GboyegaD:
Why are you not going for graduate studies?

I plan transferring, and because the associate degree is the most affordable for my guardian that why

uniquefurlife:
First it isn't about writing a standardized test and refiring. The Vo wants to see a progress in your education. Do you have a bsc already? if yes and this was included in your profile it's usually a redflag. I will advice you to relax and take things one at a time write a standardized test then apply to a university because "community college" is usually difficult to sell to a VO.

I didn't add a bsc to my certificate,just an A'level program result

yuscodguy:
You do it for interview sake

Okay thanks, I'd do it and still refire the same school

yuscodguy:
I will say the VO decided after asking about your standardize test and you said no, this is one of the reason people do advice we write this exams so that they wont have any where to grap us.
I feel your pain, better luck next time

But it wasn't required by my school

Had my interview today and it was hell....please help me look through,am open to suggestion and corrections, I need to know where I got it wrong.... The conversation goes thus :
Me : Good morning ma (with a smile)
Vo:Good morning,pass me ur passport and I20
Vo: Why did u choose this school?
Me: I choose Baltimore city community college because of it standard and content of education they offer and the fact that they emphasis more on the likes of the course's I'd be taking
Vo: Did you write any standardized exam's?
Me: No ma
Vo: Have you travelled before?
Me: No ma ,have never heard any cause to travel
Vo: Am sorry u do not qualify for a visa ,handed me my passport and a blue paper

100kobo:
So many potholes, not one, not two. I wouldn't know when you wish to apply. I would rather you're not in a hurry to do so. Concentrate more on compiled Transcripts and watch you spot the "potholes" yourself. This Thread is such a blessing and repository. It's a pity many have elected not to take the time to rummage through it.

Yours is still work in progress and with a little more effort, you'll get it right.

Thanks

Rytefish:
Hope the interview is not as soon as November? Because you still have a lot of loopholes to cover up. Ain't a guru but I know when you are getting it wrong from personal experience garnered so far.

I know others will also contribute, but take this little piece along with what ever they add.

What happened to Why USA?

Why Nursing?

Also, the response to the question, "What's your study plan?" You are not to even say "depending on my GPA", who says that? I mean the VO might not wait for another second before handing over the blue paper to you. It definitely shows you ain't brilliant enough to study Medicine or whichever course it could be. Haba!! You must be convincing enough to show you are gonna make it top of the class, which I believe you can.

Also, how dare you say "depending on my guardian's opinion" ? If you can graduate top of the class, then you need not ask for your guardian's consent to continue, s/he will be glad to give his/her best to ensure you continue your studies, although I may not be fully right with this, but that remains my own opinion.

Why did you choose Baltimore?
Uhmmmm, any reputable institution will do what you just mentioned, I have seen several times 100kobo and Lagosismyhome, mentioning that you should try to be program specific when giving reasons for choosing a particular school. It shows you have done your research.

When did you finish secondary school?
Don't mention your parents' inability to make available what you think you need to succeed academically, that doesn't sound right to me, although it's a personal decision. But when did you write your A level exams? Will you be presenting it at the interview? Then, it means you were working at your uncle's hospital, spending some time to learn the basics of Nursing before taking your A level prior to applying to a school in the US. Isn't it?


Vo: So you intend going for an associate degree then you will transfer ?
Me: Yes sir

This last statement counters what you mentioned earlier, as you said you are not sure of your next move after graduation.
So, you need to be careful of what your responses as VOs try to play pranks on interviewees.

I ask again, hope you ain't going for the interview as soon as November, if yes, you need a lot of reformation and practice to get the visa issued, well, I just remembered you never mentioned "Who will be sponsoring you?

Success. I long to see your visa issued transcript.

Thanks for the observations,please look through this again and let me know where potholes are....Thanks for your time
