tell the first school that when they've finished using the transcript they should send to the other school

I know this has been said before. But it worked out for me. To those looking to book tickets, best time to check is at night/ midnight. I just got a ticket for 320k. My flight is on Saturday. Other airlines had tickets for over 500k for Saturday. I picked up my passport today. Its a very stupid airline. Royal Air Maroc. I heard they don't even provide hotel accommodation. But with the extra money you would be saving on other tickets, I think it's worth it. To those looking for tickets, keep checking at night. I would be spending a few days in New York with my friends before flying to Dallas. If anyone else would be on that flight Saturday Morning, please send me a DM. Misery loves company �. And this is going to be one miserable long flight. I packed a couple of good books to read. Including Dan Brown's Origin���. I can share if you are pretty.

I'm heading that way too but different airline.

LegitBachelor:
Ok. Cdenc take note.

How about that of Egypt Air?

Egypt air is fairly ok. 348K

LegitBachelor:
Egypt air is ₦266,131 on the 14th of January which could go as low as ₦219,185 on the 22nd. Go to their website to confirm. You can also confirm that of Emirates on their website.

Emirates is over 470 one way

What local food items are and not permitted? This is for the information of all spring 2018 admits.

cdenc:
You can get emirates for N260260 on 14th but if you wait till 17th you can get N207999 on same flight.
N. B Thats the direct fee,whoever gives you a quote you can decide what you want to add for his services

Are you sure about this?

Now that you have done the right thing, this post might be helpful to you .

Lol. Thanks for the drill and response. It was helpful

Hello everyone!
Kudos for all the good works you all are doing here. I’ve been following this thread for a while and I want to say I appreciate all your efforts/contributions. It’s been really helpful. Thanks to Walspring, Big Francais, Lagosismyhome to mention a few.

I thought people exaggerate denials here but I realized that it was true as we were four on the queue. I was the last. The first guy got approval while the other two between us got denied. To be candid, those guys were not eloquent, audible and well prepared. My opinion though.
VISA APPROVED! I was interviewed by a white lady in Window5. I just collected my passport on Wednesday. I have been very busy with work and the whole visa thing. Please pardon me.

VO didn’t ask many questions as expected. I smiled all through, kept on talking with confidence that she couldn’t even cut in. She was nodding, smiling and typing at the same time. I did not give her the chance to cut in.

Please see below transcript.
VO: Good morning and how was your night?
ME: Good morning! Awesome and how was yours?*with a bright smile*
VO: Pass me your I-20 and passport. What did you study in your undergraduate?
ME: I studied Electrical/Electronics Engineering from the department of Computer and Electrical department with specialization in telecommunications
VO: What was your undergraduate project about?
ME: Biometrics attendance management system using VB
VO: What will this degree do for you?
ME: This master’s degree will give me the knowledge and skills that I need to work with the for professional growth in managing operations and organizations in the global market by creating a unique blend of state-of-the-art engineering methodologies with key components like finance, marketing, and management theory. It will equip me with the technical know-how which is needed to excel in my field, which i will in turn use for the industrial development of my Nigeria, it will also help turn around the fortune of any company I work with which will equate promotion and higher salary
VO: Where do you work?
ME: Told her. I also told her that I was the youngest engineer working on a module on *** project
VO: Really!
ME: Yes! I also double as a business analyst.
VO: Wow! That’s good. What is that project?
ME: It’s an FPSO ** She smiled* and told me to give her a few seconds
VO: What are your duties?
ME: Told her
VO: How many schools did you apply to?
ME: well for complete application, I applied to four namely Indiana Institute of Technology, University of South Florida and International Technological University, Michigan tech university but my application to San Jose was discontinued because of delay by WES in evaluating my transcript. I had no control over the delay. However, I have been informed by the graduate admissions and programs evaluation that this would be considered in the next admission window since they have my transcript now. That is no longer needed because this is now the preferred
VO: Smiles**Why this school?
ME: I chose this school because the curriculum matches that of my career interests. I am particularly interested in the research area by one of my would-be professor who is into simulation modeling of production systems and business operations. This area happens to be related to the new role i have been given in my new place of work, so I look forward to working with him. I also have a scholarship from this school. Second of all, I was impressed with their timely response to inquiries. I also had a good relationship with my program advisor. She was really helpful. Thirdly, The University’s host city has been ranked among the safest College towns in the United States. The University’s sworn police force provides protection 24 hours a day. Connecticut is also ranked as one of the safest states in the USA. Lastly, It is also more affordable compared to other schools in the US and it meets my Dad’s budget. I have a scholarship as well.
VO: Oh! You have a scholarship, how did you get this?
ME: Well, I sent in all required application credentials including but not limited to my statement of purpose. I want to believe that the admissions committee found my admission file worthy of this scholarship. My work experience could be another deciding factor.
VO: What does your company do?
ME: * I told her and I was very fluent and bold **here was where I nailed it because she smiled* I told her my company is an EPC company. We do Engineering, procurement, Installation, commissioning and the rest. Engineers in the house knows the rest**She was impressed** lol. Naso I dey do party for my mind already say today na today*
VO: where would you be staying in Usa?
Me: I will be staying in the school dormitory. The school has 2 hostels but I prefer the savin court apartment and the process is on-going.
VO: who is sponsoring u and what does he do?
ME: I have a scholarship and my dad will be paying for the rest. He is the ***. I have his bank statement here.
VO: Flips through the pages of my passport and she said I will be approving your visa. She returned my I-20. Keep it safe. It is as important as your passport as you will need it at the POE in the US. She gave me the white paper and circled the location of pick up. She didn’t ask for any document.

I couldn’t hear much at this time but I kept nodding. I said thank you and do have a lovely today. Please prepare well as much as you pray. I did not let the denials of those guys in front of me to get to me. Rather, I took it as a challenge to impress the VO. Please dress well. At least, be bold in whatever you wear. There is no dress code but I was sharp in my sky blue shirt and Navy blue pant well talked in. Also, use proper English words/sentences. I thank God for this success. It is my prayer that for the rest of the spring applicants and subsequent applicants, God will favor you.
