ybahrbz91:
Good morning house.
kindly help review my proposed transcript.
Why are you going to USA?
I am going to USA for my masters in Rehabilitation Science at the University of Illinois, Chicago.(UIC)

How many schools and why UIC
2, Concordia university Wisconsin and UIC.
I choose UIC because of an ongoing research at the brain Plasticity Laboratory aimed at improving optimal functions among stroke survivors which aligns with my career interest. Headed my Dr sands who has consented to me volunteering at the Laboratory.
Another reason I choose UIC is because of its multidisciplinary approach towards the management of stroke survivors, this brings together professionals from different fields in other to attain optimal functional recovery.

Why this course?
After the completion of my first degree in Medical Rehabilitation(physiotherapy major), I have had the opportunity to practice both in the public and private health sector and having witnessed the multiple hassles being faced by stroke survivors and their caregivers and challenges in attaining an optimal functional recovery, I was propelled to further in the field of Neuro-rehabilitation.


What will this course do for you?
As a physiotherapist, a masters degree in Rehab science affords me the opportunity to seek for the post of a neuro-rehabilitation specialist at any federal teaching Hospital back here in Nigeria.
In addition, a Masters degree in this course will further sharpen both my research and clinical skills which would be brought to bear in delivering an evidenced based Rehabilitation service in other to improve functional recovery among stroke survivors and hence reduce the alarming rate of premature death on my return to Nigeria.

What is your plan after your study?
I will be returning to Nigeria to seek for the job position of a Neuro-rehabilitation specialist at a federal Teaching Hospital. A field where there are only few specialist in the country.
Also, this programme does not limit me to clinical practice alone. It would also equip me to become an health consultant for various organisations in increasing the awareness on the causes and prevention of stroke.

How did you know abt the skul?
It was during an extensive research on the internet trying to improve functions in my stroke patients that I came across an ongoing research at the BPL of UIC. I was intrigued by this research technique and I checked up on the school.

Why USA?
The USA is a trailblazer in the field of Neuro-rehabilitation most especially the concept of neuroplasticity. A masters degree in US will not only expose me to state of the art research laboratories but also an opportunity to be mentored under top researchers in this field.

Why are you leaving your present job?
My career goal has always to become a Neuro-rehabilitation specialist. Taking this golden opportunity will bring me a step further towards achieving my dream.

Who is sponsoring your trip?
My dad is my principal sponsor while my uncle has also volunteered to co-sponsor me.

Close your eyes and let us pray!
Lord help me to be nice, it won't be easy, just help me. Amen!
1) If Dr. Sand dies today, would you still attend this school? I am showing you something. Previously, VOs used to be mesmerized when you talk about being captivated by a professor's ongoing research or being thrilled by the prospects of being mentored by one.
Now the jazz no too dey work. Please I beg you, come up with a better reason. You can use this to support but don't start with this I beg you.
Your second reason sounds cool so we just need to give it a nice intro
Maybe you are passionate about neurorehabilitation for stroke survivors and fortunately, the MSc program at UIC stands out because of the multidisciplinary approach or something... I hope you get the picture.
Please you have to work on why this school, ok?
Next, why this course
Do you remember what your English teacher taught you about Topic sentence? Sometimes it could be at the beginning, the middle or the end.
Let me tell you, in a visa interview, your topic sentence must be at the BEGINNING!!!
So, why this course. Just hit it. You decided to pursue M.Sc in Rehab because... gbam gbam gbam. Then you can start telling stories if you meet a patient VO.
Moving forward, what will this course do for you
You have great ideas but you didn't make much impact because you have unnecessary words causing distractions.
"which would be brought to bear in delivering an evidenced based Rehabilitation service in other"
Before you mentioned to improve the stroke survivor kini, I already lost interest coz these unnecessary lines distracted me.
So why not tie your answers together, like the degree qualifies you for a position, and in that position, having already gotten the necessary skills, you would be able to attenuate premature death in stroke victims or something.
I pray you see what I am showing you please. Your answers should always reinforce each other.
If your dad's SOA can cover your cost, you really don't need to talk about your uncle. My opinion though.
Ok, I am really tired, I think I will stop here. I just didn't want you to feel ignored, that's not nice at all.
I wish you all the best my friend. Go get that visa!

sharwama:

I am really sorry you have to deal with this, I also know words may not really help right now. I just need you to be strong. Let your PD know the other person has been unresponsive and probably seek his/her counsel.
I believe you will get through this, you have fought so hard to get here and I am rooting for you, always.

mzhorlah:

CptCharlesVane:
@Tella26 better to ask for a TOEFL waiver than to submit that atrocious score. Retake the exam, it might be useful for assistantships.

@Kevwemanuel Yes is the answer to all the questions except no. 3, which is No. For 6. your application won't be considered complete until you submit your GRE scores though. Some may accept unofficial scores for the GRE until your offer comes.

7. Check the GRE thread for more information.

Sosao:
Thanks guys for your concern

I was about to contact someone who helped me in getting an extension.

I have a little more time ...I hope the visa gets issue before then.

BIMestBabe:

I'll advice you focus more on your GRE for now. Put all your energy into it, it matters a lot!! You finished from OAU, so did I, so in that case you might not even end up using your TOEFL scores. because TOEFL is waived for OAU by most schools in US. So pleaseee focus on your GRE if you can score 310 and above na funding go dey chase you
All the best

Hello Folks!
Please for those airlines whose tickets will say check-in baggage not included, do they charge when someone is flying with a carry-on backpack with documents and a laptop in it?

flukaa:
Good evening all, I was denied a visa at the embassy on 8th of July, planning to go again this August in Abuja. I got married on the 20th of July. I hope my change of marital status won't affect my chances of getting an approval? (desperation). Note: going for my 4th attempt..people in the house please help. I am about to submit my Ds160, should I maintain my previous status? Gurus in the house!! @Sharwama @Brown2green

solihp:

victree007:

Thanks ma'am.

fairheart:
Congrats to those who are recently approved.

I get one small advice for those of you on GA, GTA, GRA and undergrads with full-ride scholarship. I will drop it as soon as I settle down. It will definitely help those of you who wish to get your *** after graduation. I believe it is worth sharing, and as no advice is useless.

I have sent the GRE materials to all who asked.

LagosismyHome:


although its cheaper it might not be a good idea to travel with tickets that are "check in baggage not included"... Those are for people going for very short trips, as you cant do any liquid , not even toothpaste and the luggage allowance is really small .

As a new student dont you want to travel with clothes and your personal things? ..........Instead of getting to the US and then buying everything all over again

TheNoble007:

My former German bro lol, check your mail...

victree007:

Thanks for your input ma'am. Actually I am taking off from Germany and sending my personal stuff ahead through DHL (which appears to be way cheaper), that's why I want to know if I can hold with me, a carry-on backpack. Liquid items and other orishirishi that I brought from Nigeria aff finish since.

LagosismyHome:


ok then you can carry a small luggage (check the size on the airline website) and also a backpack so i think two bags are fine.... Just that you dont check in anything and all liquids are off . Some liquids are allowed but in small sizes and put in the transparent bag

victree007:

Okay I will do as advised. Dankeschön meine Schwester

Brown2Green:
