He probably took gre cos he also started applying for masters.m

dreambound:
Transfer is diff from freshman bro..and some schools take just one from SAT and TOEFL for international freshmen and transfer.

Trinity college and some others are test optional for all students.. except international students that don't have English backgrounds. Those few don't require test scores..

olasijiayo:
hello guys ! good afternoon, i've been a silent reader of this forum and ive read many of the transcripts here, however most of them do not fit my own case, i will like specific advisory for what direction I should be prepared for a visa interview being admitted as a credit transfer student in Energy economics, University of central oklahoma, graduated with a B.Sc in geology, December 2016, finished NYSC in 2018, wrote GRE (311)and TOEFL(94) couldnt secure a masters admission from university of oklahoma in energy economoics last year , then reapplied for credit transfer (more like direct entry here in Nigeria), and secured admission for fall 2019. ive paid half my tution, and i have funding for the full fees available in my father's SOA,
PS: im applying for only oklahoma schools because i have family there, which reduces many costs

sharwama:

dreambound:
Yes. Or am I too knowledgeable to be?

Now I've exposed myself
All those calling me Sir in my pm would no longer do so.

dreambound:

All praises to the most high God. My visa was approved today.

Degree: M.Sc
University: Eastern Illinois University
Course: Biological Science (One Year Program)
No funding
Deficit 25,625

Lagos Consulate

Q: What course will you be studying
Ans: Biological Science with concentration on Environmental Biology.

V.O: Why are you studying Biology
I studied marine biology but then I decided on this M.Sc choice when I had a short internship with Nigerian institute of oceanography and marine research, through this period,we were conducting marine mammal observation and due to seismic exploration that was going on, there was lots of pollution, it was at this point I draw interest in water quality and ecotoxicolgy, also I really want to work as a marine environment specialist, a job that requires at least a master’s degree in biology or a related field.

V.O: I see you have a b1/b2 that recently expired,tell me about your trip.
Told him I traveled after my B.Sc for vacation,I attended a convention and went on to visit my aunt and uncle,I mentioned I was in Illinois and New York.

V.O: What other schools did you apply to?
Minnesota State University and University it Surrey in England.

V.O: Why did you choose this school
I was mostly interested in their environmental biology course work than the other schools I applied to, they offer courses in bioenergy and bioresources, also they have practical study sites for research on aquatic ecosystems which personally caught my interest and again Dr Charles who’ll be lie my program advisor has an ongoing research in aquatic ecology with emphasis on lake restoration and the use of algae as biological monitors of pollution which directly aligns with my research interest.


V.O: Are you married?
No

V.O:Do you have kids?
No

V.O: Did you write exams.
Yes,I took IELTS.

VO: Are you married? Sorry I asked earlier.

V.O: Who’s paying your tuition
My father

V.O: What does he do?
I told him

Your visa is approved, pick up your passport blah blah blah

Notes:
All the questions weren’t asked in that order but I think I’m fairly correct. He took long typing breaks almost after every question.

SOA wasn’t requested and I wasn’t placed on Administrative processing.

Student’s funds on my I-20 is larger than my deficit, the school wrote the total funds in my dad’s account as funds from Father. So people who have the same issue don’t have much to worry about.

Thanks to Time2Win and Brown2green for mock interviews and to everyone else on the platform adding valuable content. Cheers.

dheee:
Fairheart keep calm, your dreams are still valid!
Visa approved this morning 6:30am. Zero funding, no AP and SOA wasn’t all that rich. Would post my transcript once I am settled.

lol, Hope u didn't take it, na 10yrs ban ooo.

sharwama:
TO WHOM IT MAY NEVER CONCERN
I'm crying and smiling right now and I don't know why. I hate being an empath. I have absorbed so much feelings tonight on this thread.
If you follow my posts, you'd realize I have always considered myself a Jon Snow on this thread, I know nothing. I often advised as an apprentice while waiting for the masters to give a better response.
I have never argued or fought with anyone on this thread. I have had to keep quiet over certain things that didn't please me. One of them has to do with demanding money for mock interview, transcript review and even writing of SOP (via pm of course)
I have reviewed over 80 transcripts in my mail, dem no dey gree me rest, na dem dey rush me ooo
But I have never charged anyone for that, I actually enjoy reading transcripts, e dey sweet me like Alomo bitters
I used to run away from conducting mock interviews because I thought I was neither good enough nor qualified. So I kept redirecting people on this platform to people I believed were more capable than myself.
Unfortunately, some persons would come back with "one person charged me a big sum of money, please just do the mock anyhow you can"
I didn't want to argue with them, I couldn't convince them to open up and be brave enough to reveal the name of anyone who charged them, I guess they knew once there's evidence, Sharwama must talk, she is so free. Sharwama is a drama queen, she will break this table. I guess they didn't like the spotlight
So I started doing "unprofessional" mock for our people As in mock interview that has no NAFDAC registration number
I bought a new sim card, created a WhatsApp account and I have dedicated and consecrated that sim card to NL until I travel to Tennessee( we will find a way)
I don't have much time but I do what I can for whoever I can, whenever I can and it gives me unquantifiable joy!
Some of you read my diary of gratitude, I wouldn't be where I am now if Texrem had asked me for money before helping me. What he did for me, what he is still doing for me, when I think about everything, I'm like " how did I get so lucky"
Let me make it clear tonight, the accused and persecuted "might" have actually charged "some' individuals who sought "his help" but I promise you, he is not the only one. Yes I wrote that. One down, some more to go!
There are people here who charge exorbitant fees even for writing statement of purpose, giving fake assurance that their "professional SOP" will foster automatic admission. Oh puhleeze my muse is becoming too strong. Sharwama calm down, easy, easy, take it easy!
When breeze blow, las las fowl pink yansh go open.
Please be brave enough to call out anyone from this platform that exhibits the character of an "agent". This thread was created to teach you how to do it yourself so you won't fall prey to agents!
If people want to help you, they will. No, it is not your right to be helped(so don't demand it!) Ask nicely, some people just love to help.
However, if someone puts a price tag on it, it ceases to be help. It is business! If I charge 40k to modify your transcript, please come here and post it "gods of NL, Sharwama asked me to pay 40k before she will help me ooo" and you better have screenshot or audio to back up your claim before roasted thunder from Okija shrine will locate you
Ultimately, no matter what happens, through the rain and stormy weather, we are family. We rise by lifting others, we are in this together. Should I also add, we are stuck with each other
Our people that have interview this week, please forget about this Africa magic we are doing here
Focus and go and bring visa biko. I want to dance atilogu this week on top your success
May the force be with you!

texrem:
I replied everybody. I didn't see yours!
