Hello.
Whats d timeline since you completed High school?
No tell VO say u not sure about your plans after Grad. school. remove tha line.
Hope you took SAT tho?
Find words to checkmate this likely Question : Why are you going to the US for Degree when it is relatively affordable here in Nigeria.

Thank you so much.
I graduated in 2017, I tried unilag same year, wrote jamb all of that didn't get In. Then I started Sat and toefl classes in 2018.
yes I took the SAT and TOEFL. 1330 and 109 respectively.
oh I didn't say I wasn't sure. I said I wasn't sure if I'd go to grad school (for Masters in Biology ) or medical school but that thereafter I'll come back to work in Nigeria.

My opinion:
1. you should change the 'I was advised to apply to Mcneese' to I heard abt Mcneese during my SAT ... and researched....
2. expatiate on how their entry requirements matched your profile
3. Your need to think of a more convincing response to the question: why Mcneese and also Why biology.
4. I HOPE YOU HAVE A STRONG RESPONSE FOR THE QUESTION: Why Not Nigeria.
5. What career in the medical field do you want to pursue after this degree in biology and why are you not just doing it in Nigeria (because unlike in the USA, you don't need a first degree/ bachelors degree to get admission into medical field oriented courses).
6. You should not say I am not yet sure of my plans. (and remember the medical school is also a grad school in the USA).
7. What aspect of the health sector in Nigeria do you really want to improve? And expatiate on this first hand experience.
When did you graduate from Secondary school? If there has been gap years since then, what have you been doing to boost you academically?

Wow, okay. Thank you very much.
I'll take this into consideration.

Hello everyone, please I need your opinion on my proposed transcript.
Me: Good morning
VO: Good morning, pass me your i20 and passport.
*passed*
VO: why are you going to the US?
Me: I'm going for my bachelors degree in Biology at Mcneese state university.
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
Me: I applied to six in total: Mcneese state, Alcorn State, Fisk, Missississpi valley state, Bethany and Berea colleges. I got into all except Berea college.
VO: How did you learn about Mcneese.
Me: I was adviced to apply to Mcneese during my SAT lessons so I went on to research more about it and their entry requirements matched my profile.
VO: why Mcneese?
Me: Mcneese had all I was looking for in terms of class sizes, faculty to student ratio, plus the curriculum for my course was really quite favourable as they matched some of the subjects I took back in secondary school. One thing that stood out about Mcneese was the fact that they displayed a genuine interest in me and they were ready to assist me throughout the whole frustrating process of applying for colleges. So it really feels like a school where I'd fit in.
VO: why Biology?
Me: I've always loved Biology because I've always been fascinated with Life. And because biology is a vast subject, I get to learn about living things and how we interact with our ecosystems, micro organisms and how they affect us and other really important aspects of biology that address global issues. Also, I want a career in the health sector so Biology really is a subject that captures all my interests and still enables me to pursue a career in the medical fields.
VO: what are your plans after graduation?
Me: I'm not sure yet but I'll either attend med school or grad school and thereafter come back to work in my country. I hope to help improve the health sector in my country because I've experienced firsthand how poor the health sector is. I also plan to work with international organisations especially those that focus more on women and children in Africa. As Africa still holds the highest mortality rate for women and children.
VO: who is sponsoring you and what do they do?
Me: My dad is sponsoring me, he is a business man and he imports clothes from xyz and sells wholesale and retail.

Thank you.
It's a bit lengthy and I'll appreciate your opinions on ways to make it better.
