My cousin was recently looking for a roommate to share an apartment and it was based on someone transcript posted 2 weeks ago that i linked both of them up . They might not end up sharing a flat but u never know the network that is built from here ....When the new student gets to the school , at least he has my cousin to link up with and show him some steps .

Also I know several previous Emory MPH naija students and who ended up matching for residency after MPH . That network base is something Anybody can tap into if they want by Holler Does anyone know such and such in Emory or In any school. ......

The power of using your Networks is key .....A lot of jobs is about networking and you only know whats out there by sharing , go see how the Indian they help each other enter places.

I am done with this topic . My f1 Journey was years ago as undergrad and masters. I only viewed this thread this year for a cousin and he gained a lot and also posted immediately . Where i am today has partly due to networks.

Haa lionlee which kain level be this, we always advice GRE on this thread... Denial is not worth the stress and TOEFL/IELTS is not substitute for the GRE. Take heart bro this is just a temporary setback if i were you there is a GRE exam coming up on 26th i'll register for it the resultswill be out within 8 to 10 days by early July i'm back in the embassy picking up my visa.. You will come out tops bro, keep the fire burning

DareFadi:


I dont know much about aerospace but if it engineering make sure you are part of NSBE (National Society of Black Engineers) from beginning . Find out when they have their annual conference and book your ticket even if it is not popular in your school. Have your Resume ready and prepare well for interviews . Make sure you tap into that network during the conference by selling urself well and pass your Resume to everybody . ... Start with aiming for internship in NSBE conference to get your foot in

**Next one is in Kansas City, MO in April 2017 ..... If you are doing Engineering , book your ticket now , lol .

profojah2:

Huh?.. Just like that?. Without adequate preparation?. Wouldn't it be so very unconcealed infront of the VO that he registered after been denied OR just for embassy sake.. The best is to defer, register for the GRE and he should shoot for spring..

Cheers!

@ ratchy,

Am I missing something?

@ Dr. KimoraW,

Emory University is one of the best in medical science. You shot for the best and you got the best.

Best!

I really appreciate your feedback on my transcript

I can deduce three things wrong in my transcript now
1. Self sponsor gives a red flag
2. Not linking my study plans with my present employment
3. Not able to list out reasonable number of courses I will be doing

I have noted all these.

As for confidence, I was so confident. Looked at her eyes all thru and my voice was loud.

But this people no dey try.
I am an orphan who was opportuned have properties inherited from my parents. I also earn 210600/month (net pay). I have a flat I get rent from and 1 plot of land. Also had deed of agreement of a land I sold 2014 for 3million. I tut I was fit to sponsor myself having 7million in my acct and school fees being 4800 dollars per semester .....Never knew I needed to say all these without being asked - My bad. Guess I will add my brother to be supporting sponsor. He can provide a statement worth 20Million


Linking travel plans to work. I no try at all. I have travelled to the UK b4 and spent just 3weeks - last year May . I tut that would prove that I will come back...I f-up. To add to it, I am married with a kid which in DS-160 (Although there is no space provided in DS-160 to fill if u have a kid except u travelling with the kid)


The courses I will be doing. Kai!
Oyinbo don craze. When I gain admission for undergraduate study for Lasu, did I know any course I will be doing? Na wa oh. Na to just dey mention courses wey I do for 400level for next interview if I no remember. Lol

Please more responses cos I am already preparing for the next interview. Aja 2, gbera....As I dey drive dey come house sef, I almost bash 2 different times. God help us all.
Abeg if I am applying again, will I fill a fresh DS-160

Oga Mekurexx I greet you, bros no fly Maroc if you can help it, I used them once I regretted it... In fact it is perhaps the most racist airline in the business closely shadowed by Egypt Air... One ground staff can just in his omnipotent wisdom declare your Visa fake... Delayed flight and general lack of organization nko... Na just my experience... We go bend bottle when we jam for the states... U be correct guy

DareFadi:


Well ....i would say preferably get a sponsor and also put that u will be part self sponsored. It rarely that u are asked for bank statement and all u mainly asked is who sponsoring u and what does the person do. Although u are also required to put their details on d ds160 form.

It just carries more weight if u have a sponsor plus urself. That is not to say u cannot get f1 visa been self sponsored . U can.... however if it was me i would prefer to list a sponsor in addition.

I cant really explain why sha

At the end of the day either way self or with sponsor it doesn't matter , it boils down to favor sha from God......
