Travel / Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 13 by bushlance(m): 10:53am On Jan 11, 2018 |
So I had my second interview yesterday. I had already posted the first during which I wasn't confident enough to present my case. So this is the 2nd: V.O : Good morning Me: Good morning ma'am (with a smile ) V.O: Why are you going to the US? Me: I am going for my masters in Prjt Mangmt at Morgan state University Baltimore. V.O : Why are you switching from Geology? Me: Project Management will give me a right platform to grow in my career. I have taken on many project management projects in my organisation even gotten an award as a best project management team member on a Chevron Project but because I don't a degree in Project Management, Jobs are not assigned to me. Also my organisation has stated in my study leave that on my return with this dregree from Morgan I will be qualified to apply for a promotion. Project Management will not limit me to my Organisation as I intend to move to other industries on my return to Nigeria, gather experince and set up my own project management firm here in Nigeria. V.O : (She looked really impressed) Why did you choose Morgan ? Me: Morgan offers an interdisciplinary project Management course. The program is board. And Ideal for my plans. I was excited by the thought that I will study scope management and integration. That is my major area of interest because Scope creeping is a major problem in the Nigerian project management field. V.O: How did you hear about this school? Me: It was initially recommended by my boss during my NYSC so when I decided to go for my Masters in the US I researched using Peterson's guide and College board. I found out... (She cut me short) V.O: What was your highest degree on ? Me: I have a Bachelor of Technology in Geology. (She nodded ) V.O: So that is why you want you want to leave I.T? Me: No GIS (Geographical Information System) not IT. (My current job) GIS is a part Geology and GIS exposed me the experince I have acquired in Project Management so It is in line with my career plan. V.O: (Starts typing.) Sorry pls hold on. Types for over 5mins. (At this point I was feeling good) V.O: Who is paying? Me: My uncle. V.O: What does he do? Me: He is a civil engineer and also owns a real estate firm. V.O: Buys and sells houses? Me: No. He buys lands and develops. Build and sells. V.O Nods) Why is he sponsoring you. Me: My mom trained him so this I like a pay back (Smiling) V.O: Nods. (Starts typing) Me: was waiting for my white paper. Lol. V.O: types for like 2 mins. V.O: Did you write any standardised test ? Me: Actually I was meant to. I had prepared to but on contacting the school I was informed that it was waived for me. I believe it was due to my work experince and the professional certifications I have bagged in Project management over the years. V.O: Starts typing. But it is clearly stated here on Morgan's website that you need GRE. Me: Yes but the departments have their own requirements for each cousre. V.O: Why would they have their requirement when it is stated on the site? Me: That on the site is General but they have theirs based on the individual programs. V.O : I am sorry you are blablabla. Me: I still couldn't believe it. I have written the school explaining my situation and they chair has replied promising to give me a letter to the embassy to prove that I didn't need the standardised exams. DO I REAPPLY & PRESENT THE LETTER? I AM CONFUSED. PLEASE GUYS KINDLY CRITICISE & ADVICE. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

whandeykoal:You need to send your transcript to ECE or WEs for evaluation. Those are the agencies used by Morgan. And it should be sent before admission is offered 1 Like 1 Share |
