pls bro how its going to affect me, since am OK with school's curriculum?
And what do you think I should do thanks�

Dude perhaps you should read some interview transcripts here. It won’t help you to apply to just 1 school. Apply to more, you can choose whichever grants you admission later.

In addition to what Twood said. If it's only one school you are applying to, No problem..

But, be rest assured that you will tell the VO the other schools you considered when applying to only one school and make sure that you are ready to explain why you considered so many schools and it's only one you applied to..

I'm not going with oluwole o, just asking cuz my visa interview date is very late and it takes about 1 week to complete the administrative processing.

Sometimes, it takes a month.

Just pray to God, believe and you'll be fine.

See, community colleges are not exactly charming to any VO. Applying to a community school will reduce your probability of getting that visa. I didn't say it's not possible to get it with one - some people have been that lucky - but the chances become dimmer.

Why do you want a community college so bad? Don't you want to get a degree that would enable you walk into anywhere with confidence? Even if you choose 3 community colleges and they scramble over you with admission letters, it won't impress the VO. In Nigerian parlance, they are "backyard schools" compared to the hundreds of finer colleges. So you will get asked why you are applying to only community colleges; like, why would you want to spend time and money on a backyard school?

As for being affordable, I understand your point of view, but that perspective may not hold water for the VO. Well, just prepare convincing answers by going through the thread for people that have gotten theirs with community colleges. Search, locate, copy, paste somewhere. Search chapter 10 to 12. Community colleges are usually more difficult to sell no matter the reason.

Hello Mr. Texerem. Post has been addressed I think. Kindly take down to remove your referencing. Good morning

Please I am having issues getting a flight to Cleveland Ohio. Can I book a flight to New York and then connect to Cleveland by road. Or will it pose a problem at my POE. You know like " you are going to Cleveland, why stop in new York. Please I need an urgent suggestion because my school is about resuming thanks. Walspring Lagosismyhome, ijebuboy

Guyz, if you are academically sound and you are on a quest to study in the US, I encourage you to put in all it takes to get admitted to an Ivy league or very top US program. Aim to ace the GRE or GMAT, very high GPA, a well crafted personal statement/essays with compelling emotions and an achivement based profile with alot of volunteer experience. These schools look at intellectual vitality, leadership potentials, employability after graduation, class uniqueness and diversity and future supportive alumni network to mention but a few high points. See a transcript at the US embassy for F1 visa.
VO: your passport and i20
Hands over to the CO.
VO: congratulations on your Stanford GSB admission. Pick up your passport at the circled location and keep up the good work.

Another
VO: pass your documents, i20 and passport only.
Hands over.
VO: wow. Wharton Upen? Just once in a while we get to see intakes from Africa. What did you score in the standard test and what was your GPA?
Gmat 760 and GPA 4.89/5.0 scale.
VO: awesome. Thought as much.
Pick up u...blaaa nlaaa.

And guess what? before graduation, alot of fortune 500 companies will awash you with countless offer.

My advice, with God and a very good foundation, life becomes very easy. My 2cent to encourage my every intellectually curious minds.

This was practically mine and my younger brother's experience. If you ace your tests, and you're admitted to top US schools (often with full funding) you virtually get zero questions at the interview. Your path to staying in the US is also smoother.

For those looking for "cheap" schools or looking to scrimp out of taking standardized tests... good luck.

1. If you say at the interview that you're going to a CC for cost reasons, then the logical conclusion is that you cannot afford to school in the US and you will be denied.

2. CCs do not grant bachelors degrees. You have to transfer to a regular 4-year degree granting university to obtain a bachelors. How do you intend to do that? Can you explain this at your interview?

I stopped worrying about Twoods when i saw his profile picture. That states clearly who he is

This your username get as e be ooo, I am actually rolling on the floor here Haba!! It's not that serious

Emmyirab:
Good day good people,
I just got an email from my school that my I20 has been shipped, so it'll probably get to me in a week.
When is it advisable to book my appointment for??
I'm thinking of booking for mid January.
Is that too early??

P.S: I'm going for Spring 2018 and classes start Mid April.

I won't advice you to go to the Embassy too early enough... I have a friend who went 3 months to his program he was denied... He was confident he did well... But the second time was a discussion.
I feel when you come too early it could show you have normal doing here in Nigeria, VO DIFFERS
So I advice a least a month

Regards

How old are ? ...when did you finish secondary school ?

Although Cc is more difficult (although I am not a VO so speculation that it appears more difficult ) ...i have seen one or two get approval. Check pass transcript and use that as a guide
