zynnnie: Hi,
I got admission to study human resource management for masters in Troy university Alabama.how good/bad is d school. I applied based on friends recommendation

Troy University, AL
I must confess, its a cool school. Its a public university located in a city called Troy in the state of AL. Its ranked among the top 5 universities in AL, close-ranking with the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Just like an average public institution in the US, I once applied there though, but didn't get what I wanted.
So don't be scared about it being a red flag.

Best of luck!

Google search schools that offer your chosen course. Check their requirements. Then short list a number of schools that are closer to your area of study & availability of financial aids/scholarships/grants or any other form of waivers, Check school's rankings (it must not be an ivy league school) also consider school's location, cost of living, weather conditions. DO NOT apply to a community college.

Mail the schools and meet all application deadlines, take the standardized tests. TOEFL/SAT for undergrad and GMAT/GRE for graduate studies. When you are accepted into the school, you'll be requested to submit some financial documents, proof that student has financial support with or without assistance from the school. When you meet all requirements, an I-20 form(Admission letter) will be mailed to you.

Pay a $200 SEVIS fee at any ECOBank in Cotonou or Seme border or If you have anyone abroad, the person can pay through Western Union for you. NB: You'll need the receipt for your interview so, be mindful.
Visit the US embassy website to fill an online application DS-160 form

Visit any GTBank to pay $160 F-1 visa application fee. You'll be issued an MRV receipt. With all these things done, visit the US embassy website and schedule a visa interview appointment. And most especially while doing all these, read through this thread

Rolling admission is a policy used by many colleges to admit freshmen to undergraduate programs. Many law schools in the United States also have rolling admissions policies.[1] Under rolling admission, candidates are invited to submit their applications to the university anytime within a large window. The window is usually over six months long, and some schools do not have a previously specified end date (the window simply closes when all spots are filled). The university will then review the application and notify the applicant of their decision within a few weeks from submission.

It's one of your friends: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_admission


The school is manageable like most private schools. Though they have few courses at grad level and the cost will be on a higher side.

Hope you know what you're about investing on.

Are you seeking grad or undergrad there?


Undergrad in sports and event management.

bigfrancis021:

Your admission letter of last year and your new I-20 are good to go. However, going with a SAT/TOEFL waiver letter covering your not writing any standardized test will NOT suffice at the embassy. As you did not write any, you'll have to come up with a very cogent reason for not writing any test. The usual my-school-waived-it-for-me alibi will fail to work for you at the interview. Instead say that, 'my SS3 subjects in my high-school transcripts and my SSCE were evaluated and because of my excellent performance in them since SS3 subjects are the core subjects, my department waived the SAT for me'.

Finally, remember, articulate and post your two previous interview experiences for the house to review.

Thanks for the response,As at now i already did the TOEFL Exam but my score is somehow low,but i am hoping on GOD on making another MOVE to the embassy for another interview Maybe something Good will come out this time around,But i will just say exactly what you have just Said now when the VO ask if i had the SAT,Thank you so much i really appreciate....

VO---So you are going to the skool because u like the skool or what?And he didnt let me say anything again and pass back my documents and i left in a very bad mood nd i was sick all of that day.....That was how the first one went


The second interview...i almost GOT MY VISA HERE THO
ME----GoodMorning ma,with a smile
VO--Morning,pass me your passport and application form with a pretty smile
me--i passed them
VO--why did you choose this skool?
ME----i choose this particular university because of the good instinct moral they pass to their student and the praticals they do on a daily Basics in my program .
VO--Who is sponsoring you?
Me---MY MUM
VO--WHAT DOES SHE DO?
ME--SHE IS A BUSINESS WOMAN,SHE HAVE A WAREHOUSE COMPANY WHERE SHE SUPPLY,SALE AND DISTRIBUTE OF ASSORTED DRINKS AND ALSO TRAVEL ABROAD TO BUY GOOD LIKE BAGS,SHOES AND GOLDS AND SELL BACK HERE IN NIGERIA.
VO--Okay and she was looking at her system,she already had my passport with her...she is about to tear Ticket for me and we are both silent. and went like this again
VO----DO YOU HAVE SAT?
ME---NO I DONT
VO--KAY
ME---PRAYING INSIDE ME AGAIN AND SHAKING
VO--AM sorry i wont be able to grant your visa and pass back my documents.

From your two interviews, it is very clear your not writing the SAT nailed your chances. However, go this time with what I've told you as reason for not writing the test. You'll get it this time, I assure you.

As for likely questions that might come up, start reading the interview experiences posted on this thread since may. Visa interviews have changed somewhat in recent times and are not what you've been used to. So I suggest that you read them to get familiar with the likely questions that are now asked currently.
