Hello everyone, my bro just go this information from utah valley state university..Does this mean he will be admitted?.

SeyiMiilan:
please state this in the SOP, you can also explain what he has been from 2012 till now so the 'purpose of visit' can be clarified. in his sop, he can talk about his aspiration to be so so and so and he is focused on achieving that even if it might take time. All the best @Emmyirab

SeyiMiilan:
Hi there, if I may ask pls, what is your bro highest level of education? it is good you paid part of the school fees, you can use that to counter "purpose of visit". In your brother's SOP/LOE, you might have to explain what he intends to do after school. for the employment situation, your sponsor should state in a letter of introduction that he/she intends to sponsor your bro's education hence his unemployment. @Emmyirab

gbemiigbal:
Or another scenario
What if he has two letter of admissions for same university but different faculty, can he transfer the paid tuition to another faculty? Will there be a full refund?

Chimumsy20:
Good afternoon house,

I applied for an undergraduate program in university of Winnipeg for my brother that just finished secondary school. Thankfully, he received his admission letter after 2 weeks. The tuition fee per year is stated as 8,650 Canadian dollar but he is not required to pay till he registers in Canada. He was given an option to pay 1000 tuition deposit. However, in case he doesn't study in the school, the deposit is not refundable.
What is his chances of applying for study permit without paying d deposit. cos am not in support of paying for the deposit and the application is refused, then we lose a whopping 1000 Canadian dollar.
Thanks for the help

Bro, nothing is impossible.


If you have lots of data and a working PC, search the web for US scholarships/waivers, you'll surely find one. Don't limit urself to america alone.


You can search Sweden, lativia and other schegen/EU countries....

NB: Canada and Germany is highly competitive

My friend's life is a testimony...he's in Idaho now was chasing chicks when he was applying

Still blaming myself, tho

josiahese:
I won't advice you to go to the Embassy too early enough... I have a friend who went 3 months to his program he was denied... He was confident he did well... But the second time was a discussion.
I feel when you come too early it could show you have normal doing here in Nigeria, VO DIFFERS
So I advice a least a month

Regards

Spring session starting in April ?.......please make sure it not a one man building school .

MackyNaija:
Just this evening, I saw the paper we Nigerians refer to as 'Kpali'.

It resembles an NYSC certificate with border designs of the dollar bill, a seal bottom left hand side with a golden emblem at the top middle.

Citizenship of my friend confirmed!
Better pepper chicken from Houston was used to 'wash am'.

Make I go look book, exam deh come.

Thanks for the help.
may curse be upon all northerners that had hand in boko haram . May it never be well with them and their yet to born generation. May they never know peace . Amen

Jamezy4u:
Good one!!!

Its also a test of rehearsed response. This people need you to be just you! fast and have ability to communicate.

You would have said,....I didnt chose other sch because they do not offer...a, b, c and ....but school xyz do

OGreene:
The focus has been on your school.
Check byu in gradcafe dot com and see what your department peeps are saying about it. Then you should know why you didnt pick the other schools.

Fenix:
Translation... I have already paid for another visa appointment...

AfonjaBoston:
Lol at "delayed" You meant denied/rejected?

Young man give it a break. Don't make it a do or die.
Keep yourself busy consciously and unconsciously with other meaningful things that are closely related to your career goals.

Aggression is not the same as determination.Invest those funds in something else and "refire" (did I just say that) lol maybe in a year

AfonjaBoston:
Naaaa bros its 10:15am .its called work computer.

How have you been doing with your "acting" interview prep sessions?

AfonjaBoston:
No weird, mischievous questions lately.
Very Nice!

AJANIEmmanuel78:
True talk man.... Emmy pls be strong and retire u are getting this time..... One thing I would say is be composed and be ready for unexpected questions not just the u rehears.. U understand.... All is well

imperiouxx:
Though I don't know what remark VOs leave on one's profile but may be yours is Q&A (competency), you should work more on Q&A techniques before trying again. Seems that's what they keep throwing at you and nailing you with.

Fenix:
I agree. I also would take a pause before reapplying. First, you've spent a LOT of money already...128k for two applications that were denied. Second, maybe it is just me but I feel as if, if they wanted to give you that visa, they would have given you. The fact that they kept asking you why schools in the mid-west and now why this school over other schools. It makes me believe they are not convinced of your application.

Although I'm surprised because BYU is a solid enough school.

Please think carefully. Perhaps you can defer to spring if possible.

imperiouxx:
In chemistry, a reversible rxn such as this:

A + B <------> C

is the same as

C <------> A + B

You should have flipped your answer and say what others don't offer that BYUI offers instead of what BYUI offers that others don't. He/She tested your ability to think through fast and give a concise answer the way he/she wants it.

LagosismyHome:
Please calm down before reapplying..... perseverance is good but u have to strike the balance between that and maybe waiting a while so you dont dash the embassy your hard earned money.

Only you can make that call but if you already gone twice recently .... think first on what the best approach

Ardedaryor:
So sorry about your delay bro,
i guess the VO went through your previous interview transcript, because of the much emphasis on Why school? Could observe the VO rephrased it twice, Instead of explaining reasons you choose Byu-i, I feel a reverse of that response would have sound interesting, something like :
it was a huge decision for me to make a choice after they all offered me admission, but I was interested in mechatronics,automotive and robotics which only BYUi offered that............................

If you can work on your response next trial is yours,
be strong man...

We only fail when we quit trying -- Unknown

Emmyirab:
Visa delayed again, Lagos embassy

Vo: Good morning
Me: Replied
Vo: what have you been doing since high school graduation?
Me: After graduation, I went for computer training, at computer gardens college, where I took.. (she cut me off. She didn't want me to give her details.) then after the computer training, I decided to get practical knowledge and experience before going to college. Then I started working in my dad's firm, I helped in... (she cut me off)
Vo: what does your dad do?
Me: He is the XXXX at XXXX and he also owns a mechanical firm.
Vo: okay good. How many schools admitted you apart from this one?
Me: 2, listed them
Vo: why didn't you go to the other schools
Me: then I tried explaining why i chose ByuI. i said of all the schools I applied to, they offered me a combination of mechatronics, automotive engineering and robotics.. (cuts in)
Vo: I mean, you applied to two other schools, why didn't you attend any of them instead.
Me: I tried explaining that ByuI offered me more.. (cuts in)
Vo: that wasn't my question.
Tried explaining again.. Then she gave me blue paper
