Good day folks.

I had my B.Tech in Chemistry and I want to apply for an MBA in VIU this fall.

I'm making arrangements of the necessary documents since the school has requested ALL documents be uploaded on my portal.

There is a problem though. I need to submit two recommendation letters alongside my application and from what i gathered, since it wont be sent tl the school by email, the letter better be in a letterhead.

I intend asking my project supervisor to write one on my behalf whilst I Need your help for the other one.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

If your VIU is virginia intl university, I'll advise you don't waste your money

Good day Nairaland,
I was offered admission into MA Economics program at Wichita state university. My appointment has been scheduled for 28th of May for 7. A. M.
Here is my proposed transcript. I want corrections and additions from you guys.

Vo: Good morning
Me: Good morning. How was your night?
Vo: Pass me your i20 and passport
Me: Passes
Vo: Where are you going to in the US?
Me: Wichita State University 1845, Fairmount, Wichita, KS 67260.
Vo: why are you going to Wichita state university?
Me: for my master degree in Economics
Vo: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: 3, namely, Wichita state university, Murray state University and Western Illinois University.
Vo: So why WSU?
Me: Apart from the fact that the state where the school is located is economically conducive and my mentor being an alumni of the school, the school offers excellent education to it students through high quality teaching and a well structured research activities. WSU MA Economics gives room for flexibility because they offer three different tracks which are Financial Economics, Economics analysis and international Economics. All the three tracks seek to provide students with analytical skills useful in decision making and a broader understanding of the overall economic environment. The financial track is my main area of interest because I have found a career in the financial sector. The school curriculum is compatible with my academic background and career interest. The program has good professors and also give a lot of time for business projects that mirror real work environment conditions. This is called Analysis of business condition and forecasting (Econ 803) in the department curriculum. This particular course is rare in other schools curriculum.
Lastly, I contacted Dr Philip Persh prior to applying, I told him about my research plans towards the proposed program and he was impressed by the research plans. We will be working on a thesis with the topic Nexus between Inflation and unemployment from (1990 - 2017)using Nigeria and United state as a case study .
Vo: What are your core courses?
Me: Math. Method in Economics Econ 701. Applied Econometrics Econ 731. Macro & Micro Analysis Econ 801 & 802. Analysis of Business forecasting Econ 803. Applied Econometrics II Econ 831.

Vo: What will the course do for you?
Me: I already work in the financial sector, masters will make me more competitive for promotion to higher position and accord me the opportunity to edge closer to the highest cadre in the financial sector by working directly with the Apex Bank of Nigeria where I can be able to advice Nigerian Government and non governmental parastatal on the best Economic practices and suitable policy. This is my long term dream.
Vo: who is sponsoring you?
Me: my dad and my aunty
Vo: what does your dad and your aunty do?
Me: my dad is a mechanical engineer who works with Federal Government and also own a private workshop. My aunt is chief account at ABC company.

This is the little work I have done with guide from Nairaland. I need you guys to give comments. Thank you all as I await your contributions

I need everybody's opinion on this... @lagosismyhome @TheAmerican @Bigfrancise

I'm proud of your preparation so far. You strike me as a guy who has taken time to really think about things to say and you made sense. Your interview is getting near so I believe you must be even better than when you posted this.

Additional advice: the "why this school?" part seems long. There's a big chance the VO would cut you short or lose interest midway, so... break it into sentences and start with the best 2 sentences that present the strongest case for you. Try to avoid vague answers too, deal with specifics.

Another thing, the part about what the Masters degree would do for you. Again, good job. Try to speak in money terms. Something like "The median salary for BSc. Econs grads in Lagos/Abuja is 200k per month. While that for Master's degree holders is 450k... a degree from a U.S. University will also look good on my CV which will mean more interviews for me...", don't you think? Also, more emphasis on particular skills you hope to transfer from your time in Kansas to the country.

I feel like you're a good student and with more preparation, you'll do well. I wish you all the best.

How do I go about filling the health report form for graduate students.

Are there hospitals that are specialists in handling this or I should walk into any hospital?

I am based in Lagos.

Thank you.

Go to any government health Centre in Lagos with a smiling face and cash in your wallet. Additional tip: let it be a Friday afternoon or evening (if you don't know why, you're not a Lagosian lol).

Tell the doctor what you're there for, they will do more than what you want sef lol.

its about my transcript ma'am I also posted it here. but for you to reply me. am having six years gap and its eating me up. that's my biggest fear now ma'am.

this what my transcript looks like. and everything stated here is the truth ma'am. but I want you to help criticize and help me fix it well.
1. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE CSU?

ANSWER: aside from the fact that CSU's curriculum matches with my desired course, CSU is ranked among the best national university in the US by USnews and world report. Its engineering program is ranked among the top 200 in the us. Also the major reason why I choose CSU is because the tuition and board fee is grantee for fall 2018. Which means there won't be any subsequent charge on those. With this I was able to have a good and proper estimation of my study in CSU.

2.WHAT WILL THIS COURSE DO FOR YOU?

Answer:As a passionate computer lover, this course will give me more knowledge on how to practise computer. It will equip me with the knowledge on how to solve and fix computer problem. Also considering the fact that I got this degree from US it will add more credit to my profile and make me fit and more relevant to compete in the Nigerian market.

WHAT IS YOUR HIGHEST LEVEL OF QUALIFICATION?

Answer: Olevel certificate

WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE AND WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING SINCE AFTER GRADUATION?

Answer: after my graduation in 2012, I considered going for my undergraduate studies here in Nigeria then masters in the US. but I was dissatisfied by the way the course was handled in the school, no good research centers in the school. My family and I had to fast track my study in the us. Because if am unable to grab anything in my undergraduate level there won't be anything to master on.

3.DID YOU CHOOSE ANY OTHER SCHOOL? COMPARE THE SCHOOLS.

ANSWER: I consider so many schools but I settled for two. Which is CSU and uhv..the most common things among the schools is that the both are public schools and are tier 2 universities in the us. CSU is a national public university while uhv is a regional west public university. Also the both offer bsc in computer science.

4. WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING AFTER THIS COURSE??

Answer: Considering the fact that the degree gotten from the us is highly respected internationally. This degree will make me more relevant in the Nigerian work sector. So I will be returning home to join the work force in my country. I will be fit to work in different sectors such as Industries, government etc.

Thanks a bunch, you're a darling.

On going there on Friday, my guess is because of the coming weekend so they need cash to flex.

Thanks again.

Thank you very much... I'm grateful. I will work on the contributions.

Hi everyone,

My sister got that response from her school and that's the only school she applied into. Please what can she do, the school is not replying to her mail.

Neither has she been able to reach them on phone. Does this sound familiar with anyone. Please advice.

there is an issue somewhere,
Asking her to transfer her SEVIS record?? She prolly made a mistake when applying or thats a Scammer website, You only transfer SEVIS record when youve paid your Sevis fee and your currently enrolled or admitted into a particukar University in the USA.

My 2 cents...
Let the babas in the house comment.

savage reply

hmmmm, for your mind.

[5/21, 9:40 PM] Niklaus: Hello house..
My Interview is here already and i need you guys to criticise this from all angle.. Thanks a million..
Going for Undergrad.

How many schools did you apply to??
3, University of Iowa, University of Wyoming and Pensacola Christain college.

Why University of Iowa??
*Well i picked university of Iowa because of the schools Academic excellence and reputation, its ranked top 200 universities in the world according to THE, and then 31st best public university in america , making it a top notch university.
*Secondly, I picked the university because of thrre regular involvements with robots. Ever since 2014, they have this yearly Robot program, where the student of computer science come together and then program robots, with the use of C++, Java, python and some softwares. And this is something am looking forward to been part of, as i have a
passion of specializing in Programming, especially Programming Robots, because i believe theyre the future.
* Also the class size, about 60% of the classes in UIOWA, are fewer than 20 students, and considering the course am doing computer Science where 100% accuracy and precision is needed(at least from my little experience in HTML putting a comma instead of a dot wld affect the end result). And considering the amount my parents will be paying, i believe its a really standard one.

*How did you hear about this school??
I attended a british standard secondary school, so during our last year people from the UK,Canada and US and Some people from Nigeria came to talk to us on schooling abroad, thats where i got to know about alot of Universities in the US and this one in particular and then with little help from usnews.com, the, and google i was able to pick this one at last.

Any standardized test??
Yes SAT(Score 1180).

Who is sponsoring
Ma parents (MUM nd DAD)

When did u graduate??
2014

What have you been doing since then?
Graduated at a very yound age, so my mum enrolled me for a diploma course and i just finished about 2 months ago...



Please Criticise this, what should i improve on, or what should i not say from the above.

Godbless thanks..

Good, so can explain why the names are different then?

sunshineluv5:
it's for 6months(from 1st November 2017 till date) and he's not into bureau de change he's into marketing activation. So what are you saying in essense through your criticism ? I thought personal statement of account has to do with good inflow and outflow and closing balance not numbers of pages?

Point of correction my statement didn’t criticize you at all, I only asked a question and I don’t know if asking such is wrong. Make you no vex.

Moreover I said you don’t need 621 pages, I expect you to think in way like I am suggested you should reduce 621 page rather than thinking am critizing you with the post.

Jcnmode:
OK thanks

Let’s give all the thanks to God
