1. V.O: who would look after your kids while you're in the US?

2. V.O: Why is your family not accompanying you?

3. V.O: Your sister in the U.S means close family ties convince me otherwise ?

Having well thought answers on these would be great but since you have full funding and going for a PhD the interview might last less than a minute and you would not be asked any of these.

Blegolicious:
My supposedly transcript............ criticise and correct please

School- Tennessee Technological University
Course- Exceptional Learning, concentration in Applied behavioural Analysis
Graduate Assistantship position with 100% tuition waiver

V.O: why are you travelling to US?
Me: To pursue a fully funded PhD in Exceptional Learning and major in Applied behavioural analysis. It is a 5 years full time degree program that includes 79 semester credit hour which integrates research, theory and practical application.

VO: why Tennessee Technological University

Me: During my research in Universities that offers behavioural courses in Education, I came across TTU, it offers Exceptional Learning PhD, Applied behavioural Analysis which is in relation with what I studied in my master's level (Managerial Psychology)
Also, I got to know that Dr Akenson and Dr Krystal had a research publication that aligned with my future research topic which is - Develpmental disabilities, intervention and treatment of individuals with special needs such as Autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, Dyslexia and learning difficulties in general.
TTU is a member of Association for Behavioural Analysis International Council for Exceptional children

VO: why this course?

VO: What other school did you apply to?

Me: Bowling Green State University, East Tennessee State University, University of Tennessee Knoxville. Was given admission in all university to study MSc in Early childhood Education

VO: What is this course about?
Me: This course is mainly about management and treatment of individuals with special traits like learning deficiency, speech coordination deficiency, restlessness, hypersensitivity etc. These individuals have problems with social communication and interaction
It focuses on characteristics strengths and educational needs of individuals and groups whose learning potentials and opportunities for success are frequently unrealistic. Their social, economic and physical characteristics serves as a barrier to development and learning

VO: what do you intend to do with it in your home country?

Me: I intend to be a special needs educator in my home country as I observed our special needs schools lack core management and behavioural treatment of these individuals, they are usually neglected and stigmatised. Society writes them off and doesn't give them a chance to achieve their potentials. I believe if they have professional behavioural management and treatment this will bring out the best in them and gradually will ne accepted In the society cos they will exhibit it.

Hello guys, do we have applicants that schooled in Unical? Is it true that the school is asking for $100 to do the Wes verification of transcript?

Please I have no idea on it. But you can google.. most certain you will find good information. I used the net many times.

SapphireFort:
please do you know how to update DS 160 for dependent? The only option showing is for principal applicant.

You can edit them to represent the true state of facts. Either way it's up to you.

Mickeybook:
Thank You, I should keep trying.... What about my intentions... Should leave them the way they are or I should edit ?

Simple retrieve your old DS160 number or alternatively create a new one the down side of this being that you will have to reenter all your entries. Either way you will have to go update your us visa page with these new DS160 number provided it's 2 days before interview. Did change my DS160 a couple of times..

Mickeybook:

I think I didn't express my role as much as I would like to 2. I would like to maintain my precious highest academic records being a master in Business Administration....I deliberately omitted this , since I'm still going for another masters .... Great people pls I need advice ... I should find a way to edit all these all should leave it as it is .
