a special needs educator. I access student's skills and educational needs, I develop and modifies lesson plans based on school's approved curriculum and model from special needs students, provides assistance to children with dysfunctional families, interview parents gather and document information on family background..... VO: What other school did you apply to? Me: Bowling Green State University, East Tennessee State University, University of Tennessee Knoxville. Was given admission in all university to study MSc in Early childhood Education VO: What is this course about? Me: This course is mainly about management and treatment of individuals with special traits like learning deficiency, speech coordination deficiency, restlessness, hypersensitivity etc. These individuals have problems with social communication and interaction It focuses on characteristics strengths and educational needs of individuals and groups whose learning potentials and opportunities for success are frequently unrealistic. Their social, economic and physical characteristics serves as a barrier to development and learning VO: what do you intend to do with it in your home country? Me: I intend to be a special needs educator in my home country as I observed our special needs schools lack core management and behavioural treatment of these individuals, they are usually neglected and stigmatised. Society writes them off and doesn't give them a chance to achieve their potentials. I believe if they have professional behavioural management and treatment this will bring out the best in them and gradually will ne accepted In the society cos they will exhibit it. VO: are u married? Me: yes with two kids VO: what does your husband do? Me: my husband is into waste management business. He owns his company, has 25 staff members working for his organisation. He's also a member of Lagos State Waste management Authority. His annual income is around 13 million.

Me: yes, GRE and TOEFL ( the school waived these the year I applied sef so I didn't use it for admission) VO: Do you have any relative in US? me: Yes. my sister is a legal resident ( This is also on my D 160 form already). My husband and children are here in lagos Please help to criticize and correct my supposedly questions. Thanks |

1. V.O: who would look after your kids while you're in the US? 2. V.O: Why is your family not accompanying you? 3. V.O: Your sister in the U.S means close family ties convince me otherwise ? Having well thought answers on these would be great but since you have full funding and going for a PhD the interview might last less than a minute and you would not be asked any of these.

Good evening everyone, What are the recommended ways to address being refused F1 again if “uncertainty of return to Nigeria” was the reason for initial F1 denial? I’m going for LLM and I’m completed my NYSC 1 year ago. |

[quote author=luvethsam post=122920956] please I need your honest opinion and corrections on this 🙏[/qtuote] Revisit your DS-160 information and also cross check if your passport profile marches that of the ds-160 and the one on the visa application page e.g. like a missing middle name. Check your ds160 answers all over to see if there is a place you are missing it |

chibertha: Hello Chibertha, can you please advice me? I applied to 5 schools for a PhD and 4 of them rejected my application. One offered me an unfunded Msc admission ( SUNY Buffalo). I’m considering using Mpower to sponsor it. COA is $46k |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by Arrowhead12: 6:44pm On May 11, 2023 |
Hello, I guess you could try to show home ties if you have a job waiting for you back home (with prospective promotion tied to your completion of the postgraduate program). If your employer's also sponsoring your studies in exchange for your remaining at the organisation for a fixed number of years immediately after your studies, that should work. honeyade: |

Zihno:Yes, I seriously do need funding. I got admission already for an Msc program but no funding... Trying to apply to other schools |
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 17 by chibertha(f): 7:07pm On May 11, 2023 |
I know how it feels trust me. Take the master's and get in. While in the States continue your PhD applications and transfer or finish the masters before you start. your COA is very reasonable. check your mail I sent you a PM Zihno: 1 Like |

Debskufre:You followed in silence and didnt give a stellar performance. Most times, basic Naija responses would get you a denial slip. Your responses were basic like an undergraduate applicant. Apply again, prepare very very well. Good luck |
