Fatezee: Some VOs are lenient while some are super strict with the answers applicants give. That VO you met with was really on top of her game and ain’t letting go of any criteria in considering you even though your interview sounded well, but 28 credit hours in a duration of 24 months done make sense. As a student on F1, minimum you can take per semester is 9 credit hours. Now let’s do the maths, in 3 semesters you’ll be done with 27 credit hours. The total credit hours you mentioned doesn’t tally with any masters corriculum. You either do a 30 credit hours or 33 credit hours. There is nothing like 28 credit hours for masters so apparently she came to the conclusion that you don’t know what you are saying. Sorry about your denial. Try to refire 1 Like 1 Share |

omoluabiguy: Thanks for you review Not 28 credit hour, 28monthS duration ( according to my i20). I said 30 total credit unit , 24unit course work 6 unit thesis (according to the school website ) |

Fatezee: You can actually finish 30 credit units in 12 months if you do 9,12,9. 28 months doesn’t sound right to a sensitive VO. That was my point. |

omoluabiguy: The best thing is to be silent on the number of months. Just state 30 credit, 12 unit course work, 12 unit elective and 6 unit research as the case may be. In my case, my I20 stated 36 month duration but I can't mention that I want to spend 36 month for a Masters degree so I was silent about it. I just stated the number of credit units I will be doing. I do not know whether it is standard for most school but the minimum is 30 units for thesis Master and 36 units or more for Masters by coursework. Hope this helps. |

EZEIGBO1OFIMO: Yeah, almost all STEM PhDs are fully funded. That's something we all know But not all Masters degrees (even in STEM) are fully funded ... Thats what my emphasis is So it's wrong to generalize that all courses (even STEM) offers opportunities for full funding ... Thats my assertion 1 Like 1 Share |

Lamexx: Yes most applicants don’t understand that the schools usually add up your OPT period to the I-20 which inflates the courseworks duration, but usually; you are done with your masters within a year or 18 months at the maximum before proceeding to OPT. 1 Like |

Chidinho10:As a PhD holder cum researcher, when someone like Twoods mentions Graduate degree, he's automatically referring to a PhD. As a Doctoral student in the sciences, you work for the university (very intensively, and you're not allowed to do anything else), hence the research body must reward you with a small token of the research grant. the same expectations are not granted to MSc students, who may not want to tread the treacherous path of the frustrated academic ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

Please Gurus in the house, I need suggestions on university that offer full funding for Mechanical Engineering based on your experience. Masters preferably as I am scared of PhD longtime commitment.

visa approved on the 27th of dec. 6:30 am. Thanks to the guys behind this great platform. God bless you all. I want to specially thank Daniel Sadiq for the mock interview. He actually approved my visa. Vo: (smiling) good morning Me: (also smiling) good morning Vo: how was the holidays? Me: it was fine. Yours? Vo: pass me your passport and I-20 (I passed them) Vo: what is your highest qualification? Me: I have a bsc. in Social Studies Vo: what school? Me: Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-ife, osun state. Vo: when did you graduate? Me: I graduated sept 2015 Vo: what have you been doing since then? Me: after graduation, I went for the compulsory national youth service Corp program in April 2016, where I was posted to kaduna state. I finish my program April of this year. Then got a job at IDM in August. Vo : where did you serve? Me: I served at Paki premier Academy, where I worked as a teacher. Vo: what class of students did you teach? Me: primary and nursery pupils Vo: you currently work at IDM? Me: yes Vo: how many schools did you apply to? Me: 2, University of Arkansas and prairie view A&M University Vo: why didn't you choose University of Arkansas? Me: I didn't choose them because I was offered admission into the med administration program which restricts me to just the classroom environment. But Prairie View admitted me into the ms.ed administration program. Which doesn't limit me to classroom activities alone. Basically the difference between MED. administration and Ms.ed administration is that Med administration trains you to be a principal or a school superintendent while with ms.ed administration, you get your certification as an academic but also you can work as an administrator with the ministry of education, private sector NGOs. You are involved in curriculum development, policy formulation, school budgeting etc. which is really what i want. Vo: mention some of the courses you'd take Me: I'll be taking computer appreciation, public school law, school budgeting, school management and finance to mention a few. Vo: what documents did you send to the school? Me: I sent my official transcripts, which I evaluated, 3 letters of recommendation from my professor in school and 2 from my employers. Vo: did you take any standardized tests? Me: Pvamu waived it for me as an initial requirement. Though I'll still have to write the test within my first semester. Vo: you'll write the test within your first semester? Me: yes. Vo: you work with International Data Management Services? Me: Yes ma. Vo: have you ever traveled out of the country? Me: No ma. This would be my first. Vo: what are your plans after study? Me: After my program in the us, I intend to come back to Nigeria and take up a job at the federal ministry of education. Where I can work hand in hand with the federal government to help with finding solutions to the problems in the educational sector. Nigeria's educational sector is currently in a bad shape, our curriculum and policies are no longer effective and efficient. That's why going to America for my masters will give me the competitive edge to make moves that will transform the educational sector in Nigeria by applying what i would have learnt in the Us. Vo: who is your sponsor? Me: my Uncle Mr. Oluwatoni Odusanya Vo: what does he do? Me: he is the ceo of abr offshore limited, an oil and gas company . Vo: your visa has been approved. Pick up your visa bla bla bla...I no hear anything again. Me: I smiled and said thanks Vo: (smiled back) remember to bring this(i-20) with you at the point of entry. please prepare very well. read enough transcripts and most importantly pray. It can only be God. Good luck to all visa hopefuls. Me: Gracias 10 Likes |

Please, I need some pieces of advice from the house. I attended F1 interview in November and December 2017 respectively to study Master degree in Organizational Leadership with concentration on Organizational Management in Lewis University, IL, US but was denied. My highest degree was terminal Master in Managerial Psychology since 2012. During the second interview, the VO after so many questions and my confident answers, he denied my visa and said his colleague said previously that I was not qualified.....(I didn't understand why he said that anyway) Though, I have contacted the Lewis University to defer my admission to May 2018. I have strong family ties in Nigeria (married with 3 children), have my personal residence, personal business, self sponsorship for the study with SOA to back it up. Kindly advise me on what mighty be missing as I prepare to re-fire towards May 2018. Thanks. |
