Gent009: It doesnt have to do with the SOA. He was refused cos he didnt show enough strong ties in Nigeria and he was not banned. |

fairheart: An MBA is not the best route to entrepreneurship. Consider one of the numerous startup incubators such as Y Combinator and Thiel Foundation. Management and entrepreneurship are two different things. 1 Like |

Sunnypolicy02: Wonderful summary! You just hit the nail on the head. Key insights from your post; 1. Don't put yourself in the situation of luck when you are still in the planning stage. At this stage, you have the opportunity of maximizing your return. 2. If you are taking a loan, take the loan to the best school you can get to. If you are putting yourself in debt, try as much as you can to get into the best school possible. 3. If you can't get into a top ranked MBA, then consider fully funded opportunities instead of taking loans to a lowly-ranked school. This is exactly what I was trying to explain to the Babson College guy. 4. Attending a top school doesn't automatically make you successful in life. But you have significant opportunities over others and if you use these opportunities well, you will be successful. 5. Attending a lowly ranked school doesn't make you a loser. Some successful people did not even attend college. 6. Once you are still at the planning stage (GRE, SOP), try to shoot for the stars. 5 Likes |

Gent009: Its always painful when this happens.... .. but most times only someone who works inside the embassy will know the real reason. This letter is their generic letter so doesn't really provide insight . There is no ban as bans are clearly stated I have always wondered what i would do if this was me.. i think as long as i am 100 percent sure of the account. I would book an appointment and go again. If nothing at all but to get some feedback into what might have been the problem 3 Likes |

This is not a ban. A good way to assess his application to determine possible cause of later refusal would be to see what he filled on his DSFORM, which he may share a copy with me or anyone he can confide in on this thread. Nobody can say exactly what could have gone wrong. I have only seen a case like this after AP on a student visa, and a B1/B2 visa application of a close brother last two years. Other possible reason could be: 1. If his sponsor dump large sum of money in the account (to boost balance), especially amount that has not been deposited in the account in the last 5 months of the account transaction inflow (this automatically raise alarm that the sponsor does not really have the funds, but package for visa purpose). 2. If there is a fake stamp or visa on the passport 3. God knows ![]() If none of these is the case, he can reapply. He can still get his visa. Gent009: 1 Like |

Bracelum is absolutely right. You don't go and get yourself into close to 150k USD debt because of a BS business school. What is your purpose or goal of getting an MBA? You might as well go to Lagos Business School or even UNILAG, if you are not sure of the reasons for going for an MBA. Top 20 schools in US, top 5 in UK, top 10 in the whole of Europe, top 2 in Canada, maybe one or two in Australia should be your target if you want to get into top Investment Banks and consulting firms. You need to to be wise in your decisions and dealings. BCG has a mentorship/scholarship program for year 1 MBA students in North America, please find below list of schools they are focusing on. Am sure it's the same for McKinsey and Bain & Co. In Europe, these guys target grads from LBS and INSEAD. Hard to see someone from non target schools get into these firms. This is applicable to Investment Banking too. 1 Share

LagosismyHome: Assuming BS in your comment means business school, a lot of people go beyond $150K in debt. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 14 by Nobody: 8:49pm On Apr 24, 2019 |
nitrogen: McKinsey has a similar program and it is limited to top 20 b schools McKinsey does not conduct on-campus MBA recruitment for schools outside the top 20. The cut off for Bain and BCG is around the top 25 mark. If you study outside those schools, you have to rely solely on online applications. So, if you want to join any of those top three consulting firms at MBA level, attending a top 20 MBA increases your chances by 90%. |

fairheart: That the downside of these AP .... what someone checks in 2 mins during face2face interview is different from what someone chop bellefull and sit down to analyse. Maybe now they actually take the time to check inflow and outflow for those on AP and make conclusion on affordability based on many factors known only to them ...
