How Many private Jet did you say this CEO has??

Good morning fellow Nairalanders, I applied for an undergraduate degree in Computer Science but I was offered liberal art and sciences and general studies on my i20, the admission letter stated it boldly that, I have been accepted into this program rather than my first choice major. Upon the completion of my first semester and consultation with my advisor I may be re-evaluated for the computer science program.
I need an advice On what to tell the Consular

I have been following this thread since February 2017: it has been an amazing experience on here. I hope someone have one or two things to learn from this.
Note:
I am not one of the best English speaker but I was able to articulate my point and made them brief since I know my weak point(still working on that).
Dress: brown pant and shirt while I wore a gray lonsdale jacket coz of the rain.
After my non stellar Gre score as a result of stress from work during NYSC I had to settle for the 4schools.
Summon the confidence and make your point brief but ensure it answers the question been ask.

Congrats man wish u d best in ur journey, I was behind u. thank God u r saying d truth I wish others can do that as well.

Everything was just God’s grace and favor. I saw the notorious black lady doing what she does best. There was this other white lady with a squeezed face dishing out blues and administrative processing ( flight tickets that are hot now I’ll now be waiting for two weeks). Anyways I did my interview at window 5, this Ankara wearing guy was the perfect mix of professional and chilled (leaning towards chilled). We greeted for like 10 secs and he didn’t ask me any technical questions. That SAT trick tipped the interview back to my favor and God just oversaw every every �
Without further ado, here it is:

VO: Good morning
Me: hello good morning
VO: how are you?
Me: I’m fine, thank you. How was your night?
VO: it was fine thanks for asking.
VO: where are you going?
Me: I’m going to University of South Florida for my undergraduate studies in chemical engineering
VO: oh for your baccalaureate in chem engr?
Me:yes for my undergraduate studies in chemical engineering (lol I was too nervous to abbreviate anything)
VO: did you apply to other schools?
Me:yes I applied to three others: New Jersey institute of technology, Georgia Southern University and Cleveland State University.
VO: How many did you get admitted to?
Me: Just USF. Their admission decision came early and since it was my top choice I didn’t continue with the rest. *i was so nervous when I said this but it was the truth so I didn’t stutter*
VO: what’s your highest degree
Me: my high school degree
VO: when did you leave? * as if he didn’t already know*
Me: 2014
VO: so what have you been doing since then? *acting all concerned*
Me: I took JAMB twice then I got provisional admission into UI to study chemical engineering but I deferred it to take care of my dad when he was hospitalized and his leg was amputated. It was during this period I prepared for my SAT and I got a very good score. *this last line was very pivotal and it shed light on my strongest attributes*
VO:What were your scores?
Me:I had 1300, 680 in verbal, 620 in math and 6/8 in essay
VO: *nodding his head while typing* who is your sponsor
Me: *feeling the strength of the blek pentha returning* my mom
VO: what does she do?
Me: she is a deputy director in the ministry of defense and also runs a successful clothing business. She currently has 3 stores here in Lagos.
VO: do you have a bank statement
Me: *gives it to him*
VO:checked it for a while then gave it back to me saying the magic words...I wanted to concentrate on the words he said afterwards but I just couldn’t. I was too happy.

This platform was incredibly helpful and I need to thank tolatof for taking time out of work to help, for the mock interviews, the corrections and for giving me that SAT trick

Congrats man.

Face unlock now seem to be the latest trend in the smartphone world as more and more smartphones now come equipped with facial recognition security, offering up a new way for us all to secure and unlock our smartphones. I have friends with latest phones which comes with the face unlock feature on their smartphones but almost all of them are not using it. They’re not even using the fingerprint scanner on the phone either, rather they prefer the good old password/pattern to secure their phones. A lady once told me she doesn’t trust the feature because she doesn’t want to wake up one morning and the phone wont recognize her face. I believe most Nigerians don’t really understand the feature. The facial unlock feature is the most powerful and the most secure form of phone security in the smartphone world right now. Someone looking over your shoulder can actually see your phone pattern or password but if you use your fingerprint scanner or FACE ID, that problem is eradicated completely.



What’s the major difference between the fingerprint scanner and the facial unlock ?

Although both of them provide high level of security, Fingerprint technology is not really a smart feature but face unlock is a smart feature. If you have some dust particles or sweat on the finger, the scanner cannot capture your fingerprint and the phone will not unlock but face unlock use what is called “deep learning”. This feature allows your phone to learn its owner’s face even as the face changes over time. If the owner grows a beard or goatee, the smartphone will still recognize his face, If she applies make-up, the phone will also recognize her face. Face unlock is also faster than the fingerprint scanner, as soon as you pick up the phone, the front facing camera captures your face and it immediately unlocks.

Can the FACE ID technology be fooled ?

Apple says the FACE ID on the iPhone X is 99.997% secure but yes it can be fooled ! Identical twins can fool the FACE ID but it’s very rare to find identical twins that look exactly alike to the extent of fooling the FACE ID on the iPhone X, but tech blog Marshable found a set of identical twins that were able to fool the FACE ID. The case of the OnePlus 6 was even worse because someone with your photograph can equally unlock your phone using your photograph.



Conclusion.

Face unlock remains the best way to secure your device, the process of setting up the feature is very simple and straight forward, it’s better to use it than using the pattern. Infinix Hot 6 Pro and Tecno Spark 2 are some of the budget smartphones with face unlock.

Do you think there are other reasons why most Nigerians don't use the FACE ID on their smartphones ? Tell us in the comment section.

I know you don't want to hear this but save your money, no point wasting money for the 5th time. Sometimes its not how you answer question but your situation play a part in the decision. You are in 300l already and biology is 4years if I remember correctly. Finish up your undergraduate in Nigeria and apply for a masters in the US afterwards.

My last application was delayed and I am going for new one next month and here is is how my last application goes
Vo-morning
Me-: morning
Vo- why general studies
Me-: my intend program is agribusiness, after valuation of high school transcript I was advised to begin my course with a open option of general studies for six credit hours for nine months.
Why knansas state university-: I interact with current student and I was advised DAT base on my proposed course of study which agribusiness ...Kansas state university is one of best with excellent research opportunities which will have me to advance my education then the vo cut.
Vo-: did you write any exam-: it is not a cataria for given admission so I didn't write any N:B it clearly stated in my I20
How many credit hours is your course -: I told her 60credit hours and she said no it is more than ...o boy inside me I know dis is bad because I was with my course catalog d night before my interview I thought I wasn't important and na so her carry blue paper give and na the second one be dis ooo after been refuse 5 times for Canada and now two from us tension is high for the third one which is final one ...please guru in house what do you think I should do dis time differently

I think you need to complain to the school regarding your course, i was in dis shoe sometimes last year i applied 4 mech engr CSU offered general studies, the young guy who interviewed me made me realise US schools don't gv u course u dnt apply 4, ah was trying 2 let him undastand but he stood on his words. My advice for u is to let the school knw about dis and get a major course, dah general studies looks like 1 has no dream. Sorry 4 the delay.
