My cousin was recently looking for a roommate to share an apartment and it was based on someone transcript posted 2 weeks ago that i linked both of them up . They might not end up sharing a flat but u never know the network that is built from here ....When the new student gets to the school , at least he has my cousin to link up with and show him some steps .

Also I know several previous Emory MPH naija students and who ended up matching for residency after MPH . That network base is something Anybody can tap into if they want by Holler Does anyone know such and such in Emory or In any school. ......

The power of using your Networks is key .....A lot of jobs is about networking and you only know whats out there by sharing , go see how the Indian they help each other enter places.

I am done with this topic . My f1 Journey was years ago as undergrad and masters. I only viewed this thread this year for a cousin . Where i am today has partly due to networks.

Pls link me up with Emory MPH naija students na. Don't know any.

hi worry359
I know you are not a huge fan of posting
transcripts here just like many other members here.
However, I believe the advantage of doing so cannot be overemphasized.

1. People can discover which other people are going for their majors,
connect with them and help grow together while studying. When the time
for looking for internships and jobs comes, these people may be source
of information and support. I have sent a pm to bigfrancis21 and biikeys
because they are in IT related fields. The amount of information I have
ganered from them is not little at all.

2. People could find the name of schools offering the course they are
interested in and this could help start a conversation. For instance, the
school I am attending was suggested by a member here, and I went ahead to
do my homework and applied. I got into the program and even got an
assistantship too. slimmy2005, even though his recent behavior really
irked me, has helped several people to get into his school and even
helped with scholarships too. How do you think this would have been possible
if he attended 'bleep' University?

3. You said there are enough transcripts here already and that is where you
get it totally wrong. Do not forget that these interviews are case by case
basis and experiences of similar candidates differ. This can be extended
to other things including job hunt too. OjaP wrote here one day about how
he always got a reject when he was applying for jobs then because he kept
saying he had no work authorization, whereas his OPT was work authorization.

Nobody is asking for your full names, your dad's occupation, your
school apartment address or annual salary. You may think you already have
a great job and doing great in the US but you never know which little info
could help accomplish a simple task that has been giving you sleepless nights.
Little mistakes people have made can be avoided if they see that others who
made them post them. Life is hard already, we could make it a little
easier for one another if we share information.
I am sorry if anybody felt insulted or repulsed when they were called out for
not posting their transcripts. It is the culture here and has helped a lot
and it would be nice if that would continue.
worry359:


There are hundreds of transcripts here already.
Do you think you will learn something that has never been posted before?
Or can you not search back?
Is that a reason to crucify someone who does not post a transcript. shocked shocked

Boss in the house that have been in usa for long or have idea please help. Please I need to learn or perhaps perfect my driving skills before I go for the driving test but I want to know if there is a way to get learners permit to enable me practice on the road or even in school without having problem with police incase stopped.
Imperiouxx, slimmy2005, msnas and others that have idea on this please help.
what state are you ? you can get a learner permit (limited term) before you do the real driving test. go to your local DPS office and take the computer test. you don't neccesarily have to do driving test now. I drove for about 6 months before I went ahead to do the real driving test.

I hav always believed GRE has more weight than English eficiency tests.... also I think what turned the VO off was "how u got d sch". Twas too general... I have to be honest with you... ur preparation was LAZY!!..

I prepared. God knows! I first stammered when I was cslled

When I hear people on this forum preparing and over preparing for an interview, I ask myself, why all the preparation?

If you did the application yourself from start to finish, I don't think there is anything the VO would ask that you are unable to answer.

Don't get me wrong, I know that I asked someone to send me transcripts but the young lady I sent it to refused to go through it because she sees no need for it. I believe that over preparing might make one stutter because you have so many things running through your mind.

I believe the only thing we applicant have to work on is our communication skill, confidence, the ability to give cogent answers to questions asked and been honest.

Also, I've heard people talk about dressing. Their website no correlation between what you wear and a VO's decision to give or refuse visa. When I was given USA visa, I wore Jean and plain white t-shirt to the embassy.

I understand that people are nervous but have it at the back of your mind that VO's are humans, please don't try to impress.

Nigeria isn't the best country I know but we still have to carry out shoulders high. America as you all know isn't the safest country in the world but her citizens still dey package the country like say na the best.

Lastly, please guys let's try to be careful in our a choice of words. Insulting one another isn't the best. Abroad no be the end of life oh, there are still other challenges ahead. I'm not a guru but I've been on this platform for a minute.

Hmm, abroad sweet when you are young but it's kinda bitter as you get more responsibilities.

Stay blessed guys. No disrespect to anyone. I apologize if my message offends anyone.

Ohh that's a course mismatch... Only if you have a valid reason which can be explained to the VO why you switching from Agric-Engineering to Tech-Mgt.. Any prerequisite course(s) done at the undergraduate level can suffice.. Just pray for a kindhearted VO that will ask and give you room to explain "Why this course" question.

I personally dont think its the Switch that was just the problem ......It has to do with how you first started, and then the next response wasn’t better and neither was the next ... At that point it was hard to bounce back.

Firstly why the school is your best time to shine…….Get it right especially the first question. words like Random searches not a good choice of words , then good faculty ratio ....Almost all schools have that . I think new applicants stop using reasons like that. Also “Tech management” the focus would not be so much on research or Laboratories but that was one of your reasons... There are much indept answers to have given regarding Tech management.

Then on to the next …..No GRE then next a different undergrad.

To be honest there was no selling point you shined in. …… I would always recommend doing GRE as a MUST !!! and IF YOU DON’T have it , defend it QUICKLY …….

For example if it was me I would have said I did IELTS and xx was my score (if it was high) and then add I planned to do GRE but it was not requirement for this school and the other schools I applied to . I was evaluated on my other body of work such as GPA, SOP, MY GOOD LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION … Until the VO say this person too talk ...enough then cuts me off . ...Although you tread carefully blc next question could have been what was ur GPA . and it better be high the way i have packaged myself or i have shot myself .

@ Deetus, Oluphy, Gunther6, Darefadi, Texrem and above all CALFAVOUR.

I really appreciate your feedback on my transcript

I can deduce three things wrong in my transcript now
1. Self sponsor gives a red flag
2. Not linking my study plans with my present employment
3. Not able to list out reasonable number of courses I will be doing

I have noted all these.

As for confidence, I was so confident. Looked at her eyes all thru and my voice was loud.

But this people no dey try.
I am an orphan who was opportuned have properties inherited from my parents. I also earn 210600/month (net pay). I have a flat I get rent from and 1 plot of land. Also had deed of agreement of a land I sold 2014 for 3million. I tut I was fit to sponsor myself having 7million in my acct and school fees being 4800 dollars per semester .....Never knew I needed to say all these without being asked - My bad. Guess I will add my brother to be supporting sponsor. He can provide a statement worth 20Million


Linking travel plans to work. I no try at all. I have travelled to the UK b4 and spent just 3weeks - last year May . I tut that would prove that I will come back...I f-up. To add to it, I am married with a kid which in DS-160 (Although there is no space provided in DS-160 to fill if u have a kid except u travelling with the kid)


The courses I will be doing. Kai!
Oyinbo don craze. When I gain admission for undergraduate study for Lasu, did I know any course I will be doing? Na wa oh. Na to just dey mention courses wey I do for 400level for next interview if I no remember. Lol

Please more responses cos I am already preparing for the next interview. Aja 2, gbera....As I dey drive dey come house sef, I almost bash 2 different times. God help us all.
Abeg if I am applying again, will I fill a fresh DS-160
You will get it right next time. I don't have much time these days otherwise I would have asked you to send me an e-mail.

One thing about the US Embassy is that they want to issue visas to the right candidates, so work on your lapses and you will surely be alright.

You have quite a number of home ties.
Good luck brother!

so sorry about this visa delay.
F 1 visa Interview as I have learnt is really based on your presentation and not on the documents you have with you.
Just to point a few things from your responses above.
firstly (bold). I think she was expecting to hear of the role you will be playing in 'the company' (what different the MBA will add to your role on coming back). in as much as we need to keep our responses short...we also need to answer correctly (give them what they want to hear, convince them). 'What will you be doing..?' taking a study leave and coming back answers nothing to the VO's question. you suppose shine here....

The second (bold), I'm sure those courses you mentioned has code.... like GEOL 522: history and philosophy of Geology, GEOL 511: advance structural Geology and so on. mention the courses like you are eager to start taking the MBA courses

In all, it might not even be the things I have pointed out...we need to look at your confident level...I hope you were looking into the VO's eyes? I hope you prayed seriously for this? I hope the is really the right course for you at this time.

Let the gurus in the house talk...I'm only a baby here.

Well said
