Please below is my proposed transcript. I'm sorry it's about it long cos I've trying different possible questions. I'm open to review. Thanks. Why US: The USA is a country that is well recognized for its academic excellence and enhanced learning experience, also they have one of the best educational system in the world that offers students flexible educational opportunities across over 4000 institutions. The US remains the source of most of the world’s ground-breaking developments in technology, business, arts, and beyond. What av u bn doin after school: I worked as an Informatin Officer in a Government parastata, Edo State House of Assembly, Benin City during my service year. I was retained to a staff even after Service year ended. I attend all parliamentary sittings, write news and all other duties as assigned. How many sch :University of Georgia, Atlanta (Franklin College of Art & Science) The City University of NewYork and 3 schools; University of Georgia, Atlanta (Franklin College of Art & Science) The City University of NewYork and East Tennessee State University. VO* How did you hear about the School? Me: when I was using the search engines, I stumbled to www.studyusa.com, I sign up and request to be given Newsletter. After series of Newsletter, I got a form to fill the criteria for the schools I want, which I did, amongst the schools I applied to was ABC University.Also an alumni of the school who works in my place of work also told me about the school Tell me about your school me: this school is a public institution located in Johnson City. That was founded in 1911, with campuses in Johnson City as the main campus and Kingsport Campus.,Listed by The Princeton Review as one of America’s Best Value Colleges ,student-faculty ratio17:1. 11 colleges and 53 Dept. Why did u choose ETSU: Etsu gives students the privilege to take courses from their foundational background, which means I'll be taking more courses from English and Communication. I have been speaking with the director of the department, we've built a healthy relationship and she has been of great assistance. Also, their Daylong writing workshop will help improve my writing and analytical thinking skills and give me the exposure that will be of advantage in my chosen career of taking an academic position in a university here in Nigeria, Resumption Date: 21st of August. Tell me bou ur course: Liberal studies is by nature an interdisciplinary program, generally pulling together course work from various disciplined rangng from social sciences,behavioural sciences and humanities. It gives students the privilege to think critically and contextually about their discipline and various issues. It is a 31- Unit Coursework. I would be taking my core courses in Liberal Studies and my Electives from English Language, Regional and Community Studies, Communication Studies and Sociology. Seminar and Thesis would as well sum up in the coursework. What is your study plan: I’ll be studying Liberal Studies at East Tennessee University. It requires me to take: 10 credits hours for Core courses 18 credits hours for electives and 3 credits hours for my thesis all which are expected to be completed within 24months. After which I’d return to Nigeria to get an academic position in one of the top universities in Nigeria especially my Almer Mata, EKSU Wah would ur course do for u: Me- It will earn me a well rounded education as it is designed to educate on a variety of disciplines, rather than training me on a specific job. Having had a bachelor's degree in English, it will prepare me for a career in journalism, editing, technical writing and academics as intend taking up an academic position in my Alma mater after graduation. Also, as an aspiring writer, liberal studies wiLil improve my writing,communication,critical thinking and interpersonal skills as I intend venturing into blogging where I'll be concentrating on the female gender and their challenges in the Nigerian society.

VO@@ How did you know about Liberal Studies? Me- During my penultimate year (Level 300) as an undergraduate, A Professor of Liberal Studies named Prof. (Mrs.) Johnson came to our School for Sabbatical Study Leave. She narrated to us the benefits of studying Liberal Sciences. Her vast experiences, response to issues and way of life made me develop interest in Liberal Studies and she always advice us to follow her trend. She is my role model……… Who z sponsoring you: I have been offered a Graduate Assistantship which covers my tuition and most fees and provides a stipend per semester of $3700, while my Uncle Mr Raji Lookman will be covering the rest. How did you get the Scholarship : The scholarship board was impressed by my profile which included my undergraduate cgpa, GRE, Skype video interview, Statement of purpose and other essays TELL ME ABOUT YOUR ASSISTANTSIP ME- I get to tutor students a fundamental course during teaching hours, grade scripts and proctor tests which will prepare me for a career in academics.

Me- I have 153 in Verbal, 157 in Quantitative and 3.0 in Analytical Writing. Do you Intend to work in the States? Do you intend to work in US Me- I have been given Graduate Assistant Job, this would make me work only in the department for 20hours per week. Aside that, I have no plans of working.

Nahum777: That was my conclusion also, well it's not their fault Ooooooo... We contribute to making their economy great. Here goes the mail I received today: Adjusted, New Fees for International Students, Exchange Visitors and SEVP‑certified Schools The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to adjust fees charged by SEVP to international students, exchange visitors and SEVP-certified schools. SEVP is funded entirely by fees charged to international students and SEVP-certified schools. Although the program’s fees have not changed since 2008, operating costs have increased because of inflation, expanded program operations and Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) enhancements. If the program continues to operate at current fee levels, SEVP anticipates it will experience an average annual shortfall of $68.9 million beginning in 2019. The proposed fees help eliminate this risk and allow SEVP to continue to achieve its priorities—enhancing national security and preventing immigration fraud. To read the complete fee rule, which is available for public comment until Sept. 17, 2018, visit the Federal Register. Read the Rule Fee Adjustments DHS proposes an increase in the: SEVP school certification petition fee for initial certification from $1,700 to $3,000. I-901 SEVIS Fee for F and M international students from $200 to $350. I-901 SEVIS Fee for most J exchange visitors from $180 to $220. DHS will maintain the $35 I-901 SEVIS Fee for J exchange visitors in the au pair, camp counselor, and summer work or travel program participant categories. New Fees DHS proposes introducing a: $1,250 fee for SEVP-certified schools filing a petition for recertification. $675 fee when schools file the Form I-290B, “Notice of Appeal or Motion.” DHS will maintain the $655 fee for an initial school site visit but proposes also applying this fee when an SEVP-certified school changes its physical location or adds a new physical location to its Form I-17, “Petition for Approval of School for Attendance by Nonimmigrant Student.” Program Priorities and Fee Analysis The proposed fee adjustments included in this rule would provide additional funding for three SEVP-identified key program priorities: SEVIS modernization efforts, increased SEVP adjudication personnel and additional investigatory support. SEVP is required to review its fee structure every two years. By tracing the cost of program activities, SEVP forecasted fee payments to determine an appropriate amount for each fee proposed in the rule. For more information about the fees, read the full proposed fee rule on the Federal Register. |
