Temisan2015:Why St. Cloud Tip: I'll prefer you stick to 3 reasons viz #1, #3, #4,. #2?? Well, you harped so much on this point. Talk a little about his depth and then more on the opportunity of working directly with him. #5 is not important. Study Plan Tip: Include course structure, duration and courses (all-in-one). Don't wait to be asked a subset of this question again. Undergraduate cum Graduate course relationship Tip: Your story line here didn't really appeal to my taste buds. However, you have a great idea there. Fine tune it a little more. Over all, I'm impressed with your proposed script. Do the little adjustments, Go and succeed. 3 Likes |

Temisan2015: I will comment at the end of each response Q: Why was your visa not approved the last time you were here A: I guess I was unable to convince the V.O about my application, but I believe my coming here now, to an extent show how serious I am with my application. Forget about the how serious you are with your application part. Use the being timid at the first interview strategy. That you were not able to convince the VO during your last interview because you were timid but you have worked on yourself and are better prepared now Q: What change in your application A: I have been able to gather more experience and be better prepared than I was the last time I came here. Use the timid part again here Q: What do you want to go and do in the USA A: I want to go to the USA, to study M.S in Engineering Management at the St. Cloud State University Minnesota Q: How many schools do you apply to and how many admit A: 3 schools, 2 admit Q: Name them A: MTSU, (Middle Tennessee State University), SIUE, (South Illinois University Edwardsville) , SDMT (South Dakota Mines and Technology) Q: Why St. Cloud?

Try to talk about specific laboratory equipments you will be exposed to at St Cloud university, talk about the unique knowledge you will be gaining from the program at St Cloud. Please try to use specific examples. U can go through my interview transcript on this question if you want an idea on how to answer this question Q: What’s your study plan? A: I would be doing 32 units of Management courses over the course of the duration of the program Also incorporate the courses you will be taking both main courses and electives. Try to break your 32 units into units for main courses and units for elective. Q: Duration of the Course A: 36 months This should be joined with your study plan.

Good morning everyone... I was denied an F-1 visa on July 17th and i have already gotten a new 1-20 because i was deffered to next semester. My interview is next week and i need to be more prepared. I am pursuing Pre-Medicine. How can i show i have strong ties with my country, my dad has an hospital and i am currently in a nursing school but that is not what i want to pursue, i decided to study in U.S because it is more developed and has a high research opportunities for the degree i will be pursuing. If i am asked by the VO if i will be furthering more to medical school, what should be my response since i am to study pre-med first. I need an urgent reply, please. |

Predstan: I already got my i20 for University of New Haven, Spring 2019. We should work together. I was about chastising you for the question *How did you know about the school?*when I got to know that you got admitted to University of New Haven too. 1. You didn't mention the school you are going to. 2. Your response to "How did you hear about the school?" started with a weak line. What if you rephrase, I heard about it while reading one of Prof Don Morel's research Paper on Photovoltaic Solar energy system. I contacted the Prof to show my interest in his work and he advised that I should officially apply to the university. 3. I don't think you will be asked how many schools you considered, it could only be "How many schools did you apply to?" Then outrightly mention the names of the schools, ensure you mention fully, unlike you did here, using abbreviations. 4. Did you really mean "How are the schools related?" or you wanted to say "What do they have in common?" If the answer is the common relationship between the schools, the mention of having potential supervisors in all the schools does not sound well, to me though, ain't a VO. You may think of a program or research common to all. 5. Why did you choose the school over others? If your second point is real, it's welcome, but that first point needs to be rephrased and brief, as no VO will wait for you to say all what you have there without cutting in as usual. Be brief with the first point, then mention number 2. 6. USA might be the best country to study Engineering, but that might not sound convincing to a VO, if your school is not a top ranking school. What if you start with "Universities in the US are the only universities that look holistically into my transcript rather than the title of my degree as I had to evaluate my HND with the world education services before I was considered for an admission. But wait, evaluating your result has nothing to do with why you choose a school over others. Please, don't mention the fact that you were rejected from schools in other countries. 7. What will this degree do for you? It could be disastrous to say you will be applying to jobs in the Ministry of Power where you can present your ideas. There is a better way of presenting the same statement but more convincing. Then, find a better way of involving your dad's company at the second point, you can do better, please. I wish you success.. 8 Likes 2 Shares |
