Hi Guys,

For Guys going in for their interviews, please have a "Strong, Convincing but short answer" to the following questions:

Why are you going to the US?
Why you not pursuing it here in Nigeria?
How did you hear of this school?
Why this course?
Will you be specializing?
Tell me about it?
What will an MSC do for you?
How many schools did you apply to?
Name them?
What is the relationship between all these schools?
Why did you choose this school?
Did you take any standardized test?
What did you score?
Who is sponsoring you?
What does he/she do?
Where would you be staying over at the university?
Tell me your about study plan?
Plans after graduation?
will you be receiving a monthly stipend?
Do you have an idea how much that is?
when did you finish University?
What have you been doing since then?

General Tips:
1. Do not cram your answers but have an idea of all you are going to say. Easier that way to build your sentences when you forget what you planned to say.
2. While waiting on the queue, listen to all the questions asked by the VOs to applicants ahead of you and build strong answers there on the queue (if you did not prepare for such questions)
3. Do not fret, do not let the numerous blue papers issued out make you lose your confidence
4. Do not answer what you are not asked.
5. If you have funding or impressive GRE/GMAT/SAT scores, please try to talk about your scores in one of your answers early in your interview. Please be reasonable.
(VO: How are you?
You: I have funding/ I scored 326/340) OYO oooo
6. Do not set yourself up. Dont start talking too much on things you do not have knowledge about, it will lead to more questions.
7. PRAY LIKE YOU NEVER PREPARED
PREPARE LIKE THERE'S NO GOD.

Goodluck

Please somebody in the house. I asked someone in the US to help make $200 payment for my Sevis fee from the Western Union shop close to her. I gave her $200 naira equivalent. She is asking me if she isn't going to pay additional charges on the $200 Sevis fee. Please I need clarification from those who previously2 paid.

Your level of studies,I guess undergraduate
Your certifications
Your age if you can.

But generally you would need to take some tests most particularly
SAT for UnderG
GRE for Graduate
And TOEFL for the two.
Most schools requires WES Evaluation.

You will search for schools that suit your budget financially and academically.
Work and aim high score in your test and the apply to the schools and get admitted.

Ask questions if any part is unclear to you.

derrydinny:
level of studies is undergraduate
certifications are waec(I don't understand this clearly)
age is 18


how much is the cost of taking a GRE and TOEFL and how hard are they, what are the subjects also? what is WES evaluation please?

Godchangemylife:

World Education Services (WES) is a nonprofit organization that provides credential evaluations for international students and immigrants planning to study or work in the U.S. and Canada.
You're going to take SAT and not GRE
GRE is for the graduates SAT is for the UnderGs
SAT and TOEFL ,Typically cost #45k each.
SAT is a combination of Math and English.
TOEFL is a combination of Writing, Speaking, Listening and Reading.
How hard it is might depend on how hard you prepared.

derrydinny:
thanks bro, I am very good in maths and not poor in English, I can pass the exams if I study hard, thanks a lot

but is it also possible to gain admission without doing both?

yuscodguy:


Pm let me give you a mock interview

Jpoppins:
@doublezero7 good morning please is there a way i can reach you ? My mail is not going

Silewinnie1:
Please house, do I need to sign the Student Attestation part and the sponsor part on my form i-20 before going for interview?

doublezero7:


Hello ma'am,

Drop your mail please.

Godchangemylife:
yes but most of the schools can be so expensive and might not worth it . But another suggestion is Community College most doesn't require these tests
A community college is a 2-year institution they offer Associate degree and you then transfer to get your bachelor degree at a university for a period of two years. Four all together.
But taking the tests is highly adviced to gain some scholarship If you're not buoyant enough and guarante admission to the top notched schools If you have an high score.

derrydinny:
thanks bro but do you have an idea of how much community colleges pay as tuition?

VO: Why did u choose to study in the US instead of Nigeria?
There are universities here in Nigeria that offer Environmental Design and Planning, but they focus more on the theoretical aspect, and do not provide the practical research opportunities for my preferred course.

VO: Tell me your study plans/Program schedule?
I plan to go for PhD in Environmental Design and Planning at Virginia Tech. It will require a total of 90 credit hours including minimum of 30 hours core course work. I will be taking courses like Innovation in Construction, Sustainable facility system, Sustainable Infrastructures system, Principles and practices of Construction, series of independent study, seminars, proposal and dissertation. And after the program I will be coming back to Nigeria to start a lecturing job at my Alma Mata.


VO: How did you get to know about this school?
I did an extensive research online using academic websites such as US News, gradschools, education USA and I focused my search based on my area of interest and schools that match my ambition and goals.


VO: Tell me about your course?
This course, Environmental Design and Planning requires a minimum of 90 credit hours including minimum of 30 credit hours of core courses and I will be offering courses like Innovation in construction, Principles and practices of construction, advanced fundamentals of Construction Management, sustainable infrastructures system. Also at graduation I would have successfully completed qualifying and preliminary exams, proposal defense and dissertation defense.
