She cuts me abruptly

VO: Why this degree?
iON: I pursuing this degree so as to equip myself with the skills, knowledge and technical know-how in order to use them and tap into the opportunities created by my governments reforms in the aviation sector.

VO then looks into my eyes, packs my documents one side and asked...

VO: What do you mean? Where are you gonna work with this degree here? Tell me.

Mehn, epilepsy come catch me for my leg oo. I had to position my legs like I wannna take a free kick like Cristiano Ronaldo in order not to allow the epileptic currents pass on to my hands and face.. [color=#000099][/color]looool!!!

iON: I can work in MRO's i.e Maintenance,Repair and Overhaul facilities.
VO: Why dont you get this degree here in Nigeria?
iON: Madam, this degree isn’t obtainable here. What is obtainable is the technical aspect and NOT [/b]the [b]engineering aspects.

I forgot my lines for that particular question. I had to improvise, confidently.

iON: I wrote the GRE and TOEFL madam
VO: Pass it to me let me see your scores.

I passed her my GRE and TOEFL results. She vets them for about a minute.

VO: Who is sponsoring you?
iON: My father is sponsoring me.
VO: Who is your father?
iON: My father is the CEO of one of the most renowned ******** companies in Nigeria
VO: And what is the name of this company?
iON: ******************
VO: Do you have his Account statement?
iON: Yes ma'm.

VO: your visa has been approved. bla bla bla bla................

As soon as i heard the golden words, I come dey blow my cheeks like say i dey celebrate goal like Drogba. lool. I hardly listened to what she was saying mehn, although I had an idea. I was so excited. On how she talk finish, pass me back my other docs and the collection letter, I come turn back. People come dey look me. I bone like 50 Cent , begin step out like Rick Ross.
After I don go far small, I come do sign of the cross, dedicate am to the heavens like Messi dey do when he score goal. I enter my motor, start am, reverse, stop... come dey look the embassy building. The look on my face was that of, " I came, I saw, I conquered.".. . I come put gear for Drive, laugh like 50 Cent, screech off......... That’s it.

TIPS: Confidence is important. Also, maintain eye contact. Keep your answers as concise as possible, with all the necessary points, and EMPAHSIZE on your points while explaining something. Listen carefully to hear the VO's questions. Too much "pardon" or "what did you say" or "come again" will signal to them that you don’t know what to answer and you’re thinking. (Someone got denied because of this).
Above all, pray to God and have faith. I wish every one who is yet to be interviewed success.
Cheers.

I will try that tonight, though I resolved pay the thirty bucks for the one year practice test access. I will do as you suggested, but if it does not work, I will do as planned instead. Will keep you posted. Thanks.

Good morning folks , as anyone register and use his or her paypal online should share how it works . I register mind few days ago try to link it with my GTB debt master card online but it not work , anyone advise

I am back with my questions again, tanx for alwys bin there for me. I actually deferred my admission from fall to dis spring semester and i am expecting my new Form I-20 and i plan to chose late november for my interview since my sch resumes Jan9. My only concern is dat i have gotten d bank statement of my broda dat i intend to use and i find out he has just #7m in it and sch fees for d 1st year is like #4.5m, pls wat other document can i add to dis to convince d VO dat he is capable of sponsoring me. Likewise, i realise dat d bank statement balance flunctuate alot, dia was eveb a time he had like just 400k, 500k, 700k and co inside it, though he started wit 5m as opening balance in march. Pls, advice me, because my only concern as always bin d statement palaver. Also, hope i can still use d statement in november since i have printed it out now already. Tanx and God bless

And you addressed 7million naira as 'just'. You made it sound as a pittance.
Anyway, the money is okay as long as it covers your school's financial requirement for one year. But you said your tuition is 4.5m. I want to believe you meant all the financial requirements for a year including books, feeding, room/boards, miscellaneous.
The other documents you can go with to substantiate his bank statement is his affidavit of support and his tax clearance certificate.
As for the roller coaster of funds reflecting in his bank statement, bother less about that. It's even good, because that denotes he's not just depositing money there.
All the BEST

Hello house, please I need advise, i already booked my IELTS for November. Is there any school that I can apply now for undergraduate course or diploma course that can waive standardized tests and also a school that I can upload my WAEC and other documents electronically without sending by courier. Please help with info, thanks

Its too late because spring 2015 begins mostly 1st week of January and i dont think your school will be able to issue a new I-20 that stated that you have done proficiency for English only if you apply to school that does not require that when processing admission...

Maybe you are referring to Spring 2016... Is that right?

dontrezzo:

Spring 2016 not late! Spring 2015 way too late... Most schools admission closes this November..

Sending document along with reference number makes it easy for them to locate your documents on timely manner.

So you will have to be patient with them and pray you don't have to resend. This happens to a friend who sent ref number like a month after sending document.

From JKK I just finish my GRE. The thing hard o I got 290, 147V 143q ihave sent it to my school of choice, ihave paid for my application, any moral boast from the gurus pls am waiting
