Hello house...

Can anyone comment on this: a 25yrs old going for undergraduate studies...

I'll appreciate ur responses.

akin3102:
Darklight my man..I go with innovativeme's suggestion...work on your confidence and be calm when answering those questions as if you are hearing them for the first..Is late though you shd have lied abt your place of work since you are not submitting your personal SOA..you could have convinced him a little..if you have little savings in your account for the next interview...take it along and let the VO knows your dad is a major sponsor and that you will provide stipend since you have been working before now.

EdetMavo:
pls I wish to say something, I stand to be corrected.....

It's been said that people with virgin passport are usually denied... well I doubt it..

it's been said that those going to Colleges are usually denied... well I doubt it... if you are going for Graduate studies... it's often a good one...

it's been said that most times people in their first time are usually denied... well I doubt...

All these applies to myself...

Just wanna say one thing... IT'S ONLY GOD WHOM WE SHOULD LOOK UP TO AT ALL TIMES

Jchi9876:


Hey,
Young man your red flags were NOT what pulled you through.

But the [/b]CONSISTENCY[b] in your story line and the [/b]CONFIDENCE[b] that went with it.

. . . when you get here dont just throw those visa inteview "qualities" away, maximize them and you sure will do better than some distracted lot.

Won't they ask for something relating to his place of work? Like I'd card or statement of account or something?

durobraham:



you work in customer care and your dad's business is in real estate. Your masters in Chem Eng is totally unrelated to both . That's the red flag I saw.

imperiouxx:
With a simple link, where can one get an affordable round trip flight from U.S. to Nigeria or vice versa.

Thanks.

I graduated with 3.92 CGPA from Chemical Engineering at the NNAMDI AZIKIWE UNIVERSITY, AWKA. Have you forgotten the country that we are in?

durobraham:



I know its the country. Was just pointing out what i thought the VO was possibly thinking.

the greatest don dicapino

people will always give you advice based on the limitations of them exposure.... na them giv u money register for TOEFL ? GRE ? apply do sleepless night ask endless questions and now at this point you having a rethink..... i know of many success stories if you don't knw of... petroleum engineering might only seem a narrow end when done at B.sc level but witha base in mechanical engineering with your knowledge of machines, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics..the sky can only be ur footstool.

petroleum industry is not as narrow as you might take it to be...also remember that gas is the future...it drives lots of sectors...fracking technology is also there and other computer modifications and realisations to help in deep water wells, and for enhanced oil recovery. if you
allow me to go on and on and on...


Bro i don hear you.

i took my time to research and maybe if you don't know....gas is the future.....it also drives plants turbines and for energy generation. Nigerias gas reserves has not even been touched..we still dey flare gas... imo anambra ondo has large gas reserves....where is the expertise to make it commercial ?

This is just a summary of numerous potentials embedded in the world of petroleum...you can peruse spe.org and download some of them resources to have a firsthand knowledge of the field you about to venture into.. also not forgetting its the highest paying engineering.

As for the price of oil...its normal....it comes and goes not minding lots of folitics and vavanipulations of various communities.

Take time to critically peruse on any online resource about the world of petroleum ..... am sure those people advising you are not practicing engineers.

please be guided.

Where on this thread did you read about that?

Mr. You're just lucky, there is nothing exceptional in your case as another VO might land you a 214b, but VO's no be God. You failed to even prove to us you're a First Class material with your scanty transcript and Theology.

DARKLIGHT:


I thought in that line of direction. Before Nigeria knows it, she will lose all her vibrant and resourceful young men and women to foreigner.

guttentag:
can someone please list out some schools in europe that does not require english language test, thank you

Bplati:
