before i slept i put my alarm to wake me by 4:00am so i can pray and rehearse a little with my friend.i woke up 1:00am i slept back and to my surprise i woke up around 5:01.i was like ye! dem won get me today o baba god.left house 5:30 when in the bus there was a hold up which make me almost got angry but my friend calm me that i should relax.got to embassy 6:00.

Vo:who is sponsoring you
me: i said my dad

Vo:what does he do
me:he his a chattered accountant and he works with lagos state ministry of finance and he is also into real estate investment

vo:when did you finish high sch
me:i said 2010

vo:what have you been doing
me:i did my ND from 2012-2014,did my IT in an engineering firm which i was suppose to stop by 2015 but i was retained and that where i work till now.

vo:how many schools
me:3 then i name them(university of central oklahoma,cleveland state university and of course southwest minnesota state university that am going to)

vo:why did you choose this sch
me:: i was fascinated by the ongoing research in the mathematic department more than the others , since that is the area i will specialize in, i got interested and applied.I saw papers regarding Applied Mathematics that covers a wide range of topics in mathematical physics and mathematical modelling. I also seen research on Pure Mathematics involving geometric, analytic and algebraic methods in group theory……. Since I am undergrad some of the Content are advance but its good to know these research are done in the school which will be useful to me when I get there

vo:what do you intend to do with this course
me:i intend to work as a data analyst in a telecom company due to rapid increase in number of mobile phone users in nigeria.my skills and experience will be of high demand in helping in analysing sales report and doing market research so the company can become more productive and make better business decision.

vo:what are you doing now
me:i work at engineering firm where i service air condition,generator and refridgerator

Vo:so have you tried to apply to a university in nigeria
me: was not sure if i said yes or no but i remember saying there is too much strike in nigeria school and the school curriculum is not good that they focus on theory unlike us schools that has a good curriculum and international degree from us would give me edge over other when i apply for jobs in nigeria(was not expecting this question so my reply was not smooth i lost balance for here).

vo:she was saying something you will need this bla bla bla
me:for my mind i was like olorun pls dont let me receive this blue paper again

then she hand over the paper and said i can pick up by thursday
was so happy my file and passport photo fell down had to pick it up fast.

Bethlehem08:
My visa was approved on tuesday.I'm really very sorry for posting this late transcript. While i was celebrating the victory i broke my phone screen.I had to fix it first so i could be able to access nairaland as i didnt even remember my p/w.
The grace of the almighty God was at work in my life that fateful day. I have been following nairaland since february. I started reading from thread6 and when it was time to start my application,there was no need to start asking any questions as i have gained alot.

Fastforward to the day of my interview. I did all the necessary stuffs,biometrics and all. I was on the queue and i heard STEP FORWARD PLS. There was this particular VO that was on a denying streak that day. He didnt waste any time at all and was very quick to say sorry your visa has been denied.He denied the young girl before me even as her mum talked and talked to convince the VO. He beckoned and i stepped forward.

V.O Good Morning

Me Good afternoon sir

V.O Oh! that's true. Good afternoon

V.O Ok now. Just tell me your name,when u finished high school,your plans,where you're going,your course and evrything i need to know
just keep talking.

Me *at this point my confidence level dropped drastically cos i wasnt expecting all those questions at a stretch* My name is bleep.I finished my high school in 2003. I did a year diploma program in computer studies at the computer science dept of OAU. Between 2006-2008 i went to the maritime academy of nigeria for a two year diploma program in nautical science. I embarked on an Industrial training for a year at a shipping company. After the IT i started working with them as a full staff. I Will be going for a Bsc program in computer science at the university of minessota *Mind u, my voice was shaking all thru and i was stuttering. I lost my composure and had already given up*

V.O How long have u been working.

Me Five years as an assistant database administrator *he shook his head and gave me a stern look*

V.O Who's going to pay for your education.

Me My dad. i come tell am wetin my papa dey do.

V.O Congrats. your visa has been approved *at this point i became deaf* i grabbed the white paper and dashed out.

I didnt believe it.it was like a dream.while i was on the BRT i kept checking my bag if it was the blue paper cos i knew there was nothing i said or did that impressed the VO. God just favored me. He didnt ask about the school,course or if i wrote any standardized test(i wrote only TOEFL tho). I thought my age would be a red flag as i'm 29yrs old.

There was a time someone here said nigerians always attribute their success to an invisible being. No vex brother, but some of us here dont trust in our own power. GOD IS REAL.
i surrendered everything to him and i was not put to shame.
WHY NOT TRY GOD

congrats bro...more grace of God to speak for you in Jesus name.. Am encourage

Schooling abroad is very expensive especially if you dont have funding.... Its limiting to get funding as a transfer student . Have you explored the option of transferring into a Nigerian UNI or completing to HND level . That way , perhaps you can work very hard towards finishing with a good grades at HND or BSC in Nigeria, then getting good GRE which can help toward funding for Masters........

There needs to be a deep thought process why you want to school abroad and why not Nigeria first. I dont know ur bank account Ability but i say that from a funding or scholarship perspective that CGPA is not great . Although its probably not converted yet to the US standard .

Thanks.
I av a backup for my schooling abroad...And reason is because i want to focus and concentrate on Networking that is were my aid rely..And there is enough facilities there to help my aim and career..

Am ready..am just planning for spring addimission.

Respect ma

LagosismyHome:
As an OND holder you can either start again and apply for an undergrad or Apply to school as a transfer student to enter 3rd and 4th year . As a transfer student , you have to have a good GPA from the OND

With only OND you cannot apply for a masters as OND is not equivalent to a BSC which is a mandatory requirement for a Masters. ..........I did not comment about this certificate in (C.C..N.A)networking because i have no knowledge about it . Probably wont add any value to this particular discussion as certification is more needed in a work situation not school

Thanks sir..how can I start with transfer.. to start from again is not the issue..My age is just my concern..cos av read it that age ssomeime affect people..

Can I you bro..send me ur contact details for more info
