I am going for Masters in Management and Supply Chain with concentration in Transport and Logistics.

Vo: Ok so why did you pick WSU(Wichita state University) Me: 4 major reasons 1.I was fascinated by the Journal written my prof mehma Rodger who is an Associate at the university on the dynamic flow chain of goods and services along the sub Saharan Africa. 2.The university boasts of a world class teaching facility. 3.I got pointers from My cousin an alumnus who just started lecturing at the Uni of Illorin after completing his PHD at the university. 4. Ranked as one of the best schools in America with a Decent tuition fee perfectly fits within the brackets of my families Budget. Vo:Ok Did you write any standardized exam Me:yes TOEFL *giving him/her a copy of my Result with a score of 100/120 Vo: who is paying for your fees Me: My father he owns Wimco Nig Ltd Deals with whole sale of Sanitary wares (Tiles, Toilet seats,Jacuzzis,Bath tubs) VO: your visa has been approved, I hope you know that you can only travel 30days to the resumption date.

Wow thanks for the swift response. I have nailed the program director and here's the response i got You are correct, our department does not offer assistantships to students admitted on a provisional basis. There may be other assistantship opportunities available in other parts of the university, but that is not something I keep systematic track of. Sometimes students are successful in finding such outside assistantships on their own. I caution students against doing that most of the time because if they don’t make a B+ or better in each of their provisional courses, then they are not fully admitted into our MA program. I have observed some situations where a provisional student finds an outside assistantship but it takes up too much of their time and they don’t make the grades they need in their provisional coursework. I hope this helps answer your question This one na story anyway. How did u go about yours. Did u apply separately after you were given the admission? and pls can i dm you ToluwalekeA: |

fcnaxo: BOLD 1 That is a weak reason why you are going for a master's degree. The world changes - yeah, that is not news! And, "upgrade"? That doesn't sound professional. A better reason would be " I currently work in the Logistics industry and I discovered that I lack strong technical proficiency in [insert one technical industry concept], [insert another technical industry concept] and [insert another technical industry concept] which limits my productivity at work. A master's degree at this point will not only give me a sound knowledge of those technical concepts, but will also give me managerial knowhow to effectively lead teams within the logistics space" BOLD 2 Generally, the four reasons you gave are weak. You are going for a management degree, and there is no correlation between research and management. In fact, I don't know about your curriculum but a solid business degree like this one should not even have you doing research work (research is for PhDs and thesis masters students). So, a VO that knows very much about business degrees will find a problem with that answer. So, look for something that is more aligned to the industry as opposed to research. BOLD 3 Stated in that way, this is a weak statement. You can improve this statement by elaborating more on the faculty. You can say "The faculty at the Department of blah blah at Wichita State University majorly consists of individuals with solid work experience and industry acumen in the logistics space. They have ex-CEOs and ex-Directors on their faculty with an average industry experience of 35 years, which is hardly obtainable in most universities. Learning from these individuals will give me a solid understanding of industry concepts" DON'T GO AND SAY THIS IF IT IS NOT TRUE. THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. GO AND LOOK FOR SPECIFICS IN THEIR FACULTY THAT MADE YOU BELIEVE THEY HAVE A GOOD FACULTY BOLD 4 This is similar to my first point. You are taking advice on business education from a PhD student. Wrong move! Also, you did not provide details on the "insights" you got from your cousin. This point may somehow slip through the cracks if you elaborate on the insights you got from your cousin, but if you are unfortunate to meet a VO that has solid understanding of business education ( a lot of them in Lagos Consultate do), they might want to ask you why you are taking biz school advice from a PhD. Why not a current bschool student or an ex-student? BOLD 5 Don't spoil your show by mentioning ranking. Wichita State University is a 230-301 ranked tier 2 school in the US. Don't spoil your show by mentioning rank. Ranking works if you attend a top 20 school. In fact, the VO won't even ask you "why this school?" if you carry the i20 of a top 20 school. So, don't shoot yourself on the leg. The decent tuition might work but make that your last reason. If you come up with three solid reasons aside from that, leave it. BOLD 6 Is TOEFL a standardized test? I don't know but make sure you confirm it is a standardized test. 14 Likes 1 Share |

bracelum:I really appreciate the time u spent in analyzing this transcript. Truth be told I am fully aware of most of the points you laid out. However, I might not even have enough time to say all of those things, that is why I made short phrases and summaries. To answer your last question. Absolutely TOEFL is regarded as a Standardized Test. Lol I can’t even mention rank however 231 is not so bad out of the tens of thousands of schools in the US. That been said, I would love to message u privately if u don’t mind. Warm Regards |

Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Nobody: 3:57pm On Apr 01, 2019 |
fcnaxo: Thank you! If you really are aware of most of the points I laid out, you wouldn't seek for help here or you wouldn't list those four points as reasons why you want to attend your school. My long post is meant to give you (and others) a clear gist about the whole thing. It is left for you to either use it or ignore it. Also, I don't think those responses are too long. VOs have different ways they look at the length of your responses. Some of them like stories while others like short-pointers. So, it is safest to be in the middle (and those responses are in the middle). I always advise you list your points before explaining them so that the VO gets the message you are trying to pass across.However, as long as you are making sense, a long response is fine. Worse case, the VO will cut you when he/she hears what he/she wants to hear. So, it is better to tell a long story that makes sense than a short one that makes no sense. Nevertheless, those responses I gave you have optimal length. For the ranking, I won't tell you again but if you want to shoot yourself on the leg, go ahead with it. If your school/program is not top 20, don't mention ranking. Being 231 out of 1000+ is not very exceptional in this case. There are dozens of other reasons to give aside from ranking. For the TOEFL, no worries. If you say it is standardized, that is fine. I have heard different views about it (even from VOs) so that was why I told you to confirm. All the best in your endeavors! 2 Likes |

AgreatMan: You responded well and good like most, you did not react. I understand his talk dreams and your view is very convincing. Getting an admit with scholarship should be his focus and he can always do trials once school resumes. Btw, did you watch the regional finals between Michigan State and Duke yesterday? 2 Likes |

Rehabist27:Hi. It will be hard for anyone to answer that question because they don't know who your employer is. The best thing to do is look into your company's history. Has anyone been sponsored by the company before? If yes, then you may be in luck. It is also always good to have a back up plan. It is not unusual for employers to pull their funding. Cheers. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by mjksho(m): 8:46pm On Apr 01, 2019 |
LordSir1: Hi. 1. Yes, you can transfer to another school even after getting your visa with Lamar. But you must make sure you do that before classes start. 2. About rankings between the 3 schools; it does not actually matter. Go to anyone that offers you good funding. 1 Like |
