Hello... Please, I am going in for my interview in a week. Can I get some people who will be willing to offer mock interviews?
Thanks

Greetings and pass me your passport and i20
VO: Why are you going to the US?
Me: I'm going for my masters degree in Electrical and electronics engineering at the southern Illinois university in edwardsville, and I chose this school because it's one of the best schools in the Midwestern region of the United States in Electrical Engineering according to usnews.com and forbes.com, and most of the professors in the department are Ivy League trained which is synonymous to having an Ivy League education at a cheaper rate, like professor Tim York of the department who won the 2016 IEEE award of the year for his research paper on "Polarization on image sensoring" and they also have excellent research laboratories and facilities that'll aid in the advancement of my career in this field so that when I come back to the country I can be able to put my skills to work in the power sector of the country as power is one of the major issues we're facing in the country I'd like to come back and contribute my quota to the improvement and development of the sector. (P.S: I said every word)

VO: Where did you learn about all these you just said?
Me: I went online to know more about the school because the last time I came I couldn't explain my situation very well.

I'm no visa expert but in my opinion, this your response seems like "la cram, la pour". Too much information really, it seems as though you wanted to "bamboozle" or "over-impress" the VO really.

Then at the bolded, seems a bit too forward really. I think the next time, you should be concise and stick to the questions asked. #my 2cents

In my opinion, your response are superb. Until you told her all your fine responses are simply memorised answers copied from "online".
Also, you're not working. NYSC ppa is not a job, but you claimed that's where you've worked in your DS-160 form and then contradicted yourself in the interview.

Bro he/she just asked you why are you going to the US and you said all that?? cmon.. that's one long epistle to digest.. you could have made it short and concise. everything other was perfect except the first answer it shows that you actually crammed it - to me tho..
and also I think you answered the usual second question which is - Why southern Illinois university in Edwardsville?

I stand to be corrected
