@Lagosismyhome and @sheyhun please can you help Hello. I have my interview tmrw for 9pm. I just read something on this thread not too pleasant about the school I'm going to (california miramar). My dad had his first degree and master in a private school in the US and he recommended that I pick a private school, secondly I read that california miramar MBA was ranked one of top in california by the San Diego business journal in 2011 . They also offer specialised MBA like I'm going for MBA- technology management and I'm a digital and transactional banking executive in a bank. Thirdly their fees is relatively cheaper than other schools I've checked so far. Please can anyone advise me if this reasons make any sense at all cause I'm getting scared. I also applied to only one school. Will lying about the number of schools I applied to increase my chances?

Dont lie oooo.... just go with what you have. Sell yourself, be upbeat and confident and state the reasons why you picked the school. I have seen the VO give visa to some schools like this . All.the best tomorrow

Stop trying hard to convince yourself. The school is a shitty school, not worth your hard earned money except you be yahoo yahoo.

Luck, luck can still be by your side. With all you've outlined, all you have is luck.

Summer around here starts in two weeks, so if you haven't paid the fee, or your school is yet to admit you, you should focus on Fall, 2017 which starts in August. This is based on visa and other logistics.

Please guys I need list of schools which only need official transcript submission after admission has been offered.
I intend to study PhD civil engineering. You can be of help please

This is not a nice criteria to choose schools. Esp if you'll be spending the next 5 +x years there. Most schools would let you submit your unofficial transcripts for admission, and you only send the official copy upon admission.

I'm thankful to Electronic, Slimmy2005, SirRiddy, Gunther6, aadeyi, Lagosismyhome for their responses to my last post. Sorry it took a while to get back, work got crazy over the weekend sad

I seemingly can't quote their posts because it's now Part 11 and the post in Part10 seem to be locked (or is there a way to do this?)

@Slimmy: Good to hear that you have 2 friends in similar program, can you kindly inquire how they got funded? Thanks

@happyday: Thanks for your response. I seriously hope they don't expect me to fund my way all through. Interestingly, I mentioned my areas of interest in my SOP and even mentioned faculties I'd like to work in their research group. If need be, I'd reference it in my subsequent mail to the Grad Coord

@SirRiddy: Thanks bro! So you got in for the MS too? I guess you chose K-state cos it's PhD and the funding? Do you by any chance have anyone doing PHD in KU? @your 2nd comment: I really don't understand this fully. Sending you a PM


@Lagosismyhome: Truth is I didn't state that I needed funding in my SoP and there was no where in the application that asked. I'd definitely follow your advise and mail the program Coord on Monday

@Ponpon: Thanks for the kind words. I'm sure yours is around the corner too! I pray funding follows oo


@Gunther6: Bro! Long time! Yes Sir, won't start the program without funding, I don't even have the means. How's JHU treating you?

Still open to more guidance!

I saw your question and I thought someone has helped you , anyway..after getting your i20 you need to pay sevis fee https://www.fmjfee.com/ You cant pay in Nigeria. You need to fill out the coupon on that website yourself then send the printout to someone Abroad preferably USA to make payment for you, Its about $210. After making payment then you fill out the DS-160 form http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-ds160complete.asp . After filling the DS 160 form, pay visa fee at any gtb bank and schedule for visa interview at https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=Nigeria. P.S A quick google search would have given you guidelines on how to do this, not every time questions, sometimes be proactive

Hello,

I just got my I-20. I don't know what next to do? Someone should please guide me on how to I can apply for f-1 visa and pay my SEVIS fee

Go up and put the word sevis . It will bring up old post about the top and can guide you... also this the website https://studyinthestates.dhs.gov/paying-your-i-901-sevis-fee

For Nigerians it has to be western union or certified cheque. Before it had to be Western union outside nigeria but someone stated here she was able to do it at a 1st bank western union in lekki. ... find a western union that has "quick pay" service

Next steps are for you to pay your sevis, visa payment of 64k in gtb , complete the ds160 and book an appointment

If you have been following the thread for 6years, then VIU should scarcely have been considered as a school. Please dig deeper and consider a better school. Best of luck. BTW, I greet everyone in the house and wish you all the best especially those coming to the US in Fall 2017.

To be honest with you bro/sis, thr is no relationship btw Linguistics and Edu Tech. If u really want to concentrate in Edu Tech, go fr curriculum and instruction. Also, some uni offer Msc Edu Tech.

Teedawg I don laff tire for here.
Well Iam still reminiscing on the experience and I feel extremely lucky and grace covered me..
Many should be able to learn from my transcript especially the undergraduate applicants..
What I learnt?
Dont bother urself cramming any long transcript or preparing any long answers cause this interview is 2 mins or less. As early as 7:00am no VO has time to listen to any stories. Just short answers and straight to the point.. #I don't think u will be able to smile while talking with the VO, because u will have ur A game on and u dont have to worry that u are not smiling cos after paying N64k, na serious business.
You will not be able to hear what other applicants are saying to their VO's cos u will be too worried thinking of the "right" window to go.
Please never stop believing and always have faith.

Nice piece bro. I'm learning.
