Hello. Guys I really need you candid advice on this I have a bsc certificate in geophysics.and now I got an admission into a school in Ohio for bsc geology it was my uncle in Texas who applied for me d problem now is how can I convince d vo since geology and geophysics are very related ?? Kindly advice me on what to say my interview is in 3 weeks time

"Kindly advice me on what to say" bros you go wait tire then grow iron bear bear because nobody here will do your research for you. If you are a genuine student i will advice you to carry out your research then come back here and seek opinion abt your research. I believe the ogas found this your post annoying that's why you've not gotten any response.

Me:no, I've not had a tangible reason to do so.
V. O: why USA?
Me: I believe that academic experience in the USA is something unquestionable and a Degree from a reputable university there is widely valued by all countries. Most schools offer excellent research opportunities and maintain optimum theoritical and practical efficiency.

V. 0:Why cuw?
Me:cuw is a premier university in north America. I was impressed by the curriculum, faculty staff, the state of the art computing resources made available by the school and also, the input expertise employed by the school to ensure students actually gain relevant and respected knowledge for future applications. I actually exchanged mails with Dr. Locklair where he intimated me about the increasing application of IT in research and innovations. This gave me joy.

V. O: tell me about your study plan?
Me: I'll be obtaining a masters in IT, after completing a total of 39 credit hours within a period of 24 months.

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

Nutshell44:




This is not a defense. I am just letting that person know that they pick calls than email.so to get across to them faster you gotta call.
This has nothing to do with their masters program

I took your advise and started calling. Would you believe it all went to voice mail. Both admission officer o, office clerk o, Samue Yego o. I am tired already. No single response to my email. Its a bad behaviour

Ooreofeoluwa:

If this true. Pls look elsewhere and hope that they get back to you. TRUMP school na him be that school, it's very sad bad things are being said about them and yet they do not change. They should simply stop accepting international applications. That's so disgusting

CC: sheke01, FaoyeGeorge, 100kobo, Timotee, Bigfrancis21, lagosismyhome,

The response in this transcript is better than the first one, but you still have to work on "why st Cloud?"
1. Any school offering a program must have been certified by the American body in charge of that program, so that point is not huge enough to me
2. How does MBA courses help your future plans? I think you can give specific points on this
3. Point 3 is on point
4. Which of the courses in the program really align with your career goals. Try to mention them
5. ("Upon graduation, I have would be accorded the American Society of Engineering Management's certified associate engineering manager (CAEM) title on graduation"..really?? Don't go and shoot yourself with this point and make the VO
think you don't plan on returning to Nigeria o. You can get better point than this

Good to know you wrote GRE. Overall, your responses are on point. Fine tune your "Why St Cloud" and go get your visa.
Wish you Goodluck

Interview 01/11

First, No standardized test. You are going for an IT Msc degree with no standardized test. The VOs have seen lots of candidates and know what they are looking out for in students o. Don't go saying standardized test was not a requirement for Msc in IT

Your "why cwu" is too shallow and really lack specifics. You can do better on this

"What will this course do for you?" "A lot. IT will improve me technically, analytically and advance my computational prowess, making me more valuable in increasing demand of professionals with not just vocational but also technological skills in Nigeria. I'll be better equipped to work with high profile and multinational companies like eunisell, indorama etc while making plans to setup a technologically driven enterprise in the long run.
Brother, you need to tell the VO how this course will do all this for you. You need to talk with specifics. All this "improve you technically, analytically and advance your computational prowess, making you more valuable in increasing demand of professionals with not just vocational but also technological skills" would not cut it o. Talk with specific examples

Then you applied to only one school. People have gotten visa with only one school admission, but please don't go telling the VO that you were lucky to get a conditional admission. It would destroy your whole profile.

Finally, why are you switching from polymer engineering to IT. You should be prepared for that "hell" of a question

Lemme stop here as your interview is tomorrow to avoid killing your confidence but you really can do better than this

All this is just from my point of view o, I no be VO
and i don't have a say on the outcome of your interview.

I wish you Goodluck and get your visa

MistaJoey:

I just said I wrote and i scored 90, but the download link to the Score report(PDF) so i can print as proof is not up yet.

Your "why cwu" is too shallow and really lack specifics. You can do better on this

"What will this course do for you?" "A lot. IT will improve me technically, analytically and advance my computational prowess, making me more valuable in increasing demand of professionals with not just vocational but also technological skills in Nigeria. I'll be better equipped to work with high profile and multinational companies like eunisell, indorama etc while making plans to setup a technologically driven enterprise in the long run.
Brother, you need to tell the VO how this course will do all this for you. You need to talk with specifics. All this "improve you technically, analytically and advance your computational prowess, making you more valuable in increasing demand of professionals with not just vocational but also technological skills" would not cut it o. Talk with specific examples

Then you applied to only one school. People have gotten visa with only one school admission, but please don't go telling the VO that you were lucky to get a conditional admission. It would destroy your whole profile.

Finally, why are you switching from polymer engineering to IT. You should be prepared for that "hell" of a question

Lemme stop here as your interview is tomorrow to avoid killing your confidence but you really can do better than this

All this is just from my point of view o, I no be VO
and i don't have a say on the outcome of your interview.

I wish you Goodluck and get your visa

Wow... Thanks a lot... I appreciate.

Damidolly:
Good morning,

My school is asking for declaration of finance form to be filled. I want to ask if my sponsor must attach his statement of account or just for him to fill his part.

Thank you.

You should be asking your school this question. Don't be shy to ask them. If you are, then your visa interview becomes a tall task.

Today 31st October I mark my register here. So help me God!

Welcome, Post Graduate Studies?

thank you! VISIT . Looks like i commented on the wrong thread ,i have found the right one.

I would like to share my transcripts here because the Nairaland platform was of tremendous help in preparing for my Visa interview. But before I go into all that, I would like to give a brief bio.

I am a Medical Dr and I applied for a masters degree to study Public Health at the University of Massachusetts. My IELTS score was 8/9 and my GRE score was 300. Applied to two other schools, university of Arizona and Georgia Southern University. I got accepted to all of them but only Massachusetts give me an Assistantship (which came with full tuition waiver, health benefits and biweekly stipends). I got my visa in my second attempt. My first one was in August 11, 2018 (at 11am) and it goes as follows;

VO; Goodmorning
Me; Goodmorning - can’t remember if I smiled or not
VO: so you are going to the University of Massachusetts?
Me; yes
VO: what would you be studying?
Me; Public Health with a focus in Health Policy and Management
VO: Ok. how long is your program?
Me: 2 years
VO; Ooh you are a Medical Doctor
Me; yes
VO: are you currently working?
Me: yes
VO; what do plan to with this degree?
Me; I intend to come back to Nigeria so that I could work in key organizations both government and Non governmental organizations involved in health policy formulations like the the ministry for health, primary health care development board. I also intend to.. the VO cuts in and says “so your father would be sponsoring you”
Me; NO, it’s actually my uncle. And besides I got a graduate assistantship that came with a full tuition waiver, health benefits and biweekly stipends. The entire value of my award is in excess of $44k.

VO: I know but your I-20 says you have a deficit of $12,300 (my total cost of attendance was $56000)

Me; yes, my uncle would take care of the rest.

VO: do you have his statements?

Me: yes
VO: lemme have them
Me: passed it to him. I came with a total of N6.1m from two financial institutions; Zenith Bank( had 1.6m) and Arm Investment Company ( had 4.5m)

VO; looks at it for a while and then say “.. ok.. congratulations.. I would be approving your visa but I would verify these statements and if they are fake you would ban from entering the US for life..”
Me; that’s fine they are 400% authentic.
VO; passes me the white paper and told me where to pick up my passport. He then mentioned that “..inform your school so that they can send you a letter that you would present at the POE should there be delays with verifying your statements”
Me: Ok. Then I walked away

So after the interview, the embassy closed down for over 2weeks. When they reopened, I got a mail from the embassy saying I should submit a letter of authorization for just the ARM Investment Company bank statements. I did that quickly. I sent copies to both the bank and the embassy. I also informed them that I had submitted what they asked. So, after a week got another mail saying that I should resubmit my bank statements along with my passport. The next day they returned my passport so I printed the exact same bank statements I came with during my interview and resubmitted it alongside my passport. After this, I was quite optimistic that there won’t be any issues. 2days later, I checked my status and it had changed from “administrative processing” to “Refused”
I was a bit confused and shocked. because my bank statements were legit and I had done all that they asked. So I waited to pick up my passport to see what their could have been. When I pick my passport, they attached a denial letter to it. It was very generic and it was the same one they normally give anyone they denied. I was really sad. I didn’t want to try again. The whole process had taken over a month and in the end I was still denied. Meanwhile, my school had deferred my admission to spring 2019. But luckily for me, they said I would still have my assistantship should I come over in January. This gave some form of courage to try again. So I did. My second interview was last week Thursday (25th October) at 9am Abuja. This time around, I got a new bank statement from a Conventional Bank that had more money (9.4m). My interview was as follows;

VO; Goodmorning, welcome to the United States embassy
Me; Goodmorning
VO; why are you going to the University Of Massachusetts
Me; I’m going to obtain a masters degree in Public Health
VO; what school did you attend
Me: university of PortHarcourt. I studied medicine and surgery
VO: I can see that you have a GA, does it cover for you full tuition
Me; yes it does, it also comes with health benefits and a biweekly stipend.

NB: After I said this I tried to bring out my bank statements to give to him because I thought he said “can I see your statements” but he quickly cut in and said “ pls put that back, I would not be needing that”

VO: how did you get this Assistantship
Me; I applied, then I was invited to do a Skype interview with the Director and weeks after, I got a mail saying I had been offered the position
VO: when did you get this Assistantship
Me; July, 2018
VO: are you currently practicing
Me: yes
VO; he typed for a while and the said “ congratulations, I would be approving your visa..I hope you enjoy your stay at the University of Massachusetts” and then he gave me two white slips and then was said some other things about where to pick up my passport. But At that point I could no longer hear him.. I was so happy and shocked.. I kept saying in my “ he did ask for my bank statements, he didn’t ask why I chose to study this course, or what this course would do for me, or what are your study plans, or why were you denied the last time” all the questions I prepared for, all the questions I feared he might.. he didn’t ask any of them. He just approved my visa. Just like that !!

My passport was ready for pick the next day but I picked it up yesterday.

It was a very humbling experience for me and in all I give thanks to God almighty. He did it for me. It ended in praise. I am also grateful to everyone here on this platform. You guys are doing a great job. God bless you all. Shalom
