bbdd:
We're speaking too much English.
Scholarakassi NEVER tell the VO you applied to one school. For whatever reason. That's straight ticket to 214b.

You're good to go bro

Am not in Nigeria. I only need a us line for my fam to reach me on. They will be doing the calling not me.

Olabimpesparkle:
Hello everyone,please i need anyone to suggest schools that dont require a GMAT for their MBA admissions. And i would like to know if my refusal to take the GMAT will affect my visa interview negatively.

djmakson:


Do you have work experience? Most schools require that you write GMAT or you have work experience. In my case, I have the latter which was stated as a requirement. Although I wrote GRE for embassy sake.

ttmacoy:
Hope you are aware that schools with MBA programs which do not respond GMAT are not exactly good schools/programs and in many cases the MBA is not worth the paper it is written on?

Worse is some of these programs charge very high prices compared to what is offered.

If you are serious about earning an MBA you should be ready to sit GMAT.
Thank u,I guess I'll have to write the GMAT .pls can u give advice or tips on other materials to assist me in preparing for the GMAT.i have been using Kaplan gmat and it's not explicit enough (especially the quant section)

Pls house I need your candid opinion. Am 27 yrs old with a degree, I got undergraduate admission to study business economic in Shippensburg university which will be sponsored by the organisation where I work as marketing management officer. I didn't have GRE but IELTS. What are my chances of getting a visa?

tradenet:
Hello house ,
Please I need your advice I have a masters admission and I have about 30mill or more in my account but the account is in my name can I say my parent is sponsoring me and still present the account in my name please everyone I need advice. I was told it best when you say someone is paying your tuttion. Also I needhow to prove strong home ties. Thanks guys.

kennyrony:

So, do u bear d same name and surname wit ur Daddy. If u can defend dat... how far abt ur AP any update?

tradenet:


It has been cleared with no issue and now I want to do every by the book no more agents just advice from you guys am glad I found the forum late is better than never I only share the same sunmae with my dad how names are diffrent

kennyrony:

So how do u defend it when the VO ask who is sponsoring u and ur respond was ur Dad, he/she requested for ur SOA and saw ur name written on it.

My advice is that u transfer d money to ur Dad account and if that cant be done then u tell the VO u are sponsoring urself. But make sure ur working length, place of work and working experience is very very strong. Like ur av been working for yearsssss... Cos 4 u to av dat kind of money in ur account. U really need 2 defend it

onuawuchi:

I have already booked interview date with MTSU, but now I'm thinking of switching to Michigan Tech (got admitted to both), because of the relatively better ranking and to raise my chance for visa. However, the program I will be attending is ranked higher at MTSU than MTU. Don't know if the VO will be aware of the details of program ranking or their focus is purely on how the schools rank?


Another issue that keeps giving me concern is my study gap. I completed my undergraduate studies in 2005. I hope this doesn't lead me on a wild goose chase.

Response will be very much appreciated

profojah:



BTW, Did you fundings from any of the schools?,....

onuawuchi:


No brother. It was limited for my department. They were only able to fund two persons at the masters level

tradenet:



Am thinking of saying my dad is sponsoring me but I manage the finiance of the company as my dad is old and cant really do the running around ( which is true ) that me and my dad are co signatory on the account.

profojah:
I've been trying to send a pm,..kindly pm me,.

ifecttt:
@ojap @slimmy @profojah and all

Pls i have been rescheduled for an interview next week in Lagos after the delay in abuja d oda tym.
I stated aw d interview went buh dont think I got satisfactory enof answers after my bashing @warriboy.

Please I want u guys to help critically analyse the interview and offer constructive criticism so i can bring my A Game next week by God's grace.
Heres d previous interview:

I went to the embassy for interview for a student visa. All my documents were intact except for my bank statement which had a letter incorrectly misspelt (stg like Adewale instead of Adewole) who was supposed to be my sponsor/uncle.
My experience at the Abuja embassy:
Oyinbo: so ure going to Saint Joseph university in Philadelphia usa?
Me: yeah
Oyinbo: how did you find out abt d schl
Me: was looking for schools that offered the course online when u stumbled on the school alongside other schools of which this seemed the most suitable.
Oyinbo: whos sponsoring you
Me: my uncle
Oyinbo: can I see his bank statement?
Me: yes please(hands it over)
Oyinbo: (looks intently then asks) your uncle...is he your blood relative?
Me: yes sir
Oyinbo: types ...looks at statement ...hands it over and says hes sorry he can't grant me the visa.

Now my qstn. Did I answer any of the questions wrongly or was it just the bank statement error? and I need advice on better comportment and composure cos I intend applying again with a corrected bank statement cos shool resumes august.

Btw...happy birthday to meah today

hottyarewa:
Kk,tnk u. I was asked for the numba of siblingsam havn and I said dat we are jst two,mi and my elder 6ta's nw workn. I was also askd for my sponsor and I said my mum cos it was her name that was on my financial shit. That is all I can remeber.

kennyrony:

If u Dad is sponsoring u, d SOA as to been in his name. Der is no time to start explaining to d VO. Der decisions are make within few seconds most especially if u meet a VO that doesn't have patients. You need to be careful, don't give any benefit of doubt.

As for me am not satisfy wit u reason. Maybe oda guru in d house can contribute and give u an advice


Check @ifecttt interview. Guess he was denied cos of alittle mistake in d SOA (Adewale instead of Adewole) so be wise...

chidiakwari:
Ifecttt, what's your program and which school?

hottyarewa:
@deetus,she works here in Nigeria.
