Good morning, good people of Nigeria. Please, can someone direct me to a post where I can read about getting a PhD admission and/or funding? I just completed my MSc and I have no clue on getting over there. I'm not trying to take you backwards, I just want to be informed. Thanks in advance. I hope I'll be able to share my testimony here also in the nearest future. Thanks again. |

US student F1 Visa finally approved just this morning after two times denials. Glory to God Almighty, thanks to my mentor, my coach and teacher, Gaviria who I met on this platform. The bros help me sha. At a point I was wondering if we still have Nigerians like Gaviria. Bros thanks a lot. May the good Lord bless you richly. I'm very very grateful. So here's my transcript. Interview was scheduled for 7:45am. The same guy who did my biometrics was the same person who conducted the interview, I was coincidentally directed to him the second time by the CGI official. VO: good morning Me: good morning VO: Pass your documents pls I did VO: where are you going? Me: I'm going to Boston, Massachusetts, USA. I'm going there for my masters degree at Hult International Business School. (VO jst happy wen I answer like this, he expressed this with a smile. I was surprised) VO: how did you hear about this school? Me: I carried out an extensive research using academic websites. I used usnews.com, gradschools.com and then google.com. (At this point I paused then I remembered I haven't completed that statement, then I continued and added this: I further streamlined my search to schools whose courses aligns with my area of interest. VO: did you take any test? Me: Yes, I did. I took the wonderlic test with the school (the guy nodded like he knew what the wonderlic test was about) The VO denied the guy in front of me cos he said 'no' to this question(cos after giving the guy d blue slip d guy asked the VO the reason for his denial and the VO explained that to him and even added that he has a better chance of getting his visa approved if he took any of those tests) and at this point I was already fretting cos I didn't take any standardized test other than the wonderlic test conducted for me by the school. "Na cos of that guy for my front wey d VO bounce make me get sense to answer 'yes' to that question with one kind confidence ehn....only for me to tell him 'wonderlic test' and he accepted it'' - God in action. VO: what's this test about? Me: (for my mind I was like... And u nodded like u knew about the test??) it's an internal based test conducted by the school to test my verbal skills, communication and technical skills.... (Trust me I wasn't prepared for this question) The VO nodded again with excitement. I was jst thinking, Na so this guy like my face. Well, his smiles gave me confidence sha. VO: so what are your plans after graduation? Me: I will be coming back to Nigeria to set up my own business. VO: what kinda business? Me: a recycling company. VO: why this company? Me: this is an area many Nigerians haven't really gone into. We have very few recycling companies in Nigeria (and I added a few spoil that even me myself knew I was explaining spoil) VO looks at my i20, raised his head and said you have a scholarship from the school. Me: yes, I do. (With a big smile) VO: how did you get it? Me: I wrote a scholarship essay. VO: what's the topic of the essay? Me: (I actually forgot the topic) future leadership essay it is (I think it's the topic anyway) VO: what did you write about? Me: I talked about my future goals, how I'd like to rule a company on my own and I also talked about my academic achievement over the years. VO: where did you study for your first degree? Me: University of Benin, EDO state. VO: What did you study? Me: Mechanical Engineering. VO: you graduated in 2016,have you done your youth service? (I least expected this question but Gaviria had earlier on advised me on how to fill out the employment status on my ds160, stating that I'm still a student and currently undergoing my youth service and will be rounding up next month, August....which I did) Me: I'm currently serving and will be rounding up next month, August. My program starts in September. VO was jst smiling at me, carefully kept my passport by his side where I noticed a heap of other passports and he told me the good news. Your visa has been approved, followed by some other talks, brought out that white paper, handed it over to me alongside my i20. I smiled back, collected the papers and left d window.. 39 Likes 2 Shares |

MY US student F1 Visa approved today, just this morning. All i can say is Alhamdulillahi. I'm very very grateful to those who helped. So here's my transcript. Interview was scheduled for 6:30am. Was directed to the old lady after she dished out blue paper for the two people before me. i just kept my cool. VO: good morning Me: good morning VO: Pass your documents pls I did VO: How old are you Me: 26 VO: Do you have a Bsc Me: Yes i have a Bsc in Mech Eng VO: when did you graduate Me: 2014 VO: So what have you been doing doing since then. Me: after my NYSC i have been working at XYZ company. VO: so how many schools did you apply to? Me: three ma VO: and how many admits Me: 3 admits (Vo looks suprised) VO: so why did you choose this particular school (Mississippi state Uni)? Me: i lost concentration for a bit she was trying to help me say something about the Curriculum i said no Ma and smiled. then answered that the faculty the Mech dept of the school had extended industrial experience compared to other schools. she smiled ![]() VO: who's sponsoring you? Me: My Dad VO: what does he do? Me: He owns a Haulage company. VO: Do you have any relatives in the us. Me: No i don't VO: You would be needing this Passes my I-20 and white paper I feel the interview process depends on Grace, confidence, and also your effort put in the entire admission process. The guy before me scored 288 in his GRE and i think she(VO) wasn't okay with that score but didn't get what course he was going for. I can't say how much this thread helped me. To all those who have contributed, i say a big Thank You. 21 Likes 2 Shares |

Obayomimi:Superior return. God would definitely see you through out there in the US. Also, you may properly get a job even before you graduate. The attitude never to give up is the ultimate. In life, what keeps the momentum going is motivation, hard work and luck. Great interview and job well done. I will keep saying this. "The end only justifies the means." People might abandon you when things are tough for you, but they do not realize that "hard time" never lasts. 7 Likes 1 Share |

If you're going to take a connecting flight from JFK to your residence, is it advisable that you book that connecting flight right here in Nigeria before you go, or should you take the dollar cash with you and book the flight physically when you land in JFK? |
