Sorry to read this...maybe its becoming harder. That been said this above wasnt a very good answer.

Most undergrad do research conferences so its most likely all ur other schools do it. Then to ur next reason and next faculty ratio...most schools have good ratio . So nothing stood out to make it memorable.

.next time stay away from generic answers and make it unique. U have the first 10 second to make a good impression so if they are now asking 1 or 2 questions then its key that u are on point from beggining. All the best

thank you for the support

thank you for the support

When does you school resume. U can evulate everything and see if u want to go back. If u do just get more in depth answers ..prepare this time not just reading NL ..... all depend on you if u want to go again
If u want something never give up on your dream.

Like fizzile earlier pointed out. IERF is great. What is your CGPA? IERF costs $165(includes your own free copy plus a copy to one school). your copy is sent by air-mail, it doesnt have tracking so it takes a while before it gets delivered to you, but then you can pay for a faster delivery. For WES, you gotta be uptight and always worrying whether or not your sch has replied them. ierf, your school sends an original copy of ur transcript with or without an original certificate and then max 2weeks your docs are evaluated.

Igbiboi:
My good people of nairaland abeg try help a brother out. I am urgently in need of a credential evaluation because I am running behind schedule. Ideally, I should have used WES but my understanding of WES is that it takes a lot of time, as such I need another evaluation. But my problem is that I need a more friendly evaluation, by that I mean I don't want an evaluation that will slash my GPA into two, lol. I have heard about IERF, FCSA and others, Please can anyone here refer me to a credential evaluation that is as friendly as WES or even has a better evaluation than WES, I promise that person a bottle of e-Heineken lol.

Thanks

free conversions are rough estimates. I entirely do not depend on them. it might come out lower or more. better not to put your hopes high

borie4u:
On d icgpa using Wes I got a conversion of 3.14 and 3.45 for bsc n MSC respectively. I hope on actual Wes conversion it won't be less

You said you went through nairaland transcripts and you still talked about student to faculty ratio? c'mon! that is weak. You should have a more passionate response to that question, and well talking about how affordable the school is, most people apply to schools that match their budget, so talking about how affordability is not necessary(my opinion), cuz I'm sure you must have applied to other ''affordable schools'' btw what program are you going for?

Kpimp:
visa delayed on Tuesday. my first experience about visa interview
vo: so why did you choose southwest Minnesota state university over others

me: I said it organizes an undergraduate research conference annually this which would challenge me to develop my self academically so I can showcase my intellectual ability.and also the[b] school tuition and living expenses are affordable compared to other school and it has a good students to faculty ratio which is 16:1[/b].

Thank you
that means I have to take his American passport with me right?

sorry for the denial. Book another date if you can. Then this time you have to make the VO know that you are an intending student.

1. you dont need to say your dad's friend introduced you to the international officer. yes you can say he told you about the school,then on your own you went through google search engine and got all info about the school and contacted the admission officer in the person of ...... and filed your application.

2. why did you choose this school. pls forget about ratio,ranking, whether is cheap or not. talk more on the course curriculum as it suits your interest and if possible relate it or link it to how it will benefit you in proferring solutions to the challenges nigeria is facing today when you come back. Search for an organization in nigeria that is in line with what you are going to study and tell them when you come back that is where you would want to work.

Please this is an overview try to be succint in your speech and pray very hard.

One question they ll ask you is what has changed in your profile, so be prepared to answer that.

thank you for the breakdown of possible causes.can I pm you

fizzile:
No, they don't. But trust me you will be amazed at how your GPA will climb. I am telling you out of experience. I know what am saying. Mekurexx and OjaP can attest to that. Never expected it was gonna increase that much. Just evaluate your transcript.

Bro Abeg can we talk offline. I've sent you a Pm, I need every detail on this IERF.. Thanks

Mekurexx:
Like fizzile earlier pointed out. IERF is great. What is CGPA?

Bro, the GP is 3.3

Your chances if you re-apply are as high as are willing to make it. Just Prepare well this time. Even though you deffered till next year and u r not prepared, it might still go the wrong way.

Oga Walspring please i need your advise.
please any means in which i could have a private chat with you?

people don't seems to response to PM here, I beg help a brother, I really need your input in my admission and app decision. God bless.

Following keenly!! Nice work fams, please can guys already in school post about their transition, coping with the new environment,educational differences and how y'all were able to adapt. I know y'all are very busy now but please this will give a little hint on what to expect. This will make this thread more than a "visa thread".Blessings

From experience, provided you entered ALL your grades CORRECTLY, that's what you are gonna have. My official evaluation was same as the ICGPA's.

on 5.0? it will pass the 3.0/4.0 mark. and also depends on your school grading system

Igbiboi:


Bro, the GP is 3.3

Mekurexx:

Yeah, that is on a 5.0. What do you mean by "depends on your school grading system".

Sure you can say that because saying the truth always help..

Also don't forget that there are so many ways of becoming American citizen

Sariahogbe11:

Yes whether they ask for it or not

Ashbammy, u r right. u n kpimp were asked the same questions but I believed his last answer messed it up. the VO was friendly to u but to kpimp, he wasn't. Such is life!

Walspring:

I'm not aiming towards citizenship, I just want to school there
Though he has filed for citizenship for me already
