Good day people. Been a silent followr of this thread and it's been great. I have something to ask and I'd appreciate your honest answers/opinions.
I finished sec sch ten years now and already have a bachelors here. Now I've got another admission for another bachelors in the US and the interview scheduled for next week.
What are the chances of getting an approval? Can I update/edit my ds160 info on the website? Thanks |

[quote author=Ajibade105 post=69721154]You just asked a question which I feel should be answered by yourself here. Why do you want to study computer science? You should know the reason why you want to study CS. The bold is just cracking me up because you don't know why you want to study a course. O ga ooo.

@Jaked, I don't need to be told you're one of the non-genuine students who want an education in the US. I don't open my buccal cavity when not necessary. The nomenclature you used to qualify me is not my first name neither is it my last name/ middle name. I just told you what is right and you feel the right thing to say is... Don't sha abuse the VO during your second visa interview, that's very important...

Fikky1: Hello All,
I really appreciate the insight on this forum. I will be going for my second interview on 13th August in Lagos. During my first interview, I was just too jittery and I stuttered a lot. The VO asked me what if my sponsor (uncle) chooses not to sponsor me what will I do. I stuttered and said my mom has some savings but the VO asked if I was with my mom's statement (I wasn't). However, I have prepared a proposed transcript for my second appearance and I would appreciate your scrutiny. I am very much open to constructive criticisms.
Why MPA (Masters in Public Administration)
I was always interested in finance as a child. But when I interacted with career mentors during my teenage years in secondary school, I developed a higher interest in governance, hence my choice of undergraduate study. Political science. But then because I had always loved finance, I enrolled for my professional certification ACCA and decided that I would do a higher degree that would tie the two together for me. An MPA degree achieves this for me.
Why ETSU I was particularly interested in schools that offered public administration with a high emphasis on finance. During my search for such schools and their required courses, the MPA degree at ETSU stood out because of the concentration in public financial management. There is also an option for internship or consultancy where I will work at a municipality and get practical experince on goverenance and policy making
What will this degree do for you? With this MPA degree, I will be able to evaluate public policies and initiate solutions for the future of Nigeria because I will be equipped with real-life steps in budgeting and risk analysis of public expenditure among others. This, in turn, will help me better contribute to the public policy process of the country.
Why USA I chose the US for this degree because I want to be armed with concrete solutions of Nigeria’s future and not just contest and win elections as a politician. It makes sense to me to get knowledge and experience from a system that actually works, the American system.
How many schools did you apply to? Two. ETSU and Ohio University
Why did you choose ETSU over Ohio University? ETSU has a separate concentration for public financial management. I chose this over the finance integrated courses at Ohio University. I also received a full tuition waiver from ETSU.
What have you been doing since you graduated I did my NYSC at a pensions company and I worked as an intern with an investment team that managed over 200 billion naira in pension assets. I understood how with the right regulations in place, it is possible for the Nigerian government to create wealth for future retirees. The more reason for my choice of study. Currently, I work with the finance team as an internal control officer at an IT firm where I ensure adherence to laid down policies and processes. I also conduct audits and recommend changes to policies where necessary
Who is paying for your study? I have a full tuition scholarship and my uncle will be paying for my living expenses
What does he do? He owns a telecommunications company and partners with MTN, Glo and 9 mobile etc. He also has a chain of laundromats.
Why is he sponsoring you? He has been responsible for my education since secondary school. I funded my ACCA certification myself as an undergraduate and when he saw how far I had come and how much further I was willing to go with the public sector, he told me I had all of his support. More importantly, he is looking to establishing a new division at his company that will automate tax collection and management on behalf of the government. I will be an ideal fit for staffing the new division with my MPA and ACCA certifications. Having a team with the right personnel will improve our chances of securing such partnerships with the government.
What if he decides to stop sponsoring you? I sincerely doubt that this would ever happen because he has been responsible for my education for many years now. We have both come a long way in my academic pursuit and he is one of the few people that actually cheer me on to bag more degrees. He was highly impressed with my scholarship and I know my living expenses is not difficult for him to handle.
What will you do upon graduation? I will return to take up a role at my uncle’s new public-private partnership division. When I gather more industry knowledge, I will finally ease myself into the public service in the long run.
What are the graduation requirements for your program? I need 36 credit hours to graduate. I have to complete 18 credits in core MPA courses, 12 credits in my concentration, 3 credits from an internship or consultancy and 3 credits from a management report
What courses will you be taking? Public budget and finance Introduction to public administration Quantitative policy analysis for public managers Law and ethics in public service Public sector financial management Risk management Non-profit development Public organization theory Public personnel management One guided elective An internship or consultancy with a municipality
Please let me know what questions I may have to prepare for as well. PS: I wrote GRE and Toefl THANK YOU ALL
Hi all I’m a graduate of computer engineering from the University of Lagos. I’ll like to write GRE and Toefl to get full scholarship into a university in the USA.. pls what do I need to know for preparations for the exam and also post exam knowledge and anyother thing that will help me both for the exam and visa Thanks a lot |

Guys, How does one qualify for scholarship or tuition waiver?
Do I send a mail to my schools or just expect that it will miraculously appear on my i20?
However, its Masters/ Graduate studies I am concerned about. |
