When it comes to UD, it's not always easy to find a school with scholarship as an applicant. You may get a scholarship after you must have enrolled and this sometimes, depends on your academic performance.
You can start by surfing the net and checking for schools that offer your course choice

What do you actually mean by "I haven't got a decision yet"? If this refers to an admission decision, then I think you may have to wait until the holidays are over to get that decision.

The outcome of that decision, and the time it arrives, should define what next steps you will be taking.

I believe you may have to wait to receive the notification to come and pick it up. It shouldn't be long before that comes.

BTW, when was your interview?

You have a lot of time bro. Start now to prepare for SAT .Register for March 2021 to use it to access yourself then you can register another in case you didnt get your target goal. Realistically, you will have to start application August this year as most colleges deadline for application is this night(schools with fin aid ). But if you have a lot of cash , you can try and apply HBCUs with rolling admission till march 1st. The problem,however, is that you will need SAT to get reasonable scholarship.So sit down, start planning towards applying August and do thorough research

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning sir,happy new year in advance.
VO: (smiles) Thanks
VO: where are u going to
me: Am going to idaho
VO: Why did u choose idaho state
Me: because that's the state my school is located
VO: is that y you choose the school?
Me: oh!there are lots of reasons y I chose the school (nods head,looks interested),apart from been given a 15k funding,
In terms of accreditation,out of the 4 schools I got admitted into the university of idaho has the highest accreditation a business school should have, which is the AACSB accreditation,its the association of advance collegiate school of business, this accreditation ensures that business school graduate learns from the best and are ready to perform at any time.

Having spoken to each representative of all university I got admitted into, professor Michael dorathey of the university of Idaho was the one the convinced me more on what I stand to get as an international student(nods head), like training opportunity,research opportunity,and some personal programs like critical thinking,that will help me to be a better person (cuts me off)

VO: do mean other schools aren't good enough?
Me: no, after my research on alll schools i find out that the university of Idaho suit my dreams best.

VO: Name the university you got admitted into
Me: Louisiana state university,park university,Murray state university, university of Idaho
VO: when did u graduate from high school
Me: 2015
VO: what have u been doing since then
Me: in 2015 I was 16 years then, the government of Nigeria impose a law on top university in Nigeria because of the. Security issues the country was facing as at then.
My father didn't want me to stay home for 2 years, he enrolled me in an ICT program, where I was thought computer programming and after then my father enrolled me in one of his automotive training center,where I have been.

So sorry about this bro. I know how it feels! I remember your interview, and how the VO was cutting you short more than once. But he seemed really interested in having conversations with applicants! While I cannot say exactly why the denial happened as I'm not a VO, I think some of your answers were not convincing enough.

From your transcript, you didn't mention anything about your intended program, how you chose it, why you chose it, and what it would do for you in future. I guess that's what the VO wanted to hear. By applying for a Visa, you are attempting to take a life-changing step into a new culture, new environment, new life, new friends, and new experiences; surely your motivation for taking the step must be MORE than the school's business program rating and $15k funding

If you consider reapplying in the near future, please work on these areas, and practice well. There are lots of gurus here you can reach out to for mock interviews. Read a lot of transcripts too, to have a feel of what works and what doesn't.

The gurus in the house will shed more light on the subject matter.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Going to live and study in a different country as a teenager, you are expected to assume a lot of responsibility for yourself. So try to show this in your answers by saying how you decided to enrol in IT trainings after high school because you couldn't get into a Nigerian University at 16. Leave off saying stuff like "my father did this, my father did that".

Also, give good reasons why you chose to study that program at that University in the US. You need to talk about how you prefer the course options for your major at Idaho, over those of the other schools. Since it's a business program, talk about how those courses suit your interests in building a career in private equity, investment management, consulting, finance, etc. The VO already knows the school is accredited, so unless it is a top 20 school, the ranking isn't very relevant at an interview. All the best at your next one!

I just wanted to confirm is it true if you are going to the US the first time as a student you need a return ticket .. or one way is okay as well..

Visa Approved
Date: 29th of Dec
Location: Abuja

First, I want to thank the almighty God for his divine favor and for completing this year with testimony for me, I don’t believe in miracles but now I do. I started this journey since May 2019 when I wrote my GRE for Fall 2020.
I scheduled an appointment with Lagos, got April 16th, applied for expediate but was denied. I heard on Nairaland that Abuja had released dates. I quickly filled another DS-160, scheduled another appointment with Abuja and picked December 28th. I later found out that it was a public holiday, and I mailed the embassy to reschedule my appointment, but they replied that they will open for business on that day. A week to my interview, I got a mail that my appointment has been rescheduled, I logged in and saw 29th of Dec. I was glad because some had theirs moved to 5th of Jan.
I heard about the infamous Black Man and I really didn’t want to be biased about who will be interviewing me, so I tried not to think about it. The interview was slated for 09:00am and I got there by 08:12. I had to print another DS-160 confirmation page for 3k and 1k for my phone to be kept.

Congratulations. Any reason why you printed another DS160 confirmation page. Guess you didn’t take it to embassy.
