Who knows anyone writing GRE soon. I have a fantastic Princeton material that helped me a great deal. Will give it out for free, though it cost me some dough when I got it.
Please kindly share via onemolesystem@gmail.com Thanks.

Ofcourse you have to. Inform your international student office that you have a dependant. And you will get a dependant i20.

GOOD MORNING PEOPLE, PLEASE HELP IN REVIEWING MY PROPOSED TRANSCRIPT, MY INTERVIEW IS TOMORROW MORNING, THANKS


VO: Good morning ma'am, pass me you I-20, passport please.
Me: Good morning. Sure, here they are.
VO: What are you going to the US to do?
Me: I am going Jamestown community college for a certificate in network and systems administration This Certificate program can be a very hard stuff for you to sell
VO: What is your highest degree?
Me: Bachelor of Biochemistry
VO: What year did you graduate?
Me: I graduated in 2013
VO:Why are you going for an associate degree why not a bachelor degree
Me: I want a degree that will take me just two years and considering my sponsors budget, university is way more expensive. This response here is not the best. You already have a degree, and If cost will be an issue; the vo could ask, why not do the certification in aptec or NIIT. Why waste fleight ticket money that can be used to gain this same certification in Nigeria? This is a question you should ponder.
VO: Why are you switching career
Me: My first job in the IT firm was an eye opener for me but jobs were not assigned to me because I do not have a degree related to the IT industry So you have just clearly stated it here now that jobs were not given to you because you do not have a degree in IT. So why aren't you going for a degree in IT then. Why waste your time and money on a certificate or associate degree course that will probably not land you any serious jobs since you not have a degree in IT. A course that you could probably do online for a price far cheaper than your air ticket to USA and also probably cheaper than what aptech may charge you here in Nigeria?
VO: why this program
Me: My goal is to support organizations by ensuring a smooth running computing infrastructure, so getting a degree in this program will give me the practical and theoretical knowledge to achieve this goal and also it will not limit me to my place of work. You just said your course is a certificate course or even an associate degree. SO it is not qualified to be called a degree!
VO: How much school did you applied to
Me: 4 other school, Kansas city CC, Jefferson CC, Metropolitan CC, and Houston CC.
VO:How many gave you admission
Me: 3
VO: Why JCC
Me: Of all the school that gave me admission, Only JCC introduced business as part of the curriculum for my course of interest which was a side catch for me and also the department provides one on one mentoring by major professors like professor Williams and Mr. Jeffery.
VO: What have you been doing since then?
Me: After my NYSC in 2015, I got a worked in an IT firm as a customer support (training and implementing hospital software, then in 2016 I got a job in my current place of work as an IT consultant where I support and monitor the IT operations) Ask yourself, How can someone work as an IT consultant when they have clearly stated that they were a complete novice when it comes to IT, and you already stated that your first place of work could not assign jobs to you in your current state.
VO: Who is paying for your studies?
Me: My place of work will be sponsoring my studies Why will your place of work sponsor you to study for a certification or Associate degree in IT when you are a novice in the field, and keeping in mind the huge cost of living and studying in the USA, why will they gain by sponsoring you?
VO: Why are they sponsoring you?
Me: I have been able to improve the hospital operations by introduce the use of hospital software to run our operations Where did you learn the skills to do this? and how did you exactly improve there hospital operations. Remember you had said your place of work is an IT Firm.
VO: Do you have any children?
Me: No ma'am
VO: Are you married?
Me: No ma'am
VO: You qualify for a Visa ........
Me: Thanks
In all sincerity, I feel with all these points I raised, It maybe difficult for you to sell a good explanation to each of them.
If you could, I will humbly suggest that you cancel your interview and visa application and do not appear for the interview. Please do not use this application to stain or jeopardize your record in-case things go south
Probably an Agent may have done this package for you; But I must tell you that this could be a tough sell.
It will be better you go through this USA thread from Page 0 and study to master the process and then apply for suitable qualification. It could still be something in your Biochemistry with some touch of IT.
This journey is not something your undertake in a haste, else you could make things unnecessarily difficult for you.

Best!

Good evening e-fam. Please I need urgent response to a Q. My GRE is coming up in Sept. and I'm narrowing down schools to apply to. My proposed course is MS Biotechnology, and I've spoken to a few grad coord (especially because of my low GPA of 2.8/4). I’m one of the no funding, no going set of people.

Advice and suggestions are welcome please!

Here is my current profile:

Undergraduate Major: Microbiology
Proposed MS Major: Biotechnology
GPA: 2.8/4
GRE: Writing by Sept
Year of graduation: 2014
NYSC completion: 2016
Work Experience: One year as Research Assistant and 1+ years working in a Biomedical Research firm.

Does anyone know how i can go about getting funding. Few graduate coords that I spoke with only mentioned that my GRE score and SOP will go a long way in determining if I will be admitted. I don't want to ruin the conversation by asking if I'll qualify for funding, because many grad coords did not even respond to my mail which discussed availability of funding.

Kindly help o, 'cos I've been on this issue since 2016.

Hello everyone, my visa interview is in a week from now and I'm thinking of postponing it due to some very important reasons. I have paid for sevis and all. Although I'm yet to mail my school's grad studies coordinator for admission deferring, is it possible to shift/postpone my interview date till Dec? Do I have to pay for a new visa fee and sevis fee if I'm going to another school? Please how possible is this?

Someone should please help. i'd appreciate it if you can help me with the steps as well.
