Vo: Name them
Troy University and Bedmindji state university gave me admission

university is still pending.
Vo: Why is your application pending at Ankarsas state university
Me: while I submitted my application , my passport got expired and the school
had to pend my application until I got a new passport , since I already got
admission from two schools and of which the best among them has given me
admission , I didn’t follow up with the admission from Arkansas state university.
Vo: why did you selected troy university? Out of those school applied
Me: I choose Troy university over others because it has very good major in health
service, the school is ranked the best from award winning academic opportunities
to exciting division I athletics events. Troy university will provide me with top
notch learning opportunities both in class and online, and the only school out of
the three that provide me with a double major in health and physical education.
Vo: which program are you going for?
Me I’m going for Bachelor degree in health service/sciences, major in health and
physical education as a double major as one of the reason for selecting Troy
university as this double major is not available in most universities throughout the
state and southeast. And this program will provide me with dual certification in
physical education and health education unlike others with only one degree.
Vo: why physical and health education?
Me: I chose to study this course because this program has comprehensive
curriculum that includes hand-on laboratory courses, on-site rehabilitation
experience that will enhance my skills and my passion of helping people to prevent
and cure cardiopulmonary diseases such as hypertension, hypotension,
arrhythmia, e.t.c, through exercise prescription and cardiopulmonary
rehabilitation, so people can live a healthy active lifestyle.
Vo: Tell me about your study plan
Me: I am going to Troy University to pursue my first degree in Health Services
with conc in Physical and health education double major . Its a 5years
program,127credit hour major. And will be taking 9credits for each semester and
18credit hour minor in applied health.

2240-personal and community health, khp 3352- kinesiology and efficiency of
human ,khp 4462-physical education for exceptional children.etc
Vo:what will you do with this degree..
Me:I would be establishing a non governmental rehabilitation center in my country
where people will be able to get help on their various health issue with
prescription of exercise.
Vo:what do health educator do?
Me: They instruct and train students on the principle of fitness and health, assist
with cardiovascular workout , strength training and stretching. they demonstrate
proper technique and explaining the value of particular movement.
Vo: what do you do?
Me: I work with Lagos State University as a Printing machine operator
VO: Whats the relationship btw your current job and your program
Me: To be candid, my current job has no relationship to my intended program but I have
previously worked with Lagos state university gym center that was where I got
motivated into this program and gym is what I do every day , atleast five days in a
week, so its something I really enjoy doing.
VO: why going for this undergraduate program at this age of yours?
Me: I believe that knowledge has no age boundary, there’s no age that
is too old to start a career that one enjoy doing, knowledge is very important to
human life, we need to seek knowledge until we dies, so, to me , this is the best time
to start this career.
Vo: when did you finish your high school
Me: year 2002.
Vo; What have you been doing since that time?
Me: after my high school education, I worked with Lagos state university gym
center as a fitness officer, training and assisting clients with their fitness exercise
until 2008, when I got another offer with LASU as printing –officer in the year
2009, I am now the chief-printer at LASU.
Vo: Did you write any test?
Me: No, my course did not require any specialized test
Vo: what about English proficiency test
Me: I believe that English is better taught in a Country where it is their first language.
The fact is that the curriculum of ESL(English as a Second Language) in America
is second to none. I wish to study ESL in America so as to enable me understand
how English is used there .this will turn me into a communicator that I will love to
be , a competent user of English.
VO: have you been deny USA visa before?
Me: yes, I was deny a tourist visa in the year 2018.
Vo: who is sponsoring u and what does he do

I got approved today 9th November.
Abuja Embassy
First Attempt, no travel history.
School: Georgia State University
Course: French Studies
Funding:$36,140 (full tuition waiver + GTA)
Deficit: $15, 603.

V.O : Good morning.
Me: Good morning.
V.O: I see you're to Georgia State University to study French Language.
Me: Yes.
V.O: And I see you have a Graduate assistanship?
Me: Yes.
V.O: You have a deficit. Who's going to pay for it?
Me: My uncle. He is a pharmacist.
V.O: What will this course do for you?
Me: I will come back to my organisation (mentioned it) where I will seek to move to the Academy being built by ECOWAS to lecture. I was a French Facilitator at one of our training schools before being deployed to Abuja. (I can't remember if I said all this or it was in my head, but I already planned on saying it. So, I guess it came out fine).
V.O: So, you're saying that you will come to work with ECOWAS Academy, right?
Me: No. Migration Academy being built by ECOWAS.
V.O: Okay.
She typed for a while, maybe 30 seconds and then reached out for the white paper.
V.O: shd7dunxokjyyfghjj I-20 hdieijks safe js7eiejnznsj Corona virus djdururjzozxxbbt. I didn't hear anything except these few words. I was just nodding and smiling.

All praise to God because the sequence of questions were not followed, she was answering the questions she was supposed to ask me. Questions like why the US and not France I was expecting was not asked. I give God all the praise. I've been on this journey since last year. I got this admission for Summer 2021 but deferred to Spring 2022. I'm so glad to have a Graduate Coordinator who is understanding. She assured me my funding will be intact and that I can defer.
Thanks to you all that has been helping with tips, encouragement and transcripts. God bless you all.
If you believe in God, hold him tight, tell him what you want and stand on it. I nearly lost faith with all the denials here but I started speaking scriptures to myself. God is good don't put him aside. God bless you all.

Please I would like to apply for study visa in France can anyone help me with schools I should look out for and break down of things..please

I applied to three schools but I didn’t complete my application in two schools amongst the three because the two required transcript evaluation and I thought it will take time so I left my application.is it a red flag to say I applied to one school ?...Although the school that gave me admission gave me 50% tuition scholarship and it’s not a top ranking school

Hamiltonnikan:

Please I would like to apply for study visa in France can anyone help me with schools I should look out for and break down of things..please
Hello Hamiltonnikan. I suggest you visit Campus France website, or if you're in Lagos or Abuja visit Alliance Française, Lagos or Institut Français in Abuja and let them guide you. Admission into French Universities are now through CampusFrance; you cannot apply directly to them. Their services are not free, so check out their website and prepare before visiting.
I think there's a thread for France student visa. Try and search the travel section. Goodluck!

After the western union, you might have to send an email with a scanned copy of your receipt as it would be the person's name that would show on the western union transfer.
