Congratulations! Was there any deficit in your funding?

bracelum:


There are standard procedures we always discuss here that help candidates and prevent unnecessary stories during their visa interviews. They include;

- Applying to at least three schools
- Taking standardized tests (GRE/GMAT and TOEFL/IELTS)
- Following a logical study approach (BS to MS to PhD, and not BS to AA or BS to BS)

If you fail to do any of these, you are just giving yourself an unnecessary headache - a headache that should have been clearly avoided.

Your visa can be approved but make sure you tell the VO that you applied to one school - don't lie!. I don't think telling the VO that you had financial problems is important. The VO is not asking you "why did you apply to one school?"

The question is "How many schools did you apply to?" And your response should be "One" with no further story that will complicate things for you.

Regarding the i20, it is normal for schools to fund you for 8 or 9 months. You shouldn't have issues with that.

solihp:


You do not have power over the duration of the cost estimated on your i20, some schools estimate 12months, others 9months, others 8 months, the 12months only means they estimated the cost of Summer semester too, so I don't think you have anything to worry about cause like it is stated, it is just an estimate. You can as well email the international office to make enquiries

About the school you applied to, be truthful, tell the VO you considered other schools but only applied to one, shikena.

Ibruks:
Hi guys! My interview is less than a week and I just got to notice something on my i20. I got a full funding (full tuition plus monthly stipend) but my i20 shows 8 months (at that part of estimated average cost ) . It is stated in the funding letter that there'd be additional funding for teaching in the summer term so I think they didn't account for summer and I still think it should be 9 months and not 8 months. How can I take this with the VO??

solihp:


Yes you can reschedule but only once, after that you'd have to pay another visa fee

solihp:


Have you started filling the DS160 form. The code is there, you'd see application ID, that is it

solihp:


Good morning, start filling the DS160 form today, fill as much as you can, note the code of the form, because there are some info you might need on your i20 such as your US contact, you can fill other aspect and not submit the form just yet.

Create your visa appointment account and book your appointment, do not forget to submit the DS160 form when you have your i20 and at least 3 days before your interview.

NB: Act now, dates are filling up fast, as at yesterday, the earliest dates available were in July, as at this morning, few spaces opened up in May(2dates) and June(1date), so get to work.

All the best.

amofum:
Good day fam. If you require a second pair of eyes for your SOP, I'm still available. However, for those who may be shy or overly scared of plagiarism, here's one for you. In academics, there is a certain way of writing and it never changes. Your SOP is not an opportunity to restate your CV. Instead your SOP should be more like a cover letter for your CV.
In terms of content, as much as possible, you should answer the following questions: Why have you chosen the program? Why have you chosen the school? What are your plans, short-term and long-term? Why should the school choose you (I.e., how do you fit in both in terms of research experience and current interests)? Outside of academics, who are you? Answering these questions should make you SOP stronger.
In terms of structure, I would advice you to start off with a very strong introduction that briefly answers all the questions. Here you would do yourself a lot of good by spending sometime on your research interests. Try to highlight areas of fit and specify interesting research questions. Also ensure that you state names of your POI here. It is also better to conclude this paragraph by outlining how this program would help you achieve your long-term goals. In my opinion "being a professor of management" does not sound better than "a career in teaching and research on topics such as leadership and employee motivation."
In the next paragraph, I would advice you to bring in your most relevant research experience. In this paragraph, you should try to "show don't tell". By this, I mean it is not enough to just tell the committeee that you have experience or skill, write with examples.
In the third paragraph, you should bring in your academic experience, especially if this is not your most recent research experience. Although there'll be that temptation to start listing courses, topics treated and thesis experience are more important. Your transcripts would carry the names of your courses, dwell more on topics covered. Also, I think it's important for you to walk the committee through your thesis experience. Process, research questions, methods, and findings are really important.
In your fourth paragraph, you should highlight your other reasons four joining the program. Here you must try as much as possible to be specific.
Fourth paragraph should contain something about yourself outside of academics. Here I would advice you to tell the committee what else you can add to the community.
Fifth paragraph should be that strong conclusion.

For the structure of each paragraph after the first, the first sentence should state the main idea. Every other sentence should provide explanations about that opening sentence. For instance, the second paragraph should start with something like "currently, I work as a research assistant at xnxx.com. In this role I have worked closes with Prof. HOC. Amongst my research contributions at xnxx.com, I have done xyz"

Finally, this is just my own opinion. I am neither a professor not a committee member, you should take this with a pinch of kilishi and a bottle of orijin.

If I remember any other thing ama update this post. Cheers to your adimishun.

If there would be a vehicle from Ibadan to Kaduna then board that vehicle and then proceed from Kaduna to Katsina but if there's no vehicle that would come down to Kaduna from there then board a vehicle going to Abuja, from Abuja to Kaduna and then to Katsina.
Just so you know, Katsina has a nice camp.

My sister was posted to Borno state and to camp in Kastina. Is there any other person that was posted there too? From pH.
