jagaban17: You shot yourself in the foot. You claimed you were on study leave. But it wasn’t obvious that this was the case. Did you provide a genuine letter attesting to that? A letter that expressly states what you are going for, how long you’re expected to be away and a clear indication that your job will be available when you return. It should also state if you are going to be paid or not during your absence. This letter should be on your company letterhead and signed by a management official. Also, if truly this is to enable you move up in your company, why are they not paying for it? It’s strange. The problem is that when you reapply, you can’t deviate from this again. See the question in bold that the VO asked, you didn’t answer it at all or probably did not understand it. 1 Like 2 Shares |

I had my letter with me. The V.O didn't ask for it and I didn't want to be forward (Well, I hear people say here 'don't give out documents when you are not asked' ) guess that's wrong then. Plus I answered the question that my leave was without pay. What's the way forward ? TWoods: |

Adebusayo: I was interviewed by a young guy at window 9, every one before me was denied. And my transcript goes thus: Me:Good morning Vo: Good morning, how are you Me: Fine and you? Vo: What course are you going to the us to study Me: I am going to study and Obtain a Masters of Science degree at the Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville Vo: Why this course Me: I had always wanted to be a consulting analytical Chemist. There is the shortage of Chemist in Nigeria, hence the reason for fake drugs and chemicals everywhere. There is no strict measures for testing these chemicals. I said some other things I can’t remember Vo: What does a consulting analytical chemist do Me: An analytical chemist consults for agencies like Nafdac and SON. For example if you need to get Nafdac number for a Pure water company, the sample is sent to the consulting chemist to test and the result is sent back to them to see if it meets the standard requirements. Vo: What are the elements you test for in water (this question threw me off balance as I wasn’t expecting it) Me: Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. I’ll test if there are heavy metals or other impurities like carbon in the sample. Didn’t even remember to talk about the PH and other stuffs. Vo: Did you apply to any other school? Me: Yes, Michigan Technological University and University of South Florida Vo: Did you write any test Me: Yes I wrote Gre and Toefl Vo: What did you score Me: Gre 294 Toefl 97 Vo: Who is sponsoring you Me: I’ll be sponsoring myself Vo: Looks at me like ![]() Me: I got full funding, just need some token which I can afford Vo: Checks my i20 very well and continues typing. Are you married? Me: Yes Vo: Do you have Kids? Me: Yes I have a boy and a girl. Told him their ages Vo: You mean you have a boy and a girl and confirms their ages Me: Yes with affirmation Vo: Have you travelled out before Me: No I haven’t got any reason to travel out of the country Immediately he dropped my passport in the tray honestly I didn’t hear anything again my heart leaped. He passed the white paper and said somethings ......... I went out and started crying cos it could have just been God. No document was asked. My most dreaded question was not asked. Meanwhile i had my Bsc Chemistry 11 years ago. I have been working in the financial industry. No work experience in chemistry. But I just wanted to go back to school to pursue my dream. I want to encourage someone here today prepare like it all depends on it and pray like it all depends on it too. With God nothing shall be impossible. Do not relent in pursuing your dream. It will manifest at the appointed time. Thanks to all that has contributed on this forum. God bless you all. Dedicated to the Almighty God. 32 Likes 4 Shares |

decide: Your GPA is not competitive enough but It is going to secure you a PhD admission. To enter a top tier school with this GPA, you need to work on other areas of your profile like scoring very high in the TOEFL and GRE (165/170 Q & V). In addition, try and publish in a peer review journal. Try and publish your BSc and MSc thesis in a peer review journal. Those are the other ways to improve your profile and get admitted into top tier schools. 1 Like |

Thanks for your reply. I'm already frustrated as I have been on AP since Dec 22 and my start date is Jan 8. If you dont want your village people to win this war, dont try it.

Mr Twood Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend to my initial inquiry. I have been placed on AP since Dec 22 and my start date is Jan 8. Is there anything I can do on my part to salvage this situation?It's been the longest week of my life. I'm already spent psychologically. The research assistanship came in after my I-20 was issued and my guess is the VO wasn't convinced it was genuine. It's the holidays season and school won't resume until January 2 and I feel until then, the VO won't be able to clear her doubt. What do you advise I do? I'm in a race against time. I really look forward to your insight on this and I would really appreciate your advice on the right step to take to salvage this. It's all I have ever wanted; to learn, become an expert and hone my skill on the best platform available which NCAT university is offering me. |

k199192: Hi. I was searching for topics relating to WAKANOW and I stumbled on this post. Please how did you make payment for your flight? Was it through their bank account or interswitch/quickteller? I paid into their GTB account since yesterday and I haven't gotten my e-ticket since then. I'm just worried my booking doesn't get cancelled and have to re-book at a high rate. Kindly enlighten me how you went about getting you e-ticket same day. Thank you. |
