Pls gurus i need answer to this question "is having a sister in the states who works for the military as your sponsor a red flag?"

jojoey:


How did you book another date? Did you pay another Mrv fee?

Nope

UAVdrones:
Wait for their email. They will reschedule you.

Please is it irrespective of the fact that I have booked for another date?

Good day all, pls for those that their 28th appointment at Abuja embassy was cancelled, are there still options for rescheduling and EA on your CGI portal after re-booking? I can't see any of them on my own..

Good evening all..... Please gurus in the house kindly help me review my transcript.
Any correction/ contribution will be highly appreciated.

PROPOSED TRANSCRIPT

*COA: $32K
FUNDING: $5
DEFICIT : $26K
COURSE : MSc Bioengineering /Biomedical engineering*


Vo: Where are you going/ Why are you going to the US?


Me: I going to pursue my MSc program in biomedical engineering with concentration in medical imaging at bleep university located at xyz.


Vo: Why this course?


Me: Currently there is high rate of equipment downtime in most hospitals with very considerable lack of professionals in the field . As a medical radiographer, working with these equipments had revealed this yawning gaps hence my interest in pursuing this graduate program.



Vo: Tell me about your study plans?

Me: The program will span for a period of 21months ( between 17th Aug 2021- 31st May 2023) during which I am expected to complete a total of 30 credit units out of which 18 units are for my core courses while the remaining 12 units shall be for the electives. And I will offering courses like biostatistics, biomedical polymers, biosensor and instrumentation, mechanical engineering analysis, tissue engineering, biomaterials, bioanalytics, medical imaging systems, advanced fluid mechanics amongst others.



Vo: How did You come about this school?


Me : The school was strongly recommended to me by my college professor who bagged in his PhD from the school and by a friend who's also an alumni of the school.



Vo: How many schools did you apply to?

Me: In all I applied to 4 schools viz; University of Michigan, George Mason University and University of southern California and in all I got 3 admits and 1 reject.


Vo: Why this particular school?

Me: Apart from affordability when compared to school that I applied to, bleep university has a cooperative and experiential educational program which integrates class room experience with the real world thereby giving me the opportunity to meet with experts and professionals in my field of study. Also while going through the faculty Webpage of the school, I found a graduate research opportunity in prof xyz research who's currently working on model-based mathematical strategies for the analysis of biomedical images who expressed keen interest in having me in his team after I had explained my career goals to him.
This will inturn provide with the advanced research skills needed for me to continue with the research work that I had already started with Dr bleep here in Nigeria which led to my interest of pursuing this graduate course.



Vo: What will this degree do for you?


Me: This degree will equip me the requisite research skills and knowledge needed for me tho thrive in this field and it will also put me in a better position to take up research roles upon my return to Nigeria in research institutes like institute of biomedical research, Nigerian institute of biotechnology and development agency among others and contribute my quota to the nation's building.


Vo: What's your plan after graduation/ What do u intend to do with this degree?

Me: Upon my return to Nigeria, I intend to continue with the research work that I was already involved in with Dr bleep that led to my desire in pursuing this graduate course. I also intend to become an independent consultant collaborating with research institutes and medical organisations in designing softwares to run complicated biomedical imaging equipments such as computed tomography ( CT) & Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines.



Vo: What's your undergraduate course?


Me: Medical Radiography & Radiological science.



Vo: Why the switch?

Me: It's not a switch per say, medical radiography which deals with the use of medical imaging equipments to diagnose diseases is a subspecialty in biomedical engineering where it goes beyond making diagnosis by the images produced by these machines to knowing the physics behind biomedical signal gathering, image formation, acquisition, modeling and quantification and also the engineering and technical aspect of these machines.


Vo: Did you write any test?

Me: No. However, I booked GRE and IELTS fortunately the dates for the exams fall within the first wave of the pandemic and as a result the the exams were postponed indefinitely. While I was waiting, I got admission from bleep university who waived the tests for me.

Vo: Who's sponsoring you?

Me: I was awarded the prestigious deans scholarship award of 30% off my tuition and the deficit will be taken care of by my elder sister who has been incharge of my education since my undergraduate.

Vo: What does she do?

Me: She's a cybersecurity engineer and works for the US military................

ebbie9ja:

Only that date was open..
I check 3 times max per day (morning, afternoon and evening).
Though the place of GRACE cannot be overemphasised.

richieboy1994:

Pls gurus in the house, i made a mistake on my ds 160 but i had corrected it and updated my profile.
