Please guys, I need your inputs regarding my proposed transcript.

Me- Good Morning
VO- Morning, pass me your passport and i20.
VO- Where are you going?
Me- I am going to the University of Toledo for my Masters in Civil Engineering with concentration in Environmental Engineering.
VO- Why US and not Nigeria?
Me- As a future lecturer, achievements are measured mostly by the level of research one has undertaken. There are no active researches being carried out on employing bioinformatics to understand the role of micro- organisms on environmental engineering systems and human health by professors in Nigerian universities hence why I want to go to the US and undertake this research.
VO- How did you know about this school?
Me- I carried out research on usnews.com and gradcafe, streamlined the search with my research interest in environmental sustainability and UT was among the schools.
VO- How many schools did you apply to?
Me- University of South Florida, Toledo and New Haven.
VO- How many gave you admit?
Me- All gave me admit.
VO- Why this school over others?
Me- I chose the University of Toledo because it is the only university undertaking research in the use of bioinformatics to understand the role of microbiota on environmental systems. My decision was also aided by the 50% scholarship I received from the school.
VO- Why this course?
Me- I carried out a research on Gaps in Solid Waste Management: Generation, Collection and Remediation using Akure Metropolis as a case study and discovered that the waste management and remediation systems are poor. Hence, there is need for environmental engineers to develop more efficient management and remediation methods.
VO- What will this course do for you?
Me- The MSc degree in Civil Engineering will give me the required qualification to take up a lecturing job in my alma mata as I finished with a first class grade in my department.
VO- Tell me your study plan
Me- I will take 21 credit hours of coursework and 9 credit hours of thesis. I will take courses like Air Quality Modeling, Environmental Engineering Chemistry etc.
VO- Did you write any test?
Me- Yes, I wrote GRE and had 310.
VO- I can see you have some form of scholarship. How did you get this and who will cover the rest of the tuition and fees?
Me- The scholarship was given on merit based on my GPA and GRE score. My dad will cover the rest of the fees.
VO- What does he do?
Me- He is a businessman and the owner of **** and **** ventures, companies that deal with the sale of pharmaceutical products.

bracelum:


1. How sure are you that they will ask that question?

2. Scrap that and give a better answer. You can do co-op or CPT for every US school. Give a more specific reason why you chose your school.

3. This answer works for PhD. Give an industry-related response or tell them it prepares you for a PhD

tactmayor:


Please guys....still awaiting your suggestions

Brown2Green:


Saying your masters degree will get you a teaching job will create an impression you don't have a plan after your degree.
Only Phd does that

Flaame:
if so,then there's an improvement, cos it used to be 90:10 chance

Time2win:


And where did you get this statistics of 90:10?

Kendrix69:

Same place you got the 50:50

Kendrix69:
My gurus, if a fellowship offer has a minimum cgpa required......do I compare it with my WES evaluated or my normal cgpa...to know if I meet the requirement

Another question... When sending unofficial transcripts as an HND student.....do I send both my ND and HND or only HND?

Predstan:


Compare with WES official GPA

Yes you have to send for both degrees(Transcript and Certificate)

Kendrix69:

Hey man , thanks....
Modified @predstan
Please note that I am talking about when applying to the school ,not during WES evaluation...

Predstan:



You have to send everything to them. Without the HNd, you don’t qualify for Masters and without the ND, the HnD transcript is useless. You have to send both transcript to school. Some schools like University of Illinois requires that you send both evaluated transcript and the Original transcript.

Me- I carried out a research on Gaps in Solid Waste Management: Generation, Collection and Remediation using Akure Metropolis as a case study and discovered that the waste management and remediation systems are poor PERHAPS, REARRANGE THIS, I READ IT 5 TIMES BUT STILL CAN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND IT.
