Vo Good morning
Me Good morning

Vo where are you going to

Me I'm going to Montana state university for my doctorate degree in computer science with concentration in AI and ML

Vo wait a bit (she types for like 3secs
Me (chill)

VO why did you choose this course

Me I'm a passionate lover of AI and I'll like to use it(she cuts Me)

VO pretend like am your friend, let it look like conversation rather than interview..

ME. (I was a bit calm and pick my lines again)
I'm a passionate lover of AI and I'll like to use it to build a ML algorithm for cancer diagnosis in Nigeria. I've been doing close research in my undergraduate where I build ML algorithm that can diagnose malaria and typhoid

VO How did you find this school

ME After I've made up my mind to pursue doctorate degree in compute science, I used educational website such as Usnews, gradcafe to search for school that offer PhD in computer science with concentration in computer science and I streamline them based to my research interest which is application of machine learning for medical diagnosis. Then I found Dr Veronika which she then set up zoom interview with me and recommended me for the admission

VO (great) why did you choose this school?

ME I chose MSU cos the research of my potential supervisor Dr veronika perfectly align with my research interest, also I was awarded a GTA that covers my tuition and Living expenses also the department of computer science allows interdisciplinary research with medical sciences department and this will be a huge boost to my research, also MSU is rank R1 which means they've higher research output, this will help me to achieve my long time goal of being a faculty

VO jdkeuejdtwhsb
ME you say?

VO fjfieuwjsbsjsbdv
ME can you come again?

VO tell me what you told Veronika during interview

ME I told her about my research experience and my academic(she cuts in)

VO Tell me exactly the way you told her

ME I told her what I did in my undergraduate which is application of machine learning algorithm for malaria and typhoid diagnosis, I got data from the(she cuts me)

VO (pretends like you forgot your speech and talk to me lime your friend)

ME (I regain my composure 100% and fire on) I used dataset such as blood sample, urine sample, body temperature and I used it with ML codes to diagnosis whether a patient has malaria or typhoid. I also told her I graduated with a GPA of 4.2/5 and I also have 323 in GRE

VO (that's great) is it 323/500

ME no it's 323/340


VO (good) it seems you've a tuition waiver

ME I was awarded a GTA that cover tuition and living expenses with zero deficit


VO Tell me about your research and what you intend to achieve with this degree

ME ( *By this time I already regain my composure and I want to impress her for the last time)* my mom died of cancer in 2009, so my research is to build a ML algorithm that is capable of diagnosing cancer, this research will help in two ways *1* it will help Nigeria in the area of scarcity of doctors *2* research has shows that people that got diagnose early has a higher chance of beating cancer than people diagnose at later stage. My second goal is to be a lecturer and nurture the young ones, I've been doing this since(she cut in)

VO (folds my I20 and sevis fee receipt) put this is in your carry on you'll need it when you're entering united state

ME I went deaf ASAP

She continue to say the normal routine of getting my visa in one or two day and passed me my white paper

I zoom out straight

wsday:

White VO
COA: $24,000

There were 2 VO's counter 8 and counter 9, the Asian guy and the other white guy i noticed the Asian guy first question was always have you travelled out of Nigeria before, once your answer is No, he asks any random question and rejects. I was praying from the gate till I met with my VO
The Asian guy called next it was supposed to be me but i dragged for like 5 seconds and the other white guy called next then i went to meet him.

TRANSCRIPT.
VO: Good Morning
ME: Good Morning
VO: You are going to study Engineering
ME: NO I'm going to study industrial and human factor Engineering.
VO: Okay
VO: So you are an Engineer
ME: Yes I am
VO: I see you have a scholarship how do you intend to cover the rest
ME: Ooh I have a 70% scholarship on my tuition, my aunt would be covering the rest ( praying in my mind that he doesn't know enough mathematics to calculate by looking)
VO: What does your aunt do
ME: Oooh she is a distributor for dangote cement
ME: I have her bank statement if you would like to view it
VO: That won't be necessary
VO: So what would this degree do for you
ME: Oooh my Company is going through a transition phase where we are moving from a crude oil based approach to a gas and renewable energy approach this transition is opening up positions for mid-level management with my experience and this degree i would be positioned to fill one of these openings.
VO: Okay
VO: Keeps typing picks up the white paper and gives me says this white paper would tell you all you need to know about picking up your passport
ME: Thank you very much.

P.S i noticed that a lot of guys dress poorly, if you are going for academics and you claim to have been working please dress the path dry-clean your clothes and look smart also make your stories as short as possible my interview was about 2minutes /b] [b]and pray non-stop God bless everyone

kpukpuyenke:

Thanks so much with your response

My brother it wasn't funny at all.
I had to bombard Wes with messages and send them the correct email address of the school Just in case they did a mistake in the email they sent the verification to they should please send it to the "real" one.

kpukpuyenke:
